This paper is dealing with solvability of interval systems of linear equations in max-min algebra. Max-min algebra is the algebraic structure in which classical addition and multiplication are replaced by $\oplus$ and $\otimes$, where $a\oplus b=max\{a,b\},a\otimes b=min\{a,b\}$. The notation $𝔸\otimes x=𝕓$ represents an interval system of linear equations, where $𝔸=[\underline{A},\overline{A}]$ and $𝕓=[\underline{b},\overline{b}]$ are given interval matrix and interval vector, respectively. We can define several types of solvability of interval systems. In this paper, we define the T4 and T5 solvability and give necessary and...

In this paper we give an iterative method to compute the principal n-th root and the principal inverse n-th root of a given matrix. As we shall show this method is locally convergent. This method is analyzed and its numerical stability is investigated.

To improve the performance of the L-BFGS method for large scale unconstrained optimization, repeating of some BFGS updates was proposed e.g. in [1]. Since this can be time consuming, the extra updates need to be selected carefully. We show that groups of these updates can be repeated infinitely many times under some conditions, without a noticeable increase of the computational time; the limit update is a block BFGS update [17]. It can be obtained by solving of some Lyapunov matrix equation whose...

Cohen, Dahmen and DeVore designed in [Adaptive wavelet methods for elliptic operator equations: convergence rates, Math. Comp., 2001, 70(233), 27–75] and [Adaptive wavelet methods II¶beyond the elliptic case, Found. Comput. Math., 2002, 2(3), 203–245] a general concept for solving operator equations. Its essential steps are: transformation of the variational formulation into the well-conditioned infinite-dimensional l 2-problem, finding the convergent iteration process for the l 2-problem and finally...

In the non-normal case, it is possible to use various look-ahead strategies for computing the elements of a family of regular orthogonal polynomials. These strategies consist in jumping over non-existing and singular orthogonal polynomials by solving triangular linear systems. We show how to avoid them by using a new method called ALA (Avoiding Look-Ahead), for which we give three principal implementations. The application of ALA to Padé approximation, extrapolation methods and Lanczos method for...
