Cottle’s proof that the minimal number of -simplices needed to triangulate the unit -cube equals uses a modest amount of computer generated results. In this paper we remove the need for computer aid, using some lemmas that may be useful also in a broader context. One of the -simplices involved, the so-called antipodal simplex, has acute dihedral angles. We continue with the study of such acute binary simplices and point out their possible relation to the Hadamard determinant problem.
Independently with [7] a corresponding fuzzy approach has been developed in [3-5] with applications in measure theory. One of the results the Egoroff theorem has been proved in an abstract form. In [1] a necessary and sufficient condition for holding the Egoroff theorem was presented in the case of a space with a monotone measure. By the help of [2] and [6] we prove a variant of the Egoroff theorem stated in [4].
We review and discuss a method to normalize triangles by the longest-edge. A geometric diagram is described as a helpful tool for studying and interpreting the quality of triangle shapes during iterative mesh refinements. Modern CAE systems as those implementing the finite element method (FEM) require such tools for guiding the user about the quality of generated triangulations. In this paper we show that a similar method and corresponding geometric diagram in the three-dimensional case do not exist....
We present a completely new -anisotropic mesh adaptation technique for the numerical solution of partial differential equations with the aid of a discontinuous piecewise polynomial approximation. This approach generates general anisotropic triangular grids and the corresponding degrees of polynomial approximation based on the minimization of the interpolation error. We develop the theoretical background of this approach and present a numerical example demonstrating the efficiency of this anisotropic...
In this paper we consider a parabolic inverse problem in which two unknown functions are involved in the boundary conditions, and attempt to recover these functions by measuring the values of the flux on the boundary. Explicit solutions for the temperature and the radiation terms are derived, and some stability and asymptotic results are discussed. Finally, by using the newly proposed numerical procedure some computational results are presented.
In this article, the attention is paid to Fourier, wavelet and Radon transforms. A short description of them is given. Their application in signal processing especially for repairing sound and reconstructing image is outlined together with several simple examples.
Using the interplay among three simple exchange games, one may give a satisfactory representation of a conservative economic system where total wealth and number of agents do not change in time. With these games it is possible to investigate the emergence of statistical equilibrium in a simple pure-exchange environment. The exchange dynamics is composed of three mechanisms: a decentralized interaction, which mimics the pair-wise exchange of wealth between two economic agents, a failure mechanism,...
