Usage of modular scissors in the implementation of FEM

Frydrych, Dalibor (2010)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

Finite Element Method (FEM) is often perceived as a unique and compact programming subject. Despite the fact that many FEM implementations mention the Object Oriented Approach (OOA), this approach is used completely, only in minority of cases in most real-life situations. For example, one of building stones of OOA, the interface-based polymorphism, is used only rarely. This article is focusing on the design reuse and at the same time it gives a complex view on FEM. The article defines basic principles...

Using a graph grammar system in the finite element method

Barbara Strug, Anna Paszyńska, Maciej Paszyński, Ewa Grabska (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The paper presents a system of Composite Graph Grammars (CGGs) modelling adaptive two dimensional hp Finite Element Method (hp-FEM) algorithms with rectangular finite elements. A computational mesh is represented by a composite graph. The operations performed over the mesh are defined by the graph grammar rules. The CGG system contains different graph grammars defining different kinds of rules of mesh transformations. These grammars allow one to generate the initial mesh, assign values to element...

Using Inside-Outside Algorithm for Estimation of the Offspring Distribution in Multitype Branching Processes

Daskalova, Nina (2010)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Multitype branching processes (MTBP) model branching structures, where the nodes of the resulting tree are particles of different types. Usually such a process is not observable in the sense of the whole tree, but only as the “generation” at a given moment in time, which consists of the number of particles of every type. This requires an EM-type algorithm to obtain a maximum likelihood (ML) estimate of the parameters of the branching process. Using a version of the inside-outside algorithm for stochastic context-free...

Using Monte Carlo Methods to Evaluate Sub-Optimal Exercise Policies for American Options

Alobaidi, Ghada, Mallier, Roland (2002)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

∗This research, which was funded by a grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, formed part of G.A.’s Ph.D. thesis [1].In this paper we use a Monte Carlo scheme to find the returns that an uninformed investor might expect from an American option if he followed one of several näıve exercise strategies rather than the optimal exercise strategy. We consider several such strategies that an ill-advised investor might follow. We also consider how the expected return...

Using successive approximations for improving the convergence of GMRES method

Jan Zítko (1998)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, our attention is concentrated on the GMRES method for the solution of the system ( I - T ) x = b of linear algebraic equations with a nonsymmetric matrix. We perform m pre-iterations y l + 1 = T y l + b before starting GMRES and put y m for the initial approximation in GMRES. We derive an upper estimate for the norm of the error vector in dependence on the m th powers of eigenvalues of the matrix T . Further we study under what eigenvalues lay-out this upper estimate is the best one. The estimate shows and numerical...

Uso del estadístico Dn de Kolmogorov-Smirnov en inferencia paramétrica.

Angel Felipe Ortega (1988)

Trabajos de Estadística

Se estudia un método de estimación paramétrica basado en la minimización del estadístico Dn de Kolmogorov-Smirnov. Se prueba la existencia y unicidad de este estimador en familias de distribuciones monótonas en alguno de sus parámetros y se compara computacionalmente con el método de máxima verosimilitud.
