In the strict semi stable reduction situation, we describe the various filtrations of the perverse sheaf of nearby cycles in terms of irreducible perverse sheaves together with the action of the monodromy operator. We then study the…
We connect boundary conditions for one-sided pseudo-differential operators with the generators of modified one-sided L\'evy processes. On one hand this allows modellers to use appropriate boundary conditions with confidence when restricting…
The constrained mock-Chebyshev least squares operator is a linear approximation operator based on an equispaced grid of points. Like other polynomial or rational approximation methods, it was recently introduced in order to defeat the Runge…

The celebrated Trotter approximation theorem provides a sufficient condition for the convergence of a sequence of operator semigroups in terms of the corresponding sequence of infinitesimal generators. There exist a few results on the rate…
The main aim of this paper is to show that the nonlinear Choquet integral can be used to construct nonlinear approximation operators, exactly as by the use in probability of the Lebesgue-type integral, linear and positive approximation…
We have developed a method for constructing spectral approximations for convolution operators of Fredholm type. The algorithm we propose is numerically stable and takes advantage of the recurrence relations satisfied by the entries of such…
This paper provides a complete characterization of quasicontractive $C_0$-semigroups on Hardy and Dirichlet space with a prescribed generator of the form $Af=Gf'$. We show that such semigroups are semigroups of composition operators and we…
In this paper we consider fully discrete approximations of abstract evolution equations, by means of a quasi non-conforming spatial approximation and finite differences in time (Rothe-Galerkin method). The main result is the convergence of…
Using a variant of Schreier's Theorem, and the theory of Green's relations, we show how to reduce the computation of an arbitrary subsemigroup of a finite regular semigroup to that of certain associated subgroups. Examples of semigroups to…
This paper develops a novel operator theoretic framework to study the contraction properties of Markov semigroups with respect to a general class of Kantorovich semi-distances, which notably includes Wasserstein distances. The rather simple…
We present a new semiclassical method that yields an approximation to the quantum mechanical wavefunction at a fixed, predetermined position. In the approach, a hierarchy of ODEs are solved along a trajectory with zero velocity. The new…
We propose a fast and stable method for constructing matrix approximations to fractional integral operators applied to series in the Chebyshev fractional polynomials. This method utilizes a recurrence relation satisfied by the fractional…
We improve the classical results by Brenner and Thom\'ee on rational approximations of operator semigroups. In the setting of Hilbert spaces, we introduce a finer regularity scale for initial data, provide sharper stability estimates, and…
For operators $A$, it is sometimes possible to define $e^{At}$ as an operator in and of itself provided it meets certain regularity conditions. Like $e^{\lambda x}$ for ODEs, this operator is useful for solving PDEs involving the operator…
We provide a new method to approximate a (possibly discontinuous) function using Christoffel-Darboux kernels. Our knowledge about the unknown multivariate function is in terms of finitely many moments of the Young measure supported on the…
