An analytical method for linear elliptic PDEs and its numerical implementation
(2004)A new numerical method for solving linear elliptic boundary value problems with constant coefficients in a polygonal domain is introduced. This method produces a generalized Dirichlet-Neumann map: given the derivative of ...

Bandwidth Allocation for Virtual Paths (BAVP): Investigation of performance of classical constrained and genetic algorithm based optimization techniques
(2000)We investigate the performance of a classical constrained optimization (CCO) algorithm and a constrained optimization Genetic Algorithm (GA) for solving the Bandwidth Allocation for Virtual Paths (BAVP) problem. We compare ...

Comparison of two methods for the computation of singular solutions in elliptic problems
(1997)We compare two numerical methods for the solution of elliptic problems with boundary singularities. The first is the integrated singular basis function method (ISBFM), a finite-element method in which the solution is ...

Converged solutions of the Newtonian extrudate-swell problem
(1999)Both the axisymmetric and the planar Newtonian extrudate-swell problems are solved using the standard and the singular finite element methods. In the latter method, special elements that incorporate the radial form of the ...

Detection of cavities using the method of fundamental solutions
(2009)The determination of the boundary of a cavity, defined here as a perfectly insulated inclusion, within a conducting medium from a single voltage and current flux measurements on the accessible boundary of the medium, can ...

Efficiency of oblivious versus non-oblivious schedulers for optimistic, rate-based flow control
(ACM, 1997)Lower and upper bounds on convergence complexity, under varying degrees of locality, for optimistic, rate-based flow control algorithms are established. It is shown that randomness can be exploited to yield an even simpler ...

Efficiency of oblivious versus nonoblivious schedulers for optimistic, rate-based flow control
(2005)Two important performance parameters of distributed, rate-based flow control algorithms are their locality and convergence complexity. The former is characterized by the amount of global knowledge that is available to their ...

A note on the convergence rate of the finite element method for singularly perturbed problems using the Shishkin mesh
(2003)We consider the numerical approximation of singularly perturbed problems by the h version of the finite element method on a piecewise uniform, Shishkin mesh. It is well known that this method yields uniform approximations, ...
