N -widths for singularly perturbed problems

Martin Stynes, R. Bruce Kellogg (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

Kolmogorov N -widths are an approximation theory concept that, for a given problem, yields information about the optimal rate of convergence attainable by any numerical method applied to that problem. We survey sharp bounds recently obtained for the N -widths of certain singularly perturbed convection-diffusion and reaction-diffusion boundary value problems.

Natural and smoothing quadratic spline. (An elementary approach)

Jiří Kobza, Dušan Zápalka (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

For quadratic spine interpolating local integrals (mean-values) on a given mesh the conditions of existence and uniqueness, construction under various boundary conditions and other properties are studied. The extremal property of such's spline allows us to present an elementary construction and an algorithm for computing needed parameters of such quadratic spline smoothing given mean-values. Examples are given illustrating the results.

Near-exact distributions for the generalized Wilks Lambda statistic

Luís M. Grilo, Carlos A. Coelho (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Two near-exact distributions for the generalized Wilks Lambda statistic, used to test the independence of several sets of variables with a multivariate normal distribution, are developed for the case where two or more of these sets have an odd number of variables. Using the concept of near-exact distribution and based on a factorization of the exact characteristic function we obtain two approximations, which are very close to the exact distribution but far more manageable. These near-exact distributions...

Nearly optimal convergence result for multigrid with aggressive coarsening and polynomial smoothing

Petr Vaněk, Marian Brezina (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

We analyze a general multigrid method with aggressive coarsening and polynomial smoothing. We use a special polynomial smoother that originates in the context of the smoothed aggregation method. Assuming the degree of the smoothing polynomial is, on each level k , at least C h k + 1 / h k , we prove a convergence result independent of h k + 1 / h k . The suggested smoother is cheaper than the overlapping Schwarz method that allows to prove the same result. Moreover, unlike in the case of the overlapping Schwarz method, analysis...

Necessary conditions for uniform convergence of finite difference schemes for convection-diffusion problems with exponential and parabolic layers

Hans-Görg Roos, Martin Stynes (1996)

Applications of Mathematics

Singularly perturbed problems of convection-diffusion type cannot be solved numerically in a completely satisfactory manner by standard numerical methods. This indicates the need for robust or ϵ -uniform methods. In this paper we derive new conditions for such schemes with special emphasize to parabolic layers.
