Optimal-order quadratic interpolation in vertices of unstructured triangulations

Josef Dalík (2008)

Applications of Mathematics

We study the problem of Lagrange interpolation of functions of two variables by quadratic polynomials under the condition that nodes of interpolation are vertices of a triangulation. For an extensive class of triangulations we prove that every inner vertex belongs to a local six-tuple of vertices which, used as nodes of interpolation, have the following property: For every smooth function there exists a unique quadratic Lagrange interpolation polynomial and the related local interpolation error...

Optimization and pole assignment in control system design

Eric Chu (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Some elementary optimization techniques, together with some not so well-known robustness measures and condition numbers, will be utilized in pole assignment. In particular, ''Method 0'' by Kautsky et al. (1985) for optimal selection of vectors is shown to be convergent to a local minimum, with respect to the condition number . This contrasts with the misconception by Kautsky et al. that the method diverges, or the recent discovery by Yang and Tits (1995) that the method converges to stationary points....

Optimization of parameters in the Menzerath–Altmann law

Ján Andres, Lubomír Kubáček, Jitka Machalová, Michaela Tučková (2012)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Four formulas of the Menzerath–Altmann law are tested from the point of view of their applicability and suitability. The accuracy of related approximations of measured data is examined by the least square method at first. Then the accuracy of calculated parameters in the formulas under consideration is compared statistically. The influence of neglecting parameter c is investigated as well. Finally, the obtained results are discussed by means of an illustrative example from quantitative linguistics....

Optimization of plunger cavity

Salač, Petr (2013)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

In the contribution we present a problem of shape optimization of the cooling cavity of a plunger that is used in the forming process in the glass in dustry. A rotationally symmetric system of the mould, the glass piece, the plunger and the plunger cavity is considered. The state problem is given as a stationary heat conduction process. The system includes a heat source representing the glass piece that is cooled from inside by water flowing through the plunger cavity and from outside by the environment surrounding...

Optimization of Rational Approximations by Continued Fractions

Blomquist, Frithjof (2007)

Serdica Journal of Computing

The paper has been presented at the 12th International Conference on Applications of Computer Algebra, Varna, Bulgaria, June, 2006.To get guaranteed machine enclosures of a special function f(x), an upper bound ε(f) of the relative error is needed, where ε(f) itself depends on the error bounds ε(app); ε(eval) of the approximation and evaluation error respectively. The approximation function g(x) ≈ f(x) is a rational function (Remez algorithm), and with sufficiently high polynomial degrees ε(app) becomes...

Optimization of the domain in elliptic problems by the dual finite element method

Ivan Hlaváček (1985)

Aplikace matematiky

An optimal part of the boundary of a plane domain for the Poisson equation with mixed boundary conditions is to be found. The cost functional is (i) the internal energy, (ii) the norm of the external flux through the unknown boundary. For the numerical solution of the state problem a dual variational formulation - in terms of the gradient of the solution - and spaces of divergence-free piecewise linear finite elements are used. The existence of an optimal domain and some convergence results are...
