Difference methods for computing the Ginzburg-Landau equation in two dimensions
In this article, three difference schemes of the Ginzburg-Landau Equation in two dimensions are presented. In the three schemes, the nonlinear term is discretized such that nonlinear iteration is not needed in computation. The plane wave solution of the equation is studied and the truncation errors of the three schemes are obtained. The three schemes are unconditionally stable. The stability of the two difference schemes is proved by induction method and the time-splitting method is analysized by linearized analysis. The algebraic multigrid method is used to solve the three large linear systems of the schemes. At last, we compute the plane wave solution and some dynamics of the equation. The numerical results demonstrate that our schemes are reliable and efficient. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2010
B-spline collocation algorithms for numerical solution of the RLW equation
Both sextic and septic B-spline collocation algorithms are presented for the numerical solutions of the RLW equation. Numerical results resolve the fine structure of the single solitary wave propagation, two and three solitary waves interaction, and evolution of solitary waves. Comparison of the numerical results is done by the results of some earlier schemes mentioned in the article. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2010
Vertex singularities associated with conical points for the 3D Laplace equation
The solution u to the Laplace equation in the neighborhood of a vertex in a three-dimensional domain may be described by an asymptotic series in terms of spherical coordinates u = [sum] iAi[rho][nu]ifi([thetas],[phiv]). For conical vertices, we derive explicit analytical expressions for the eigenpairs [nu]i and fi([thetas],[phiv]), which are required as benchmark solutions for the verification of numerical methods. Thereafter, we extend the modified Steklov eigen-formulation for the computation of vertex eigenpairs using p/spectral finite element methods and demonstrate its accuracy and high efficiency by comparing the numerically computed eigenpairs to the analytical ones. Vertices at the intersection of a crack front and a free surface are also considered and numerical eigenpairs are provided. The numerical examples demonstrate the efficiency, robustness, and high accuracy of the proposed method, hence its potential extension to elasticity problems. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A block monotone iterative method for numerical solutions of nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems
The aim of this article is to develop a new block monotone iterative method for the numerical solutions of a nonlinear elliptic boundary value problem. The boundary value problem is discretized into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations, and a block monotone iterative method is established for the system using an upper solution or a lower solution as the initial iteration. The sequence of iterations can be computed in a parallel fashion and converge monotonically to a maximal solution or a minimal solution of the system. Three theoretical comparison results are given for the sequences from the proposed method and the block Jacobi monotone iterative method. The comparison results show that the sequence from the proposed method converges faster than the corresponding sequence given by the block Jacobi monotone iterative method. A simple and easily verified condition is obtained to guarantee a geometric convergence of the block monotone iterations. The numerical results demonstrate advantages of this new approach. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2010
Convergence of a family of Galerkin discretizations for the Stokes-Darcy coupled problem
In this article we analyze the well-posedness (unique solvability, stability, and Céa's estimate) of a family of Galerkin schemes for the coupling of fluid flow with porous media flow. Flows are governed by the Stokes and Darcy equations, respectively, and the corresponding transmission conditions are given by mass conservation, balance of normal forces, and the Beavers-Joseph-Saffman law. We consider the usual primal formulation in the Stokes domain and the dual-mixed one in the Darcy region, which yields a compact perturbation of an invertible mapping as the resulting operator equation. We then apply a classical result on projection methods for Fredholm operators of index zero to show that use of any pair of stable Stokes and Darcy elements implies the well-posedness of the corresponding Stokes-Darcy Galerkin scheme. This extends previous results showing well-posedness only for Bernardi-Raugel and Raviart-Thomas elements. In addition, we show that under somewhat more demanding hypotheses, an alternative approach that makes no use of compactness arguments can also be applied. Finally, we provide several numerical results illustrating the good performance of the Galerkin method for different geometries of the problem using the MINI element and the Raviart-Thomas subspace of lowest order. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Predicting User-Cell Association in Cellular Networks from Tracked Data
We consider the problem of predicting user location in the form of user-cell association in a cellular wireless network. This is motivated by resource optimization, for example switching base transceiver stations on or off to save on network energy consumption. We use GSM traces obtained from an operator, and compare several prediction methods. First, we find that, on our trace data, user cell sector association can be correctly predicted in ca. 80% of the cases. Second, we propose a new method, called “MARPL”, which uses Market Basket Analysis to separate patterns where prediction by partial match (PPM) works well from those where repetition of the last known location (LAST) is best. Third, we propose that for network resource optimization, predicting the aggregate location of a user ensemble may be of more interest than separate predictions for all users; this motivates us to develop soft prediction methods, where the prediction is a spatial probability distribution rather than the most likely location. Last, we compare soft predictions methods to a classical time and space analysis (ISTAR). In terms of relative mean square error, MARPL with soft prediction and ISTAR perform better than all other methods, with a slight advantage to MARPL (but the numerical complexity of MARPL is much less than ISTAR).

Geometric Applications of the Split Bregman Method: Segmentation and Surface Reconstruction
XFT: Extending the Digital Application of the Fourier Transform. (arXiv:0911.0952v1 [math.NA])
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the fractional Fourier
transform driven by its great number of applications. The literature in this
field follows two main routes. On the one hand the applications fields where
the ordinary Fourier transform can be applied are being revisited to use this
intermediate time-frequency representation of signals; and on the other hand
fast algorithms for numerical computation of the fractional Fourier transform
are devised. In this paper we derive a Gaussian-like quadrature of the
continuous fractional Fourier transform. This quadrature is given in terms of
the Hermite polynomials and their zeros. By using some asymptotic formulae we
are able to solve the quadrature by a diagonal congruence transformation
equivalent to a chirp-FFT-chirp transformation, yielding a fast discretization
of the fractional Fourier transform and its inverse in closed form. We extend
the range of the fractional Fourier transform by considering arbitrary complex
values inside the unitary circle and not only at the boundary. Interestingly
enough, the congruence transformation evaluated at $z=i$, which gives the
Fourier transform, improves the standard discrete Fourier transform, yielding a
new method to compute a more accurate FFT.
