An iterative Clough-Tocher interpolant
We survey recent developments in operator theory and moment problems, beginning with the study of quadratic hyponormality for unilateral weighted shifts, its connections with truncated Hamburger, Stieltjes, Hausdorff and Toeplitz moment problems, and the subsequent proof that polynomially hyponormal operators need not be subnormal. We present a general elementary approach to truncated moment problems in one or several real or complex variables, based on matrix positivity and extension. Together...
This paper studies the gradient flow of a regularized Mumford-Shah functional proposed by Ambrosio and Tortorelli (1990, 1992) for image segmentation, and adopted by Esedoglu and Shen (2002) for image inpainting. It is shown that the gradient flow with initial data possesses a global weak solution, and it has a unique global in time strong solution, which has at most finite number of point singularities in the space-time, when the initial data are in . A family of fully discrete approximation...
This paper studies the gradient flow of a regularized Mumford-Shah functional proposed by Ambrosio and Tortorelli (1990, 1992) for image segmentation, and adopted by Esedoglu and Shen (2002) for image inpainting. It is shown that the gradient flow with L2 x L∞ initial data possesses a global weak solution, and it has a unique global in time strong solution, which has at most finite number of point singularities in the space-time, when the initial data are in H1 x H1 ∩ L∞. A family of fully...
We develop a new technique which, for the given smooth function, generates the anisotropic triangular grid and the corresponding polynomial approximation degrees based on the minimization of the interpolation error in the broken -seminorm. This technique can be employed for the numerical solution of boundary value problems with the aid of finite element methods. We present the theoretical background of this approach and show several numerical examples demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed...
We prove anisotropic interpolation error estimates for quadrilateral and hexahedral elements with all possible shape function spaces, which cover the intermediate families, tensor product families and serendipity families. Moreover, we show that the anisotropic interpolation error estimates hold for derivatives of any order. This goal is accomplished by investigating an interpolation defined via orthogonal expansions.
A method for solving the inverse kinematic problem of determining the velocity characteristic of a medium from a vertical seismic survey, is proposed. It is based on the combined use of the eikonal equation and spline methods of approximation for multivariable functions. The problem is solved by assuming a horizontally stratified medium; no assumptions about the number of layers and their thickness are made. First, using the data of the first arrival times of the seismic signal from several shotpoints,...
We propose an adaptation of the partitioning method for determination of the Moore-Penrose inverse of a matrix augmented by a block-column matrix. A simplified implementation of the partitioning method on specific Toeplitz matrices is obtained. The idea for observing this type of Toeplitz matrices lies in the fact that they appear in the linear motion blur models in which blurring matrices (representing the convolution kernels) are known in advance. The advantage of the introduced method is a significant...
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.
