We propose a new trust region based optimization algorithm for solving unconstrained nonlinear problems whose second derivatives matrix is singular at a local solution. We give a theoretical characterization of the singularity in this context and we propos ...
The numerical solution of linear systems with certain tensor product structures is considered. Such structures arise, for example, from the finite element discretization of a linear PDE on a d-dimensional hypercube. Linear systems with tensor product struc ...

The “Marr wavelet pyramid” is a wavelet decomposition that implements a multiscale version of the complex gradient-Laplace operator. It is closely linked to a multiresolution analysis of L2(R2 ) and it has a fast filterbank im ...
This work is concerned with codes, graphs and their links. Graph based codes have recently become very prominent in both information theory literature and practical applications. While most research has centered around their performance under iterative dec ...
We consider the problem of numerically approximating statistical moments of the solution of a time-dependent linear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE), whose coefficients and/or forcing terms are spatially correlated random fields. The stochasti ...
We propose a novel method for constructing Hilbert transform (HT) pairs of wavelet bases based on a fundamental approximation-theoretic characterization of scaling functions-the B-spline factorization theorem. In particular, starting from well-localized sc ...
Group contribution methods for the calculation of an activity coefficient such as UNIFAC (universal factorial activity coefficient) currently do not take into account sterical effects. Consequently one of the major deficiencies of such methods is their ina ...
This paper considers the solution of large-scale Lyapunov matrix equations of the form AX + XA(T) = -bb(T). The Arnoldi method is a simple but sometimes ineffective approach to deal with such equations. One of its major drawbacks is excessive memory consum ...

We investigate the effect of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions on torque measurements of quantum magnets with magnetization plateaux in the context of a frustrated spin-1/2 ladder. Using extensive DMRG simulations, we show that the DM contribution to ...
Let A be a regular local ring containing 1/2, which is either equicharacteristic, or is smooth over a d.v.r. of mixed characteristic. We prove that the product maps on derived Grothendieck-Witt groups of A satisfy the following property: given two elements ...
