The Barycenter Of The Numerical Range Of A Matrix, Sean A. Broughton, Roger G. Lautzenheiser, Thomas Werne Aug 2007

The Barycenter Of The Numerical Range Of A Matrix, Sean A. Broughton, Roger G. Lautzenheiser, Thomas Werne

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

The numerical range W(A) of an nxn matrix A is the totality of the scalar products <Ax,x> as x varies over all unit vectors in Cn The barycenter (center of mass) of the numerical range is defined geometrically as the center of mass of W(A) considered as a planar lamina with variable density and also as a limit of sample averages (<Ax1,x1>+...+<AxN,xN>)/N. Under a wide range the sampling schemes it is shown that the barycenter is the average of the spectrum …


Some Results Of Backward Itô Formula, Guiseppe Da Prato, Jose-Luis Menaldi, Luciano Tubaro May 2007

Some Results Of Backward Itô Formula, Guiseppe Da Prato, Jose-Luis Menaldi, Luciano Tubaro

Mathematics Faculty Research Publications

We use the notion of backward integration, with respect to a general Lévy process, to treat, in a simpler and unifying way, various classical topics as: Girsanov theorem, rst order partial differential equations, the Liouville (or Lyapunov) equations and the stochastic characteristic method.


Green And Poisson Functions With Wentzell Boundary Conditions, José-Luis Menaldi, Luciano Tubaro Jan 2007

Green And Poisson Functions With Wentzell Boundary Conditions, José-Luis Menaldi, Luciano Tubaro

Mathematics Faculty Research Publications

We discuss the construction and estimates of the Green and Poisson functions associated with a parabolic second order integro-di erential operator with Wentzell boundary conditions.


A Functional Calculus In A Non Commutative Setting, Fabrizio Colombo, Graziano Gentili, Irene Sabadini, Daniele C. Struppa Jan 2007

A Functional Calculus In A Non Commutative Setting, Fabrizio Colombo, Graziano Gentili, Irene Sabadini, Daniele C. Struppa

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

In this paper we announce the development of a functional calculus for operators defined on quaternionic Banach spaces. The definition is based on a new notion of slice regularity, see [6], and the key tools are a new resolvent operator and a new eigenvalue problem. This approach allows us to deal both with bounded and unbounded operators.


Auxiliary Information And A Priori Values In Construction Of Improved Estimators, Florentin Smarandache, Rajesh Singh, Pankaj Chauhan, Nirmala Sawan Jan 2007

Auxiliary Information And A Priori Values In Construction Of Improved Estimators, Florentin Smarandache, Rajesh Singh, Pankaj Chauhan, Nirmala Sawan

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

This volume is a collection of six papers on the use of auxiliary information and a priori values in construction of improved estimators. The work included here will be of immense application for researchers and students who employ auxiliary information in any form. Below we discuss each paper: 1. Ratio estimators in simple random sampling using information on auxiliary attribute. Prior knowledge about population mean along with coefficient of variation of the population of an auxiliary variable is known to be very useful particularly when the ratio, product and regression estimators are used for estimation of population mean of a …

Locally Conservative Fluxes For The Continuous Galerkin Method, Bernardo Cockburn, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Haiying Wang Jan 2007

Locally Conservative Fluxes For The Continuous Galerkin Method, Bernardo Cockburn, Jay Gopalakrishnan, Haiying Wang

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications and Presentations

The standard continuous Galerkin (CG) finite element method for second order elliptic problems suffers from its inability to provide conservative flux approximations, a much needed quantity in many applications. We show how to overcome this shortcoming by using a two step postprocessing. The first step is the computation of a numerical flux trace defined on element inter- faces and is motivated by the structure of the numerical traces of discontinuous Galerkin methods. This computation is non-local in that it requires the solution of a symmetric positive definite system, but the system is well conditioned independently of mesh size, so it …
