Boundary Lagrange multipliers in finite element methods: error analysis in natural forms.
We consider space semi-discretizations of the 1-d wave equation in a bounded interval with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We analyze the problem of boundary observability, i.e., the problem of whether the total energy of solutions can be estimated uniformly in terms of the energy concentrated on the boundary as the net-spacing h → 0. We prove that, due to the spurious modes that the numerical scheme introduces at high frequencies, there is no such a uniform bound. We prove however a...
Algorithms for finding an approximate solution of boundary value problems for systems of functional ordinary differential equations are studied. Sufficient conditions for consistency and convergence of these methods are given. In the last section, a construction of methods of arbitrary order is presented.
This paper uses the Rice method [18] to give bounds to the distribution of the maximum of a smooth stationary Gaussian process. We give simpler expressions of the first two terms of the Rice series [3,13] for the distribution of the maximum. Our main contribution is a simpler form of the second factorial moment of the number of upcrossings which is in some sense a generalization of Steinberg et al.'s formula ([7] p. 212). Then, we present a numerical application and asymptotic expansions...
This paper is concerned with bounds of eigenvalues of a complex matrix. Both lower and upper bounds of modulus of eigenvalues are given by the Stein equation. Furthermore, two sequences are presented which converge to the minimal and the maximal modulus of eigenvalues, respectively. We have to point out that the two sequences are not recommendable for practical use for finding the minimal and the maximal modulus of eigenvalues.
An algorithm for the calculation of a lower bound of the absolute values of the roots of a real algebraic polynomial, of an arbitrary degree, is derived. An example is given to compare the bounds calculated by the method proposed and by other methods.
