Decoupling Three-Dimensional Mixed Problems Using Divergence-Free Finite Elements
Authors: Robert Scheichl
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

In this paper we describe an iterative method for indefinite saddle-point systems arising from mixed finite element discretizations of second-order elliptic boundary value problems subject to mixed boundary conditions and posed over polyhedral three-dimensional domains. The method is based on a decoupling of the vector of velocities in the saddle-point system from the vector of pressures, resulting in a symmetric positive definite velocity system and a triangular pressure system.The crucial step in this approach is the construction of the divergence-free Raviart--Thomas--N&eacute;d&eacute;lec elements from the curls of N&eacute;d&eacute;lec's edge elements. Because of the large kernel of the curl-operator, this representation is not unique. To find a basis we consider the graph made up of the nodes and edges of the mesh and eliminate the edge elements associated with a spanning tree in this graph. To prove that this technique works in the general case considered here, we employ fundamental results from algebraic topology and graph theory.We also include some numerical experiments, where we solve the (decoupled) velocity system by ILU-preconditioned conjugate gradients and the pressure system by simple back substitutions. We compare our method with a standard ILU-based block preconditioner for the original saddle-point system, and we find that our method is faster by a factor of at least 4.5 in all cases, with the greatest improvement occurring in the nonuniform mesh case.

On the semantics of the assignment statement of high-level graphical languages
Authors: Guenther Schrack
Venue: ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics (1976)

Based on the concept of treating graphical data as a data type in its own right with associated language parts and constructs such as graphical constants, graphical variables and graphical expressions, the semantics of the assignment statement of a high-level graphical programming language are investigated in some detail.It is assumed that the graphical data are defined by the areal external representation model. In addition, the semantics of binary operators, the superposition and the deletion operators, are considered.
Dominating Pair Graphs
Authors: Jitender S. Deogun, Dieter Kratsch
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2002)

A pair of vertices of a graph is called a dominating pair if the vertex set of every path between these two vertices is a dominating set of the graph. A graph is a weak dominating pair graph if it has a dominating pair. Further, a graph is called a dominating pair graph if each of its connected induced subgraphs is a weak dominating pair graph. Dominating pair graphs form a class of graphs containing interval, permutation, cocomparability, and asteroidal triple-free graphs.Our purpose is to study the structural properties of dominating pair graphs. Our main results are a polar theorem for the dominating pairs in weak dominating pair graphs and an existence theorem for minimum cardinality connected dominating sets that induce a simple path in connected dominating pair graphs of diameter not equal to three. Furthermore, we present a forbidden induced subgraph characterization of chordal dominating pair graphs.
Logical foundations of agent-based computing
Authors: Wiebe van der Hoek
Venue: Mutli-agents systems and applications (2001)

Logics for agents are useful when specifying, implementing and verifying agent programs. We show that modal logic provides a nice tool to define informational, motivational and dynamic aspects of agents. We conclude by showing how an agent programming language can also benefit form this modal approach.
Practical Aspects of the Moreau--Yosida Regularization: Theoretical Preliminaries
Authors: Claude Lemaréchal, Claudia Sagastizábal
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1997)

When computing the infimal convolution of a convex function f with the squared norm, the so-called Moreau--Yosida regularization of f is obtained. Among other things, this function has a Lipschitzian gradient. We investigate some more of its properties, relevant for optimization. The most important part of our study concerns second-order differentiability: existence of a second-order development of $f$ implies that its regularization has a Hessian. For the converse, we disclose the importance of the decomposition of ${\Bbb R}^N$ along $\cal U$ (the subspace where f is "smooth") and $\cal V$ (the subspace parallel to the subdifferential of f).

Numerical Treatment of Defective Boundary Conditions for the Navier--Stokes Equations
Authors: L. Formaggia, J.-F. Gerbeau, F. Nobile, A. Quarteroni
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

We present a formulation for accommodating defective boundary conditions for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations where only averaged values are prescribed on measurable portions of the boundary. In particular we consider the case where the flow rate is imposed on several domain sections. This methodology has an interesting application in the numerical simulation of flow in blood vessels, when only a reduced set of boundary data are generally available for the upstream and downstream sections.

Global Optimality Conditions for Quadratic Optimization Problems with Binary Constraints
Authors: Amir Beck, Marc Teboulle
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (2000)

We consider nonconvex quadratic optimization problems with binary constraints. Our main result identifies a class of quadratic problems for which a given feasible point is global optimal. We also establish a necessary global optimality condition. These conditions are expressed in a simple way in terms of the problem's data. We also study the relations between optimal solutions of the nonconvex binary quadratic problem versus the associated relaxed and convex problem defined over the $l_{\infty}$ norm. Our approach uses elementary arguments based on convex duality.

Donor-Acceptor interactions in Al 0.5 In 0.5 P
Authors: P. N. Grillot, S. A. Stockman, J.-W. Huang, S. S. Yi
Venue: Journal of Electronic Materials (2002)

Dopant interactions are considered between Mg-acceptor atoms and various donor species, including the deep donor; oxygen; and the shallow donors, Te, S, and Si, in Al0.5In0.5P. While each of these donor species is shown to suppress Mg diffusion and enhance Mg incorporation in Al0.5In0.5P, careful analysis of the concentration profiles for these various donor species reveals subtle differences in the shape of the donor and acceptor dopant profiles, suggesting subtle differences in both the type of donor-acceptor interactions involved and in the effectiveness of the various donor species at suppressing Mg diffusion. Oxygen, in particular, is shown to have a profound effect on Mg diffusion in Al0.5In0.5P uniform-composition layers, while other donor species are less effective at suppressing Mg diffusion. Such differences suggest that a chemical bonding effect or complex formation may be more dominant between Mg and oxygen, while electrical compensation likely plays a larger relative role between Mg and the shallow-donor species.
Mathematics preparation for undergraduate degrees in computer science
Authors: Bruce S. Elenbogen, John Laird, Richard Enbody, Chris McDonald, Peter B. Henderson, Richard Nau, Steve Tanimoto
Venue: Proceedings of the 33rd SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education (2002)

Throughout the history of computer science education there has been debate on what should be the appropriate mathematics background for computer science majors. The first computer science instructors were mathematicians and the first curriculums were just modifications of mathematics curriculums. However, as the discipline has grown and matured there has developed several areas of computer science where traditional undergraduate mathematics is not used and traditional mathematics preparation may not be appropriate. Although logic and problem solving skills are valued by the Computer Science community, exactly how many hours of mathematics and what areas of mathematics should be required, needs to be addressed. This panel was convened to discuss this issue from a variety of viewpoints. We hope that discussion will give the listeners new ideas on just what should be the appropriate courses and topics for their institution and program. The panel was chosen to present a wide range of view representing a variety of schools (large and small, public and private, traditional and non-traditional, preparation for the workplace or for disciplines (E-commerce, distributed computing, artificial intelligence, software engineering and graphics) viewpoints (both young and old, industrial and academic).

Graphical Models: Methods for Data Analysis and Mining
Authors: Christian Borgelt, Rudolf Kruse
Venue:  (2002)

:The concept of modelling using graph theory has its origin in several scientific areas, notably statistics, physics, genetics, and engineering. The use of graphical models in applied statistics has increased considerably over recent years and the theory has been greatly developed and extended. This book provides a self-contained introduction to the learning of graphical models from data, and is the first to include detailed coverage of possibilistic networks - a relatively new reasoning tool that allows the user to infer results from problems with imprecise data. One major advantage of graphical modelling is that specialised techniques that have been developed in one field can be transferred into others easily. The methods described here are applied in a number of industries, including a recent quality testing programme at a major car manufacturer. Provides a self-contained introduction to learning relational, probabilistic and possibilistic networks from data Each concept is carefully explained and illustrated by examples Contains all necessary background, including modeling under uncertainty, decomposition of distributions, and graphical representation of decompositions Features applications of learning graphical models from data, and problems for further research Includes a comprehensive bibliography An essential reference for graduate students of graphical modelling, applied statistics, computer science and engineering, as well as researchers and practitioners who use graphical models in their work.

Exponential decay of energy of vibrating strings with local viscoelasticity
Authors: Kangsheng Liu, Zhuangyi Liu
Venue: Zeitschrift f&uuml;r Angewandte Mathematik und Physik (ZAMP) (2002)

In our previous paper [11], we studied the energy decay rate for an one-dimensional linear wave equation with the Kelvin-Voigt damping presented on a subinterval which models an elastic string with one segment made of viscoelastic material and the other of elastic material. It was proved that the energy of that system does not decay exponentially when each segment is homogeneous, i.e., coefficient functions are piecewise constant and have discontinuity at the interface. This is a puzzling result since it is not seen for the local viscous damping, where the well-known "geometric optics" condition applies. In order to get a better understanding of the causes for this phenomenon, we study two related problems in this paper. We first reconsider the above system with smooth coefficient functions. Then we replace the Kelvin-Voigt model by the Boltzmann model and allow discontinuity of material properties at the interfaces. Exponential energy decay is proved for both cases. These new results suggest that discontinuity of material properties at the interface and the "type" of the damping can affect the qualitative behavior of the energy decay.
