Mathematical models as research data in numerical simulation of opto-electronic devices

摘要

Mathematical models are the foundation of numerical simulation of optoelectronic devices. We present a concept for a machine-actionable as well as human-understandable representation of the mathematical knowledge they contain and the domain-specific knowledge they are based on. We propose to use theory graphs to formalize mathematical models and model pathway diagrams to visualize them. We illustrate our approach by application to the stationary one-dimensional drift-diffusion equations (van Roosbroeck system).
