Optimal spherical deconvolution
Authors: Peter T. Kim, Ja-Yong Koo
Venue: Journal of Multivariate Analysis (2002)

This paper addresses the issue of optimal deconvolution density estimation on the 2-sphere. Indeed, by using the transitive group action of the rotation matrices on the 2-dimensional unit sphere, rotational errors can be introduced analogous to the Euclidean case. The resulting density turns out to be convolution in the Lie group sense and so the statistical problem is to recover the true underlying density. This recovery can be done by deconvolution; however, as in the Euclidean case, the difficulty of the deconvolution turns out to depend on the spectral properties of the rotational error distribution. This therefore leads us to define smooth and super-smooth classes and optimal rates of convergence are obtained for these smoothness classes.
Synchronous schemes and their decision problems
Authors: Zohar Manna, Amir Pnueli
Venue: Proceedings of the 7th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (1980)

A class of schemes called synchronous schemes is defined. A synchronous scheme can have several variables, but all the active ones are required to keep a synchronized rate of computation as measured by the height of their respective Herbrand values. A "reset" statement, which causes all the variables to restart a new computation, is admitted. It is shown that equivalence, convergence, and other properties are decidable for schemes in this class. The class of synchronous schemes contains, as special cases, the known decidable classes of Ianov schemes, one-variable schemes with resets, and progressive schemes.
An Algebraic Convergence Theory for Restricted Additive Schwarz Methods Using Weighted Max Norms
Authors: Andreas Frommer, Daniel B. Szyld
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

Convergence results for the restrictive additive Schwarz (RAS) method of Cai and Sarkis [SIAM J. Sci. Comput.}, 21 (1999), pp. 792--797] for the solution of linear systems of the form Ax = b are provided using an algebraic view of additive Schwarz methods and the theory of multisplittings. The linear systems studied are usually discretizations of partial differential equations in two or three dimensions. It is shown that in the case of A symmetric positive definite, the projections defined by the methods are not orthogonal with respect to the inner product defined by A, and therefore the standard analysis cannot be used here. The convergence results presented are for the class of M-matrices (and more generally for H-matrices) using weighted max norms. Comparison between different versions of the RAS method are given in terms of these norms. A comparison theorem with respect to the classical additive Schwarz method makes it possible to indirectly get quantitative results on rates of convergence which otherwise cannot be obtained by the theory. Several RAS variants are considered, including new ones and two-level schemes.

Survey and Review
Authors: Nick Trefethen
Venue: SIAM Review (2000)

With a brain weighing a fraction of a gram, a bat can "see in the dark" by echolocation. Engineers have long dreamed of duplicating this feat, and they have made steady progress over the years, beginning with the development of sonar. To mathematicians, bats are skilled at solving certain problems of inverse acoustic scattering theory. If sound waves are directed at an object, what can be learned by studying the scattered response? Shape? Composition? Motion? The mathematical formulations of such problems involve partial differential and integral equations, and they are ill-posed, since finite changes in the scattering object can have arbitrarily small effects on the scattered wave. But as usual with ill-posed problems, progress can be made by making certain assumptions. The article in this issue by Colton, Coyle, and Monk surveys the recent mathematical developments by one of the leading research groups in inverse scattering, associated with Delaware, G&ouml;ttingen, and Karlsruhe. The mathematics and the computations have advanced fast, and more and more ambitious applications can now be envisioned in resource location, nondestructive testing, medicine, defense, and other fields. So far, our machines weigh thousands of times as much as a bat's brain and are built of components that are thousands of times faster, yet they still achieve less. But inverse scattering is like so many other branches of engineering that are crudely simulating certain capabilities of living creatures. By the time the machines match the bats at tracking moths, they will actually be far ahead, able to perform a vastly broader and more flexible range of inverse scattering feats than any animal. That day is not far off.

Numerical Solution of Non--Self-Adjoint Sturm--Liouville Problems and Related Systems
Authors: Leon Greenberg, Marco Marletta
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

This paper gives the analysis and numerics underlying a shooting method for approximating the eigenvalues of non--self-adjoint Sturm--Liouville problems. We consider even order problems with (equally divided) separated boundary conditions. The method can find the eigenvalues in a rectangle and in a left half-plane. It combines the argument principle with the compound matrix method (using the Magnus expansion). In some cases the computational cost of compound matrices can be reduced by transforming to a second order vector Sturm--Liouville problem. We study the asymptotics of the solutions of the ODE for large absolute values of the eigenvalue parameter in order to calculate the eigenvalues in a left half-plane. The method is applied to the Orr--Sommerfeld equation and other examples.

Iterated Defect Correction for the Solution of Singular Initial Value Problems
Authors: Othmar Koch, Ewa B. Weinmüller
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2000)

We investigate the convergence properties of the iterated defect correction (IDeC) method based on the implicit Euler rule for the solution of singular initial value problems with a singularity of the first kind. We show that the method retains its classical order of convergence, which means that the sequence of approximations obtained during the iteration shows gradually growing order of convergence limited by the smoothness of the data and technical details of the procedure.
Orlicky's Material Requirements Planning, 2nd edition
Authors: George W. Plossl, Joseph Orlicky
Venue:  (1994)

:Not much about MRP appeared in print until 1975, when its principles and precepts were set down by Joseph Orlicky in the first edition of this book. It soon became the "bible" of MRP, and played a major role in MRP's wide acceptance and success in the field. Now in this second edition, another MRP pioneer, George Plossl, brings Orlicky's seminal work up to date to meet the needs of today's manufacturing companies while retaining all of the outstanding features that made the original a best-selling classic. Orlicky's Material Requirements Planning forgoes much of the conventional wisdom about production and inventory control, and rejects such piecemeal measures as transplanting manufacturing practices from one company to another. With specific step-by-step implementation procedures it shows how the logic of MRP achieves a better balance between inventory input and output. It explains why inventory management is inseparable from production planning. It examines the effects of both independent and dependent demand on inventory control, and points out the weaknesses of such commonly accepted approaches as stock replenishment and order points (OP) while providing preferred MRP alternatives. Plossl also discusses driving present-day MRP programs effectively using time-phased master production schedules, structuring various types of bills of material (BoM), assigning a numbering system, setting up efficient files of inventory data, using shop calendars, and establishing realistic lead times for every purchased and manufactured item. Orlicky's Material Requirements Planning thoroughly covers all the important post-MRP developments such as the many uses of MRP output data, MRPII, Just-in-Time (JIT), and Total Quality Management (TQM). And it contains a full array of MRP applications, implementation problems to anticipate, and their most effective solutions.

Enumeration of Matchings in the Incidence Graphs of Complete and Complete Bipartite Graphs
Authors: Nicholas Pippenger
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2003)

If G = (V, E) is a graph, the incidence graph I(G) is the graph with vertices $V\cup E$ and an edge joining $v\in V$ and $e\in E$ when and only when v is incident with e in G. For G equal to Kn (the complete graph on n vertices) or Kn,n (the complete bipartite graph on n + n vertices), we enumerate the matchings (sets of edges, no two having a vertex in common) in I(G), both exactly (in terms of generating functions) and asymptotically. We also enumerate the equivalence classes of matchings (where two matchings are considered equivalent if there is an automorphism of G that induces an automorphism of I(G) that takes one to the other).

Properties of a Multivalued Mapping Associated with Some Nonmonotone Complementarity Problems
Authors: Yun-Bin Zhao, George Isac
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

Using the homotopy invariance property of the degree and a newly introduced concept of the interior-point-$\varepsilon$-exceptional family for continuous functions, we prove an alternative theorem concerning the existence of a certain interior-point of a continuous complementarity problem. Based on this result, we develop several sufficient conditions to assure some desirable properties (nonemptyness, boundedness, and upper-semicontinuity) of a multivalued mapping associated with continuous (nonmonotone) complementarity problems corresponding to semimonotone, P$(\tau, \alpha, \beta)$-, quasi-P*-, and exceptionally regular maps. The results proved in this paper generalize well-known results on the existence of central paths in continuous P0 complementarity problems.

Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Methods and Subspace Iteration
Authors: R. B. Lehoucq
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

This goal of this paper is to present an elegant relationship between an implicitly restarted Arnoldi method (IRAM) and nonstationary (subspace) simultaneous iteration. This relationship allows the geometric convergence theory developed for nonstationary simultaneous iteration due to Watkins and Elsner [Linear Algebra Appl., 143 (1991), pp. 19--47] to be used for analyzing the rate of convergence of an IRAM. We also comment on the relationship with other restarting schemes. A set of experiments demonstrates that implicit restarted methods can converge at a much faster rate than simultaneous iteration when iterating on a subspace of equal dimension.
