Small Ball Probabilities of Fractional Brownian Sheets via Fractional Integration Operators

We investigate the small ball problem for d-dimensional fractional Brownian sheets by functional analytic methods. For this reason we show that integration operators of Riemann–Liouville and Weyl type are very close in the sense of their approximation properties, i.e., the Kolmogorov and entropy numbers of their difference tend to zero exponentially. This allows us to carry over properties of the Weyl operator to the Riemann–Liouville one, leading to sharp small ball estimates for some fractional Brownian sheets. In particular, we extend Talagrand's estimate for the 2-dimensional Brownian sheet to the fractional case. When passing from dimension 1 to dimension d2, we use a quite general estimate for the Kolmogorov numbers of the tensor products of linear operators.     

Exact Gaussian expansions of Slater-type atomic orbitals

Three exact Slater-type function (STO) integral transforms are presented. The STO-NG basis set can then be developed using either only 1s Gaussian functions, the same Gaussian exponents for each shell, or using the first Gaussian of each symmetry. The use of any of these three alternatives depends only on appropriate numerical integration techniques.

On a modification of the Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature formula

In this paper we discuss a modification of the Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature formula. It is shown that for integrals, where the integrand may be expanded in a sufficiently rapid convergent Chebyshev series, we may split the sequence of calculated approximations into two sequences, one which approximates the integral from above and one which approximates it from below. Thus, at any step during the calculation we obtain both upper and lower bounds for the true value of the integral.Work performed while the author was working as a visiting scientist at CERN/Geneve.     

Experiments with a symbolic programming system for complex analysis

The paper reports the results of work on the construction of LISP programs for various symbolic operations in complex analysis, including the evaluation of integrals around closed contours by the use of Cauchy's Theorem. It is concluded that the only difficulty in the way of the preparation of programs for all of the important and useful textbook calculations in complex analysis is that large amounts of fast storage in the computer are needed.     

An evaluation of the radial part of numerical integration commonly used in DFT

Recently, Gill and Chien introduced a new radial quadrature for multiexponential integrands (MultiExp grid) to deal with the radial part of the numerical integration. In this article, the MultiExp grid is studied and used to integrate the charge density. The MultiExp grid, along with an optimal pruning scheme, performed very well both in terms of accuracy and efficiency compared to other radial mappings commonly used in Density Functional Theory.     

Explicit Expressions for the Ruin Probabilities of Erlang Risk Processes with Pareto Individual Claim Distributions

In this paper we first consider a risk process in which claim inter-arrival times and the time untilthe first claim have an Erlang (2) distribution.An explicit solution is derived for the probability of ultimateruin,given an initial reserve of u when the claim size follows a Pareto distribution.Follow Ramsay,Laplacetransforms and exponential integrals are used to derive the solution,which involves a single integral of realvalued functions along the positive real line,and the integrand is not of an oscillating kind.Then we showthat the ultimate ruin probability can be expressed as the sum of expected values of functions of two differentGamma random variables.Finally,the results are extended to the Erlang(n) case.Numerical examples aregiven to illustrate the main results.     

On tractability of weighted integration over bounded and unbounded regions in

We prove that for the space of functions with mixed first derivatives bounded in norm, the weighted integration problem over bounded or unbounded regions is equivalent to the corresponding classical integration problem over the unit cube, provided that the integration domain and weight have product forms. This correspondence yields tractability of the general weighted integration problem.

     

On strong tractability of weighted multivariate integration

We prove that for every dimension and every number of points, there exists a point-set whose -weighted unanchored discrepancy is bounded from above by independently of provided that the sequence has for some (even arbitrarily large) . Here is a positive number that could be chosen arbitrarily close to zero and depends on but not on or . This result yields strong tractability of the corresponding integration problems including approximation of weighted integrals over unbounded domains such as . It also supplements the results that provide an upper bound of the form when .

     

Substructuring preconditioners for the three fields domain decomposition method

We study a class of preconditioners based on substructuring, for the discrete Steklov-Poincaré operator arising in the three fields formulation of domain decomposition in two dimensions. Under extremely general assumptions on the discretization spaces involved, an upper bound is provided on the condition number of the preconditioned system, which is shown to grow at most as ( and denoting, respectively, the diameter and the discretization mesh-size of the subdomains). Extensive numerical tests--performed on both a plain and a stabilized version of the method--confirm the optimality of such bound.
