A Meshless Gradient Recovery Method Part I: Superconvergence Property, Zhiming Zhang, Ahmed Naga Feb 2002

A Meshless Gradient Recovery Method Part I: Superconvergence Property, Zhiming Zhang, Ahmed Naga

Mathematics Research Reports

A new gradient recovery method is introduced and analyzed. It is proved that the method is superconvergent for translation invariant finite element spaces of any order. The method maintains the simplicity, efficiency, and superconvergence properties of the Zienkiewicz-Zhu patch recovery method. In addition, under uniform triangular meshes, the method is superconvergent for the Chevron pattern, and ultraconvergence at element edge centers for the regular pattern.

Discrete Maximum Principle For Nonsmooth Optimal Control Problems With Delays, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Ilya Shvartsman Dec 2001

Discrete Maximum Principle For Nonsmooth Optimal Control Problems With Delays, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Ilya Shvartsman

Mathematics Research Reports

We consider optimal control problems for discrete-time systems with delays. The main goal is to derive necessary optimality conditions of the discrete maximum principle type in the case of nonsmooth minimizing functions. We obtain two independent forms of the discrete maximum principle with transversality conditions described in terms of subdifferentials and superdifferentials, respectively. The superdifferential form is new even for non-delayed systems and may be essentially stronger than a more conventional subdifferential form in some situations.


Ultraconvergence Of Zz Patch Recovery At Mesh Symmetry Points, Zhimin Zhang, Runchang Lin Sep 2001

Ultraconvergence Of Zz Patch Recovery At Mesh Symmetry Points, Zhimin Zhang, Runchang Lin

Mathematics Research Reports

Ultraconvergence property of the Zienkiewicz-Zhu gradient patch recovery technique based on local discrete least squares fitting is established for a large class of even-order finite elements. The result is valid at all rectangular mesh symmetry points. Different smoothing strategies are discussed. Superconvergence recovery for the Q8 element is proved and ultraconvergence numerical examples are demonstrated.

Invariant Measure For Diffusions With Jumps, Jose-Luis Menaldi, Maurice Robin Feb 1999

Invariant Measure For Diffusions With Jumps, Jose-Luis Menaldi, Maurice Robin

Mathematics Faculty Research Publications

Our purpose is to study an ergodic linear equation associated to diffusion processes with jumps in the whole space. This integro-differential equation plays a fundamental role in ergodic control problems of second order Markov processes. The key result is to prove the existence and uniqueness of an invariant density function for a jump diffusion, whose lower order coefficients are only Borel measurable. Based on this invariant probability, existence and uniqueness (up to an additive constant) of solutions to the ergodic linear equation are established.

Time-Discretization Of Hamiltonian Dynamical Systems, Yosi Shibberu Jun 1993

Time-Discretization Of Hamiltonian Dynamical Systems, Yosi Shibberu

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

Difference equations for Hamiltonian systems are derived from a discrete variational principle. The difference equations completely determine piecewise-linear, continuous trajectories which exactly conserve the Hamiltonian function at the midpoints of each linear segment. A generating function exists for transformations between the vertices of the trajectories. Existence and uniqueness results are present as well as simulation results for a simple pendulum and an inverse square law system.
