Many applications require the solution of large nonsymmetric linear systems with multiple right-hand sides. Instead of applying an iterative method to each of these systems individually, it is often more eecient to use a block version of the method that generates iterates for all the systems simultaneously. In this paper, we propose block versions of Galerkin/minimal residual pair of bidiagonal...

We develop and analyze a Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method based on weighted interior penalties (WIP) applied to second order PDEs and in particular to advection-diffusion-reaction equations featuring non-smooth and possibly vanishing diffusivity. First of all, looking at the derivation of a DG scheme with a bias to domain decomposition methods, we carefully discuss the set up of the discretiz...

We study the Newton method and a fixed-point method for solving the system of nonlinear equations arising from the Sinc-Galerkin discretization of the Burgers equations. In each step of the Newton method or the fixedpoint method, a structured subsystem of linear equations is obtained and needs to be solved numerically. In this paper, preconditioning techniques are applied to solve such linear s...

Axially moving strips are frequently encountered in industry for various applications. On the one hand, accurate models of transverse displacements of strips are desired for plant design and safety or reliability reasons. On the other hand, the models may serve as a basis for model-based controller and observer design. For the latter also, the complexity of the models should be as low as possib...
