    Notes: We analyse the time decay of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the linear hyperbolic system of elasticity for anisotropic media. As an example, we will consider media with hexagonal symmetry. First we derive decay estimates for special initial data using the method of stationary phase in several variables and degenerate phase function based on the Malgrange preparation theorem. Asymptotic expansions are given to prove the sharpness of the weaker time decay found for zinc and beryl than in the isotropic case. A method using Besov spaces leads to Lp-Lq-estimates.

    Notes: The mixed-Neumann problem for the non-linear wave equation □u-a(u)(∣∂tu)∣2-∣∇u∣2 = fε(z) is studied. The function fε(z) = ∑k∊Kfk(z,ε-1φk(z),ε), ε∊[0,1], K is finite, fk(z,θk,ε) are 2π-periodic with respect to θk. The existence of solution uε on a domain z = (t,x,y)∊[0,T]×∝+×∝d, d = 1 or 2, is proved when ε is sufficiently small; T does not depend on ε. By the non-linear geometric optics method the asymptotic (with respect to ε→0) solution ũ ε is constructed. The estimation for the rest ε2rε = uε-ũε is derived and the limit rε, ε→0, is studied.

    Notes: This paper analyses the Child-Langmuir asymptotics of the Vlasov-Poisson problem in cylindrical or spherical symmetry. The problem was stated in the first part of this paper [2]. We recall that the Child-Langmuir asymptotics concerns the boundary value problem for the Vlasov-Poisson system in the situation where the thermal energy of the injected particles at the boundary is small compared with the external applied bias.In the first part, we derived the set of estimates which allow us to pass to the limit in the asymptotic problem. In the present part, we analyse the limit (or ‘reduced’) problem, which leads us to a characterization of the limit or ‘Child-Langmuir’ current which flows through the system.

    Notes: The Lyapunov stability is analysed for a class of integro-differential equations with unbounded operator coefficients. These equations arise in the study of non-conservative stability problems for viscoelastic thin-walled elements of structures. Some sufficient stability conditions are derived by using the direct Lyapunov method. These conditions are formulated for arbitrary kernels of the Volterra integral operator in terms of norms of the operator coefficients. Employing these conditions the supersonic flutter of a viscoelastic panel is studied and explicit expressions for the critical gas velocity are derived. Dependence of the critical flow velocity on the material characteristics and compressive load is analysed numerically.

    Notes: We use the implicit function theorem to prove an existence of a heteroclinic orbit to a system of two non-linear second-order ODEs. The perturbation is carried out around infinite value of a ‘coupling parameter’. The form of the system which is considered in this paper is related to the system defining travelling wave solutions in a two temperature model of the laser sustained plasma.

    Notes: We consider a non-linear plate equation of Bernoulli-Euler type with a locally distributed damping term. Our main result asserts that if the damping is effective in a neighbourhood of the boundary then the energy decays exponentially. The method we use is a combination of multiplier techniques and of a compactness-uniqueness argument.

    Notes: A systematic way of ascribing values to integrals which diverge at infinity is described. For integrals with algebraic or logarithmic behaviour it is akin to Hadamard's finite part for integrands which have singularities at finite points. The power of the method is illustrated by examples of particular integrals and the convolution of distributions which are beyond the range of standard theory. Both one-dimensional and multi-dimensional integrals are included. The theory also enables the definition of products of distributions which are considered normally to be too singular for multiplication.

It is shown that for several types of domain there exists a critical exponent such that all of positive solutions blow up in a finite time in subcritical case (including the critical case) while there exist positive global solutions in the supercritical case if initial data are small.

More generally, for a linear differential operator A(y,∂), the equation A(y,∂)u = (-1)∣γ∣∂γf(y,∂γu), y = (t,x)∊∝k×G is studied, where homogeneous boundary conditions on ∂G and periodicity conditions on t are imposed. The solutions are obtained by variational methods in anisotropic Sobolev spaces.

    Notes: The quasi-hydrodynamic carrier transport equations for semiconductors extended to Fermi-Dirac statistics are considered. It is shown that in the high injection case, these equations reduce to a drift-diffusion model with non-linear diffusion terms. The limiting procedure is proved rigorously and error estimates are shown. We compute numerically static voltage-current characteristics of a forward biased pn-junction diode and compare the curves with the corresponding characteristics obtained from the standard drift-diffusion model based on Boltzmann statistics. It turns out that there exists a so-called threshold voltage at which the behaviour of the characteristic changes. Under high injection conditions, the dependence of the current on the bias appears to be approximately polynomial. The characteristics are studied analytically for a unipolar device.

By means of potential theory, existence, uniqueness and regularity results for weak solutions are proved in weighted Sobolev spaces with weights proportional to ∣x∣δ as ∣x∣→∞. For f = 0,g = 0, explicit decay formulas are obtained for the solutions u and p. Finally, the results are compared with the theory of r-generalized solutions, i.e. ∇u∊Lr.

    Notes: We study (a) acoustic waves generated by a time-harmonic force distribution and (b) the potential flow with prescribed velocity at infinity in an infinite cylinder Ω0 = Ω′×∝ with bounded cross-section Ω′⊂∝2 in the presence of m embedded obstacles B1,…,Bm. By using Green's function Gκ(x,y) of the Neumann problem for the reduced wave equation ΔU+κ2U = 0 in the unperturbed domain Ω0, both problems can be reduced to integral equations over the boundaries of the obstacles. The main properties of Gκ(x,y), which are required for this approach, are derived in the first part of this paper.

    Notes: The equations of the Hopfield network, without the constraint of symmetry, can have complex behaviours. Cottet borrowed techniques from particle methods to show that a class of such networks with symmetric, translation-invariant connection matrices may be approximated by a reaction-diffusion equation. This idea is extended to a wider class of network connections yielding a slightly more complex reaction-diffusion equation. It is also shown that the approximation holds rigorously only in certain spatial regions (even for Cottet's special case) but the small regions where it fails, namely within transition layers between regions of high and low activity, are not likely to be critical.

    Notes: We consider the self-adjoint operator governing the propagation of elastic waves in perturbed stratified media ∝3 with free boundary-interface conditions. In this paper we establish the limiting absorption principle for this self-adjoint operator in appropriate Hilbert space. The proof of the limiting absorption principle is based on the division theorem which is proved by means of eigenfunction expansions for the self-adjoint operator governing the propagation of elastic waves in unperturbed stratified media ∝3.

    Notes: We study initial and boundary value problems for the wave equation ∂2tu-Δu = fe-iωt with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary data in smooth domains Ω, which coincide with Ω0 = ∝2×(0,1) outside a sufficiently large sphere. The concept of a standing wave, introduced in [7], seems to be of special relevance. A standing wave of frequency ω is defined as a non-trivial solution U of the equation ΔU+ω2U = 0 in Ω, which satisfies on ∂Ω the prescribed boundary condition U = 0 or ∂U/∂n = 0, respectively, and a suitable condition at infinity. For instance, U(x) = sinπkx3 is a standing wave of frequency πk in the unperturbed domain Ω0 with Dirichlet boundary data. As shown in a series of joint papers with K. Morgenröther, u(x,t) is bounded as t→∞ if Ω does not admit standing waves of frequency ω. The main purpose of the present paper is the proof of the converse statement: If standing waves of frequency ω exist in Ω, then u(x,t) is unbounded as t→∞ for suitably chosen f∊C∞0(Ω). Thus the appearance of resonances is closely related to the presence of standing waves. The leading term of the asymptotic expansion of u(x,t) as t→∞ will be specified. In particular, it turns out that the resonance rate is either t or ln t. The rate t appears if and only if ω2 is an eigenvalue of the spatial operator, while the rate ln t can only occur if ω = πk. In the case of Neumann boundary data, U = 1 is a standing wave of frequency 0 for every local perturbation Ω of Ω0. The corresponding resonance has already been studied in [21].

    Notes: Van Roosbroeck's bipolar drift diffusion equations cover the qualitative behaviour of many semiconductor devices. The complexity of the model equations however prevents efficient implementations needed in circuit simulations. Under close-to-thermal-equilibrium biasing conditions (zero space charge assumption, low injection limit) the van Roosbroeck system can be replaced by a system of coupled non-linear Volterra integral equations of the second kind. Involving only the macroscopic quantities current, applied voltage and serial resistance this Volterra system can be handled with comparably little effort. Volterra integral equations models are formulated for a large class of semiconductor devices with abrupt pn-junctions. The model equations are made explicit for diodes, transistors and thyristors. A survey on various results concerning Volterra models describing the switching behaviour of pn-diodes is given. The integral equation model allows to recover all relevant properties of the voltage-current characteristics.

    Notes: We consider the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation in a non-locally perturbed half-plane, this problem arising in electromagnetic scattering by one-dimensional rough, perfectly conducting surfaces. We propose a new boundary integral equation formulation for this problem, utilizing the Green's function for an impedance half-plane in place of the standard fundamental solution. We show, at least for surfaces not differing too much from the flat boundary, that the integral equation is uniquely solvable in the space of bounded and continuous functions, and hence that, for a variety of incident fields including an incident plane wave, the boundary value problem for the scattered field has a unique solution satisfying the limiting absorption principle. Finally, a result of continuous dependence of the solution on the boundary shape is obtained.

We then show smoothness of u on the set {x∊Ω: Eu≠0}.

    Notes: In this paper, we study an initial-boundary value problem for a system of phase-field equations arising from the Penrose-Fife approach to model the kinetics of phase transitions. In contrast to other recent works in the field, the correct form of the boundary condition for the temperature field is assumed which leads to additional difficulties in the mathematical treatment. It is demonstrated that global existence of strong solutions can be shown under essentially the same assumptions on the data as in the previous papers where a simplified boundary condition for the heat exchange with the surrounding medium has been used.

    Notes: A numerical technique for determining the solution of the brachistochrone problem is presented. The brachistochrone problem is first formulated as a non-linear optimal control problem. Using Chebyshev nodes, we construct the Mth degree polynomial interpolation to approximate the state and the control variables. Application of this method results in the transformation of differential and integral expressions into some non-linear algebraic equations to which Newton-type methods can be applied. Simulation studies demonstrate computational advantages relative to existing methods in the literature.

    Notes: In this paper, following the ideas of Lax, we prove a blow-up result for a class of solutions of the equation φtt-φxx-φ2xφxx-φ3 = 0, corresponding, in certain cases, to the development of a singularity in the second derivatives of φ. These solutions solve locally (in time) the Cauchy problem for smooth initial data belonging to the uniformly local Sobolev spaces considered by Kato and by Majda.

    Notes: We study the Stokes system with non-homogeneous Fourier boundary conditions depending on a parameter, in a domain with periodic inclusions of the size of the period. Following the values of this parameter, we obtain at the limit a Darcy's law, a Brinkmann type equation or a Stokes type equation.We also present a physical model to which the results apply. This model describes the flow of an incompressible viscous fluid through a porous medium under the action of an exterior electric field.

    Notes: The three-dimensional mathematical problems of the interaction of an elastic and some scalar fields are investigated. It is assumed that the elastic structure under consideration is a bounded homogeneous anisotropic body occupying domain Ω¯+⊂∝3 and the physical scalar field is defined in the exterior domain Ω- = ∝3\Ω+. These two fields satisfy the governing equations in the corresponding domains together with the transmission conditions on the interface ∂Ω+. The problems are studied by the potential method and the existence and uniqueness theorems are proved.

    Notes: This paper is concerned with the effective numerical treatment of elliptic boundary value problems when the solutions contain singularities. The paper deals first with the theory of problems of this type in the context of weighted Sobolev spaces and covers problems in domains with conical vertices and non-intersecting edges, as well as polyhedral domains with Lipschitz boundaries. Finite element schemes on graded meshes for second-order problems in polygonal/polyhedral domains are then proposed for problems with the above singularities. These schemes exhibit optimal convergence rates with decreasing mesh size. Finally, we describe numerical experiments which demonstrate the efficiency of our technique in terms of ‘actual’ errors for specific (finite) mesh sizes in addition to the asymptotic rates of convergence.

    Notes: It is shown that the non-linear coagulation-fragmentation equation with constant kernels has a unique equilibrium solution. This equilibrium solution is given explicitly in terms of the initial data and the kernels. Weak L1 convergence of time-dependent solutions to the unique equilibrium is demonstrated via an invariance principle employing a suitable lower semicontinuous Lyapunov functional.

For the cases of one, two, and three space dimensions local in time existence and uniqueness of a solution is proved. We show that for discontinuous initial perturbations this solution is infinitely differentiable with respect to time t and space co-ordinates for t〉0 on a bounded time interval.

    Notes: The albedo and scattering operators are central objects in the time-dependent transport theory. Their mutual relationship has recently been established by Arianfar and Emamirad for the case of transparent boundaries. In this paper, we extend the result to general boundary conditions. To allow for this extension, the scattering theory for a transport-like equation is generalized to include partially reflecting boundary conditions. The existence of the wave and scattering operators is directly inferred from the properties of the evolution operators that are determined, in turn, by the physics of collisions within and at the boundaries of the scattering domain.

This approach is based on a recent version of the metaharmonic quaternionic analysis developed in [14-16]. In particular, the following problem is studied: when and how a given function on a surface can be extended to a time-harmonic spinor field.

    Notes: In this paper we generalize the abstract results of Mock and Marcowich [13, 12] for convergence of discrete Van Roosbroeck systems [12, 13, 17], to the case when the solutions are typically in W1,4-ε and not in H2. These conditions are verified on finite element discretizations. Error estimates are derived when the solution is unique. Due to the singularity at the flat angles, these estimates in the H1 norm are only O(h1/2). The techniques that are presented are broad and may be applied to other type of discretizations.

    Notes: In this paper we employ concepts from Banach space geometry in order to examine the problem of approximating the optimal distributed control of vibrating media whose motion is governed by a wave equation with a 2n-order self-adjoint and positive-definite linear differential operator. We show that this geometrical approach, arrived at via duality theory, provides the exact framework in which the approximation problem must be placed in order to get the correct convergence results, for it is here that the necessary and sufficient conditions for the approximate norm or time minimal control can be fully developed. Using the theory of Asplund, we are also able to improve the traditional weak* convergence results for the more difficult case of L∞ controls. Finally, we consider certain numerical examples which help illustrate our theoretical results.

    Notes: The Child-Langmuir asymptotics of the Vlasov-Poisson system provides a model for vacuum diodes which operate under large biases. In these conditions the energy of the injected particles at the cathode is very small compared with the applied external bias. From the mathematical view point, this leads to an interesting and non-standard asymptotic problem for the Vlasov-Poisson equation, which has already been investigated in the one-dimensional Cartesian case, in [7]. The purpose of this paper is to extend the analysis to the cylindrically or spherically symmetric case. Surprisingly, the behaviour of the solutions of the model is somehow different than in the Cartesian case. This feature had not been noticed by the physicists before. Furthermore, the mathematical analysis is much more involved than in [7] because of the geometrical effects, and the techniques that are used are quite different. They mainly rely on the use of supersolutions in the spirit of [18, 19]. This work is divided in two parts. In this first part, we state the problem and establish the basic estimates which are needed for the asymptotic analysis.

    Notes: In the first section of this paper, some non-local boundary value problem for the polyharmonic equation in the plane is considered. This problem consists in determining solution of the polyharmonic equation satisfying some special non-local-type boundary condition on two curves. The existence theorem is proved. In the second section, an example for the case of the biharmonic equation is considered. In the third section, some non-local, non-linear problem of Riquier type is examined. The Riquier-type problem consists in determining the polyharmonic function in the plane whose value together with its successive Laplacians are prescribed on the boundary. The existence theorem is proved and an example for the case of the biharmonic equation is considered.

    Notes: The paper deals with the Fourier-finite-element method (FFEM), which combines the approximate Fourier method with the finite-element method, and its application to Poisson-like equations -p̂Δ3û = f̂ in three-dimensional axisymmetric domains Ω^. Here, p^ is a piecewise constant coefficient having a jump at some axisymmetric interface. Special emphasis is given to estimates of the Fourier-finite-element error in the Sobolev space H1(Ω^), if the interface is smooth or if it meets the boundary of Ω^ at some edge. In general, the solution û contains a singularity at the interface, which is described by a tensor product representation and treated numerically by appropriate mesh grading in the meridian plane of Ω^. The rate of convergence of the combined approximation in H1(Ω^) is proved to be O(h+N-1) (h, N: the parameters of the finite-element- and Fourier-approximation, with h→0, N→∞). The theoretical results are confirmed by numerical experiments.

    Notes: In this paper we provide a theory of the asymptotic expansion for an abstract kinetic equation. We show that the modified Chapman-Enskog procedure, introduced in [19], gives the error of order of ε2, uniformly in time, on the second level of approximation and in particular that the zeroth moment of the solution (the spatial density of particles) can be approximated by the solution of the diffusion-type equation with the same accuracy. The theory is applied to several types of kinetic equations with the Fokker-Planck collision operator.

This paper relates the study and the computation of any such size function to the structure of critical points of the associated measuring function.

    Notes: We consider the system of elastic waves in three dimensions under the presence of an impurity of the medium which we represent by a real-valued function q(x) (or q(x,t)). The medium is assumed to be isotropic and occupies the whole space Ω = ∝3. We study the location of the scattering frequencies associated with such phenomenon. We conclude that there is a large region on the complex plane which is free of scattering frequencies. In the remaining region they are discrete provided that q satisfies suitable assumptions concerning its behaviour at infinity.

    Notes: We consider parabolic systems defined on cylindrical domains close to the threshold of instability, in which the Fourier modes with positive growth rates are concentrated at a non-zero critical wave number. In particular, we consider systems for which a so-called Ginzburg-Landau equation can be derived. Due to the presence of continuous spectrum, classical bifurcation theory is not available to describe bifurcating solutions. Thus, we consider a modified system with artificial spectral gap, which possesses an infinite-dimensional centre manifold. The amplitude equation on this manifold is called a generalized Ginzburg-Landau equation. From previous work [18] it is known that the Fourier modes are exponentially concentrated at integer multiples of the critical wave number. Hence, the error made by this modification is exponentially small in powers of the bifurcation parameter. The approximations obtained via the generalized Ginzburg-Landau equation are valid on a much longer time scale than those obtained by using the classical Ginzburg-Landau equation as an amplitude equation.

    Notes: A review of exact solutions of discrete velocity models is given. Different methods of constructing the solutions are discussed. New methods are proposed for the stationary Broadwell model, and new class of solutions is obtained. Two-dimensional flows in channel are studied on the basis of exact solutions and analogy with the Carleman model. Explicit example of non-unique solution to a boundary value problem is given. Exact hydrodynamic equations are derived for the stationary Broadwell model. A role of the Navier-Stokes approximation is discussed in detail by comparison with these exact equations.

    Notes: When one end of an extensible beam whose ends are a fixed distance apart, is hinged while to other end a load is attached, the mathematical model describing the vibrations of the beam contains a non-linearity both in the partial differential equation as well as in the dynamical boundary condition. We introduce weak damping and consider the resulting boundary-value problem within the framework of the theories of B-evolutions and fractional powers of a closed pair of operators. This approach enables us to construct a unique weak solution which exhibits exponential decay by employing Faedo-Galerkin approximations.

    Notes: We give new finite time blow-up results for the non-linear parabolic equations ut-Δu = up and ut-Δu+μ∣∇u∣q = up. We first establish an a priori bound in Lp+1 for the positive non-decreasing global solutions. As a consequence, we prove in particular that for the second equation on ∝N, with q = 2p/(p+1) and small μ〉0, blow-up can occur for any N≥1, p〉1, (N-2)p〈N+2 and without energy restriction on the initial data. Incidentally, we present a simple model in population dynamics involving this equation.

    Notes: The equations of motion for two-dimensional deformations of an incompressible elastoplastic material involve five equations, two equations expressing conservation of momentum, and three constitutive laws, which we take in the rate form, i.e. relating the stress rate to the strain rate. In hypoplasticity, the constitutive laws are homogeneous of degree one in the stress and strain rates. This property has the consequence that although the equations are not in conservation form, there is nonetheless a natural way to characterize planar shock waves. The Riemann problem is the initial value problem for plane waves, in which the initial data for stress and velocity consist of two constant vectors separated by a single discontinuity. The main result is that, under appropriate assumptions, the Riemann problem has a scale invariant piecewise constant solution. The issue of uniqueness is left unresolved. Indeed, we give an example satisfying the conditions for existence, for which there are many solutions. Using asymptotics, we show how solutions of the Riemann problem are approximated by smooth solutions of a system regularized by the addition of viscous terms that preserve the property of scale invariance.

    Notes: This paper concerns the well-posedness of the hydrodynamic model for semiconductor devices, a quasi-linear elliptic-parbolic-hyperbolic system. Boundary conditions for elliptic and parabolic equations are Dirichlet conditions while boundary conditions for the hyperbolic equations are assumed to be well-posed in L2 sense. Maximally strictly dissipative boundary conditions for the hyperbolic equations satisfy the assumption of well-posedness in L2 sense. The well-posedness of the model under the boundary conditions is demonstrated.

    Notes: We consider saddle-point problems that typically arise from the mixed finite element discretization of second-order elliptic problems. By proper equivalent algebraic operations the considered saddle-point problem is transformed to another saddle-point problem. The resulting problem can then be efficiently preconditioned by a block-diagonal matrix or by a factored block-matrix (the blocks correspond to the velocity and pressure, respectively). Both preconditioners have a block on the main diagonal that corresponds to the bilinear form(δ is a positive parameter) and a second block that is equal to a constant times the identity operator. We derive uniform bounds for the negative and positive eigenvalues of the preconditioned operator. Then any known preconditioner for the above bilinear form can be applied. We also show some numerical experiments that illustrate the convergence properties of the proposed technique.

    Notes: We describe the design and implementation of a parallel QR decomposition algorithm for a large sparse matrix A. The algorithm is based on the multifrontal approach and makes use of Householder transformations. The tasks are distributed among processors according to an assembly tree which is built from the symbolic factorization of the matrix ATA.We first address uniprocessor issues and then discuss the multiprocessor implementation of the method. We consider the parallelization of both the factorization phase and the solve phase. We use relaxation of the sparsity structure of both the original matrix and the frontal matrices to improve the performance. We show that, in this case, the use of Level 3 BLAS can lead to very significant gains in performance. We use the eight processor Alliant˜FX/80 at CERFACS to illustrate our discussion.

    Notes: In this paper a method for fast computations with the inverse to weakly singular, hypersingular and double layer potential boundary integral operators associated with the Laplacian on Lipschitz domains is proposed and analyzed. It is based on the representation formulae suggested for above-mentioned boundary operations in terms of the Poincare-Steklov interface mappings generated by the special decompositions of the interior and exterior domains. Computations with the discrete counterparts of these formulae can be efficiently performed by iterative substructuring algorithms provided some asymptotically optimal techniques for treatment of interface operators on subdomain boundaries. For both two- and three-dimensional cases the computation cost and memory needs are of the order O(N logp N) and O(N log2 N), respectively, with 1 ≤ p ≤ 3, where N is the number of degrees of freedom on the boundary under consideration (some kinds of polygons and polyhedra). The proposed algorithms are well suited for serial and parallel computations.

    Notes: In certain inverse problems it is useful to be able to compute solutions which are, in some sense, as simple as possible. For example,k one may wish to compute solutions which are piecewise constant and with as few discontinuities as possible. Such solutions are suited to describe models, e.g., geological layers, where the coarse structure is more important than the fine structure. A natural generalization of piecewise constant functions is piecewise polynomial solutions. In this paper we present a new algorithm which is capable of computing solutions that are piecewise polynomials, without having to specify a priori the positions of the break points between the polynomial pieces.

    Notes: The incomplete orthogonalization method (IOM(q)), a truncated version of the full orthogonalization method (FOM) proposed by Saad, has been used for solving large unsymmetric linear systems. However, no convergence analysis has been given. In this paper, IOM(q) is analysed in detail from a theoretical point of view. A number of important results are derived showing how the departure of the matrix A from symmetric affects the basis vectors generated by IOM(q), and some relationships between the residuals for IOM(q) and FOM are established. The results show that IOM(q) behaves much like FOM once the basis vectors generated by it are well conditioned. However, it is proved that IOM(q) may generate an ill-conditioned basis for a general unsymmetric matrix such that IOM(q) may fail to converge or at least cannot behave like FOM. Owing to the mathematical equivalence between IOM(q) and the truncated ORTHORES(q) developed by Young and Jea, insights are given into the convergence of the latter. A possible strategy is proposed for choosing the parameter q involved in IOM(q). Numerical experiments are reported to show convergence behaviour of IOM(q) and of its restarted version.

    Notes: The use of block two-stage methods for the iterative solution of consistent singular linear systems is studied. In these methods, suitable for parallel computations, different blocks, i.e., smaller linear systems, can be solved concurrently by different processors. Each of these smaller systems are solved by an (inner) iterative method. Hypotheses are provided for the convergence of non-stationary methods, i.e., when the number of inner iterations may vary from block to block and from one outer iteration to another. It is shown that the iteration matrix corresponding to one step of the block method is convergent, i.e., that its powers converge to a limit matrix. A theorem on the convergence of the infinite product of matrices with the same eigenspace corresponding to the eigenvalue 1 is proved, and later used as a tool in the convergence analysis of the block method. The methods studied can be used to solve any consistent singular system, including discretizations of certain differential equations. They can also be used to find stationary probability distribution of Markov chains. This last application is considered in detail.

    Notes: A new approach for constructing algebraic multilevel preconditioners for mixed finite element methods for second order elliptic problems with tensor coefficients on general geometry is proposed. The linear system arising from the mixed methods is first algebraically condensed to a symmetric, positive definite system for Lagrange multipliers, which corresponds to a linear system generated by standard nonconforming finite element methods. Algebraic multilevel preconditioners for this system are then constructed based on a triangulation of the domain into tetrahedral substructures. Explicit estimates of condition numbers and simple computational schemes are established for the constructed preconditioners. Finally, numerical results for the mixed finite element methods are presented to illustrate the present theory.

    Notes: Preconditioners to nonsymmetric, nondiagonally dominant systems of equations are constructed and examined numerically. The preconditioners are based on a Toeplitz approach with a certain symmetry that we define. The inversion of the preconditioners is defined through a Fast Modified Sine Transform. As a model problem we study the systems of equations arising from a implicit time-discretization with a large time-step of a scalar hyperbolic PDE.

    Notes: In this paper, we propose a method to generalize Strang's circulant preconditioner for arbitrary n-by-n matrices An. The th column of our circulant preconditioner Sn is equal to the th column of the given matrix An. Thus if An is a square Toeplitz matrix, then Sn is just the Strang circulant preconditioner. When Sn is not Hermitian, our circulant preconditioner can be defined as . This construction is similar to the forward-backward projection method used in constructing preconditioners for tomographic inversion problems in medical imaging. We show that if the matrix An has decaying coefficients away from the main diagonal, then is a good preconditioner for An. Comparisons of our preconditioner with other circulant-based preconditioners are carried out for some 1-D Toeplitz least squares problems: min ∥ b - Ax∥2. Preliminary numerical results show that our preconditioner performs quite well, in comparison to other circulant preconditioners. Promising test results are also reported for a 2-D deconvolution problem arising in ground-based atmospheric imaging.

    Notes: The parallel version of precondition iterative techniques is developed for matrices arising from the panel boundary element method for three-dimensional simple connected domains with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Results were obtained on an nCube-2 parallel computer showing that preconditioned iterative methods are very well suited also in three-dimensional cases for implementation on an MIMD computer and that they are much more efficient than usual direct solution techniques.

    Notes: The fast adaptive composite grid (FAC) method is an iterative method for solving discrete boundary value problems on composite grids. McCormick introduced the method in [8] and considered the convergence behaviour for discrete problems resulting from finite volume element discretization on composite grids. In this paper we consider discrete problems resulting from finite difference discretization on composite grids. We distinguish between two obvious discretization approaches at the grid points on the interfaces between fine and coarse subgrids. The FAC method for solving such discrete problems is described. In the FAC method several intergrid transfer operators appear. We study how the convergence behaviour depends on these intergrid transfer operators. Based on theoretical insights, (quasi-)optimal intergrid transfer operators are derived. Numerical results illustrate the fast convergence of the FAC method using these intergrid transfer operators.

    Notes: We apply Dykstra's alternating projection algorithm to the constrained least-squares matrix problem that arises naturally in statistics and mathematical economics. In particular, we are concerned with the problem of finding the closest symmetric positive definite bounded and patterned matrix, in the Frobenius norm, to a given matrix. In this work, we state the problem as the minimization of a convex function over the intersection of a finite collection of closed and convex sets in the vector space of square matrices.We present iterative schemes that exploit the geometry of the problem, and for which we establish convergence to the unique solution. Finally, we present preliminary numberical results to illustrate the performance of the proposed iterative methods.
