In this paper, we propose reduced basis multiscale finite element methods (RB-MsFEM) for elliptic problems with highly oscillating coefficients. The method is based on multiscale finite element methods with local test functions that encode the oscillatory ...

Appearing frequently in applications, generalized eigenvalue problems represent one of the core problems in numerical linear algebra. The QZ algorithm of Moler and Stewart is the most widely used algorithm for addressing such problems. Despite its importan ...
We study the problem of computing the matrix exponential of a block triangular matrix in a peculiar way: Block column by block column, from left to right. The need for such an evaluation scheme arises naturally in the context of option pricing in polynomia ...
Polarimetric incoherent target decomposition aims at accessing physical parameters of illuminated scatters through the analysis of the target coherence or covariance matrix. In this framework, independent component analysis (ICA) was recently proposed as a ...

The experimental observation made on the TCV tokamak of a significant confinement improvement in plasmas with negative triangularity (delta < 0) compared to those with standard positive triangularity has been interpreted in terms of different degrees of pr ...
FETI-DP is a dual iterative, nonoverlapping domain decomposition method. By a Schur complement procedure, the solution of a boundary value problem is reduced to solving a symmetric and positive definite dual problem in which the variables are directly rela ...
Many applications in computational science require computing the elements of a function of a large matrix. A commonly used approach is based on the the evaluation of the eigenvalue decomposition, a task that, in general, involves a computing time that scal ...
Falls are common in the elderly, and potentially result in injury and disability. Thus, preventing falls as soon as possible in older adults is a public health priority, yet there is no specific marker that is predictive of the first fall onset. We hypothe ...
This paper is concerned with the eigenvalue decay of the solution to operator Lyapunov equations with right-hand sides of finite rank. We show that the kth (generalized) eigenvalue decays exponentially in root k, provided that the involved operator A gener ...
A new decomposition optimization algorithm, called path-following gradient-based decomposition, is proposed to solve separable convex optimization problems. Unlike path-following Newton methods considered in the literature, this algorithm does not require ...
