A simulated annealing algorithm to quantify patterns in astronomical data [PDF]
ABSTRACT We develop an optimization algorithm, using simulated annealing for the quantification of patterns in astronomical data based on techniques developed for robotic vision applications. The methodology falls in the category of cost minimization algorithms and it is based on user-determined interaction – among the pattern elements –

Computer Simulations of Astronomical Phenomena [PDF]
The basic idea of this project is to introduce a senior student to an astronomical phenomenon that he analyses carefully and simulates on the graphic screen of a personal computer. In a second step, this simulation serves as a demonstration for junior students.Three examples are presented here: the retrograde motion of the planets, the Earth’s rotation,

Global Vlasov simulation on magnetospheres of astronomical objects
Space plasma is a collisionless, multi-scale, and highly nonlinear medium. There are various types of self-consistent computer simulations that treat space plasma according to various approximations. We develop numerical schemes for solving the Vlasov (collisionless Boltzmann) equation, which is the first-principle kinetic equation for collisionless ...
