Residual Distribution Schemes for Conservation Laws via Adaptive Quadrature
Authors: Rémi Abgrall, Timothy Barth
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2002)

This paper considers a family of nonconservative numerical discretizations for conservation laws which retain the correct weak solution behavior in the limit of mesh refinement whenever sufficient-order numerical quadrature is used. Our analysis of 2-D discretizations in nonconservative form follows the 1-D analysis of Hou and Le Floch [Math. Comp., 62 (1994), pp. 497--530]. For a specific family of nonconservative discretizations, it is shown under mild assumptions that the error arising from nonconservation is strictly smaller than the discretization error in the scheme. In the limit of mesh refinement under the same assumptions, solutions are shown to satisfy a global entropy inequality. Using results from this analysis, a variant of the "N" (Narrow) residual distribution scheme of van der Weide and Deconinck [Computational Fluid Dynamics '96, Wiley, New York, 1996, pp. 747--753] is developed for first-order systems of conservation laws. The modified form of the N-scheme supplants the usual exact single-state mean-value linearization of flux divergence, typically used for the Euler equations of gasdynamics, by an equivalent integral form on simplex interiors. This integral form is then numerically approximated using an adaptive quadrature procedure. This quadrature renders the scheme nonconservative in the sense described earlier so that correct weak solutions are still obtained in the limit of mesh refinement. Consequently, we then show that the modified form of the N-scheme can be easily applied to general (nonsimplicial) element shapes and general systems of first-order conservation laws equipped with an entropy inequality, where exact mean-value linearization of the flux divergence is not readily obtained, e.g., magnetohydrodynamics, the Euler equations with certain forms of chemistry, etc. Numerical examples of subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flows containing discontinuities together with multilevel mesh refinement are provided to verify the analysis.
Observability and Control of Schrödinger Equations
Authors: K.-D. Phung
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

We propose an exact controllability result for Schrödinger equations in bounded domains under the Bardos--Lebeau--Rauch geometric control condition with an estimate of the control which is explicit with respect to the time of controllability. Also, we prove an explicit in time logarithmic observability estimate for the Schrödinger equation, where no geometrical conditions are supposed on the domain.
Teaching programming from a distance: problems and a proposed solution
Authors: Karen Renaud, John Barrow, Petra le Roux
Venue: ACM SIGCSE Bulletin (2001)

Teaching programming is never a simple task. It is a dynamic process and the curriculum often evolves from one year to the next. Teaching programming at a distance-education institution is especially challenging. This paper reports on the process of curriculum planning at the computer science department of a distance-education institution. We address generic issues related to teaching programming and specific problems encountered when teaching at a distance. The paper outlines and motivates our proposed strategy, which encompasses three years of undergraduate teaching.
Finding a 2-Core of a Tree in Linear Time
Authors: Biing-Feng Wang
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

Let T be an edge-weighted tree. A p-core of T is a set of p mutually disjoint paths in T that minimizes the sum of the distances of all vertices in T from any of the p paths, where $p \geq 1$ is an integer. In this paper, an O(n) time algorithm is proposed for the case p = 2, where n is the number of vertices in T. Our algorithm improves the two O(n2) time algorithms previously proposed by Becker and Perl [Discrete Appl. Math., 11 (1985), pp. 103--113]. With some modifications, the proposed algorithm can be implemented on the EREW PRAM in O(log2 n) time using O(n log n) work.
Estimation of Derivatives of Nonsmooth Performance Measures in Regenerative Systems
Authors: Tito Homem-De-Mello
Venue: Mathematics of Operations Research (2001)

We investigate the problem of estimating derivatives of expected steady-state performance measures in parametric systems. Unlike most of the existing work in the area, we allow those functions to benonsmooth and study the estimation ofdirectional derivatives. For the class of regenerative Markovian systems we provide conditions under which we can obtainconsistent estimators of those directional derivatives. An example illustrates that the conditions imposed must be different from those in the differentiable case. The result also allows us to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for differentiability of the expected steady-state function. We then analyze the process formed by thesubdifferentials of the original process, and show that the subdifferential set of the expected steady-state function can be expressed as an average of integrals of multifunctions, which is the approach commonly found in the literature for integrals of sets. The latter result can also be viewed as a limit theorem for more general compact-convex multivalued processes.

Copyright and Electronic Commerce: Legal Aspects of Electronic Copyright Management
Authors: Kamiel J. Koelman, Lee A. Bygrave, Lucie Guibault
Venue:  (2000)

:The spectacular success of electronic commerce in recent years has seen an explosion in the availability of information and entertainment products on the Internet. This distribution of `content' is expected to continue as one of the major sources of growth on the Internet in the years ahead, raising concerns over the protection of content owners' rights. While the complex copyright problems of the Internet have generated plenty of literature and legislative initiatives, many important issues still remain unresolved. Rights holders in the online marketplace thus remain vulnerable to digital piracy and other forms of unauthorised use. Concerns over the effectiveness of the copyright system in a digital environment have inspired content providers to look for alternative protection regimes or strategies. These alternatives, such as the protection afforded by contract law and information technology, comprise important elements of the Electronic Copyright Management System (ECMS), a fully automated system of secure distribution, rights management, monitoring and payment of copyright-protected content currently being developed. Perhaps the largest multidisciplinary study conducted on ECMS to date is the IMPRIMATUR project, which was subsidised by the European Commission's Esprit Programme, and for which the Institute for Information Law of the University of Amsterdam (IViR) produced a series of legal studies. This volume collects six fully revised and updated studies relating to copyright and electronic commerce which have resulted from the IViR's research. As well as examining the legal issues crucial to the development of electronic copyright management systems,the contributions address issues with wider implications for the law of copyright in general. Other aspects of information law are also considered, such as defamation, data protection, privacy and freedom of expression and information, as are general questions of contract and tort law.

Combined functional partitioning and communication speed selection for networked voltage-scalable processors
Authors: Jinfeng Liu, Pai H. Chou, Nader Bagherzadeh
Venue: Proceedings of the 15th international symposium on System Synthesis (2002)

This paper presents a new technique for global energy optimization through coordinated functional partitioning and speed selection for embedded processors interconnected by a high-speed serial bus. Many such serial interfaces are capable of operating at multiple speeds and can open up a new dimension of trade-offs to complement today's CPU-centric voltage scaling techniques for processors. We propose a multi-dimensional dynamic programming formulation for energy-optimal functional partitioning with CPU/communication speed selection for a class of data-regular applications under performance constraints. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our optimization techniques with an image processing application mapped onto a multi-processor architecture with a multi-speed Ethernet.
Quality of Service in ATM Networks: State-of-the-Art Traffic Management
Authors: Natalie Giroux, Sudhakar Ganti
Venue:  (1998)

From the Book:PREFACE: Preface Over the past decade there has been tremendous momentum in the development and standardization of the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology with a very strong focus on its traffic management (TM) capability. ATM has become a networking technology capable of integrating different types of networks into a single, consolidated, broadband network. The objective of this book is to demystify the ATM traffic management strategy. The book provides a structured, detailed description of all the TM functions needed to efficiently support a wide range of services in a single network. Although this book focuses specifically on ATM traffic management strategy, the general concepts also apply to any networking technology that attempts to support multiple services with varying quality-of-service objectives. The book describes and explains the content of the ATM Forum and ITU-T* traffic management specifications and standards. It also covers in detail the elements that are not subject for standardization. Thorough literature review and analysis provide insight into possible implementation of the TM concepts. Specifically, conformance, admission control, scheduling, flow control, and congestion control are discussed in detail. The book also discusses how other networking technologies such as Frame Relay and the Internet Protocol (IP) can be carried efficiently on an ATM network. The book also provides highly technical and mathematical material useful for readers familiar with the subject. *ITU-T-International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector Acknowledgments Natalie Girouxwouldlike to thank Alan Bryenton for continuous support, encouragement, and insightful comments.
