Fast Structured Direct Spectral Methods for Differential Equations with Variable Coefficients, I. The One-Dimensional Case
We study the rank structures of the matrices in Fourier- and Chebyshev-spectral methods for differential equations with variable coefficients in one dimension. We show analyticall...

Approximating Spectral Densities of Large Matrices
In physics, it is sometimes desirable to compute the so-called Density Of States (DOS), also known as the spectral density, of a Hermitian (or symmetric) matrix A. The spectral den...

Geodesic Transport Barriers in Jupiter's Atmosphere: A Video-Based Analysis
Jupiter’s zonal jets and Great Red Spot are well known from still images. However, the planet’s atmosphere is highly unsteady, which suggests that the actual material transport...

A Newton-Galerkin Method for Fluid Flow Exhibiting Uncertain Periodic Dynamics
The determination of stable limit-cycles plays an important role in quantifying the characteristics of dynamical systems. In practice, exact knowledge of model parameters is rarely...

Error Estimates of a First-order Lagrange Finite Element Technique for Nonlinear Scalar Conservation Equations
This paper establishes a O(h 1 4 ) error estimate in the L∞ t (L1 x)-norm for the approximation of scalar conservation equations using an explicit continuous finite element tech...

A Higher Order Finite Element Method for Partial Differential Equations on Surfaces
A new higher order finite element method for elliptic partial differential equations on a stationary smooth surface Γ is introduced and analyzed. We assume that Γ is characteri...

Analysis of the Incompatibility Operator and Application in Intrinsic Elasticity with Dislocations
The incompatibility operator arises in the modeling of elastic materials with dislocations and in the intrinsic approach to elasticity, where it is related to the Riemannian curvat...

Convergence of Regularized Nonlocal Interaction Energies
Inspired by numerical studies of the aggregation equation, we study the effect of regularization on nonlocal interaction energies. We consider energies defined via a repulsiveatt...
