Characterization of Continuous, Four-Coefficient Scaling Functions via Matrix Spectral Radius
Authors: Markus Bröker, Xinlong Zhou
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2000)

We characterize the existence of continuous solutions of a four-coefficient dilation equation in terms of the usual spectral radius of a matrix. The criteria for the existence of such a solution can be very quickly examined. As a result we give an affirmative answer to a conjecture raised by Colella and Heil in 1992. Moreover, using our criteria we find the smoothest compactly supported four-coefficient orthogonal scaling function and thus the smoothest compactly supported orthonormal wavelet generated by this scaling function.

Spectral Hermite Approximations for the Actively Mode-Locked Laser
Authors: Kelly Black, John B. Geddes
Venue: Journal of Scientific Computing (2001)

An approximation technique for the governing equations for the mode-locked laser is examined. The technique centers on a transformation of the governing equations in which the resulting equations closely resemble the Hermite equation. The approximation of the system is constructed through a linear combination of Hermite polynomials resulting in a Hermite-spectral method. The rate of decay of the resulting modes is examined for a simplified problem and difficulties in showing the stability of the method are also discussed. Numerical comparisons with a finite difference scheme are also presented.

A Numerical Study of FETI Algorithms for Mortar Finite Element Methods
Authors: Dan Stefanica
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

The finite element tearing and interconnecting (FETI) method is an iterative substructuring method using Lagrange multipliers to enforce the continuity of the finite element solution across the subdomain interface. Mortar finite elements are nonconforming finite elements that allow for a geometrically nonconforming decomposition of the computational domain into subregions and, at the same time, for the optimal coupling of different variational approximations in different subregions.We present a numerical study of FETI algorithms for elliptic self-adjoint equations discretized by mortar finite elements. Several preconditioners which have been successful for the case of conforming finite elements are considered. We compare the performance of our algorithms when applied to classical mortar elements and to a new family of biorthogonal mortar elements, and we discuss the differences between enforcing mortar conditions instead of continuity conditions for the case of matching nodes across the interface. Our experiments are carried out for both two and three dimensional problems, and include a study of the relative costs of applying different preconditioners for mortar elements.

Visualization of do-loop performance using AVS
Authors: Oscar Naím, Anthony J. G. Hey
Venue: Progress in computer research (2001)

Performance visualization is the use of graphical display techniques for the analysis of performance data in order to improve understanding of complex performance phenomena. Performance visualization systems for parallel programs have been helpful in the past and they are commonly used in order to improve parallel program performance. However, despite the advances that have been made in visualizing scientific data, techniques for visualizing performance of parallel programs remain ad hoc and performace visualization becomes more difficult as the parallel system becomes more complex. Massively parallel processors can produce a huge amount of performance data and sophisticated methods for representing and displaying this data are required. The use of scientific visualization tools (e.g. AVS, Application Visualization System) to display performance data is becoming a very poewrful alternative to support performance analysis of parallel programs. One advantage of this approach is that no tool development is required and that every feature of the data visualization tool can be used for further data analysis. In this paper the Do-Loop-Surface (DLS) display, an abstract view of the performance of a particular do-loop in a program implemented using AVS, is presented as an example on how a data visualization tool can be used to define new abstract representations of performance, helping the user to analyze complex data potentially generated by a large number of processors.

Construction of Smooth Refinable Function Vectors by Cascade Algorithms
Authors: Di-Rong Chen
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

This paper establishes an equivalent relation between the convergence of a cascade algorithm in Sobolev space and the convergence of an associated cascade algorithm in Lp space. It reduces the convergence in Sobolev space to that in Lp space. On the other hand, by the equivalence we present an algorithm for construction of refinement masks which generate convergent cascade algorithms in Sobolev space. It is very easy to implement the algorithm. Examples are given to illustrate the theory.

Improving TCP performance over mobile networks
Authors: Hala Elaarag
Venue: ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR) (2002)

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the most commonly used transport protocol on the Internet. All indications assure that mobile computers and their wireless communication links will be an integral part of the future internetworks. In this paper, we present how regular TCP is well tuned to react to packet loss in wired networks. We then define mobility and the problems associated with it. We discuss why regular TCP is not suitable for mobile hosts and their wireless links by providing simulation results that demonstrate the effect of the high bit error rates of the wireless link on TCP performance. We discuss and illustrate the problems caused by the mobility of hosts using a graph tracing packets between fixed and mobile hosts. We then present a survey of the research done to improve the performance of TCP over mobile wireless networks. We classify the proposed solutions into three categories: link layer, end-to-end and split. We discuss the intuition behind each solution and present example protocols of each category. We discuss the protocols functionality, their strengths and weaknesses. We also provide a comparison of the different approaches in the same category and on the category level. We conclude this survey with a recommendation of the features that need to be satisfied in a standard mobile TCP protocol.
Computerization in Developing Countries: Model and Reality
Authors: Per Lind
Venue:  (1990)

:In the early 1980s, optimism ran high about the benefits of computerization in developing countries. Reality, however, would prove otherwise. While computers are a fact of life in most of the developed world, they are rarely utilized in developing countries. InComputerization in Developing Countries, Per Lind discusses the problems of applying Western computer programs to Third World countries. He argues that these difficulties are cultural as well as technological, and that no one system can solve the problems of all developing countries. With numerous supporting examples, the book illustrates that computer programs are a product of a developed culture, and as such, are not suited to the specific problems of Third World reality.
