Sabinin‘s method for classification of local Bol loops
A Fourier approximation method is used for modeling and simulation of fully nonlinear steady waves. The set of resulting nonlinear equations are solved by Newton's method. The shoaling of waves is simulated based on comparisons with experimental data. The wave heights and the angles of breaking are analysed until the limit of inadequacy of the numerical method. The results appear quite close to those criteria predicted by the theory of completely nonlinear surface waves and contribute to provide...
The digitization of papers born in the print-only era is vital for the health of the mathematical record. Many large scale retrodigitization projects are underway and, at this point, probably more that half of the mathematical history has been finished. Many smaller journals and books remain to be done. This paper gives a framework within which these may also be completed. It uses the digitization of the Canadian Journal of Mathematics (53,000 pages), completed as a one-man project over a few months,...
In the contribution, we are concerned with the exact interpolation of the data at nodes given and also with the smoothness of the interpolating curve and its derivatives. This task is called the problem of smooth approximation of data. The interpolating curve or surface is defined as the solution of a variational problem with constraints. We discuss the proper choice of basis systems for this way of approximation and present the results of several 1D numerical examples that show the quality of smooth...
