Adaptive Mollifiers for High Resolution Recovery of Piecewise Smooth Data from its Spectral Information
math.NA
We discuss the reconstruction of piecewise smooth data from its (pseudo-) spectral information. Spectral projections enjoy superior resolution provided the data is globally smooth, while the presence of jump discontinuities is responsible for spurious ${\cal O}(1)$ Gibbs oscillations in the neighborhood of edges and an...

High resolution conjugate filters for the simulation of flows
math.NA
This paper proposes a Hermite-kernel realization of the conjugate filter oscillation reduction (CFOR) scheme for the simulation of fluid flows. The Hermite kernel is constructed by using the discrete singular convolution (DSC) algorithm, which provides a systematic generation of low-pass filter and its conjugate high-p...

Shape reconstruction in scattering media with voids using a transport model and level sets
math.NA
A two-step shape reconstruction method for diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is presented which uses adjoint fields and level sets. The propagation of near-infrared photons in tissue is modeled by the time-dependent linear transport equation, of which the absorption parameter has to be reconstructed from boundary measur...

Finite volume methods for incompressible flow
math.NA
Two finite volume methods are derived and applied to the solution of problems of incompressible flow. In particular, external inviscid flows and boundary-layer flows are examined. The firstmethod analyzed is a cell-centered finite volume scheme. It is shown to be formally first order accurate on equilateral triangles a...

Double newtonisation of fixed point sequences
math.NA
A neutral fixed point of a real iteration map $u$ becomes a super attracting fixed point using a suitable double newtonisation. The map $u$ is so transformed into a map $w$ which is here called the standard accelerator of $u$. The map $w$ provides a unifying process to deal with a large set of fixed point sequences whi...

New Method to obtain Exact-Fit Polynomial and Exponential
math.NA
The existing methods to obtain an exact-fit polynomial does not give the resulting polynomial in its standard form, and further manipulations are needed to obtain that. The new method presented here gives the coefficients of the polynomial in the standard form directly. It is also possible to obtain the exact-fit expon...

Algorithm to generate ideals in a Lie algebra of matrices at any particular characteristic with Mathematica
math.NA
We present in this paper a routine which construct the ideal generated by a list of elements in a matrix Lie algebra at any particular characteristic. We have used this algorithm to analyze the problem of the simplicity of some Lie algebras.

Large Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Channel Flows by the Rational LES Model
math.NA
The rational large eddy simulation (RLES) model is applied to turbulent channel flows. This approximate deconvolution model is based on a rational (subdiagonal Pade') approximation of the Fourier transform of the Gaussian filter and is proposed as an alternative to the gradient (also known as the nonlinear or tensor-di...

About Calculation of the Hankel Transform Using Preliminary Wavelet Transform
math.NA
The purpose of this paper is to present an algorithm for evaluating Hankel transform of the null and the first kind. The result is the exact analytical representation as the series of the Bessel and Struve functions multiplied by the wavelet coefficients of the input function. Numerical evaluation of the test function ...
