New Types of Jacobian-Free Approximate Riemann Solvers for Hyperbolic Systems

2017

We present recent advances in PVM (Polynomial Viscosity Matrix) methods based on internal approximations to the absolute value function. These solvers only require a bound on the maximum wave speed, so no spectral decomposition is needed. Moreover, they can be written in Jacobian-free form, in which only evaluations of the physical flux are used. This is particularly interesting when considering systems with complex Jacobians, as the relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) equations. The proposed solvers have also been extended to the case of approximate DOT (Dumbser-Osher-Toro) methods, which can be regarded as simple and efficient approximations to the classical Osher-Solomon method. Som…

Solvability of the divergence equation implies John via Poincaré inequality

2014

Abstract Let Ω ⊂ R 2 be a bounded simply connected domain. We show that, for a fixed (every) p ∈ ( 1 , ∞ ) , the divergence equation div v = f is solvable in W 0 1 , p ( Ω ) 2 for every f ∈ L 0 p ( Ω ) , if and only if Ω is a John domain, if and only if the weighted Poincare inequality ∫ Ω | u ( x ) − u Ω | q d x ≤ C ∫ Ω | ∇ u ( x ) | q  dist  ( x , ∂ Ω ) q d x holds for some (every) q ∈ [ 1 , ∞ ) . This gives a positive answer to a question raised by Russ (2013) in the case of bounded simply connected domains. In higher dimensions similar results are proved under some additional assumptions on the domain in question.

Isometries between spaces of multiple Dirichlet series

2019

Abstract In this paper we study spaces of multiple Dirichlet series and their properties. We set the ground of the theory of multiple Dirichlet series and define the spaces H ∞ ( C + k ) , k ∈ N , of convergent and bounded multiple Dirichlet series on C + k . We give a representation for these Banach spaces and prove that they are all isometrically isomorphic, independently of the dimension. The analogous result for A ( C + k ) , k ∈ N , which are the spaces of multiple Dirichlet series that are convergent on C + k and define uniformly continuous functions, is obtained.

Stochastic linearization for the response of MDOF systems subjected to external and parametric Gaussian excitations

1991

The stochastic linearization approach is examined for the most general case of non zero-mean response of non-linear MDOF systems subjected to parametric and external Gaussian white excitations. It is shown that, for these systems too, stochastic linearization and Gaussian closure are two equivalent approaches if the former is applied to the coefficients of the Ito differential rule. Moreover, an extension of the Atalik-Utku approach to non zero-mean response systems allows to obtain simple formulations for the linearized drift coefficients. Some applications show the good accuracy of the method.

Computing Difficulties for Deriving Poverty Indices from Some Functional Forms of Lorenz Curves

2014

We examine three families of classical one-parameter functional forms for estimating a Lorenz curve: the power form (Pareto, elementary form), the exponential form (Gupta, elementary form) and fractional form (Rohde). For the first time, we systematically study these functions not for their ability to be estimated but on the point of view of the possibility of deriving poverty indices, which implies first determining the headcount ratio (i.e., the percentage of poor). We show that computing difficulties have been largely underestimated. Two forms, the most simple ones, pose no problem: the elementary power and exponential forms. However, the Pareto functional form poses problem with a restr…

Errors Generated by Uncertain Data

2014

In this chapter, we study effects caused by incompletely known data. In practice, the data are never known exactly, therefore the results generated by a mathematical model also have a limited accuracy. Then, the whole subject of error analysis should be treated in a different manner, and accuracy of numerical solutions should be considered within a framework of a more complicated scheme, which includes such notions as maximal and minimal distances to the solution set and its radius.

Optimal control of the Schrödinger equation with two or three levels

2007

In this paper, we present how techniques of “control theory”, “sub-Riemannian geometry” and “singular Riemannian geometry” can be applied to some classical problems of quantum mechanics and yield improvements to some previous results.

Multiparametric Rational Solutions of Order N to the KPI Equation and the Explicit Case of Order 3

2021

We present multiparametric rational solutions to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation (KPI). These solutions of order N depend on 2N − 2 real parameters. Explicit expressions of the solutions at order 3 are given. They can be expressed as a quotient of a polynomial of degree 2N(N +1)−2 in x, y and t by a polynomial of degree 2N(N +1) in x, y and t, depending on 2N − 2 real parameters. We study the patterns of their modulus in the (x,y) plane for different values of time t and parameters.

The Impact of Financial Development and Macroeconomic Fundamentals on Nonperforming Loans among Emerging Countries: An Assessment Using the NARDL App…

2022

The relationship between financial development indicators and non-performing loans (NPLs) has garnered significant attention, especially in emerging countries. The puzzle of whether financial sector development increases or decreases Non-performing Loans (NPL)s has not been resolved to the satisfaction of the curious mind. This research attempts to answer the above question by studying the asymmetric and symmetric association between financial sector development and NPLs, by utilizing the novel non-linear autoregressive distribution lag (NARDL) and the linear autoregressive distribution lag (ARDL) approach. Moreover, to make the study inclusive, we have added a series of proxies to measure …
