On an estimation of the roots of algebraic equations
The paper deals with existence and uniqueness results and with the numerical solution of the nonsmooth variational problem describing a deflection of a thin annular plate with Neumann boundary conditions. Various types of the subsoil and the obstacle which influence the plate deformation are considered. Numerical experiments compare two different algorithms.
We present a local and a semi-local convergence analysis of an iterative method for approximating zeros of derivatives for solving univariate and unconstrained optimization problems. In the local case, the radius of convergence is obtained, whereas in the semi-local case, sufficient convergence criteria are presented. Numerical examples are also provided.
We develop and test a relatively simple enhancement of the classical model reduction method applied to a class of chemical networks with mass conservation properties. Both the methods, being (i) the standard quasi-steady-state approximation method, and (ii) the novel so-called delayed quasi-steady-state approximation method, firstly proposed by Vejchodský (2014), are extensively presented. Both theoretical and numerical issues related to the setting of delays are discussed. Namely, for one slightly...
We prove that penalization of constraints occuring in the linear elliptic Neumann problem yields directly the exact solution for an arbitrary set of penalty parameters. In this case there is a continuum of Lagrange's multipliers. The proposed penalty method is applied to calculate the magnetic field in the window of a transformer.
