The semilocal convergence of a generalization of Brent's and Brown's methods

In this paper, we discuss the semilocal convergence of Martínez's generalization of Brent's and Brown's methods. Through a careful investigation of the algorithm structure, we convert Martínez's generalized method into an approximate Newton method with a special error term. Based on such equivalent variation, we prove the semilocal convergence theorem of Martínez's generalized method. This is a complementary result to the convergence theory of Martínez's generalized method.

The convergence of Rothe's method in Hölder spaces is discussed. The obtained results are based on uniform boundedness of Rothe's approximate solutions in Hölder spaces recently achieved by the first author. The convergence and its rate are derived inside a parabolic cylinder assuming an additional compatibility conditions.     

Numerical Solutions of Stochastic Differential Delay Equations with Jumps

Abstract

In this article, we investigate the strong convergence of the Euler–Maruyama method and stochastic theta method for stochastic differential delay equations with jumps. Under a global Lipschitz condition, we not only prove the strong convergence, but also obtain the rate of convergence. We show strong convergence under a local Lipschitz condition and a linear growth condition. Moreover, it is the first time that we obtain the rate of the strong convergence under a local Lipschitz condition and a linear growth condition, i.e., if the local Lipschitz constants for balls of radius R are supposed to grow not faster than log R.

New convergence estimates for multilevel algorithms for finite-element approximations

New convergence estimates are established for some multilevel algorithms for finite-element methods applied to elliptic problems with jump coefficients. A uniform rate of convergence is derived if the coefficient has only one jump interface. If the coefficient has multi-jump interfaces which meet at only one interior point in the domain, the convergence rate is bounded by 1−(CJ)⁻¹, where J is the number of levels and C is a constant independent of the jump.     

A Theoretical and Numerical Comparison of Some Semismooth Algorithms for Complementarity Problems

In this paper we introduce a general line search scheme which easily allows us to define and analyze known and new semismooth algorithms for the solution of nonlinear complementarity problems. We enucleate the basic assumptions that a search direction to be used in the general scheme has to enjoy in order to guarantee global convergence, local superlinear/quadratic convergence or finite convergence. We examine in detail several different semismooth algorithms and compare their theoretical features and their practical behavior on a set of large-scale problems.

Implicit Euler method for numerical solution of nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations with multiplicative trace class noise

In this paper, we consider the numerical approximation of stochastic partial differential equations with nonlinear multiplicative trace class noise. Discretization is obtained by spectral collocation method in space, and semi‐implicit Euler method is used for the temporal approximation. Our purpose is to investigate the convergence of the proposed method. The rate of convergence is obtained, and some numerical examples are included to illustrate the estimated convergence rate.     

NONCONFORMING FINITE ELEMENT PENALTY METHOD FOR STOKES EQUATION

a special penalty method is presented to improve the accuracy of the standard penaltymethod (or solving Stokes equation with nonconforming finite element, It is shown that thismethod with a larger penalty parameter can achieve the same accuracy as the staodaxd methodwith a smaller penalty parameter. The convergence rate of the standard method is just hall order of this penalty method when using the same penalty parameter, while the extrapolationmethod proposed by Faik et al can not yield so high accuracy of convergence. At last, we alsoget the super-convergence estimates for total flux.     

Analysis of finite element approximation and quadrature of Volterra integral equations

In this article we study Galerkin finite element approximations to integral equations of the Volterra type. Our prime concern is the noncoercive case, which is not covered by the standard finite element theory. The question of rates of convergence is studied for the case where an exact stiffness matrix is available, as well as the case where the latter is approximated via quadrature rules. The optimality of these rules is also considered from the point of view of the effect the choice of the quadrature has on the overall rate of convergence. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

On preconditioned Uzawa methods and SOR methods for saddle-point problems

This paper studies convergence analysis of a preconditioned inexact Uzawa method for nondifferentiable saddle-point problems. The SOR-Newton method and the SOR-BFGS method are special cases of this method. We relax the Bramble-Pasciak-Vassilev condition on preconditioners for convergence of the inexact Uzawa method for linear saddle-point problems. The relaxed condition is used to determine the relaxation parameters in the SOR-Newton method and the SOR-BFGS method. Furthermore, we study global convergence of the multistep inexact Uzawa method for nondifferentiable saddle-point problems.     

A note on the convergence of the secant method for simple and multiple roots

The secant method is one of the most popular methods for root finding. Standard text books in numerical analysis state that the secant method is superlinear: the rate of convergence is set by the gold number. Nevertheless, this property holds only for simple roots. If the multiplicity of the root is larger than one, the convergence of the secant method becomes linear. This communication includes a detailed analysis of the secant method when it is used to approximate multiple roots. Thus, a proof of the linear convergence is shown. Moreover, the values of the corresponding asymptotic convergence factors are determined and are found to be also related with the golden ratio.     

A globally convergent BFGS method for nonlinear monotone equations without any merit functions

Since 1965, there has been significant progress in the theoretical study on quasi-Newton methods for solving nonlinear equations, especially in the local convergence analysis. However, the study on global convergence of quasi-Newton methods is relatively fewer, especially for the BFGS method. To ensure global convergence, some merit function such as the squared norm merit function is typically used. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for solving nonlinear monotone equations, which combines the BFGS method and the hyperplane projection method. We also prove that the proposed BFGS method converges globally if the equation is monotone and Lipschitz continuous without differentiability requirement on the equation, which makes it possible to solve some nonsmooth equations. An attractive property of the proposed method is that its global convergence is independent of any merit function.We also report some numerical results to show efficiency of the proposed method.
