New blackbox global optimization benchmarks shows that the #julialang BlackBoxOptim.jl (BBO) outperforms the classic C-based NLopt on a wide array of difficult optimization problems.

I'm a big fan of minimal working examples (MWEs). They're so concise, clear, and educational, making them incredibly student-friendly.

Instructive and fascinating article by @chrisrackauckas, the main developer of the amazing #julialang package DifferentialEquations. The shadowing lemma is the most interesting thing I’ve learned about this week!

#MathWorks server issues have persisted for days, affecting licensing and downloads. This highlights how dependent many academic workflows are on proprietary systems.

Consider alternatives that remain available regardless of vendor status:

🔹 Julia – built for numerical computing
🔹 Python – widely used, with strong scientific libraries

Both are open-source and resilient.

I often find myself having to explain stress derivation from hyperelastic formulations to research students. And I also have to explain the difference between constrained/coupled/uncoupled formulations a lot.

So I've been creating an #opensource educational resource on this here:
github.com/Kevin-Mattheus-Moer

It has now been extended with a #Pluto notebook showing the equations as well as a #Julialang numerical implementation.

I've also added the source for a fun companion presentation to show "the anatomy" of the Ogden hyperelastic formulation.

Whoopsy

(setting to levelset value too low for a Gyroid shell reconstruction leads to a crummy mess)

And, yep it works for the Batman curve too. Always an important test.

The left image shows interior triangulation and right image shows exterior triangulation. In both cases the algorithm computes angles on the input boundary segments (blue curve) and creates triangles where the angle is smallest and below a threshold. Next the boundary is updated to include the new line segment introduced by the new triangle, and the point "skipped" by adding this triangle is removed from the boundary list. The process continues until there are no more triangles to add. Here I set the threshold to 180 degrees so you get a fully triangulated state.
