On the Convergence of Interpolating Periodic Spline Functions of High Degree.
This paper is concerned with the analysis of the finite element method for the numerical solution of an elliptic boundary value problem with a nonlinear Newton boundary condition in a two-dimensional polygonal domain. The weak solution loses regularity in a neighbourhood of boundary singularities, which may be at corners or at roots of the weak solution on edges. The main attention is paid to the study of error estimates. It turns out that the order of convergence is not dampened by the nonlinearity...
In the present paper we describe, how to use the Galerkin-method efficiently in solving boundary integral equations. In the first part we show how the elements of the system matrix can be computed in a reasonable time by using suitable coordinate transformations. These techniques can be applied to a wide class of integral equations (including hypersingular kernels) on piecewise smooth surfaces in 3-D, approximated by spline functions of arbitrary degree. In the second part we show, how to use the...
We describe several algorithms for the generation of integer Heronian triangles with diameter at most n. Two of them have running time O(n^(2+ε)). We enumerate all integer Heronian triangles for n ≤ 600000 and apply the complete list on some related problems.
We propose a weak formulation for the binormal curvature flow of curves in . This formulation is sufficiently broad to consider integral currents as initial data, and sufficiently strong for the weak-strong uniqueness property to hold, as long as self-intersections do not occur. We also prove a global existence theorem in that framework.
The design of an experiment, e.g., the setting of initial conditions, strongly influences the accuracy of the process of determining model parameters from data. The key concept relies on the analysis of the sensitivity of the measured output with respect to the model parameters. Based on this approach we optimize an experimental design factor, the initial condition for an inverse problem of a model parameter estimation. Our approach, although case independent, is illustrated at the FRAP (Fluorescence...
We study the complexity of Banach space valued integration in the randomized setting. We are concerned with r times continuously differentiable functions on the d-dimensional unit cube Q, with values in a Banach space X, and investigate the relation of the optimal convergence rate to the geometry of X. It turns out that the nth minimal errors are bounded by if and only if X is of equal norm type p.
