Let X,Y be Banach spaces and consider the w′-topology (the dual weak operator topology) on the space (L(X,Y ), ‖.‖) of bounded linear operators from X into X with the uniform operator norm. L ′ (X,Y ) is the space of all T ∈ L(X,Y ) for which there exists a sequence of compact linear operators (Tn) ⊂ K(X,Y ) such that T = w′ − limnTn.

We present a new approach for the construction of lower bounds for the inf-sup stability constants required in a posteriori error analysis of reduced basis approximations to affinely parametrized partial differential equations. We combine the “linearized” inf-sup statement of the natural–norm approach with the approximation procedure of the Successive Constraint Method (SCM): the former (natura...

“Discrete Duality Finite Volume” schemes (DDFV for short) on general 2D meshes, in particular non conforming ones, are studied for the Stokes problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The DDFV method belongs to the class of staggered schemes since the components of the velocity and the pressure are approximated on different meshes. In this paper, we investigate from a numerical and theoretica...

The goal of this research is to study the performance ofmeshless approximations and their integration. Two diffuse shape functions, namely the moving least-squares and local maximum-entropy function, and a linear triangular interpolation are compared using Gaussian integration and the stabilized conforming nodal integration scheme. The shape functions and integration schemes are tested on two e...

Green Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes (PeLEDs) have attracted wide attention for full spectrum displays. However, the inferior film morphology and luminescence property of quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskite layers limit photoelectric PeLEDs. In this paper, effect strontium (Sr) doped in quasi-2D is investigated to obtain a high-quality active layer. The morphologies optical properties...

This paper addresses the evaluation of the inf–sup condition for Reissner–Mindlin plate bending elements. This fundamental condition for stability and optimality of a mixed nite element scheme is, in general, very di cult to evaluate analytically, considering for example distorted meshes. Therefore, we develop a numerical test methodology. To demonstrate the test methodology and to obtain speci...

In this paper, we study two-player zero-sum turn-based games played on a finite multidimensional weighted graph. In recent papers all dimensions use the same measure, whereas here we allow to combine different measures. Such heterogeneous multidimensional quantitative games provide a general and natural model for the study of reactive system synthesis. We focus on classical measures like the In...

W. L. Bynum introduced the weakly convergent sequence coefficient WCS(A') of the Banach space X as WCS(Jf) = sup{M: for each weakly convergent sequence {xn} in X , there is some y e co({x«}) such that M • lim sup ||x,, y\\ < A({x„})} . We consider the weakly convergent sequence coefficient of the /^-product space Z = (fTjLi Xi)t of tne finite non-Schur space Xx, ... , X„ and show that WCS(Z) = ...

Starting from the generalized Lax-Milgram theorem and from the fact that the approximation error is minimized when the continuity and inf– sup constants are unity, we develop a theory that provably delivers well-posed approximation methods with unity continuity and inf–sup constants for numerical solution of linear partial differential equations. We demonstrate our single-framework theory on sc...
