Logically Rectangular Finite Volume Methods With Adaptive Refinement On The Sphere, Marsha Berger, Donna Calhoun, Christiane Helzel, Randall Leveque
Logically Rectangular Finite Volume Methods With Adaptive Refinement On The Sphere, Marsha Berger, Donna Calhoun, Christiane Helzel, Randall Leveque
Donna Calhoun
The logically rectangular finite volume grids for two-dimensional partial differential equations on a sphere and for three-dimensional problems in a spherical shell introduced recently have nearly uniform cell size, avoiding severe Courant number restrictions. We present recent results with adaptive mesh refinement using the GEOCLAW software and demonstrate well-balanced methods that exactly maintain equilibrium solutions, such as shallow water equations for an ocean at rest over arbitrary bathymetry.

A Pair Of Operator Summation Formulas And Their Applications, Tian-Xiao He, Leetsch C. Hsu, Dongsheng Yin
Tian-Xiao He
Two types of symbolic summation formulas are reformulated using an extension of Mullin–Rota’s substitution rule in [R. Mullin, G.-C. Rota, On the foundations of combinatorial theory: III. Theory of binomial enumeration, in: B. Harris (Ed.), Graph Theory and its Applications, Academic Press, New York, London, 1970, pp. 167–213], and several applications involving various special formulas and identities are presented as illustrative examples.

On Sequences Of Numbers And Polynomials Defined By Linear Recurrence Relations Of Order 2, Tian-Xiao He, Peter J.-S. Shiue
Tian-Xiao He
Here we present a new method to construct the explicit formula of a sequence of numbers and polynomials generated by a linear recurrence relation of order 2. The applications of the method to the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, Chebyshev polynomials, the generalized Gegenbauer-Humbert polynomials are also discussed. The derived idea provides a generalmethod to construct identities of number or polynomial sequences defined by linear recurrence relations. The applications using the method to solve some algebraic and ordinary differential equations are presented.

Computing Sequences And Series By Recurrence, Stephen J. Sugden
Computing Sequences And Series By Recurrence, Stephen J. Sugden
Stephen Sugden
Extract: Many commonly-used mathematical functions may be computed via carefully-constructed recurrence formulas. Sequences are typically defined by giving a formula for the general term. Series is the mathematical name given to partial sums of sequences. In either case we may often take advantage of the great expressive power of recurrence relations to create code which is both lucid and compact. Further, this does not necessarily mean that we must use recursive code. In many instances, iterative code is adequate, and often more efficient.
Wavelet Deconvolution In A Periodic Setting Using Cross-Validation, Leming Qu, Partha Routh, Kyungduk Ko
Wavelet Deconvolution In A Periodic Setting Using Cross-Validation, Leming Qu, Partha Routh, Kyungduk Ko
Kyungduk Ko
The wavelet deconvolution method WaveD using band-limited wavelets offers both theoretical and computational advantages over traditional compactly supported wavelets. The translation-invariant WaveD with a fast algorithm improves further. The twofold cross-validation method for choosing the threshold parameter and the finest resolution level in WaveD is introduced. The algorithm’s performance is compared with the fixed constant tuning and the default tuning in WaveD.
Bayesian Wavelet-Based Methods For The Detection Of Multiple Changes Of The Long Memory Parameter, Kyungduk Ko
Bayesian Wavelet-Based Methods For The Detection Of Multiple Changes Of The Long Memory Parameter, Kyungduk Ko
Kyungduk Ko
Long memory processes are widely used in many scientific fields, such as economics, physics, and engineering. Change point detection problems have received considerable attention in the literature because of their wide range of possible applications. Here we describe a wavelet-based Bayesian procedure for the estimation and location of multiple change points in the long memory parameter of Gaussian autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average models (ARFIMA(p, d, q)), with unknown autoregressive and moving average parameters. Our methodology allows the number of change points to be unknown. The reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm is used for posterior inference. The method …
Sequence Characterization Of Riordan Arrays, Tian-Xiao He, Renzo Sprugnoli
Sequence Characterization Of Riordan Arrays, Tian-Xiao He, Renzo Sprugnoli
Tian-Xiao He
In the realm of the Riordan group, we consider the characterization of Riordan arrays by means of the A- and Z-sequences. It corresponds to a horizontal construction of a Riordan array, whereas the traditional approach is through column generating functions. We show how the A- and Z-sequences of the product of two Riordan arrays are derived from those of the two factors; similar results are obtained for the inverse. We also show how the sequence characterization is applied to construct easily a Riordan array. Finally, we give the characterizations relative to some subgroups of the Riordan group, in particular, of …
A Finite Volume Method For Solving Parabolic Equations On Logically Cartesian Curved Surface Meshes, Donna Calhoun, Christiane Helzel
A Finite Volume Method For Solving Parabolic Equations On Logically Cartesian Curved Surface Meshes, Donna Calhoun, Christiane Helzel
Donna Calhoun
We present a second-order, finite-volume scheme for the constant-coefficient diffusion equation on curved, parametric surfaces described via smooth or piecewise smooth mappings on logically Cartesian meshes. Our method does not require analytic metric terms, shows second-order accuracy, can be easily coupled to existing finite-volume solvers for logically Cartesian meshes and handles general mixed boundary conditions. We present numerical results demonstrating the accuracy of the scheme, and then use the scheme to solve advection-reaction-diffusion equations modeling biological pattern formation on surfaces.

Let M be an integer matrix with absolute values of all its eigenvalues being greater than 1. We give a characterization of compactly supported M-refinable splines f and the conditions that the shifts of f form a Riesz basis.

Problems Of Local Fractional Definite Integral Of The One-Variable Non-Differentiable Function, Yang Xiao-Jun

It is proposed that local fractional calculas introduced by Kolwankar and Gangal is extended by the concept of Jumarie’s fractional calculus and local fractional definite integral is redefined. The properties and the theorems of local fractional calculus are discussed in this paper.
