Comparison of continuous and discontinuous Galerkin approaches for variable-viscosity Stokes flow
2015
We describe a Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) scheme for variable-viscosity Stokes flow which is a crucial aspect of many geophysical modelling applications and conduct numerical experiments with different elements comparing the DG approach to the standard Finite Element Method (FEM). We compare the divergence-conforming lowest-order Raviart-Thomas (RT0P0) and Brezzi-Douglas-Marini (BDM1P0) element in the DG scheme with the bilinear Q1P0 and biquadratic Q2P1 elements for velocity and their matching piecewise constant/linear elements for pressure in the standard continuous Galerkin (CG) scheme with respect to accuracy and memory usage in 2D benchmark setups. We find that for the chosen geodynami…

Purpose: The aim of this work was to determine dose distributions for high-energy brachytherapy sources at spa- tial locations not included in the radial dose function gL(r) and 2D anisotropy function F(r,θ) table entries for radial dis- tance r and polar angle θ. The objectives of this study are as follows: 1) to evaluate interpolation methods in order to accurately derive gL(r) and F(r,θ) from the reported data; 2) to determine the minimum number of entries in gL(r) and F(r,θ) that allow reproduction of dose distributions with sufficient accuracy. Material and methods: Four high-energy photon-emitting brachytherapy sources were studied: 60Co model Co0.A86, 137Cs model CSM-3, 192Ir model I…
The Bishop–Phelps–Bollobás point property
2016
Abstract In this article, we study a version of the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobas property. We investigate a pair of Banach spaces ( X , Y ) such that every operator from X into Y is approximated by operators which attain their norm at the same point where the original operator almost attains its norm. In this case, we say that such a pair has the Bishop–Phelps–Bollobas point property (BPBpp). We characterize uniform smoothness in terms of BPBpp and we give some examples of pairs ( X , Y ) which have and fail this property. Some stability results are obtained about l 1 and l ∞ sums of Banach spaces and we also study this property for bilinear mappings.
A fully adaptive multiresolution scheme for image processing
2007
A nonlinear multiresolution scheme within Harten's framework [A. Harten, Discrete multiresolution analysis and generalized wavelets, J. Appl. Numer. Math. 12 (1993) 153-192; A. Harten, Multiresolution representation of data II, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 33 (3) (1996) 1205-1256] is presented. It is based on a centered piecewise polynomial interpolation fully adapted to discontinuities. Compression properties of the multiresolution scheme are studied on various numerical experiments on images.
Mapping properties for the Bargmann transform on modulation spaces
2010
We investigate mapping properties for the Bargmann transform and prove that this transform is isometric and bijective from modulation spaces to convenient Banach spaces of analytic functions.
Discrete Maximum Principle for Galerkin Finite Element Solutions to Parabolic Problems on Rectangular Meshes
2004
One of the most important problems in numerical simulation is the preservation of qualitative properties of solutions of mathematical models. For problems of parabolic type, one of such properties is the maximum principle. In [5], Fujii analyzed the discrete analogue of the (continuous) maximum principle for the linear parabolic problems, and derived sufficient conditions guaranteeing its validity for the Galerkin finite element approximations built on simplicial meshes. In our paper, we present the sufficient conditions for the validity of the discrete maximum principle for the case of bilinear finite element space approximations on rectangular meshes.
Identification of linear parameter varying models
2002
We consider identification of a certain class of discrete-time nonlinear systems known as linear parameter varying system. We assume that inputs, outputs and the scheduling parameters are directly measured, and a form of the functional dependence of the system coefficients on the parameters is known. We show how this identification problem can be reduced to a linear regression, and provide compact formulae for the corresponding least mean square and recursive least-squares algorithms. We derive conditions on persistency of excitation in terms of the inputs and scheduling parameter trajectories when the functional dependence is of polynomial type. These conditions have a natural polynomial i…
Novel 3D bio-macromolecular bilinear descriptors for protein science: Predicting protein structural classes
2015
In the present study, we introduce novel 3D protein descriptors based on the bilinear algebraic form in the ℝn space on the coulombic matrix. For the calculation of these descriptors, macromolecular vectors belonging to ℝn space, whose components represent certain amino acid side-chain properties, were used as weighting schemes. Generalization approaches for the calculation of inter-amino acidic residue spatial distances based on Minkowski metrics are proposed. The simple- and double-stochastic schemes were defined as approaches to normalize the coulombic matrix. The local-fragment indices for both amino acid-types and amino acid-groups are presented in order to permit characterizing fragme…
Atom-based Stochastic and non-Stochastic 3D-Chiral Bilinear Indices and their Applications to Central Chirality Codification
2006
Abstract Non-stochastic and stochastic 2D bilinear indices have been generalized to codify chemical structure information for chiral drugs, making use of a trigonometric 3D-chirality correction factor. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of this novel approach in drug design we have modeled the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity of perindoprilate's σ-stereoisomers combinatorial library. Two linear discriminant analysis models, using non-stochastic and stochastic linear indices, were obtained. The models had shown an accuracy of 95.65% for the training set and 100% for the external prediction set. Next the prediction of the σ-receptor antagonists of chiral 3-(3-hydroxypheny…
Nucleotide's bilinear indices: Novel bio-macromolecular descriptors for bioinformatics studies of nucleic acids. I. Prediction of paromomycin's affin…
2009
A new set of nucleotide-based bio-macromolecular descriptors are presented. This novel approach to bio-macromolecular design from a linear algebra point of view is relevant to nucleic acids quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies. These bio-macromolecular indices are based on the calculus of bilinear maps on Re(n)[b(mk)(x (m),y (m)):Re(n) x Re(n)--Re] in canonical basis. Nucleic acid's bilinear indices are calculated from kth power of non-stochastic and stochastic nucleotide's graph-theoretic electronic-contact matrices, M(m)(k) and (s)M(m)(k), respectively. That is to say, the kth non-stochastic and stochastic nucleic acid's bilinear indices are calculated using M(m)(k)…
