Estimating an even spherical measure from its sine transform

Lars Michael Hoffmann (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

To reconstruct an even Borel measure on the unit sphere from finitely many values of its sine transform a least square estimator is proposed. Applying results by Gardner, Kiderlen and Milanfar we estimate its rate of convergence and prove strong consistency. We close this paper by giving an estimator for the directional distribution of certain three-dimensional stationary Poisson processes of convex cylinders which have applications in material science.

Fast and correctly rounded logarithms in double-precision

Florent de Dinechin, Christoph Lauter, Jean-Michel Muller (2007)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

This article is a case study in the implementation of a portable, proven and efficient correctly rounded elementary function in double-precision. We describe the methodology used to achieve these goals in the crlibm library. There are two novel aspects to this approach. The first is the proof framework, and in general the techniques used to balance performance and provability. The second is the introduction of processor-specific optimization to get performance equivalent to the best current...

Lanczos-like algorithm for the time-ordered exponential: The * -inverse problem

Pierre-Louis Giscard, Stefano Pozza (2020)

Applications of Mathematics

The time-ordered exponential of a time-dependent matrix 𝖠 ( t ) is defined as the function of 𝖠 ( t ) that solves the first-order system of coupled linear differential equations with non-constant coefficients encoded in 𝖠 ( t ) . The authors have recently proposed the first Lanczos-like algorithm capable of evaluating this function. This algorithm relies on inverses of time-dependent functions with respect to a non-commutative convolution-like product, denoted by * . Yet, the existence of such inverses, crucial to...

Meshless Polyharmonic Div-Curl Reconstruction

M. N. Benbourhim, A. Bouhamidi (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this paper, we will discuss the meshless polyharmonic reconstruction of vector fields from scattered data, possibly, contaminated by noise. We give an explicit solution of the problem. After some theoretical framework, we discuss some numerical aspect arising in the problems related to the reconstruction of vector fields
