Let Q be the Q-matrixof an irreducible, positive recurrent Markov process on a countable state space. We show that, under a number of conditions, the stationary distributions of the n × n north-west corner augmentations of Q converge in total variation to the stationary distribution of the process. Twoconditions guaranteeing such convergence include exponential ergodicity and stochastic monoton...

The solution of elliptic boundary value problems often leads to singularities due to nonsmoothness of the domains on which the problem is posed. This paper studies the performance of the nonconforming hp/spectral element method for elliptic problems on non smooth domains. This paper deals with monotone singularities of type rα and rα log r as well as the oscillating singularities of type rα sin...

We first consider an auxiliary problem for the generalized mixed vector equilibrium problem with a relaxed monotone mapping and prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution for the auxiliary problem. We then introduce a new iterative scheme for approximating a common element of the set of solutions of a generalized mixed vector equilibrium problem with a relaxed monotone mapping and the s...

We review some methods for the numerical approximation of time dependent and steady first order Hamilton Jacobi equations. Most of the discussion focuses on conformal triangular type meshes but we show how to extend this to the most general meshes. We review some first order monotone schemes and also high order ones specially dedicated to steady problems.

Replace the sentence preceding the formula (1.21) by The monotone LCP—the qualifier ”monotone” is implicit throughout this book—is the problem of finding vectors x and s in I R that satisfy the following conditions: 4. page 13, line −12: delete “o...

In this work, an initial value problem is discussed for a fractional differential equation of variable-order. By means of some analysis techniques and Arzela-Ascoli theorem, existence result of solution is obtained; Using the upper solutions and lower solutions and monotone iterative method, uniqueness existence results of solutions are obtained.
