A new proof of some inequality connected with quadratures.
We introduce a new stable MINI-element pair for incompressible Stokes equations on quadrilateral meshes, which uses the smallest number of bubbles for the velocity. The pressure is discretized with the P1-midpoint-edge-continuous elements and each component of the velocity field is done with the standard Q1-conforming elements enriched by one bubble a quadrilateral. The superconvergence in the pressure of the proposed pair is analyzed on uniform rectangular meshes, and tested numerically on uniform...
This work is concerned with the introduction of a new numerical scheme based on the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. We propose to follow the methodology of higher order finite volume schemes and introduce a reconstruction operator into the DG scheme. This operator constructs higher order piecewise polynomial reconstructions from the lower order DG scheme. Such a procedure was proposed already in [2] based on heuristic arguments, however we provide a rigorous derivation, which justifies the increased...
We present below a new series of conjectures and open problems in the fields of (global) Optimization and Matrix analysis, in the same spirit as our recently published paper [J.-B. Hiriart-Urruty, Potpourri of conjectures and open questions in Nonlinear analysis and Optimization. SIAM Review 49 (2007) 255–273]. With each problem come a succinct presentation, a list of specific references, and a view on the state of the art of the subject.

In this paper, we present a simultaneous subgradient algorithm for solving the multiple-sets split feasibility problem. The algorithm employs two extrapolated factors in each iteration, which not only improves feasibility by eliminating the need to compute the Lipschitz constant, but also enhances flexibility due to applying variable step size. The convergence of the algorithm is proved under suitable conditions. Numerical results illustrate that the new algorithm has better convergence than the...
We study the regularity of refinable functions by analyzing the spectral properties of special operators associated to the refinement equation; in particular, we use the Fredholm determinant theory to derive numerical estimates for the spectral radius of these operators in certain spaces. This new technique is particularly useful for estimating the regularity in the cases where the refinement equation has an infinite number of nonzero coefficients and in the multidimensional cases.
The motion of an incompressible fluid confined to a shallow basin with a slightly varying bottom topography is considered. Coriolis force, surface wind and pressure stresses, together with bottom and lateral friction stresses are taken into account. We introduce appropriate scalings into a three-dimensional anisotropic eddy viscosity model; after averaging on the vertical direction and considering some asymptotic assumptions, we obtain a two-dimensional model, which approximates the three-dimensional...

In this paper we propose a new method for solving nonlinear systems of equations in finite dimensional spaces, combining the Newton-Raphson's method with the SOR idea. For the proof we adapt Kantorovich's demonstration given for the Newton-Raphson's method. As applications we reobtain the classical Newton-Raphson's method and the author's Newton-Kantorovich-Seidel type result.
