Numerical solution of traffic flow models
Vacek, Lukáš ; Kučera, Václav (advisor)
Our work describes the simulation of traffic flows on networks. These are described by partial differential equations. For the numerical solution of our models, we use the discontinuous Galerkin method in space and a multistep method in time. This combination of the two methods on networks is unique and leads to a robust numerical scheme. We use several different approaches to model the traffic flow. Thus, our program must solve both scalar problems as well as systems of equations described by first and second order partial differential equations. The output of our programs is, among other things, the evolution of traffic density in time and 1D space. Since this is a physical quantity, we introduce limiters which keep the density in an admissible interval. Moreover, limiters prevent spurious oscillations in the numerical solution. All the above is performed on networks. Thus, we must deal with the situation at the junctions, which is not standard. The main task is to ensure that the law of conservation of the total amount of cars passing through the junction is still satisfied. This is achieved by modifying the numerical flux for junctions. The result of this work is the comparison of all the models, the demonstration of the benefits of the discontinuous Galerkin method and the influence of limiters.
Numerical modelling of compressible flow using spectral element method
Jurček, Martin ; Dolejší, Vít (advisor) ; Kučera, Václav (referee)
The development of computational fluid dynamics has given us a very powerful tool for investigation of fluid dynamics. However, in order to maintain the progress, it is necessary to improve the numerical algorithms. Nowadays, the high-order methods based on the discontinuous projection seem to have the largest potential for the future. In the work, we used open-source framework Nektar++, which provides the high-order discretization method. We tested the abilities of the framework for computing the compressible sonic and transonic flow. We successfully obtained simulations of the viscous and inviscid flow. We computed the lift and the drag coefficients and showed that for a higher polynomial order we can obtain the same accuracy with less degrees of freedom and lower computational time. Also, we tested the shock capturing method for the computation of the inviscid transonic flow and confirmed the potential of the high order methods. 1
The Crime of Trafficking in human beings
Kučera, Václav ; Tejnská, Katarína (advisor) ; Beranová, Andrea (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to investigate the crime of Trafficking in human beings from the point of view of substantive criminal law in the Czech Republic, to analyze its weaknesses and propose their solution. The investigation should include an assessment of whether the Czech Republic's regulation is in line with international law obligations to criminalize this crime. In this work, compilation, legal-historical, analytical and general and legal interpretation methods are used. The first part is an introduction to the issue of human trafficking. This part introduces the subject of the social deviant phenomenon and points out the necessity of its perception in various, not only legal, fields. The following is a historical outline of the development of looking at human trafficking. In the second, fundamental part of the thesis, there is an analysis of the valid substantive criminal law, which deals with human trafficking. This hermeneutic-critical analysis serves to determine the problems that are proposed in the third part of the thesis. The work for quality analysis explores the historical basis of the legal regulation of the crime of trafficking in human beings. It also sets out the three most important sources of international law, which affect the current regulation and compares whether they are...
Regularization properties of Krylov subspace methods
Kučerová, Andrea ; Hnětynková, Iveta (advisor) ; Kučera, Václav (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to study and describe regularizing properties of iterative Krylov subspace methods for finding a solution of linear algebraic ill- posed problems contaminated by white noise. First we explain properties of this kind of problems, especially their sensitivity to small perturbations in data. It is shown that classical methods for solving approximation problems (such as the least squares method) fail here. Thus we turn to explanation of regularizing pro- perties of projections onto Krylov subspaces. Basic Krylov regularizing methods are considered, namely RRGMRES, CGLS, and LSQR. The results are illustrated on model problems from Regularization toolbox in MATLAB. 1
Numerical solution of equations describing the dynamics of flocking
Živčáková, Andrea ; Kučera, Václav (advisor)
This work is devoted to the numerical solution of equations describing the dynamics of flocks of birds. Specifically, we pay attention to the Euler equati- ons for compressible flow with a right-hand side correction. This model is based on the work Fornasier et al. (2010). Due to the complexity of the model, we focus only on the one-dimensional case. For the numerical solution we use a semi- implicit discontinuous Galerkin method. Discretization of the right-hand side is chosen so that we preserve the structure of the semi-implicit scheme for the Euler equations presented in the work Feistauer, Kučera (2007). The proposed numeri- cal scheme was implemented and numerical experiments showing the robustness of the scheme were carried out. 1
On the Dijkstra's algorithm in the pedestrian flow problem
Petrášová, Tereza ; Felcman, Jiří (advisor) ; Kučera, Václav (referee)
Title: On the Dijkstra's algorithm in the Pedestrian Flow Problem Author: Tereza Petrášová Department: Department of Numerical Mathematics Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Jiří Felcman, CSc., Department of Numerical Mathe- matics Abstract: The pedestrian flow problem is described by a coupled system of the first order hyperbolic partial differential equations with the source term and by the functional minimization problem for the desired direction of motion. The functional minimization is based on the modified Dijkstra's algorithm used to find the minimal path to the exit. The original modification of the Dijkstra's algorithm is proposed to increase its efficiency in the pedestrian flow problem. This approach is compared with the algorithm of Bornemann and Rasch for determination of the desired direction of motion based on the solution of the so- called Eikonal equation. Both approaches are numerically tested in the framework of two splitting algorithms for solution of the coupled problem. The former splitting algorithm is based on the finite volume method yielding for the given time instant the piecewise constant approximation of the solution. The latter one uses the implicit discretization by a space-time discontinuous Galerkin method based on the discontinuous piecewise polynomial approximation. The numerical examples...
The Gibbs phenomenon in the discontinuous Galerkin method
Stará, Lenka ; Kučera, Václav (advisor) ; Sváček, Petr (referee)
The solution of the Burgers' equation computed by the standard finite element method is degraded by oscillations, which are the manifestation of the Gibbs phenomenon. In this work we study the following numerical me- thods: Discontinuous Galerkin method, stable low order schemes and the flux corrected technique method in order to prevent the undesired Gibbs phenomenon. The focus is on the reduction of severe overshoots and under- shoots and the preservation of the smoothness of the solution. We consider a simple 1D problem on the interval (0, 1) with different initial conditions to demonstrate the properties of the presented methods. The numerical results of individual methods are provided. 1

Legal regulation of employment termination
Kučera, Václav ; Vysokajová, Margerita (advisor) ; Štefko, Martin (referee)
Presented rigorous thesis deals with legislation of employment termination and also institutions included in the employment termination. The termination notice is very frequented way of ending the employment although this unilateral juridical proceedings may be find as complications free, questions are arising during its application in place, and this thesis is trying to find satisfactory answers. It can be considered, that application of the institute has been carrying on contra legem, especially in terms of application by the employer, as we can find in rich court juridical. Employers do not hesitate to terminate employment by using termination notice even though, they did not meet legal conditions or they just simply feign meeting legal conditions. It depends on the employee and his willingness with strength to undergo law enforcement of his claims at independent courts. This thesis examines in detail the institute of dismissal, pointing out the historical adjustments and adjustments in international documents, closely devoting the employment itself, object, subject, content, commencement and duration of the employment and also employer duties connected to the employment. Thereafter the thesis deals with legal actions and their validity or otherwise. Delivering, typical for directed legal...
Reorthogonalization strategies in Golub-Kahan iterative bidiagonalization
Šmelík, Martin ; Hnětynková, Iveta (advisor) ; Kučera, Václav (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is to describe Golub-Kahan iterative bidiagonalization and its connection with Lanczos tridiagonalization and Krylov space theory. The Golub-Kahan iterative bidiagonalization is based on short recurrencies and when computing in finite precision arithmetics, the loss of orthogonality often occurs. Consequently, with the aim to reduce the loss of orthogonality, we focus on various reorthogonalization strategies. We compare them in numerical experiments on testing matrices available in the MATLAB environment. We study the dependency of the loss of orthogonalization and computational time on the choice of the method or the attributes of the matrix.
