Singularities of Solutions to Quadratic Vector Equations on the Complex Upper Half‐Plane

Let S be a positivity‐preserving symmetric linear operator acting on bounded functions. The nonlinear equation with a parameter z in the complex upper half‐plane ? has a unique solution m with values in ?. We show that the z‐dependence of this solution can be represented as the Stieltjes transforms of a family of probability measures v on ?. Under suitable conditions on S , we show that v has a real analytic density apart from finitely many algebraic singularities of degree at most 3. Our motivation comes from large random matrices. The solution m determines the density of eigenvalues of two prominent matrix ensembles: (i) matrices with centered independent entries whose variances are given by S and (ii) matrices with correlated entries with a translation‐invariant correlation structure. Our analysis shows that the limiting eigenvalue density has only square root singularities or cubic root cusps; no other singularities occur.© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Optimal Error of Analytic Continuation from a Finite Set with Inaccurate Data in Hilbert Spaces of Holomorphic Functions

We consider the problem of analytic continuation with inaccurate data from a finite subset U of a domain D of C ⁿ to a point z ₀D\U for the functions f belonging to a bounded correctness set V in a Hilbert space H(D) of analytic functions in D. In the case when H(D) is a Hilbert space with a reproducing kernel, we find constructive formulas for calculating the optimal error, the optimal function, and the optimal linear algorithm for extrapolation to a point z ₀ for functions in V whose approximate values are given on a set U. Moreover, we study the asymptotics of the optimal error in the case when the errors of initial data vanish.     

On the Inviscid Limit Problem of the Vorticity Equations for Viscous Incompressible Flows in the Half‐Plane

We consider the Navier‐Stokes equations for viscous incompressible flows in the half‐plane under the no‐slip boundary condition. By using the vorticity formulation we prove the local‐in‐time convergence of the Navier‐Stokes flows to the Euler flows outside a boundary layer and to the Prandtl flows in the boundary layer in the inviscid limit when the initial vorticity is located away from the boundary. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A Posteriori Error Estimates for Distributed Convex Optimal Control Problems

In this paper, we present an a posteriori error analysis for finite element approximation of distributed convex optimal control problems. We derive a posteriori error estimates for the coupled state and control approximations under some assumptions which hold in many applications. Such estimates, which are apparently not available in the literature, can be used to construct reliable adaptive finite element approximation schemes for control problems. Explicit estimates are obtained for some model problems which frequently appear in real-life applications.     

Error Estimates for a Class of Elliptic Optimal Control Problems

In this article, functional type a posteriori error estimates are presented for a certain class of optimal control problems with elliptic partial differential equation constraints. It is assumed that in the cost functional the state is measured in terms of the energy norm generated by the state equation. The functional a posteriori error estimates developed by Repin in the late 1990s are applied to estimate the cost function value from both sides without requiring the exact solution of the state equation. Moreover, a lower bound for the minimal cost functional value is derived. A meaningful error quantity coinciding with the gap between the cost functional values of an arbitrary admissible control and the optimal control is introduced. This error quantity can be estimated from both sides using the estimates for the cost functional value. The theoretical results are confirmed by numerical tests.

Unconditionally Optimal Error Estimates of the Bilinear-Constant Scheme for Time-Dependent Navier-Stokes Equations

In this paper,the unconditional error estimates are presented for the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations by the bilinear-constant scheme.The corresponding optimal error estimates for the velocity and the pressure are derived unconditionally,while the previous works require certain time-step restrictions.The analysis is based on an iterated time-discrete system,with which the error function is split into a temporal error and a spatial error.The τ-independent(τ is the time stepsize)error estimate between the numerical solution and the solution of the time-discrete system is proven by a rigorous analysis,which implies that the numerical solution in L^∞-norm is bounded.Thus optimal error estimates can be obtained in a traditional way.Numerical results are provided to confirm the theoretical analysis.     

A Priori Error Estimates for State-Constrained Semilinear Parabolic Optimal Control Problems

We consider the finite element discretization of semilinear parabolic optimization problems subject to pointwise in time constraints on mean values of the state variable. In order to control the feasibility violation induced by the discretization, error estimates for the semilinear partial differential equation are derived. Based upon these estimates, it can be shown that any local minimizer of the semilinear parabolic optimization problems satisfying a weak second-order sufficient condition can be approximated by the discretized problem. Rates for this convergence in terms of temporal and spatial discretization mesh sizes are provided. In contrast to other results in numerical analysis of optimization problems subject to semilinear parabolic equations, the analysis can work with a weak second-order condition, requiring growth of the Lagrangian in critical directions only. The analysis can then be conducted relying solely on the resulting quadratic growth condition of the continuous problem, without the need for similar assumptions on the discrete or time semidiscrete setting.     

Functional A Posteriori Error Estimates for Time-Periodic Parabolic Optimal Control Problems

This article is devoted to the a posteriori error analysis of multiharmonic finite element approximations to distributed optimal control problems with time-periodic state equations of parabolic type. We derive a posteriori estimates of the functional type, which are easily computable and provide guaranteed upper bounds for the state and co-state errors as well as for the cost functional. These theoretical results are confirmed by several numerical tests that show high efficiency of the a posteriori error bounds.

A Posteriori Error Estimates of Mixed Methods for Parabolic Optimal Control Problems

In this article, we shall give a brief review on the fully discrete mixed finite element method for general optimal control problems governed by parabolic equations. The state and the co-state are approximated by the lowest order Raviart–Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is approximated by piecewise constant elements. Furthermore, we derive a posteriori error estimates for the finite element approximation solutions of optimal control problems. Some numerical examples are given to demonstrate our theoretical results.     

Multivalued Analytic Continuation of the Cauchy Transform

In this paper we introduce the notion of multivalued analytic continuation of the Cauchy transforms. Many difficulties arise because the continuation is not single-valued. Our main result asserts that if χ_Ω has a multivalued analytic continuation, then the free boundary ∂Ω has zero Lebesgue measure. Here χ_Ω is the characteristic function of a domain Ω and ∂Ω is its boundary. We also discuss the connections between this notion, quadrature domains and approximations of analytic functions with single-valued integrals by rational functions. The last problem is related to the existence of a continuous function g and a closed connected set K such that the gradient of g vanishes on K, nevertheless g is not constant on K.

Asymptotic Analysis and Optimal Error estimates for Benjamin‐Bona‐Mahony‐Burgers' Type Equations

In this article, stabilization result for the Benjamin‐Bona‐Mahony‐Burgers' (BBM‐B) equation, that is, convergence of unsteady solution to steady state solution is established under the assumption that a linearized steady state eigenvalue problem has a minimal positive eigenvalue. Based on appropriate conditions on the forcing function, exponential decay estimates in , and ‐norms are derived, which are valid uniformly with respect to the coefficient of dispersion as it tends to zero. It is, further, observed that the decay rate for the BBM‐B equation is smaller than that of the decay rate for the Burgers equation. Then, a semidiscrete Galerkin method for spatial direction keeping time variable continuous is considered and stabilization results are discussed for the semidiscrete problem. Moreover, optimal error estimates in ‐norms preserving exponential decay property are established using the steady state error estimates. For a complete discrete scheme, a backward Euler method is applied for the time discretization and stabilization results are again proved for the fully discrete problem. Subsequently, numerical experiments are conducted, which verify our theoretical results. The article is finally concluded with a brief discussion on an extension to a multidimensional nonlinear Sobolev equation with Burgers' type nonlinearity.

Error Estimates for the Approximation of a Class of Optimal Control Systems Governed by Linear PDEs

This paper deals with a class of optimal control problems in which the system is governed by a linear partial differential equation and the control is distributed and with constraints. The problem is posed in the framework of the theory of optimal control of systems. A numerical method is proposed to approximate the optimal control. In this method, the state space as well as the convex set of admissible controls are discretized. An abstract error estimate for the optimal control problem is obtained that depends on both the approximation of the state equation and the space of controls. This theoretical result is illustrated by some numerical examples from the literature.
