There are three main observations which make up the proof. The first observation, discussed in Section 2, is that convex co-compact subgroups of a fundamental group of a hyperbolic 3-manifold N persist in the approximates given by hyperbolic Dehn surgery. This result is stated formally as Proposition 2.1. The second observation, discussed in Section 4, is that a collection of distinct hyperboli...

We show that the aspherical manifolds produced via the relative strict hyperbolization of polyhedra enjoy many group-theoretic and topological properties of open finite volume negatively pinched manifolds, including relative hyperbolicity, nonvanishing of simplicial volume, co-Hopf property, finiteness of outer automorphism group, absence of splitting over elementary subgroups, acylindricity, a...

Let Y\ßf be a finite volume symmetric space with %? the product of half planes. Let A, be the Laplacian on the ¡th half plane, and assume that we have a cusp form , so we have A, = X¡ for i = 1, 2, ... , n . Let A = (Ai,..., An) and let R = \/>-\ + ■ ■ ■ + r2„ with rj + j = A, . Letting r = (ri.rn), we let M(r) denote the dimension of the space of cusp forms with eigenvalue A. More gen...

We apply the finite volume method to a spherically symmetric conservation law of advection-diffusion-reaction type. For the numerical flux we use the so-called complete flux scheme. In this scheme the flux is computed from a local boundary value problem for the complete equation, including the source term. As a result, the numerical flux is the superposition of a homogeneous flux and an inhomog...

A semidiscrete finite volume element(FVE) approximation to parabolic integrodifferential equation(PIDE) is analyzed in a two-dimensional convex polygonal domain. Optimal order L-error estimates are derived for both smooth and nonsmooth initial data. More precisely, for homogeneous equations, an elementary energy technique and duality argument is used to derive optimal L-error estimate of order ...

In this paper we present a stable hybrid scheme for viscous problems. The hybrid method combines the unstructured finite volume method with high-order finite difference methods in complex geometries. The coupling procedure between the two numerical methods is based on energy estimates and stable interface conditions are constructed. Numerical calculations show that the hybrid method is efficien...

Greg McShane introduced a remarkable identity for lengths of simple closed geodesics on the once punctured torus with a complete, finite volume hyperbolic structure. Bowditch later generalized this and gave sufficient conditions for the identity to hold for general type-preserving representations of a free group on two generators Γ to SL(2,C). In this note we extend Bowditch’s result by giving ...

An industrial scheme, to simulate the two compressible phase flow in porous media, consists in a finite volume method together with a phase-by-phase upstream scheme. The implicit finite volume scheme satisfies industrial constraints of robustness. We show that the proposed scheme satisfy the maximum principle for the saturation, a discrete energy estimate on the pressures and a function of the ...

An improved front tracking method for hyperbolic conservation laws is presented. The improved method accurately resolves discontinuities as well as continuous phenomena. The method is based on an improved front interaction model for a physically more accurate modeling of the Euler equations, as compared to standard front tracking methods. The resulting algorithm is also more efficient than exis...
