N -widths for singularly perturbed problems

Martin Stynes, R. Bruce Kellogg (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

Kolmogorov N -widths are an approximation theory concept that, for a given problem, yields information about the optimal rate of convergence attainable by any numerical method applied to that problem. We survey sharp bounds recently obtained for the N -widths of certain singularly perturbed convection-diffusion and reaction-diffusion boundary value problems.

Natural and smoothing quadratic spline. (An elementary approach)

Jiří Kobza, Dušan Zápalka (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

For quadratic spine interpolating local integrals (mean-values) on a given mesh the conditions of existence and uniqueness, construction under various boundary conditions and other properties are studied. The extremal property of such's spline allows us to present an elementary construction and an algorithm for computing needed parameters of such quadratic spline smoothing given mean-values. Examples are given illustrating the results.

Nearly Coconvex Approximation

Leviatan, D., Shevchuk, I. (2002)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

* Part of this work was done while the second author was on a visit at Tel Aviv University in March 2001Let f ∈ C[−1, 1] change its convexity finitely many times, in the interval. We are interested in estimating the degree of approximation of f by polynomials, and by piecewise polynomials, which are nearly coconvex with it, namely, polynomials and piecewise polynomials that preserve the convexity of f except perhaps in some small neighborhoods of the points where f changes its convexity. We obtain...
