• A numerical method for solving shortest path problems
• Authors: M. H. Noori Skandari; M. Ghaznavi
Abstract: Chebyshev pseudo-spectral method is one of the most efficient methods for solving continuous-time optimization problems. In this paper, we utilize this method to solve the general form of shortest path problem. Here, the main problem is converted into a nonlinear programming problem and by solving of which, we obtain an approximate shortest path. The feasibility of the nonlinear programming problem and the convergence of the method are given. Finally, some numerical examples are considered to show the efficiency of the presented method over the other methods.

• An extended nonsymmetric block Lanczos method for model reduction in large
scale dynamical systems
• Authors: H. Barkouki; A. H. Bentbib; M. Heyouni; K. Jbilou
Abstract: In this paper, we propose an extended block Krylov process to construct two biorthogonal bases for the extended Krylov subspaces $$\mathbb {K}_{m}^e(A,V)$$ and $$\mathbb {K}_{m}^e(A^{T},W)$$ , where $$A \in \mathbb {R}^{n \times n}$$ and $$V,~W \in \mathbb {R}^{n \times p}$$ . After deriving some new theoretical results and algebraic properties, we apply the proposed algorithm with moment matching techniques for model reduction in large scale dynamical systems. Numerical experiments for large and sparse problems are given to show the efficiency of the proposed method.

• A Neumann series of Bessel functions representation for solutions of
Sturm–Liouville equations
• Authors: Vladislav V. Kravchenko; Sergii M. Torba
Abstract: A Neumann series of Bessel functions (NSBF) representation for solutions of Sturm–Liouville equations and for their derivatives is obtained. The representation possesses an attractive feature for applications: for all real values of the spectral parameter $$\omega$$ the estimate of the difference between the exact solution and the approximate one (the truncated NSBF) depends on N (the truncation parameter) and the coefficients of the equation and does not depend on $$\omega$$ . A similar result is valid when $$\omega \in {\mathbb {C}}$$ belongs to a strip $$\left \hbox {Im }\omega \right <C$$ . This feature makes the NSBF representation especially useful for applications requiring computation of solutions for large intervals of $$\omega$$ . Error and decay rate estimates are obtained. An algorithm for solving initial value, boundary value or spectral problems for the Sturm–Liouville equation is developed and illustrated on a test problem.

• A locking-free stabilized mixed finite element method for linear
elasticity: the high order case
• Authors: Bei Zhang; Jikun Zhao; Shaochun Chen; Yongqin Yang
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a locking-free stabilized mixed finite element method for the linear elasticity problem, which employs a jump penalty term for the displacement approximation. The continuous piecewise k-order polynomial space is used for the stress and the discontinuous piecewise $$(k-1)$$ -order polynomial space for the displacement, where we require that $$k\ge 3$$ in the two dimensions and $$k\ge 4$$ in the three dimensions. The method is proved to be stable and k-order convergent for the stress in $$H(\mathrm {div})$$ -norm and for the displacement in $$L^2$$ -norm. Further, the convergence does not deteriorate in the nearly incompressible or incompressible case. Finally, the numerical results are presented to illustrate the optimal convergence of the stabilized mixed method.

• Nonlinear Galerkin methods for a system of PDEs with Turing instabilities
• Authors: Konstantinos Spiliotis; Lucia Russo; Francesco Giannino; Salvatore Cuomo; Constantinos Siettos; Gerardo Toraldo
Abstract: We address and discuss the application of nonlinear Galerkin methods for the model reduction and numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDE) with Turing instabilities in comparison with standard (linear) Galerkin methods. The model considered is a system of PDEs modelling the pattern formation in vegetation dynamics. In particular, by constructing the approximate inertial manifold on the basis of the spectral decomposition of the solution, we implement the so-called Euler–Galerkin method and we compare its efficiency and accuracy versus the linear Galerkin methods. We compare the efficiency of the methods by (a) the accuracy of the computed bifurcation points, and, (b) by the computation of the Hausdorff distance between the limit sets obtained by the Galerkin methods and the ones obtained with a reference finite difference scheme. The efficiency with respect to the required CPU time is also accessed. For our illustrations we used three different ODE time integrators, from the Matlab ODE suite. Our results indicate that the performance of the Euler–Galerkin method is superior compared to the linear Galerkin method when either explicit or linearly implicit time integration scheme are adopted. For the particular problem considered, we found that the dimension of approximate inertial manifold is strongly affected by the lenght of the spatial domain. Indeeed, we show that the number of modes required to accurately describe the long time Turing pattern forming solutions increases as the domain increases.

• On the dense unbounded divergence of interpolatory product integration on
Jacobi nodes
• Authors: Alexandru I. Mitrea
Abstract: This paper deals with interpolatory product integration rules based on Jacobi nodes, associated with the Banach space of all s-times continuously differentiable functions, and with a Banach space of absolutely integrable functions, on the interval $$[-1,1]$$ of the real axis. In order to highlight the topological structure of the set of unbounded divergence for the corresponding product quadrature formulas, a family of continuous linear operators associated with these product integration procedures is pointed out, and the unboundedness of the set of their norms is established, by means of some properties involving the theory of Jacobi polynomials. The main result of the paper is based on some principles of Functional Analysis, and emphasizes the phenomenon of double condensation of singularities with respect to the considered interpolatory product quadrature formulas, by pointing out large subsets (in topological meaning) of the considered Banach spaces, on which the quadrature procedures are unboundedly divergent.

• Two-parameter TSCSP method for solving complex symmetric system of linear
equations
• Authors: Davod Khojasteh Salkuyeh; Tahereh Salimi Siahkolaei
Abstract: We introduce a two-parameter version of the two-step scale-splitting iteration method, called TTSCSP, for solving a broad class of complex symmetric system of linear equations. We present some conditions for the convergence of the method. An upper bound for the spectral radius of the method is presented and optimal parameters which minimize this bound are given. Inexact version of the TTSCSP iteration method (ITTSCSP) is also presented. Some numerical experiments are reported to verify the effectiveness of the TTSCSP iteration method and the numerical results are compared with those of the TSCSP, the SCSP and the PMHSS iteration methods. Numerical comparison of the ITTSCSP method with the inexact version of TSCSP, SCSP and PMHSS are presented. We also compare the numerical results of the BiCGSTAB method in conjunction with the TTSCSP and the ILU preconditioners.

• Unified convergence analysis for Picard iteration in n -dimensional vector
spaces
• Authors: Petko D. Proinov
Abstract: In this paper, we provide three types of general convergence theorems for Picard iteration in n-dimensional vector spaces over a valued field. These theorems can be used as tools to study the convergence of some particular Picard-type iterative methods. As an application, we present a new semilocal convergence theorem for the one-dimensional Newton method for approximating all the zeros of a polynomial simultaneously. This result improves in several directions the previous one given by Batra (BIT Numer Math 42:467–476, 2002).

• Cubature formulae for nearly singular and highly oscillating integrals
• Authors: Donatella Occorsio; Giada Serafini
Abstract: The paper deals with the approximation of integrals of the type \begin{aligned} I(f;{\mathbf {t}})=\int _{{\mathrm {D}}} f({\mathbf {x}}) {\mathbf {K}}({\mathbf {x}},{\mathbf {t}}) {\mathbf {w}}({\mathbf {x}}) d{\mathbf {x}},\quad \quad {\mathbf {x}}=(x_1,x_2),\quad {\mathbf {t}}\in \mathrm {T}\subseteq \mathbb {R}^p, \ p\in \{1,2\} \end{aligned} where $${\mathrm {D}}=[-\,1,1]^2$$ , f is a function defined on $${\mathrm {D}}$$ with possible algebraic singularities on $$\partial {\mathrm {D}}$$ , $${\mathbf {w}}$$ is the product of two Jacobi weight functions, and the kernel $${\mathbf {K}}$$ can be of different kinds. We propose two cubature rules determining conditions under which the rules are stable and convergent. Along the paper we diffusely treat the numerical approximation for kernels which can be nearly singular and/or highly oscillating, by using a bivariate dilation technique. Some numerical examples which confirm the theoretical estimates are also proposed.

• Optimal vorticity accuracy in an efficient velocity–vorticity method for
the 2D Navier–Stokes equations
• Authors: M. Akbas; L. G. Rebholz; C. Zerfas
Abstract: We study a velocity–vorticity scheme for the 2D incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, which is based on a formulation that couples the rotation form of the momentum equation with the vorticity equation, and a temporal discretization that stably decouples the system at each time step and allows for simultaneous solving of the vorticity equation and velocity–pressure system (thus if special care is taken in its implementation, the method can have no extra cost compared to common velocity–pressure schemes). This scheme was recently shown to be unconditionally long-time $$H^1$$ stable for both velocity and vorticity, which is a property not shared by any common velocity–pressure method. Herein, we analyze the scheme’s convergence, and prove that it yields unconditional optimal accuracy for both velocity and vorticity, thus making it advantageous over common velocity–pressure schemes if the vorticity variable is of interest. Numerical experiments are given that illustrate the theory and demonstrate the scheme’s usefulness on some benchmark problems.

• Some error analysis on virtual element methods
• Authors: Long Chen; Jianguo Huang
Abstract: Some error analyses on virtual element methods (VEMs) including inverse inequalities, norm equivalence, and interpolation error estimates are developed for polygonal meshes, each element of which admits a virtual quasi-uniform triangulation. This sub-mesh regularity covers the usual ones used for theoretical analysis of VEMs, and the proofs are presented by means of standard technical tools in finite element methods.

• Image reconstruction from scattered Radon data by weighted positive
definite kernel functions
• Authors: S. De Marchi; A. Iske; G. Santin
Abstract: We propose a novel kernel-based method for image reconstruction from scattered Radon data. To this end, we employ generalized Hermite–Birkhoff interpolation by positive definite kernel functions. For radial kernels, however, a straightforward application of the generalized Hermite–Birkhoff interpolation method fails to work, as we prove in this paper. To obtain a well-posed reconstruction scheme for scattered Radon data, we introduce a new class of weighted positive definite kernels, which are symmetric but not radially symmetric. By our construction, the resulting weighted kernels are combinations of radial positive definite kernels and positive weight functions. This yields very flexible image reconstruction methods, which work for arbitrary distributions of Radon lines. We develop suitable representations for the weighted basis functions and the symmetric positive definite kernel matrices that are resulting from the proposed reconstruction scheme. For the relevant special case, where Gaussian radial kernels are combined with Gaussian weights, explicit formulae for the weighted Gaussian basis functions and the kernel matrices are given. Supporting numerical examples are finally presented.

• An inexact Newton method for solving complementarity problems in
hydrodynamic lubrication
• Authors: Francesco Mezzadri; Emanuele Galligani
Abstract: We present an iterative procedure based on a damped inexact Newton iteration for solving linear complementarity problems. We introduce the method in the framework of a popular problem arising in mechanical engineering: the analysis of cavitation in lubricated contacts. In this context, we show how the perturbation and the damping parameter are chosen in our method and we prove the global convergence of the entire procedure. A Fortran implementation of the method is finally analyzed. First, we validate the procedure and analyze all its components, performing also a comparison with a recently proposed technique based on the Fischer–Burmeister–Newton iteration. Then, we solve a 2D problem and provide some insights on an efficient implementation of the method exploiting routines of the Lapack and of the PETSc packages for the solution of inner linear systems.

• Comments on “A three-term derivative-free projection method for
nonlinear monotone system of equations”
• Authors: J. K. Liu; S. J. Li
Pages: 1213 - 1215
Abstract: In this note, we show that the proof of Remark 3 of Lemma 3.2 in “A three-term derivative-free projection method for nonlinear monotone system of equations” (Calcolo 53:427–450, 2016) is not correct, which implies that the conclusion of Remark 3 is not appropriate to prove Theorem 3.1. A new proof of Remark 3 is established, which guarantees the corresponding global convergence Theorem 3.1. Throughout, we use the same notations and equation numbers as in the above reference.

• Comparison results for K -nonnegative double splittings of K -monotone
matrices
• Authors: Caixun Wang
Pages: 1293 - 1303
Abstract: This paper introduces the K-nonnegative double splitting of a K-monotone matrix using knowledge of the matrices that leave a cone $$K\subseteq \mathbb {R}^n$$ invariant. The convergence of this splitting is studied. Comparison theorems for two K-nonnegative double splittings of a K-monotone matrix are obtained. The results generalize the corresponding results introduced by Song and Song (Calcolo 48:245–260, 2011) for nonnegative double splitting. Some examples are provided to illustrate the main results.

• A phase-field model for liquid–gas mixtures: mathematical modelling and
discontinuous Galerkin discretization
• Authors: Elisabetta Repossi; Riccardo Rosso; Marco Verani
Pages: 1339 - 1377
Abstract: To model a liquid–gas mixture, in this article we propose a phase-field approach that might also provide a description of the expansion stage of a metal foam inside a hollow mold. We conceive the mixture as a two-phase incompressible–compressible fluid governed by a Navier–Stokes–Cahn–Hilliard system of equations, and we adapt the Lowengrub–Truskinowsky model to take into account the expansion of the gaseous phase. The resulting system of equations is characterized by a velocity field that fails to be divergence-free, by a logarithmic term for the pressure that enters in the Gibbs free-energy expression and by the viscosity that degenerates in the gas phase. In the second part of the article we propose an energy-based numerical scheme that, at the discrete level, preserves the mass conservation property and the energy dissipation law of the original system. We use a discontinuous Galerkin approximation for the spatial approximation and a modified midpoint based scheme for the time approximation.

• A real structure-preserving method for the quaternion LU decomposition,
revisited
• Authors: Ying Li; Musheng Wei; Fengxia Zhang; Jianli Zhao
Abstract: In a paper published in 2013, Wang and Ma proposed a structure-preserving algorithm for computing the quaternion LU decomposition. They claimed that it was faster than the LU decomposition implemented in the quaternion Toolbox for Matlab (QTFM). But in 2015, Sangwine, one of the authors of QTFM, pointed out that the tests carried out by him did not support Wang and Ma’s claim. We studied the structure-preserving algorithm of Wang and Ma, and found that the computations were based on element to element operations. In this paper, we re-propose real structure-preserving methods for the quaternion LU decomposition and partial pivoting quaternion LU decomposition, which make full use of high-level operations, and relation of operations between quaternion matrices and their real representation matrices. These algorithms are more efficient than that in QTFM using quaternion arithmetics. Numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the real structure-preserving method.

• Critical lengths of cycloidal spaces are zeros of Bessel functions
• Authors: J. M. Carnicer; E. Mainar; J. M. Peña
Abstract: Cycloidal spaces are generated by the trigonometric polynomials of degree one and algebraic polynomials. The critical length of a cycloidal space is the supremum of the lengths of the intervals on which the Hermite interpolation problems are unisolvent. The critical length is related with the critical length for design purposes in computer-aided geometric design. This paper shows an unexpected connection of critical lengths with the zeros of Bessel functions. We prove that the half of the critical length of a cycloidal space is the first positive zero of a Bessel function of the first kind.
