We construct Bernstein-type operators on a triangle with one curved side. We study univariate operators, their product and Boolean sum, as well as their interpolation properties, the order of accuracy (degree of exactness, precision set) and the remainder of the corresponding approximation formulas. We also give some illustrative examples. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010). Primary 41A3...

Observation This entire document is written in Maple 16; its related PDF file will be generated depicting the construction of a 4th-order accurate mimetic divergence, thus matching Appendix J of [3]. However, the interested reader can download this Maple worksheet, make necessary changes, and produce the appropriate tailored results: Please state the required order of accuracy (an even integer ...

In the present investigation, the fully implicit and Crank–Nicolson difference schemes for solving option prices are analyzed. It is proved that the error expansions for the difference methods have the correct form for applying Richardson extrapolation to increase the order of accuracy of the approximations. The difference methods are applied to European, American, and down-and-out knock-out ca...

In standard equispaced finite difference (FD) formulas, symmetries can make the order of accuracy relatively high compared to the number of nodes in the FD stencil. With scattered nodes, such symmetries are no longer available. Thus, the number of nodes in the stencils can be relatively large compared to the resulting accuracy. The generalization of mehrstellenverfahren (compact) FD (CFD) formu...

The abstract nonlocal boundary value problem −d2u t /dt2 Au t g t , 0 < t < 1, du t /dt − Au t f t , 1 < t < 0, u 1 u −1 μ for differential equations in a Hilbert space H with the self-adjoint positive definite operator A is considered. The well-posedness of this problem in Hölder spaces with a weight is established. The coercivity inequalities for the solution of boundary value problems for el...

The present work is concerned with the development of commutative discrete filters for unstructured grids and contains two main contributions. First, building on the work of Marsden et al. [J. Comp. Phys. 175 (2002) 584], a new commutative discrete filter based on least-squares techniques is constructed. Second, a new analysis of the discrete commutation error is carried out. The analysis indic...

Discontinuous Galerkin methods are developed for solving the Vlasov–Maxwell system, methods that are designed to be systematically as accurate as one wants with provable conservation of mass and possibly total energy. Such properties in general are hard to achieve within other numerical method frameworks for simulating the Vlasov–Maxwell system. The proposed scheme employs discontinuous Galerki...

The distributions of the largest and the smallest eigenvalues of a p-variate sample covariance matrix S are of great importance in statistics. Focusing on the null case where nS follows the standard Wishart distribution Wp(I, n), we study the accuracy of their scaling limits under the setting: n/p → γ ∈ (0,∞) as n → ∞. The limits here are the orthogonal Tracy-Widom law and its reflection about ...
