Abstract. In this paper we provide sharp bounds for the error in approximating the Riemann-Stieltjes integral R b a f (t) du (t) by the trapezoidal rule f (a) + f (b) 2 [u (b) u (a...
We examine condition numbers, preconditioners, and iterative methods for finite element discretizations of coercive PDEs in the context of the fundamental solvability result, the L...
