We study the 3-D elasticity problem in the case of a non-symmetric heterogeneous rod. The asymptotic expansion of the solution is constructed. The coercitivity of the homogenized equation is proved. Estimates are derived for the difference between the truncated series and the exact solution.
We prove the convergence of polynomial collocation method for periodic singular integral, pseudodifferential and the systems of pseudodifferential equations in Sobolev spaces via the equivalence between the collocation and modified Galerkin methods. The boundness of the Lagrange interpolation operator in this spaces when allows to obtain the optimal error estimate for the approximate solution i.e. it has the same rate as the best approximation of the exact solution by the polynomials.
Equations are derived for the autocorrelation function of a trended series. The special case of a linear trend is analysed in detail. It is shown that the zero of the autocorrelation function of a trended series is, in general, only dependent on the length of the series. This result is valid for stochastic and deterministic trends.
Some iterative methods of mathematical programming use a damping sequence {αt} such that 0 ≤ αt ≤ 1 for all t, αt → 0 as t → ∞, and Σ αt = ∞. For example, αt = 1/(t+1) in Brown's method for solving matrix games. In this paper, for a model class of iterative methods, the convergence rate for any damping sequence {αt} depending only on time t is computed. The computation is used to find the best damping sequence.
