Calibration, the practice of choosing the parameters of a structural model to match certain empirical moments, can be viewed as minimum distance estimation. Existing standard error formulas for such estimators require a consistent estimate…
We find necessary density conditions for Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities and interpolation for spaces of spherical harmonics with respect to the L^p norm. Moreover, we prove that there are no complete interpolation families for p\neq 2.
Our goal is to predict the band structure of photonic crystals. This task requires us to compute a number of the smallest non-zero eigenvalues of the time-harmonic Maxwell operator depending on the chosen Bloch boundary conditions. We…
