Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

During the last 25 years, computational techniques for dynamical systems and optimization problems have been developed which allow for the efficient and rigorous approximation of solutions of arbitrary shape and topology. They already have found manifold applications in, e.g., molecular dynamics, engineering, climate research and biology. This issue collects contributions the workshop on Set Oriented Numerics held at the University of Paderborn in 2022 (https://sites.google.com/view/son-2020/home), containing recent advances and exploring connections to other techniques.

Motion planning methods often rely on libraries of primitives. The selection of primitives is then crucial for assuring feasible solutions and good performance within the motion planner. In the literature, the library is usually designed by either learning from demonstration, relying entirely on data, or by model-based approaches, with the advantage of exploiting the dynamical system’s property, e.g., symmetries. In this work, we propose a method combining data with a dynamical model to optimally select primitives. The library is designed based on primitives with highest occurrences within the data set, while Lie group symmetries from a model are analysed in the available data to allow for structure-exploiting primitives. We illustrate our technique in an autonomous driving application. Primitives are identified based on data from human driving, with the freedom to build libraries of different sizes as a parameter of choice. We also compare the extracted library with a custom selection of primitives regarding the performance of obtained solutions for a street layout based on a real-world scenario. Full article

Abstract
The goal in multiobjective optimization is to determine the so-called Pareto set. Our optimization problem is governed by a parameter-dependent semi-linear elliptic partial differential equation (PDE). To solve it, we use a gradient-based set-oriented numerical method.

The goal in multiobjective optimization is to determine the so-called Pareto set. Our optimization problem is governed by a parameter-dependent semi-linear elliptic partial differential equation (PDE). To solve it, we use a gradient-based set-oriented numerical method. The numerical solution of the PDE by standard discretization methods usually leads to high computational effort. To overcome this difficulty, reduced-order modeling (ROM) is developed utilizing the reduced basis method. These model simplifications cause inexactness in the gradients. For that reason, an additional descent condition is proposed. Applying a modified subdivision algorithm, numerical experiments illustrate the efficiency of our solution approach. Full article
