Dependence Among Spacings, Baha-Eldin Khaledi, Subhash C. Kochar
Dependence Among Spacings, Baha-Eldin Khaledi, Subhash C. Kochar
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
In this paper, we study the dependence properties of spacings. It is proved that if X1,..., Xn are exchangeable random variables which are TP2 in pairs and their joint density is log-convex in each argument, then the spacings are MTP2 dependent. Next, we consider the case of independent but nonhomogeneous exponential random variables. It is shown that in this case, in general, the spacings are not MTP2 dependent. However, in the case of a single outlier when all except one parameters are equal, the spacings are shown to be MTP2 dependent and, hence, …
An Efficient Method For Band Structure Calculations In 3d Photonic Crystals, David C. Dobson, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Joseph E. Pasciak
An Efficient Method For Band Structure Calculations In 3d Photonic Crystals, David C. Dobson, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Joseph E. Pasciak
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
A method for computing band structures for three-dimensional photonic crystals is described. The method combines a mixed finite element discretization on a uniform grid with a fast Fourier transform preconditioner and a preconditioned subspace iteration algorithm. Numerical examples illustrating the behavior of the method are presented.
Mortar Estimates Independent Of Number Of Subdomains, Jay Gopalakrishnan
Mortar Estimates Independent Of Number Of Subdomains, Jay Gopalakrishnan
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
The stability and error estimates for the mortar finite element method are well established. This work examines the dependence of constants in these estimates on shape and number of subdomains. By means of a Poincar´e inequality and some scaling arguments, these estimates are found not to deteriorate with increase in number of subdomains.
About Non-Spherically Symmetric Deformations Of An Incompressible Neo-Hookean Sphere, Marek Elźanowski
About Non-Spherically Symmetric Deformations Of An Incompressible Neo-Hookean Sphere, Marek Elźanowski
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
A class of non-spherically symmetric deformations of a neo-Hookean incompressible elastic ball is considered. It is shown that the only possible solution, the cavitated radially symmetric solution and the deformation of radial inflation and polar stretching. These are the same solutions as found by Polignone-Warne and Warne [6] for a smaller class of deformations. This fact shows once again that the radial deformations are the only deformations, at least within the class considered, which may support a formation of a cavity in the center of an incompressible, isotropic, elastic sphere.
Multigrid For The Mortar Finite Element Method, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Joseph E. Pasciak
Multigrid For The Mortar Finite Element Method, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Joseph E. Pasciak
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
A multigrid technique for uniformly preconditioning linear systems arising from a mortar finite element discretization of second order elliptic boundary value problems is described and analyzed. These problems are posed on domains partitioned into subdomains, each of which is independently triangulated in a multilevel fashion. The multilevel mortar finite element spaces based on such triangulations (which need not align across subdomain interfaces) are in general not nested. Suitable grid transfer operators and smoothers are developed which lead to a variable Vcycle preconditioner resulting in a uniformly preconditioned algebraic system. Computational results illustrating the theory are also presented.
Estimation Of A Monotone Mean Residual Life, Subhash C. Kochar, Hari Mukerjee, Francisco J. Samaniego
Estimation Of A Monotone Mean Residual Life, Subhash C. Kochar, Hari Mukerjee, Francisco J. Samaniego
Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
In survival analysis and in the analysis of life tables an important biometric function of interest is the life expectancy at age x,M(x), defined by M(x)=E[X?x|X>x], where X is a lifetime. M is called the mean residual life function. In many applications it is reasonable to assume that M is decreasing (DMRL) or increasing (IMRL); we write decreasing (increasing) for nonincreasing (non-decreasing). There is some literature on empirical estimators of M and their properties. Although tests for a monotone M are discussed in the literature, we are not aware of any estimators of M under these order restrictions. In …
