A class of optimal iterative methods of inverting a linear bounded operator

A family of higher-order iterative methods for inverting a linear bounded operator in a Banach space is presented. This family depending on two integer parameters can be considered as hyperpower methods of [1]. A convergence Theorem is proved and an optimal class with respect to the efficiency index is determined . Several error bounds are derived and compared with those in the literature.     

Wavelets with differential relation

Divergence-free wavelets are successfully applied to numerical solutions of Navier-Stokes equation and to analysis of incompressible flows. They closely depend on a pair of one-dimensional wavelets with some differential relations. In this paper, we point out some restrictions of those wavelets and study scaling functions with the differential relation; Wavelets and their duals are discussed; In addition to the differential relation, we are particularly interested in a class of examples with the interpolatory property; It turns out there is a connection between our examples and Micchelli’s work.     

Quincunx fundamental refinable functions and quincunx biorthogonal wavelets

We analyze the approximation and smoothness properties of quincunx fundamental refinable functions. In particular, we provide a general way for the construction of quincunx interpolatory refinement masks associated with the quincunx lattice in . Their corresponding quincunx fundamental refinable functions attain the optimal approximation order and smoothness order. In addition, these examples are minimally supported with symmetry. For two special families of such quincunx interpolatory masks, we prove that their symbols are nonnegative. Finally, a general way of constructing quincunx biorthogonal wavelets is presented. Several examples of quincunx interpolatory masks and quincunx biorthogonal wavelets are explicitly computed.

     

Multi-Fractal Formalism for Quasi-Self-Similar Functions

The study of multi-fractal functions has proved important in several domains of physics. Some physical phenomena such as fully developed turbulence or diffusion limited aggregates seem to exhibit some sort of self-similarity. The validity of the multi-fractal formalism has been proved to be valid for self-similar functions. But, multi-fractals encountered in physics or image processing are not exactly self-similar. For this reason, we extend the validity of the multi-fractal formalism for a class of some non-self-similar functions. Our functions are written as the superposition of similar structures at different scales, reminiscent of some possible modelization of turbulence or cascade models. Their expressions look also like wavelet decompositions. For the computation of their spectrum of singularities, it is unknown how to construct Gibbs measures. However, it suffices to use measures constructed according the Frostman's method. Besides, we compute the box dimension of the graphs.     

Constructive decomposition of functions of finite central mean oscillation

The space CMO of functions of finite central mean oscillation is an analogue of BMO where the condition that the sharp maximal function is bounded is replaced by the convergence of the sharp function at the origin. In this paper it is shown that each element of CMO is a singular integral image of an element of the Beurling space of functions whose Hardy-Littlewood maximal function converges at zero. This result is an analogue of Uchiyama's constructive decomposition of BMO in terms of singular integral images of bounded functions. The argument shows, in fact, that to each element of CMO one can construct a vector Calderón-Zygmund operator that maps that element into the proper subspace .

     

Wavelets in Banach Spaces

We describe a construction of wavelets (coherent states) in Banach spaces generated by admissible group representations. Our main targets are applications in pure mathematics while connections with quantum mechanics are mentioned. As an example, we consider operator-valued Segal–Bargmann-type spaces and the Weyl functional calculus.     

Elastoplastic stress analysis for cylindrical shell with flat strip imperfection

Based on unequidistant B-spline function, generalized spline subdomain displacement mode of rotational shell is obtained by taking double-direction interpolation of spline. The elastoplastic constitutive equation of shells is established by using the endochronic theory.According to the initial deflection theory of shells, the elastoplastic stress analysis of cylindrical shells with flat strip geometrical imperfection is studied. Numerical results show that the geometrical imperfection has a great effect on the stress distribution of shells.     

On the choice of the initial value of a quadratic spline in positive interpolation

Any quadratic spline with coinciding interpolating points and breakpoints can be uniquely determined by one initial condition. We examine how to choose the initial value in positive interpolation by using a norm of the spline. Monotone interpolation is also considered. The results are illuminated by numerical examples and by an application.     

On comparison of jump point detection for an exchange rate series

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the detection of jump points of a discontinuous function in the presence of a noise by the wavelet approach. A computing algorithm of our method is proposed and then applied to the daily exchange rate of US Dollar against Deutsche Mark. All the points detected by our method reflect very strong economic and political impacts. Other statistical methods to detect jump points have also been applied to the same exchange rate data. Our proposed method has produced more convincing empirical results than others.
