A new multisection technique in interval methods for global optimization is investigated, and numerical tests demonstrate
that the efficiency of the underlying global optimization method can be improved substantially. The heuristic rule is based
on experiences that suggest the subdivision of the current subinterval into a larger number of pieces only if it is located
in the neighbourhood of a minimizer point. An estimator of the proximity of a subinterval to the region of attraction to a
minimizer point is utilized. According to the numerical study made, the new multisection strategies seem to be indispensable,
and can improve both the computational and the memory complexity substantially.

In this note we consider discrete linear reaction-diffusion problems. For the discretization a standard conforming finite
element method is used. For the approximate solution of the resulting discrete problem a multigrid method with a damped Jacobi
or symmetric Gauss-Seidel smoother is applied. We analyze the convergence of the multigrid V- and W-cycle in the framework
of the approximation- and smoothing property. The multigrid method is shown to be robust in the sense that the contraction
number can be bounded by a constant smaller than one which does not depend on the mesh size or on the diffusion-reaction ratio.

It is difficult to find a good fit of a combination of Gaussians to arbitrary empirical data. The surface defined by the
objective function contains many local minima, which trap gradient descent algorithms and cause stochastic methods to tarry
unreasonably in the vicinity. A number of techniques for accelerating convergence when using simulated annealing are presented.
These are tested on a sample of known Gaussian combinations and are compared for accuracy and resource consumption. A single
`best' set of techniques is found which gives good results on the test samples and on empirical data.

We explore the prospects of utilizing the decomposition of the function space (H

(where n=2,3) into three orthogonal subspaces (as introduced by Velte) for the iterative solution of the Stokes problem. It is shown
that Uzawa and Arrow-Hurwitz iterations – after at most two initial steps – can proceed fully in the third, smallest subspace.
For both methods, we also compute optimal iteration parameters. Here, for two-dimensional problems, the lower estimate of
the inf-sup constant by Horgan and Payne proves useful and provides an inclusion of the spectrum of the Schur complement operator
of the Stokes problem.
We further consider the conjugate gradient method in the third Velte subspace and derive a corresponding convergence estimate.
Computational results show the effectiveness of this approach for discretizations which admit a discrete Velte decomposition.

A backward error analysis of the direct elimination method for linear equality constrained least squares problems is presented.
It is proved that the solution computed by the method is the exact solution of a perturbed problem and bounds for data perturbations
are given. The numerical stability of the method is related to the way in which the constraints are used to eliminate variables
and these theoretical conclusions are confirmed by a numerical example.

A new method for solving the weighted linear least squares problems with full rank is proposed. Based on the theory of Liapunov's
stability, the method associates a dynamic system with a weighted linear least squares problem, whose solution we are interested
in and integrates the former numerically by an A-stable numerical method. The numerical tests suggest that the new method
is more than comparative with current conventional techniques based on the normal equations.

A spectral Galerkin discretization for calculating the eigenvalues of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation is presented. The matrices
of the resulting generalized eigenvalue problem are sparse. A convergence analysis of the method is presented which indicates
that a) no spurious eigenvalues occur and b) reliable results can only be expected under the assumption of scale resolution, i.e., that Re/p
2 is small; here Re is the Reynolds number and p is the spectral order. Numerical experiments support that the assumption of scale resolution is necessary in order to obtain
reliable results. Exponential convergence of the method is shown theoretically and observed numerically.

We consider a Galerkin finite element method that uses piecewise linears on a class of Shishkin-type meshes for a model singularly
perturbed convection-diffusion problem. We pursue two approaches in constructing superconvergent approximations of the gradient.
The first approach uses superconvergence points for the derivative, while the second one combines the consistency of a recovery
operator with the superconvergence property of an interpolant. Numerical experiments support our theoretical results.

Interval arithmetic can be used to enclose the range of a real function over a domain. However, due to some weak properties
of interval arithmetic, a computed interval can be much larger than the exact range. This phenomenon is called dependency
problem. In this paper, Horner's rule for polynomial interval evaluation is revisited. We introduce a new factorization scheme
based on well-known symbolic identities in order to handle the dependency problem of interval arithmetic. The experimental
results show an improvement of 25% of the width of computed intervals with respect to Horner's rule.

We consider multigrid methods for problems in linear elasticity which are robust with respect to the Poisson ratio. Therefore,
we consider mixed approximations involving the displacement vector and the pressure, where the pressure is approximated by
discontinuous functions. Then, the pressure can be eliminated by static condensation. The method is based on a saddle point
smoother which was introduced for the Stokes problem and which is transferred to the elasticity system. The performance and
the robustness of the multigrid method are demonstrated on several examples with different discretizations in 2D and 3D. Furthermore,
we compare the multigrid method for the saddle point formulation and for the condensed positive definite system.

In a single-machine problem with time-lags a set of jobs has to be processed on a single machine in such a way that certain
timing restrictions between the finishing and starting times of the jobs are satisfied and a given objective function is minimized.
We consider the case of positive finish-start time-lags which mean that between the finishing time of job i and the starting time of job j the minimal distance has to be respected. New complexity results are derived for single-machine problems with constant positive time-lags which also lead to new results for flow-shop problems with unit processing times and job precedences.

h –p–adaptive projection with respect to any prescribed threshold value for the visual error. This projection can then be processed
by various local rendering methods, e.g. color coding of data or isosurface extraction. Especially for color coding purposes
modern texture capabilities are used to directly render higher polynomial data by superposition of polynomial basis function
textures and final color look-up tables. Numerical experiments from CFD clearly demonstrate the applicability and efficiency
of our approach.

This paper is devoted to the a priori error analysis of the hp-version of a streamline-diffusion finite element method for partial differential equations with nonnegative characteristic
form. This class of equations includes second-order elliptic and parabolic problems, first-order hyperbolic problems and second-order
problems of mixed elliptic-parabolic-hyperbolic type. We derive error bounds which are simultaneously optimal in both the
mesh size h and the spectral order p. Numerical examples are presented to confirm the theoretical results.

As an extension of our previous paper which gave forward and backward error estimates, we perform a running error analysis
of the multivariate Horner scheme. This leads to a modified algorithm which computes the value of the polynomial together
with an error estimate.

Conventional implementations of iterative numerical algorithms, especially multigrid methods, merely reach a disappointing
small percentage of the theoretically available CPU performance when applied to representative large problems. One of the
most important reasons for this phenomenon is that the need for data locality due to poor main memory latency and limited
bandwidth is entirely neglected by many developers designing numerical software. Only when most of the data to be accessed
during the computation are found in the system cache (or in one of the caches if the machine architecture comprises a cache
hierarchy) fast program execution can be expected. Otherwise, i.e. in case of a significant rate of cache misses, the processor
must stay idle until the necessary operands are fetched from main memory, whose cycle time is in general extremely large compared
to the time needed to execute a floating point instruction. In this paper, we describe program transformation techniques developed
to improve the cache performance of two-dimensional multigrid algorithms. Although we merely consider the solution of Poisson's
equation on the unit square using structured grids, our techniques provide valuable hints towards the efficient treatment
of more general problems.

∞-coefficients. This paper analyses the application of hierarchical matrices to the convection-dominant convection-diffusion
equation with constant convection. In the case of increasing convection, the convergence of a standard ℋ-matrix approximant
towards the original matrix will deteriorate. We derive a modified partitioning and admissibility condition that ensures good
convergence also for the singularly perturbed case.

In this paper we describe a version of transformed density rejection that requires less uniform random numbers. Random variates
below the squeeze are generated by inversion. For the expensive part between squeeze and density an algorithm that uses a
covering with triangles is introduced.

We are concerned with the task of stabilizing discrete approximations to convection–diffusion problems. We propose to consistently
modify the exact variational formulation of the problem by adding a fractional order inner product, involving the residual
of the equation. The inner product is expressed through a multilevel decomposition of its arguments, in terms of components
along a multiscale basis. The order of the inner product locally varies from −1/2 to −1, depending on the value of a suitably-defined
multiscale Péclet number. Numerical approximations obtained via the Galerkin method applied to the modified formulation are
analyzed.
