Pafnuty Chebyshev

Summary

Pafnuty Lvovich Chebyshev (Пафну́тий Льво́вич Чебышёв) ( – ) was a Russian mathematician and considered to be the founding father of Russian mathematics. Chebyshev is known for his fundamental contributions to the fields of probability, statistics, mechanics, and number theory. A number of important mathematical concepts are named after him, including the Chebyshev inequality (which can be used to prove the weak law of large numbers), the Bertrand–Chebyshev theorem, Chebyshev polynomials, Chebyshev linkage, and Chebyshev bias. Transcription The surname Chebyshev has been transliterated in several different ways, like Tchebichef, Tchebychev, Tchebycheff, Tschebyschev, Tschebyschef, Tschebyscheff, Čebyčev, Čebyšev, Chebysheff, Chebychov, Chebyshov (according to native Russian speakers, this one provides the closest pronunciation in English to the correct pronunciation in old Russian), and Chebychev, a mixture between English and French transliterations considered erroneou

MATHICSE technical Report : Stabilized explicit multirate methods for stiff differential equations

Assyr Abdulle, Giacomo Rosilho De Souza

Stabilized Runge–Kutta (aka Chebyshev) methods are especially efficient for the numerical solution of large systems of stiff differential equations because they are fully explicit; hence, they are inherently parallel and easily accommodate nonlinearity. For semi-discrete parabolic (or diffusion dominated) problems, for instance, stabilized Runge–Kutta methods overcome the stringent stability condition of standard methods without sacrificing explicitness. However, when much of the stiffness is only induced by a few components, as in the presence of spatially local mesh refinement, their efficiency deteriorates. To remove the crippling effect of a few severely stiff components on the entire system of differential equations, we derive a modified equation, whose stiffness solely depend on the remaining mildly stiff components. By applying stabilized Runge–Kutta methods to this modified equation, we then devise an explicit multirate Runge–Kutta–Chebyshev (mRKC) method whose stability conditions are independent of a few severely stiff components. Stability of the mRKC method is proved for a model problem, whereas its efficiency and usefulness are demonstrated through a series of numerical experiments.

A new explicit stabilized scheme of weak order one for stiff and ergodic stochastic differential equations (SDEs) is introduced. In the absence of noise, the new method coincides with the classical deterministic stabilized scheme (or Chebyshev method) for diffusion dominated advection-diffusion problems and it inherits its optimal stability domain size that grow quadratically with the number of internal stages of the method. For mean-square stable stiff stochastic problems, the scheme has an optimal extended mean-square stability domain that grows at the same quadratic rate as the deterministic stability domain size in contrast to known existing methods for stiff SDEs [A. Abdulle and T. Li. Commun. Math. Sci., 6(4), 2008, A. Abdulle, G. Vilmart, and K. C. Zygalakis, SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 35(4), 2013]. Combined with postprocessing techniques, the new methods achieve a convergence rate of order two for sampling the invariant measure of a class of ergodic SDEs, achieving a stabilized version of the non-Markovian scheme introduced in [B. Leimkuhler, C. Matthews, and M. V. Tretyakov, Proc. R. Soc. A, 470, 2014].
