Green's function plays a significant role in both theoretical analysis and numerical computing of partial differential equations (PDEs). However, in most cases, Green's function is difficult to compute. The troubles arise in the following…

In this work we consider the problem of recovering $n$ discrete random variables $x_i\in \{0,\ldots,k-1\}, 1 \leq i \leq n$ (where $k$ is constant) with the smallest possible number of queries to a noisy oracle that returns for a given…

Polygonal finite elements generally do not pass the patch test as a result of quadrature error in the evaluation of weak form integrals. In this work, we examine the consequences of lack of polynomial consistency and show that it can lead…
In this paper, we study the biharmonic equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a polygonal domain. In particular, we propose a method that effectively decouples the fourth-order problem into a system of two Poison equations and one…
Given a compact planar region $A$, let $\tau_A$ be the (random) time it takes for the Johnson-Mehl tessellation of $A$ to be complete, i.e. the time it takes for $A$ to be fully covered by a spatial birth-growth process in $A$ with seeds…
