Weighted approximation by Bernstein quasiinterpolants for functions with singularities

We introduce a new type of modified Bernstein quasi-interpolants, which can be used to approximate functions with singularities. We establish direct, inverse, and equivalent theorems of the weighted approximation of this modified quasi-interpolants. Some classical results on approximation of continuous functions are generalized to the weighted approximation of functions with singularities.     

Strong Converse Inequality for Left Gamma Quasi-Interpolants

The rate of convergence for the Gamma operators cannot be faster than O(1/n). In order to obtain much faster convergence, quasi-interpolants in the sense of Sablonniere are considered. For the first time in the theory of quasi-interpolants, the strong converse inequality is solved in sup-norm with the K-functional K_λ~α(f, t~(2r)) (0≤λ≤1, 0<α< 2r).     

Engel Subalgebras of n-Lie Algebras

Engel subalgebras of finite-dimensional n-Lie algebras are shown to have similar properties to those of Lie algebras. Using these, it is shown that an n-Lie algebra, all of whose maximal subalgebras are ideals, is nilpotent. A primitive 2-soluble n-Lie algebra is shown to split over its minimal ideal, and all the complements to its minimal ideal are conjugate. A subalgebra is shown to be a Cartan subalgebra if and only if it is minimal Engel, provided that the field has sufficiently many elements. Cartan subalgebras are shown to have a property analogous to intravariance.     

Quaternary quasi-cyclic codes

Quasi-cyclic codes of length mn over Z4 are shown to be equivalent to A-submodules of A^n, where A = Z4[x]/（x^m - 1）. In the case of m being odd, all quasi-cyclic codes are shown to be decomposable into the direct sum of a fixed number of cyclic irreducible A-submodules. Finally the distinct quasi-cyclic codes as well as some specific subclasses are enumerated.     

THE DERIVATIVE ULTRACONVERGENCE FOR QUADRATIC TRIANGULAR FINITE ELEMENTS

This work concerns the ultraconvergence of quadratic finite element approximations of elliptic boundary value problems. A new, discrete least-squares patch recovery technique is proposed to post-process the solution derivatives. Such recovered derivatives are shown to possess ultraconvergence. The keys in the proof are the asymptotic expansion of the bilinear form for the interpolation error and a “localized” symmetry argument. Numerical results are presented to confirm the analysis.     

Efficient estimation for semiparametric varying- coefficient partially linear regression models with current status data

This article considers a semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear regression model with current status data. The semiparametric varying-coefficient partially linear regression model which is a generalization of the partially linear regression model and varying-coefficient regression model that allows one to explore the possibly nonlinear effect of a certain covariate on the response variable. A Sieve maximum likelihood estimation method is proposed and the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are discussed. Under some mild conditions, the estimators are shown to be strongly consistent. The convergence rate of the estimator for the unknown smooth function is obtained and the estimator for the unknown parameter is shown to be asymptotically efficient and normally distributed. Simulation studies are conducted to examine the small-sample properties of the proposed estimates and a real dataset is used to illustrate our approach.     

Sz\`{a}sz-Mirakjan 算子拟中插式的点态逼近等价定理

Recently some classical operator quasi-interpolants were introduced to obtain much faster convergence. A.T. Diallo investigated some approximation properties of Szasz-Mirakjan Quasi-Interpolants, but he obtained only direct theorem with Ditzian-Totik modulus wφ^2r （f, t）. In this paper, we extend Diallo＇s result and solve completely the characterization on the rate of approximation by the method of quasi-interpolants to functions f ∈ CB[0, ∞） by making use of the unified modulus wφ^2r（f, t） （0≤λ≤ 1）.     

On Julia sets concerning phase transitions

The sets of the points corresponding to the phase transitions of the Potts model on the diamond hierarchical lattice for antiferromagnetic coupling are studied. These sets are the Julia sets of a family of rational mappings. It is shown that they may be disconnected sets. Furthermore, the topological structures of these sets are described completely.

Residual-based a posteriori error estimates of nonconforming finite element method for elliptic problems with Dirac delta source terms

Two residual-based a posteriori error estimators of the nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart element are derived for elliptic problems with Dirac delta source terms.One estimator is shown to be reliable and efficient,which yields global upper and lower bounds for the error in piecewise W1,p seminorm.The other one is proved to give a global upper bound of the error in Lp-norm.By taking the two estimators as refinement indicators,adaptive algorithms are suggested,which are experimentally shown to attain optimal convergence orders.     

On near-best discrete quasi-interpolation on a four-directional mesh

Spline quasi-interpolants are practical and effective approximation operators. In this paper, we construct QIs with optimal approximation orders and small infinity norms called near-best discrete quasi-interpolants which are based on Ω-splines, i.e. B-splines with octagonal supports on the uniform four-directional mesh of the plane. These quasi-interpolants are exact on some space of polynomials and they minimize an upper bound of their infinity norms depending on a finite number of free parameters. We show that this problem has always a solution, in general nonunique. Concrete examples of such quasi-interpolants are given in the last section.

Construction of spherical spline quasi-interpolants based on blossoming

A general theory of quasi-interpolants based on quadratic spherical Powell-Sabin splines on spherical triangulations of a sphere-like surface S is developed by using polar forms. As application, various families of discrete and differential quasi-interpolants reproducing quadratic spherical Bézier-Bernstein polynomials or the whole space of the spherical Powell-Sabin quadratic splines of class C¹ are presented.     

On multivariate approximation by integer translates of a basis function

Approximation properties of the dilations of the integer translates of a smooth function, with some derivatives vanishing at infinity, are studied. The results apply to fundamental solutions of homogeneous elliptic operators and to “shifted” fundamental solutions of the iterated Laplacian. Following the approach from spline theory, the question of polynomial reproduction by quasi-interpolation is addressed first. The analysis makes an essential use of the structure of the generalized Fourier transform of the basis function. In contrast with spline theory, polynomial reproduction is not sufficient for the derivation of exact order of convergence by dilated quasi-interpolants. These convergence orders are established by a careful and quite involved examination of the decay rates of the basis function. Furthermore, it is shown that the same approximation orders are obtained with quasi-interpolants defined on a bounded domain.

Near-Best Univariate Spline Discrete Quasi-Interpolants on Nonuniform Partitions

The univariate spline quasi-interpolants (QIs) studied in this paper are approximation operators using B-spline expansions with coefficients that are linear combinations of discrete values of the function to be approximated. When working with nonuniform partitions, the main challenge is to find QIs that have both good approximation orders and uniform norms which are bounded independently of the given partition. Near-best QIs are obtained by minimizing an upper bound for the infinity norm of QIs depending on a certain number of free parameters, thus reducing this norm. This paper is devoted to the study of some families of near-best discrete quasi-interpolants (dQIs) of approximation order 3.      

Studying Baskakov–Durrmeyer operators and quasi-interpolants via special functions

We prove that the kernels of the Baskakov–Durrmeyer and the Szász–Mirakjan–Durrmeyer operators are completely monotonic functions. We establish a Bernstein type inequality for these operators and apply the results to the quasi-interpolants recently introduced by Abel. For the Baskakov–Durrmeyer quasi-interpolants, we give a representation as linear combinations of the original Baskakov–Durrmeyer operators and prove an estimate of Jackson–Favard type and a direct theorem in terms of an appropriate K-functional.
