-widths for singularly perturbed problems
-widths for singularly perturbed problems
Kolmogorov -widths are an approximation theory concept that, for a given problem, yields information about the optimal rate of convergence attainable by any numerical method applied to that problem. We survey sharp bounds recently obtained for the -widths of certain singularly perturbed convection-diffusion and reaction-diffusion boundary value problems.
Origins, analysis, numerical analysis, and numerical approximation of a forward-backward parabolic problem
Origins, analysis, numerical analysis, and numerical approximation of a forward-backward parabolic problem
We consider the analysis and numerical solution of a forward-backward boundary value problem. We provide some motivation, prove existence and uniqueness in a function class especially geared to the problem at hand, provide various energy estimates, prove error estimates for the Galerkin method, and show the results of some numerical computations.
