Galerkin Approximations for the Two Point Boundary Problem Using Continuous, Piecewise Polynomial Spaces.
This paper is concerned with an extension and reinterpretation of previous results on the variational characterization of eigenvalues in gaps of the essential spectrum of self-adjoint operators. We state two general abstract results on the existence of eigenvalues in the gap and a continuation principle. Then these results are applied to Dirac operators in order to characterize simultaneously eigenvalues corresponding to electronic and positronic bound states.
The paper deals with some new methods for the numerical solution of initial value problems for ordinary differential equations. The main idea of these methods consists in the fact that in one step of the method a group of unknown values of the approximate solution is computed simultaneously. The class of methods under investigation is wide enough to contain almost all known classical methods. Sufficient conditions for convergence are found.
In this paper, we consider C1,1 Hamiltonian systems. We prove the existence of a first derivative of the flow with respect to initial values and show that it satisfies the symplecticity condition almost everywhere in the phase-space. In a second step, we present a geometric integrator for such systems (called the SDH method) based on B-splines interpolation and a splitting method introduced by McLachlan and Quispel [Appl. Numer. Math. 45 (2003) 411–418], and we prove it is convergent, and that...
In this paper Zadunaisky's technique is used to estimate the global error propagated in the numerical solution of the system of retarded differential equations by Euler's method. Some numerical examples are given.
