Automatic coarsening in Algebraic Multigrid utilizing quality measures for matching-based aggregations

In this paper, we discuss the convergence of an Algebraic MultiGrid (AMG) method for general symmetric positive-definite matrices. The method relies on an aggregation algorithm, named coarsening based on compatible weighted matching, which exploits the interplay between the principle of compatible…

Abstract

Hydrodynamics of air entrainment by moving contact lines

We study the dynamics of the interface between two immiscible fluids in contact with a chemically homogeneous moving solid plate. We consider the generic case of two fluids with any viscosity ratio and of a plate moving in either directions (pulled or pushed in the bath). The problem is studied by…

On the linearization of the Belinski-Alekseev exact solution for two charged masses in equilibrium

Penalized wavelet nonparametric univariate logistic regression for irregular spaced data

This paper concerns the study of a non-smooth logistic regression function. The focus is on a high-dimensional binary response case by penalizing the decomposition of the unknown logit regression function on a wavelet basis of functions evaluated on the sampling design. Sample sizes are arbitrary (…

On the measurement of vortex filament lifetime statistics in turbulence

A numerical study of turbulence seeded with light particles is presented. We analyze the statistical properties of coherent, small-scale structures by looking at the trapping events of light particles inside vortex filaments. We study the properties of particles attracting set, measuring its…

A system of degenerate parablic nonlinear PDE's: a new free boundary problem

We prove existence of solutions of a new free boundary problem described by a system of degenerate parabolic equations. The problem arises in petroleum engineering and concerns fluid flows in diatomite rocks. The unknown functions represent the pressure of the fluid and a damage parameter of the…

A Bayesian method for multispectral image data classification

The problem of classifying multispectral image data is studied here. We propose a new Bayesian method for this. The method uses "a priori" spatial information modeled by means of a suitable Markov random field. The image data for each class are assumed to be i.i.d. following a multivariate Gaussian…
