A complex from linear elasticity

Eastwood, Michael (2000)

Proceedings of the 19th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

Introduction: This article will present just one example of a general construction known as the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand (BGG) resolution. It was the motivating example from two lectures on the BGG resolution given at the 19th Czech Winter School on Geometry and Physics held in Srní in January 1999. This article may be seen as a technical example to go with a more elementary introduction which will appear elsewhere [M. Eastwood, Notices Am. Math. Soc. 46, No. 11, 1368-1376 (1999)]. In fact, there...

A curious property of oscillatory FEM solutions of one-dimensional convection-diffusion problems

Madden, Niall, Stynes, Martin (2012)

Applications of Mathematics 2012

Song, Yin and Zhang (Int. J. Numer. Anal. Model. 4: 127-140, 2007) discovered a remarkable property of oscillatory finite element solutions of one-dimensional convection-diffusion problems that leads to a novel numerical method for the solution of such problems. In the present paper this property is described using several figures, then a simple proof of the phenomenon is given which is much more intuitive than the technical analysis of Song et al.

A direct solver for finite element matrices requiring O ( N log N ) memory places

Vejchodský, Tomáš (2013)

Applications of Mathematics 2013

We present a method that in certain sense stores the inverse of the stiffness matrix in O ( N log N ) memory places, where N is the number of degrees of freedom and hence the matrix size. The setup of this storage format requires O ( N 3 / 2 ) arithmetic operations. However, once the setup is done, the multiplication of the inverse matrix and a vector can be performed with O ( N log N ) operations. This approach applies to the first order finite element discretization of linear elliptic and parabolic problems in triangular domains,...

A K-theoretic approach to Chern-Cheeger-Simons invariants

Pekonen, Osmo (1993)

Proceedings of the Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

The aim of this paper is to construct a natural mapping C ˇ k , k = 1 , 2 , 3 , , from the multiplicative K -theory K ( X ) of a differential manifold X , associated to the trivial filtration of the de Rham complex, as defined by M. Karoubi in [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 302, 321-324 (1986; Zbl 0593.55004)] to the odd cohomology H s 2 k - 1 ( X ; C * ) . By using this mapping, the author associates to any flat complex vector bundle E on X characteristic classes C ˇ k ( E ) H d R 2 k - 1 ( X ; C * ) analogous to the classes studied by S. Chern, J. Cheeger and J. Simons in [Differential...

A Language Engineering Architecture for Processing Informal Mathematical Discourse

Wolska, Magdalena (2008)

Towards Digital Mathematics Library. Birmingham, United Kingdom, July 27th, 2008

We present a modular architecture for processing informal mathematical language as found in textbooks and mathematical publications. We point at its properties relevant in addressing three aspects of informal mathematical discourse: (i) the interleaved symbolic and natural language, (ii) the linguistic, domain, and notational context, and (iii) the imprecision of the informal language. The objective in the modular approach is to enable parameterisation of the system with respect to the natural language...
