Estimating the matrixp-norm

Summary The Hölderp-norm of anm×n matrix has no explicit representation unlessp=1,2 or . It is shown here that thep-norm can be estimated reliably inO(mn) operations. A generalization of the power method is used, with a starting vector determined by a technique with a condition estimation flavour. The algorithm nearly always computes ap-norm estimate correct to the specified accuracy, and the estimate is always within a factorn ^1–1/p of A _p . As a by-product, a new way is obtained to estimate the 2-norm of a rectangular matrix; this method is more general and produces better estimates in practice than a similar technique of Cline, Conn and Van Loan.

Existence of generic homoclinic tangencies for henon mappings

Efficient parallel algorithms for shortest paths in planar digraphs

Efficient parallel algorithms are presented, on the CREW PRAM model, for generating a succinct encoding of all pairs shortest path information in a directed planar graphG with real-valued edge costs but no negative cycles. We assume that a planar embedding ofG is given, together with a set ofq faces that cover all the vertices. Then our algorithm runs inO(log² n) time and employsO(nq+M(q)) processors (whereM(t) is the number of processors required to multiply twot×t matrices inO(logt) time). Let us note here that wheneverq<n then our processor bound is better than the best previous one (M(n)).O(log² n) time,n-processor algorithms are presented for various subproblems, including that of generating all pairs shortest path information in a directedouterplanar graph. Our work is based on the fundamental hammock-decomposition technique of G. Frederickson. We achieve this decomposition inO(logn log*n) parallel time by usingO(n) processors. The hammock-decomposition seems to be a fundamental operation that may help in improving efficiency of many parallel (and sequential) graph algorithms.This work was partially supported by the EEC ESPRIT Basic Research Action No. 3075 (ALCOM) and by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Technology of Greece.     

Convergence rate estimate for a domain decomposition method

Summary We provide a convergence rate analysis for a variant of the domain decomposition method introduced by Gropp and Keyes for solving the algebraic equations that arise from finite element discretization of nonsymmetric and indefinite elliptic problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions in ². We show that the convergence rate of the preconditioned GMRES method is nearly optimal in the sense that the rate of convergence depends only logarithmically on the mesh size and the number of substructures, if the global coarse mesh is fine enough.This author was supported by the National Science Foundation under contract numbers DCR-8521451 and ECS-8957475, by the IBM Corporation, and by the 3M Company, while in residence at Yale UniversityThis author was supported by the Applied Mathematical Sciences subprogram of the Office of Energy Research, U.S. Department of Energy under Contract W-31-109-Eng-38This author was supported by the National Science Foundation under contract number ECS-8957475, by the IBM Corporation, and by the 3M Company

Optical characterization of thin thermal oxide films on copper by ellipsometry

A complete optical characterization in the visible region of thin copper oxide films has been performed by ellipsometry. Copper oxide films of various thicknesses were grown on thick copper films by low temperature thermal oxidation at 125 °C in air for different time intervals. The thickness and optical constants of the copper oxide films were determined in the visible region by ellipsometric measurements. It was found that a linear time law is valid for the oxide growth in air at 125 °C. The spectral behaviour of the optical constants and the value of the band gap in the oxide films determined by ellipsometry in this study are in agreement with the behaviour of those of Cu₂O, which have been obtained elsewhere through reflectance and transmittance methods. The band gap of copper oxide, determined from the spectral behaviour of the absorption coefficient was about 2 eV, which is the generally accepted value for Cu₂O. It was therefore concluded that the oxide composition of the surface film grown on copper is in the form of Cu₂O (cuprous oxide). It was also shown that the reflectance spectra of the copper oxide–copper structures exhibit behaviour expected from a single layer antireflection coating of Cu₂O on Cu.
