An algorithm for biparabolic spline

Jiří Kobza (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper deals with the computation of suitably chosen parameters of a biparabolic spline (ot the tensor product type) on a rectangular domain. Some possibilities of choosing such local parameters (concentrated, dispersed parameters) are discussed. The algorithms for computation of dispersed parameters (using the first derivative representation) and concentraced parameters (using the second derivative representation) are given. Both these algorithms repeatedly use the one-dimensional algorithms....

«Approximate approximations» and the cubature of potentials

Gunther Schmidt (1995)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

The paper discusses new cubature formulas for classical integral operators of mathematical physics based on the «approximate approximation» of the density with Gaussian and related functions. We derive formulas for the cubature of harmonic, elastic and diffraction potentials approximating with high order in some range relevant for numerical computations. We prove error estimates and provide numerical results for the Newton potential.

Approximate smoothings of locally Lipschitz functionals

Aleksander Ćwiszewski, Wojciech Kryszewski (2002)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

The paper deals with approximation of locally Lipschitz functionals. A concept of approximation, based on the idea of graph approximation of the generalized gradient, is discussed and the existence of such approximations for locally Lipschitz functionals, defined on open domains in R N , is proved. Subsequently, the procedure of a smooth normal approximation of the class of regular sets (containing e.g. convex and/or epi-Lipschitz sets) is presented.

Best N-term approximation in electronic structure calculations. II. Jastrow factors

Heinz-Jürgen Flad, Wolfgang Hackbusch, Reinhold Schneider (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present a novel application of best N-term approximation theory in the framework of electronic structure calculations. The paper focusses on the description of electron correlations within a Jastrow-type ansatz for the wavefunction. As a starting point we discuss certain natural assumptions on the asymptotic behaviour of two-particle correlation functions ( 2 ) near electron-electron and electron-nuclear cusps. Based on Nitsche's characterization of best N-term approximation spaces A q α ( H 1 ) , we prove...
