Well-posedness and Numerical Solution of a Nonlinear Volterra Partial Integro-differential Equation Modeling a Swelling Porous Material

Wojciechowski, K.J., Chen, J., Schreyer-Bennethum, and Sandberg, K., Journal of Porous Media, 17(9), p. 763-784, (2014)

Synopsis: The paper describes a pseudo-spectral based numerical method for solving a non-linear initial-boundary problem in polar geometry. The method is applied to a Volterra integrodifferential equation used to model the behavior of swolleng porous material.

ODE-solvers Using Band-limited Approximations

The EPS Method: A New Method for Constructing Pseudo-spectral Derivative Operators

Sandberg, K. and Wojciechowski, K.J., Journal of Computational Physics, 230(15), p. 5836–5863, (2011)

Synopsis: This paper describes a method for constructing pseudo-spectral derivatives with boundary conditions incorporated. The advantage of the described approach is that it provides a matrix norm that scales optimally with size, which enables significantly larger time steps in PDE schemes than traditional pseudo-spectral derivative operators.

The Curve Filter Transform: A Robust Method for Curve Enhancement

Sandberg, K., Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), 6454, p. 107-116 (2010)

Synopsis: This paper describes a simple, yet extremely powerful method for denoising, enhancing, and segmenting curve-like structures in images.  The method is based on the notion of curve fields and the Curve Field Transform (CFT) (a.k.a. the Curve Filter Transform).

The Generalized Orientation Field Transform

in Object Modeling, Algorithms, and Applications, Barneva, R.P. et al Ed., Research Publishing (2010)

Synopsis: This paper generalizes earlier work of using orientation fields for segmenting line-like structures, to more general curve-like structures.

Curve Enhancement Using Orientation Fields

Sandberg, K., Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), 5875, p. 564-575 (2009)

Synopsis: This paper describes a method for generating orientation fields of images, and using such fields to enhance, denoise, and segment lines and curves in images.
