A parallel block Lanczos algorithm and its implementation for the evaluation of some eigenvalues of large sparse symmetric matrices on multicomputers

Mario Guarracino, Francesca Perla, Paolo Zanetti (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In the present work we describe HPEC (High Performance Eigenvalues Computation), a parallel software package for the evaluation of some eigenvalues of a large sparse symmetric matrix. It implements an efficient and portable Block Lanczos algorithm for distributed memory multicomputers. HPEC is based on basic linear algebra operations for sparse and dense matrices, some of which have been derived by ScaLAPACK library modules. Numerical experiments have been carried out to evaluate HPEC performance...

A parallel method for population balance equations based on the method of characteristics

Li, Yu, Lin, Qun, Xie, Hehu (2013)

Applications of Mathematics 2013

In this paper, we present a parallel scheme to solve the population balance equations based on the method of characteristics and the finite element discretization. The application of the method of characteristics transform the higher dimensional population balance equation into a series of lower dimensional convection-diffusion-reaction equations which can be solved in a parallel way. Some numerical results are presented to show the accuracy and efficiency.

A parallel projection method for linear algebraic systems

Fridrich Sloboda (1978)

Aplikace matematiky

A direct projection method for solving systems of linear algebraic equations is described. The algorithm is equivalent to the algorithm for minimization of the corresponding quadratic function and can be generalized for the minimization of a strictly convex function.

A parameter choice for Tikhonov regularization for solving nonlinear inverse problems leading to optimal convergence rates

Otmar Scherzer (1993)

Applications of Mathematics

We give a derivation of an a-posteriori strategy for choosing the regularization parameter in Tikhonov regularization for solving nonlinear ill-posed problems, which leads to optimal convergence rates. This strategy requires a special stability estimate for the regularized solutions. A new proof fot this stability estimate is given.

A parameter-free smoothness indicator for high-resolution finite element schemes

Dmitri Kuzmin, Friedhelm Schieweck (2013)

Open Mathematics

This paper presents a postprocessing technique for estimating the local regularity of numerical solutions in high-resolution finite element schemes. A derivative of degree p ≥ 0 is considered to be smooth if a discontinuous linear reconstruction does not create new maxima or minima. The intended use of this criterion is the identification of smooth cells in the context of p-adaptation or selective flux limiting. As a model problem, we consider a 2D convection equation discretized with bilinear finite...

A parameter-free stabilized finite element method for scalar advection-diffusion problems

Pavel Bochev, Kara Peterson (2013)

Open Mathematics

We formulate and study numerically a new, parameter-free stabilized finite element method for advection-diffusion problems. Using properties of compatible finite element spaces we establish connection between nodal diffusive fluxes and one-dimensional diffusion equations on the edges of the mesh. To define the stabilized method we extend this relationship to the advection-diffusion case by solving simplified one-dimensional versions of the governing equations on the edges. Then we use H(curl)-conforming...
