I have a PhD in applied mathematics from Centre of Mathematics for Applications, CMA, at the University of Oslo.

My research interests:

  • Numerical methods for hyperbolic conservations laws.
  • Astrophysical fluid dynamics, magnetohydrodynamics.
  • Hamilton-Jacobi equations, theory and numerics.

    Publications:

  • Christian Klingenberg, Wolfram Schmidt and Knut Waagan: Numerical comparison of Riemann solvers for astrophysical hydrodynamics. To appear in Journal of Computational Physics
  • F. Bouchut, C. Klingenberg, and K. Waagan: A multiwave approximate Riemann solver for ideal MHD based on relaxation I : Theoretical framework. To appear in Numerische Mathematik.
  • Knut Waagan: Convergence rate of monotone numerical schemes for Hamilton-Jacobi equations with weak boundary conditions. Preprint.
  • Knut Waagan: Numerical methods for first order hyperbolic evolution equations. PhD-thesis, University of Oslo, 2007.
