Approximation of conformal mappings of annular regions
Papamichael, Nicolas; Pritsker, I. E.; Saff, E. B.; Stylianopoulos, Nikos S. (1997)In this paper we examine the convergence rates in an adaptive version of an orthonormalization method for approximating the conformal mapping f of an annular region A onto a circular annulus. In particular, we consider the ...

The asymptotic behavior of conformal modules of quadrilaterals with applications to the estimation of resistance values
Papamichael, Nicolas; Stylianopoulos, Nikos S. (1999)We consider the conformal mapping of "strip-like" domains and derive a number of asymptotic results for computing the conformal modules of an associated class of quadrilaterals. These results are then used for the following ...

Asymptotic behaviour of zeros of Bieberbach polynomials
Papamichael, Nicolas; Saff, E. B.; Gong, J. (1991)Let Ω be a simply-connected domain in the complex plane and let πn denote the nth-degree Bieberbach polynomial approximation to the conformal map f of Ω onto a disc. In this paper we investigate the asymptotic behaviour ...

Asymptotic Zero Distribution of Laurent-Type Rational Functions
Papamichael, Nicolas; Pritsker, I. E.; Saff, E. B. (1997)We study convergence and asymptotic zero distribution of sequences of rational functions with fixed location of poles that approximate an analytic function in a multiply connected domain. Although the study of zero ...

The bergman kernel method for the numerical conformal mapping of simply connected domains
Levin, D.; Papamichael, Nicolas; Sideridis, Alexander B. (1978)A numerical method for the conformal mapping of simply-connected domains onto the unit disc is considered. The method is based on the use of the Bergman kernel function of the domain. It is shown that, for a successful ...

A Class of C2Piecewise Quintic Polynomials
Papamichael, Nicolas; Worsey, A. J. (1980)A new class of C2piecewise quintic interpolatory polynomials is defined. It is shown that this new class contains a number of interpolatory functions which present practical advantages, when compared with the conventional ...

A class of piecewise-cubic interpolatory polynomials
Behforooz, G. H.; Papamichael, Nicolas; Worsey, A. J. (1980)A new class of C1 piecewise-cubic interpolatory polynomials is defined, by generalizing the definition of cubic X-splines given recently by Clenshaw & Negus (1978). It is shown that this new class contains a number of ...

Cubic and quintic spline-on-spline interpolation
Papamichael, Nicolas; Soares, Maria Joana (1987)This paper is concerned with the cubic spline-on-spline procedure considered by Dolezal and Tewarson [3]. We show that when the knots are equally spaced, with spacing h, then the order of accuracy of the spline-on-spline ...

Cubic spline interpolation of harmonic functions
Papamichael, Nicolas; Whiteman, J. R. (1974)It is shown that for the two dimensional Laplace equation a univariate cubic spline approximation in either space direction together with a difference approximation in the other leads to the well-known nine-point ...

A cubic spline method for the solution of a linear fourth-order two-point boundary value problem
Papamichael, Nicolas; Worsey, A. J. (1981)A cubic spline method is described for the numerical solution of a two-point boundary value problem, involving a fourth order linear differential equation. This spline method is shown to be closely related to a known fourth ...

A cubic spline technique for the one dimensional heat conduction equation
Papamichael, Nicolas; Whiteman, J. R. (1973)A cubic spline approximation to the heat conduction equation is shown to correspond to a special case of a finite-difference scheme considered by Saul'yev. The spline approximation produces at each time level a spline ...

The determination of consistent orderings for the SOR iterative method
Papamichael, Nicolas; Smith, G. D. (1975)A p-cyclic matrix A can always be transformed into a consistently ordered form PAPT, where P is a permutation matrix. In this paper simple and systematic techniques are described for establishing the cyclicity of a matrix ...

End conditions for cubic spline interpolation
Behforooz, G. H.; Papamichael, Nicolas (1979)A class of end conditions is derived for cubic spline interpolation at equally spaced knots. These conditions are in terms of function values at the knots and give rise to O(h4) spline approximations. © 1978, by Academic ...
