报告摘要：

The computation of derivatives of functions is a standard task in numerical analysis. Starting from analytical methods and their implementation, we will also investigate the computation of robust and high-accuracy derivatives of functions which are realized only as computer source code. This situation often arises when dealing with third party code eg. from industrial project partners. Finally, the computation of derivatives across dynamical models will be discussed, relating the general problem to the more specific task of computing the derivative of the numerical solution of initial value problems with respect to system parameters and initial values. Applications of these techniques are found in the numerical optimization of processes modeled by ordinary differential equations (ODE) and the solution of boundary value problems for ODE models.
