Some New A Priori Estimates for Second-Order Elliptic and Parabolic Interface Problems

We present some new a priori estimates of the solutions to the second-order elliptic and parabolic interface problems. The novelty of these estimates lies in the explicit appearance of the discontinuous coefficients and the jumps of coefficients across the interface.     

On a Constrained Optimal Rule for Classification with Unknown Prior Individual Group Membership

We describe a formal approach to constructing the optimal classification rule for classification analysis with unknown prior probabilities ofKmultivariate normal populations membership. This is done by suggesting a balanced design for the classification experiment and by constructing the optimal rule under the balanced design condition. The rule is characterized by a constrained minimization of total risk of misclassification; the constraint of the rule is constructed by a process of equalization among expected utilities ofKpopulation conditional densities. The efficacy of the suggested rule is examined through numerical studies. This indicates that dramatic gains in the accuracy of classification result can be achieved in the case where little is known about the relative population sizes.     

The constrained equal loss rule in problems with constraints and claims

In this article I study how to distribute a resource among different agents claiming on it, according to the equal loss principle, when there are some constraints in the problem. I introduce one single-valued rule. Some properties of this rule are given as well as an axiomatic characterization.     

A Multigrid Scheme for Elliptic Constrained Optimal Control Problems

A multigrid scheme for the solution of constrained optimal control problems discretized by finite differences is presented. This scheme is based on a new relaxation procedure that satisfies the given constraints pointwise on the computational grid. In applications, the cases of distributed and boundary control problems with box constraints are considered. The efficient and robust computational performance of the present multigrid scheme allows to investigate bang-bang control problems.AMS Subject Classification: 49J20, 65N06, 65N12, 65N55Supported in part by the SFB 03 “Optimization and Control”

Modification of the Banzhaf Value for Games with a Coalition Structure

In this paper we introduce a new coalitional value in the context of TU games with an a priori system of unions, which it is called the symmetric coalitional Banzhaf value. This value satisfies the property of symmetry in the quotient game, the quotient game property, and it is a coalitional value of Banzhaf. Several characterizations are provided and two political examples illustrate the differences with respect to the Owen value and the Banzhaf–Owen value.

A Finite Difference Scheme on a Priori Adapted Meshes for a Singularly Perturbed Parabolic Convection-Diffusion Equation

A boundary value problem is considered for a singularly perturbed parabolic convection-diffusion equation;we construct a finite difference scheme on a priori (se-quentially) adapted meshes and study its convergence.The scheme on a priori adapted meshes is constructed using a majorant function for the singular component of the discrete solution,which allows us to find a priori a subdomain where the computed solution requires a further improvement.This subdomain is defined by the perturbation parameterε,the step-size of a uniform mesh in x,and also by the required accuracy of the discrete solution and the prescribed number of refinement iterations K for im- proving the solution.To solve the discrete problems aimed at the improvement of the solution,we use uniform meshes on the subdomains.The error of the numerical so- lution depends weakly on the parameterε.The scheme converges almostε-uniformly, precisely,under the condition N~(-1)=o(ε~v),where N denotes the number of nodes in the spatial mesh,and the value v=v(K) can be chosen arbitrarily small for suitable K.     

Backward Error Bounds for Constrained Least Squares Problems

We derive an upper bound on the normwise backward error of an approximate solution to the equality constrained least squares problem min _Bx=d b – Ax₂. Instead of minimizing over the four perturbations to A, b, B and d, we fix those to B and d and minimize over the remaining two; we obtain an explicit solution of this simplified minimization problem. Our experiments show that backward error bounds of practical use are obtained when B and d are chosen as the optimal normwise relative backward perturbations to the constraint system, and we find that when the bounds are weak they can be improved by direct search optimization. We also derive upper and lower backward error bounds for the problem of least squares minimization over a sphere: .     

A priori and a posteriori error analysis for the mixed discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximations of the biharmonic problems

In this article, a new mixed discontinuous Galerkin finite element method is proposed for the biharmonic equation in two or three‐dimension space. It is amenable to an efficient implementation displaying new convergence properties. Through an auxiliary variable , we rewrite the problem into a two‐order system. Then, the a priori error estimates are derived in L² norm and in the broken DG norm for both u and p. We prove that, when polynomials of degree r () are used, we obtain the optimal convergence rate of order r + 1 in L² norm and of order r in DG norm for u, and the order r in both norms for . The numerical experiments illustrate the theoretic order of convergence. For the purpose of adaptive finite element method, the a posteriori error estimators are also proposed and proved to field a sharp upper bound. We also provide numerical evidence that the error estimators and indicators can effectively drive the adaptive strategies. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Global Convergence of a Modified Gradient Projection Method for Convex Constrained Problems

In this paper, the continuously differentiable optimization problem min{f（x） ： x∈Ω}, where Ω ∈ R^n is a nonempty closed convex set, the gradient projection method by Calamai and More （Math. Programming, Vol.39. P.93-116, 1987） is modified by memory gradient to improve the convergence rate of the gradient projection method is considered. The convergence of the new method is analyzed without assuming that the iteration sequence {x^k} of bounded. Moreover, it is shown that, when f（x） is pseudo-convex （quasiconvex） function, this new method has strong convergence results. The numerical results show that the method in this paper is more effective than the gradient projection method.

On $L^2$-Stability Analysis of Time-Domain Acoustic Scattering Problems with Exact Nonreflecting Boundary Conditions

This paper is devoted to stability analysis of the acoustic wave equation exterior to a bounded scatterer, where the unbounded computational domain is truncated by the exact time-domain circular/spherical nonreflecting boundary condition (NRBC). Different from the usual energy method, we adopt an argument that leads to $L^2$-a priori estimates with minimum regularity requirement for the initial data and source term. This needs some delicate analysis of the involved NRBC. These results play an essential role in the error analysis of the interior solvers (e.g., finite-element/spectral- element/spectral methods) for the reduced scattering problems. We also apply the technique to analyze a time-domain waveguide problem.
