Lie symmetries and differential Galois groups of linear equations
For a linear ordinary differential equation the Lie algebra of its infinitesimal Lie symmetries is compared with its differential Galois group. For this purpose an algebraic formul...

Convergence of an iterative algorithm for solving Hamilton-Jacobi type equations
Abstract. Solutions of the optimal control and H-control problems for nonlinear affine systems can be found by solving Hamilton-Jacobi equations. However, these first order nonline...

Positivity preserving finite element approximation
We consider finite element operators defined on "rough" functions in a bounded polyhedron in RN . Insisting on preserving positivity in the approximations, we discover a...

Computation of class numbers of quadratic number fields
We explain how one can dispense with the numerical computation of approximations to the transcendental integral functions involved when computing class numbers of quadratic number ...

A geometric theory for preconditioned inverse iteration applied to a subspace
ABSTRACT. The aim of this paper is to provide a convergence analysis for a preconditioned subspace iteration, which is designated to determine a modest number of the smallest eigen...

On the stability of a family of finite element methods for hyperbolic problems
We consider a family of tensor product finite element methods for hyperbolic equations in RN , N 2, which are explicit and generate a continuous approximate solution. The base cas...

Directional Newton methods in n variables
Directional Newton methods for functions f of n variables are shown to converge, under standard assumptions, to a solution of f(x) = 0. The rate of convergence is quadratic, for ne...

Asymptotic properties of the spectral test, diaphony, and related quantities
This paper presents the limit laws of discrepancies defined via exponential sums, and algorithms (with error bounds) to approximate the corresponding distribution functions. The re...

Newton-like method with modification of the right-hand-side vector
This paper proposes a new Newton-like method which defines new iterates using a linear system with the same coefficient matrix in each iterate, while the correction is performed on...
