On the approximation of smooth functions using generalized digital nets

In this paper, we study an approximation algorithm which firstly approximates certain Walsh coefficients of the function under consideration and consequently uses a Walsh polynomial to approximate the function. A similar approach has previously been used for approximating periodic functions, using lattice rules (and Fourier polynomials), and for approximating functions in Walsh Korobov spaces, using digital nets. Here, the key ingredient is the use of generalized digital nets (which have recently been shown to achieve higher order convergence rates for the integration of smooth functions). This allows us to approximate functions with square integrable mixed partial derivatives of order α>1$\alpha >1$ in each variable. The approximation error is studied in the worst case setting in the _L2$L_2$ norm. We also discuss tractability of our proposed approximation algorithm, investigate its computational complexity, and present numerical examples.     

The approximation of a Crank–Nicolson scheme for the stochastic Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper we prove the convergence of stochastic Navier–Stokes equations driven by white noise. A linearized version of the implicit Crank–Nicolson scheme is considered for the approximation of the solutions to the N–S equations. The noise is defined as the distributional derivative of a Wiener process and approximated by using the generalized _L2$L_2$-projection operator. Optimal strong convergence error estimates in the _L2$L_2$ norm are obtained.     

Approximation rates for the hierarchical tensor format in periodic Sobolev spaces

In this note we estimate the asymptotic rates for the _L2$L_2$-error decay and the storage cost when approximating 2π$2\pi$-periodic, d$d$-variate functions from isotropic and mixed Sobolev classes by the recent hierarchical tensor format as introduced by Hackbusch and Kühn. To this end, we survey some results on bilinear approximation due to Temlyakov. The approach taken in this paper improves and generalizes recent results of Griebel and Harbrecht for the bi-variate case.     

The Calderón–Zygmund inequality and Sobolev spaces on noncompact Riemannian manifolds

We introduce the concept of Calderón–Zygmund inequalities on Riemannian manifolds. For 1<p<∞$1<p<\infty$, these are inequalities of the form

_{‖Hess(u)‖Lp}≤_C1‖u‖Lp+_{C2‖Δu‖Lp},${\Vert \mathrm{Hess}(u)\Vert }_{{\mathsf{L}}^p}\le C_1{\Vert u\Vert }_{{\mathsf{L}}^p}+C_2{\Vert \mathrm{\Delta }u\Vert }_{{\mathsf{L}}^p},$

valid a priori for all smooth functions u   with compact support, and constants _C1≥0$C_1\ge 0$, _C2>0$C_2>0$. Such an inequality can hold or fail, depending on the underlying Riemannian geometry. After establishing some generally valid facts and consequences of the Calderón–Zygmund inequality (like new denseness results for second order L^p${\mathsf{L}}^p$-Sobolev spaces and gradient estimates), we establish sufficient geometric criteria for the validity of these inequalities on possibly noncompact Riemannian manifolds. These results in particular apply to many noncompact hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature.     

On a family of differential operators with the coupling parameter in the boundary condition

We study a family of differential operators _Lα${\mathbf{L}}_{\alpha }$ in two variables, depending on the coupling parameter α?0$\alpha ?0$ that appears only in the boundary conditions. Our main concern is the spectral properties of _Lα${\mathbf{L}}_{\alpha }$, which turn out to be quite different for α<1$\alpha <1$ and for α>1$\alpha >1$. In particular, _Lα${\mathbf{L}}_{\alpha }$ has a unique self-adjoint realization for α<1$\alpha <1$ and many such realizations for α>1$\alpha >1$. In the more difficult case α>1$\alpha >1$ an analysis of non-elliptic pseudodifferential operators in dimension one is involved.     

Poincaré and Opial inequalities for vector-valued convolution products

Various L^p$L^p$ form Poincaré and Opial inequalities are given for vector-valued convolution products. We apply our results to infinitesimal generators of _C0$C_0$-semigroups and cosine functions. Typical examples of these operators are differential operators in Lebesgue spaces.     

Cauchy problem of Schrödinger-Improved Boussinesq Systems on the torus

In this paper, we will study the local well-posedness of Schrödinger-Improved Boussinesq System with additive noise in T^d${\mathbb{T}}^d$, d?1$d?1$, and we will also study the global well-posedness of dimension 1 case with the initial data (_u0,_v1,_v2)∈L²×L²×L²$(u_0,v_1,v_2)\in L^2\times L^2\times L^2$ almost surely, gaining some exponential growth of L²$L^2$ norm of v.     

Korn type inequalities in Orlicz spaces

We exhibit balance conditions between a Young function A and a Young function B   for a Korn type inequality to hold between the L^B$L^B$ norm of the gradient of vector-valued functions and the L^A$L^A$ norm of its symmetric part. In particular, we extend a standard form of the Korn inequality in L^p$L^p$, with 1<p<∞$1<p<\infty$, and an Orlicz version involving a Young function A   satisfying both the _Δ2${\mathrm{\Delta }}_2$ and the _∇2${\mathrm{\nabla }}_2$ condition.     

On the numerical radius of Lipschitz operators in Banach spaces

We study the numerical radius of Lipschitz operators on Banach spaces via the Lipschitz numerical index, which is an analogue of the numerical index in Banach space theory. We give a characterization of the numerical radius and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for Banach spaces to have Lipschitz numerical index 1. As an application, we show that real lush spaces and C  -rich subspaces have Lipschitz numerical index 1. Moreover, using the Gâteaux differentiability of Lipschitz operators, we characterize the Lipschitz numerical index of separable Banach spaces with the RNP. Finally, we prove that the Lipschitz numerical index has the stability properties for the _c0$c_0$-, _l1$l_1$-, and _l∞$l_{\infty }$-sums of spaces and vector-valued function spaces. From this, we show that the C(K)$C(K)$ spaces, _L1(μ)$L_1(\mu )$-spaces and _L∞(ν)$L_{\infty }(\nu )$-spaces have Lipschitz numerical index 1.     

A meshfree method for the numerical solution of the RLW equation

In this paper, we present a meshfree technique for the numerical solution of the regularized long wave (RLW) equation. This approach is based on a global collocation method using the radial basis functions (RBFs). Different kinds of RBFs are used for this purpose. Accuracy of the new method is tested in terms of _L2$L_2$ and _L∞$L_{\infty }$ error norms. In case of non-availability of the exact solution, performance of the new method is compared with existing methods. Stability analysis of the method is established. Propagation of single and double solitary waves, wave undulation, and conservation properties of mass, energy and momentum of the RLW equation are discussed.     

The finite volume method based on stabilized finite element for the stationary Navier–Stokes problem

A finite volume method based on stabilized finite element for the two-dimensional stationary Navier–Stokes equations is investigated in this work. A macroelement condition is introduced for constructing the local stabilized formulation for the problem. We obtain the well-posedness of the FVM based on stabilized finite element for the stationary Navier–Stokes equations. Moreover, for quadrilateral and triangular partition, the optimal H¹$H^1$ error estimate of the finite volume solution _uh$u_h$ and L²$L^2$ error estimate for _ph$p_h$ are introduced. Finally, we provide a numerical example to confirm the efficiency of the FVM.     

Müntz-type theorems on the half-line with weights

We consider the linear span S   of the functions t^_ak$t^{a_k}$ (with some _ak>0$a_k>0$) in weighted L²$L^2$ spaces, with rather general weights. We give one necessary and one sufficient condition for S to be dense. Some comparisons are also made between the new results and those that can be deduced from older ones in the literature.     

Viscosity approximation to common fixed points of families of nonexpansive mappings with generalized contractions mappings

Let X$X$ be a reflexive and smooth real Banach space which has a weakly sequentially continuous duality mapping. In this paper, we consider the following viscosity approximation scheme _xn+1=_λn+1f(_xn)+(1−_λn+1)_Tn+1xn$x_{n+1}={\lambda }_{n+1}f\left(x_n\right)+(1-{\lambda }_{n+1})T_{n+1}{x}_n$ (where f$f$ is a generalized contraction mapping) for infinitely many nonexpansive self-mappings _T1,_T2,_T3,…$T_1,T_2,T_3,\dots$ in X$X$. We establish a strong convergence result which generalizes some results in the literature.     

Uniform weak tractability of multivariate problems with increasing smoothness

We study d$d$-variate approximation problems with varying regularity with respect to successive variables. The varying regularity is described by a sequence of real numbers _{rk}k∈N${\left\{r_k\right\}}_{k\in \mathbb{N}}$ satisfying

0≤_r1≤_r2≤_r3≤?.$0\le r_1\le r_2\le r_3\le ?\text{.}$

We mainly consider algorithms that use finitely many continuous linear functionals. In the worst case setting we study approximation problems defined over suitable Korobov and Sobolev spaces. In the average case setting we study approximation problems defined over the space of continuous functions C([0,1]^d)$C\left({[0,1]}^d\right)$ equipped with a zero-mean Gaussian measure whose covariance operator is given by an Euler or Wiener integrated process. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions on uniform weak tractability of those problems in terms of their regularity parameters _{rk}k∈N${\left\{r_k\right\}}_{k\in \mathbb{N}}$.     

Characterization of an extremal sum of ridge functions

The approximation problem considered in the paper is to approximate a continuous multivariate function f(x)=f(_x1,…,_xd)$f(\mathbf{x})=f(x_1,\dots ,x_d)$ by sums of two ridge functions in the uniform norm. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a sum of two ridge functions to be a best approximation to f(x)$f(\mathbf{x})$. This main result is next used in a special case to obtain an explicit formula for the approximation error and to construct one best approximation. The problem of well approximation by such sums is also considered.     

The strong approximation property and the weak bounded approximation property

We show that the strong approximation property (strong AP) (respectively, strong CAP) and the weak bounded approximation property (respectively, weak BCAP) are equivalent for every Banach space. This gives a negative answer to Oja's conjecture. As a consequence, we show that each of the spaces _c0$c_0$ and _?1${?}_1$ has a subspace which has the AP but fails to have the strong AP.
