Schur Complement Systems in the Mixed-Hybrid Finite Element Approximation of the Potential Fluid Flow Problem
Authors: J. Maryska, M. Rozlozník, M. Tuma
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

The mixed-hybrid finite element discretization of Darcy's law and continuity equation describing the potential fluid flow problem in porous media leads to a symmetric indefinite linear system for the pressure and velocity vector components. As a method of solution the reduction to three Schur complement systems based on successive block elimination is considered. The first and second Schur complement matrices are formed eliminating the velocity and pressure variables, respectively, and the third Schur complement matrix is obtained by elimination of a part of Lagrange multipliers that come from the hybridization of a mixed method. The structural properties of these consecutive Schur complement matrices in terms of the discretization parameters are studied in detail. Based on these results the computational complexity of a direct solution method is estimated and compared to the computational cost of the iterative conjugate gradient method applied to Schur complement systems. It is shown that due to special block structure the spectral properties of successive Schur complement matrices do not deteriorate and the approach based on the block elimination and subsequent iterative solution is well justified. Theoretical results are illustrated by numerical experiments.

A parallel algorithm for Lagrange interpolation on the star graph
Authors: H. Sarbazi-Azad, M. Ould-Khaoua, L. M. Mackenzie, S. G. Akl
Venue: Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (2002)

This paper introduces a new parallel algorithm for computing an N( = n!)-point Lagrange interpolation on an n-star (n > 2). The proposed algorithm exploits several communication techniques on stars in a novel way, which can be adapted for computing similar functions. It is optimal and consists of three phases: initialization, main, and final. While there is no computation in the initialization phase, the main phase is composed of n!/2 steps, each consisting of four multiplications, four subtractions, and one communication operation and an additional step including one division and one multiplication. The final phase is carried out in (n - 1) subphases each with O(log n) steps where each step takes three communications and one addition. Results from a cost-performance comparative analysis reveal that for practical network sizes the new algorithm on the star exhibits superior performance over those proposed for common interconnection networks.

Representation of ASN.1 in APL nested structures
Authors: Peter-Michael Hager
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (2000)

Abstract Syntax Notation One, or ASN.1, is a standardized data format for data networks and open system communications, defined by the ITU. Several TCP/IP protocols and security applications are based on it. In order to use APL to implement software solutions in this field, we need tools that allow us to manipulate data in ASN.1 format. This presentation gives an overview of the ASN.1 encoding and describes a mechanism for transforming complex ASN.1 contents into APL nested structures and vice versa. The handling of security certificates using Dyalog APL is also discussed. In fact, it would be possible to extend APL could convert any objects even a whole workspace, to ASN.1.

Early reliability assessment of UML based software models
Authors: Vittorio Cortellessa, Harshinder Singh, Bojan Cukic
Venue: Proceedings of the 3rd international workshop on Software and performance (2002)

The ability to validate software systems early in the development lifecycle is becoming crucial. While early validation of functional requirements is supported by well known approaches, the validation of non-functional requirements, such as reliability, is not. Early assessment of non-functional requirements can be facilitated by automated transformation of software models into (mathematical) notations suitable for validation. These type of validation approaches are usually as "transparent" to the developers as possible. Consequently, most software developers find them user friendly and easy to adopt.In this paper we introduce a methodology that starts with the analysis of the UML model of software architecture followed by the bayesian framework for reliability prediction. We utilize three different types of UML diagrams: Use Case, Sequence and Deployment diagrams. They are annotated with reliability related attributes. Unlike traditional reliability growth models, which are applicable late in the lifecycle, our approach bases system reliability prediction on component and connector failure rates. In mature development environments, these may be available as the result of reuse. Throughout the lifecycle, as the developers improve their understanding of failure rates and their operational usage, system reliability prediction becomes more precise. We demonstrate the approach through a case study based on a simple web-based transaction processing system.

Fast animation and control of nonrigid structures
Authors: Andrew Witkin, William Welch
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques (1990)

We describe a fast method for creating physically based animation of non-rigid objects. Rapid simulation of non- rigid behavior is based on global deformations. Con- straints are used to connect non-rigid pieces to each other, forming complex models. Constraints also provide mo- tion control, allowing model points to be moved accurately along specified trajectories. The use of deformations that are linear in the state of the system causes the constraint matrices to be constant. Pre-inverting these matrices there- fore yields an enormous benefit in performance, allowing reasonably complex models to be manipulated at interac- tive speed.
On a Nearest-Neighbor Problem Under Minkowski and Power Metrics for Large Data Sets
Authors: Marina L. Gavrilova
Venue: The Journal of Supercomputing (2002)

The paper presents the sequential and the parallel algorithm for solving the nearest-neighbor problem in the plane, based on the generalized Voronoi diagram construction. The applications of the problem are found in the areas of networking, communications, distributed systems, computer modeling and information retrieval. The input for the problem is the set of circular sites S with varying radii, the query point p and the metric (Minkowski or power) according to which the site, neighboring the query point, is to be reported. The sequential algorithm takes O(n) time to build the data structure and O(log n) time for each query. The parallel algorithm requires O(log n log) preprocessing time and O(log) query time on EREW PRAM architecture with n/log n processors. The IDG/NNM software was developed for an experimental study of the problem. The experimental results demonstrate that the Voronoi diagram method outperforms the k &minus; d tree method for all tested input configurations. The tests were conducted on large data sets, comprising thousands of generators.
Smoothing and Rothe's method for Stefan problems in enthalpy form
Authors: C. Grossmann, A. Noack
Venue: Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (2002)

The classical two-phase Stefan problem as well as its weak variational formulation model the connection between the different phases of the considered material by interface conditions at the occurring free boundary or by a jump of the enthalpy. One way to treat the corresponding discontinuous variational problems consists in its embedding into a family of continuous ones and applying some standard techniques to the chosen approximation problems. The aim of the present paper is to analyze a semi-discretization via Rothe's method and its convergence behavior in dependence of the smoothing parameter. While in Grossmann et al. (Optimization, in preparation) the treatment of the Stefan problem is based on the given variable, i.e. the temperature, here first a transformation via the smoothed enthalpy is applied. Numerical experiments indicate a higher stability of the discretization by Rothe's method. In addition, to avoid inner iterations a frozen coefficient approach as common in literature is used.

On the Complexity of Solving Feasible Linear Programs Specified with Approximate Data
Authors: Sharon Filipowski
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1999)

The problem of solving linear programs specified with approximate data is considered. Algorithms are given for linear programs having both general inequality and nonnegativity constraints and for linear programs having only general inequality constraints. Given approximate data for the actual (unknown) instance, the algorithms use knowledge that the instance in question is primal feasible to reduce the data precision necessary to give an approximation to the solution set of the actual instance when the actual instance has an optimal solution. In some cases, problem instances that would otherwise require perfect precision to solve can now be solved with approximate data because of the knowledge of primal feasibility. The algorithms are computationally efficient. Furthermore, the algorithms require not much more data accuracy than the minimum amount necessary to give an approximate solution of a desired accuracy when the actual instance has an optimal solution. This work aids in the development of a computational complexity theory that uses approximate data and knowledge.
