We consider a second-order elliptic eigenvalue problem on a convex polygonal domain, divided in M nonoverlapping subdomains. The conormal derivative of the unknown function is continuous on the interfaces, while the function itself is discontinuous. We present a general finite element method to obtain a numerical solution of the eigenvalue problem, starting from a nonstandard formally equivalen...

We investigate in this paper the numerical performances of quadratic functional quantization with some applications to Finance. We emphasize the rôle played by the so-called product quantizers and the Karhunen-Loève expansion of Gaussian processes, in particular the Brownian motion. We show how to build some efficient functional quantizers for Brownian diffusions. We propose a quadrature formul...

We provide an algorithm to compute the nodes and weights for Gauss-Chebyshev quadrature formulas integrating exactly in spaces of rational functions with arbitrary real poles outside [−1, 1]. Contrary to existing rational quadrature formulas, the computational effort is very low, even for extremely high degrees, and under certain conditions on the poles it can be shown that the complexity is of...

We continue with analyzing quadrature formulas of high degree of precision for computing the Fourier coefficients in expansions of functions with respect to a system of orthogonal polynomials, started recently by Bojanov and Petrova [Quadrature formulae for Fourier coefficients, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 231 (2009), 378–391] and we extend their results. Construction of new Gaussian quadrature form...

This paper examines the relationship between the degree of uniformity of distribution of grids, including Smolyak grids, with the intention of choosing weights to obtain efficient quadrature formulas.

Consider a hermitian positive-definite linear functional F, and assume we have m distinct nodes fixed in advance anywhere on the real line. In this paper we then study the existence and construction of nth rational Gauss-Radau (m = 1) and Gauss-Lobatto (m = 2) quadrature formulas that approximate F{f}. These are quadrature formulas with n positive weights and with the n−m remaining nodes real a...

We show how to combine incidence matrices, which admit Hermite-Birkhoff quadrature formulas of Gaussian type for any positive measure, in such a way that the resulting matrix also admits Gaussian type quadratures for any positive measure. Moreover, the uniqueness property and the extremal property of the formulas corresponding to the submatrices are transferred to the formula admitted by the co...

The numerical analysis of variational integrators relies on variational error analysis, which relates the order of accuracy of a variational integrator with the order of approximation of the exact discrete Lagrangian by a computable discrete Lagrangian. The exact discrete Lagrangian can either be characterized variationally, or in terms of Jacobi’s solution of the Hamilton– Jacobi equation. The...

Abstract. A series of papers have treated the frequency analysis problem by studying the zeros of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle with respect to measures determined by observations of the signal. In the recent paper [3], a different approach was used, where properties of Szegő quadrature formulas associated with the zeros of paraorthogonal polynomials with respect to the same measure...

A generalization of the pre-Grüss inequality is presented. It is applied to estimations of remainders of some quadrature formulas.
