We perform a complete study of the truncation error of the Gegenbauer series. This series yields an expansion of the Green kernel of the Helmholtz equation, $\frac{{\mathrm{e}}^{i|\overrightarrow{u}-\overrightarrow{v}|}}{4\pi i|\overrightarrow{u}-\overrightarrow{v}|}$, which is the core of the Fast Multipole Method for the integral equations. We consider the truncated series where the summation is performed over the indices $\ell \le L$. We prove that if $v=|\overrightarrow{v}|$ is large enough, the truncated series gives rise to an error lower than as soon as satisfies $L+\frac{1}{2}\simeq v+C{W}^{\frac{2}{3}}\left(K\left(\alpha \right){ϵ}^{-\delta }{v}^{\gamma }\right)v^{\frac{1}{3}}$ where  is the Lambert function, $K\left(\alpha \right)$ depends...

We perform a complete study of the truncation error of the Jacobi-Anger series. This series expands every plane wave ${\mathrm{e}}^{i\widehat{s}·\overrightarrow{v}}$ in terms of spherical harmonics ${\left\{Y_{\ell ,m}\left(\widehat{s}\right)\right\}}_{\left|m\right|\le \ell \le \infty }$. We consider the truncated series where the summation is performed over the $(\ell ,m)$'s satisfying $\left|m\right|\le \ell \le L$. We prove that if $v=|\overrightarrow{v}|$ is large enough, the truncated series gives rise to an error lower than as soon as satisfies $L+\frac{1}{2}\simeq v+C{W}^{\frac{2}{3}}\left(K{ϵ}^{-\delta }{v}^{\gamma }\right)v^{\frac{1}{3}}$ where is the Lambert function and $C,K,\delta ,\gamma$ are pure positive constants. Numerical experiments show that this asymptotic...

We study existence and approximation of non-negative solutions of partial differential equations of the type 
 $${\partial }_{t}u-div\left(A(\nabla \left(f\left(u\right)\right)+u\nabla V)\right)=0\text{in}(0,+\infty )\times {ℝ}^n,(0.1)$$ where is a symmetric matrix-valued function of the spatial variable satisfying a uniform ellipticity condition, $f:[0,+\infty )\to [0,+\infty )$ is a suitable non decreasing function, $V:{ℝ}^n\to ℝ$ is a convex function. Introducing the energy functional $\phi \left(u\right)={\int }_{{ℝ}^n}F\left(u\left(x\right)\right)\mathrm{d}x+{\int }_{{ℝ}^n}V\left(x\right)u\left(x\right)\mathrm{d}x$, where is a convex function linked to by $f\left(u\right)=u{F}^{\text{'}}\left(u\right)-F\left(u\right)$, we show that is the “gradient flow” of with respect to the 2-Wasserstein distance between probability measures on the...

A tracking problem is considered in the context of a class $𝒮$ of multi-input, multi-output, nonlinear systems modelled by controlled functional differential equations. The class contains, as a prototype, all finite-dimensional, linear, -input, -output, minimum-phase systems with sign-definite “high-frequency gain". The first control objective is tracking of reference signals by the output of any system in $𝒮$: given $\lambda \ge 0$, construct a feedback strategy which ensures that, for every (assumed...
