A New Strategy for Choosing the Chebyshev-Gegenbauer Parameters in a Reconstruction Based on Asymptotic Analysis
Journal Title: Mathematical Modelling and Analysis - Year 2010, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
The Gegenbauer reconstruction method, first proposed by Gottlieb et. al. in 1992, has been considered a useful technique for re-expanding finite series polynomial approximations while simultaneously avoiding Gibbs artifacts. Since its introduction many studies have analyzed the method's strengths and weaknesses as well as suggesting several applications. However, until recently no attempts were made to optimize the reconstruction parameters, whose careful selection can make the difference between spectral accuracies and divergent error bounds. In this paper we propose asymptotic analysis as a method for locating the optimal Gegenbauer reconstruction parameters. Such parameters are useful to applications of this reconstruction method that either seek to bound the number of Gegenbauer expansion coefficients or to control compression ratios. We then illustrate the effectiveness of our approach with the results from some numerical experiments.

Finite Element Solution of Boundary Value Problems with Nonlocal Jump Conditions
We consider stationary linear problems on non-connected layers with distinct material properties. Well posedness and the maximum principle (MP) for the differential problems are proved. A version of the finite element me...
An Implementation of a Parallel Generalized Branch and Bound Template
Branch and bound (BnB) is a general algorithm to solve optimization problems. We present a template implementation of the BnB paradigm. A BnB template is implemented using C++ object oriented paradigm. MPI is used for un...
Numerical Study of the Rosensweig Instability in a Magnetic Fluid Subject to Diffusion of Magnetic Particles
The present study is devoted to the classical problem on stability of a magnetic fluid layer under the influence of gravity and a uniform magnetic field. A periodical peak-shaped stable structure is formed on the fluid s...
Finite Difference Scheme for a Singularly Perturbed Parabolic Equations in the Presence of Initial and Boundary Layers
The grid approximation of an initial-boundary value problem is considered for a singularly perturbed parabolic reaction-diffusion equation. The second-order spatial derivative and the temporal derivative in the different...
