Kernel-based methods in Numerical Analysis have the advantage of yielding optimal recovery processes in the "native" Hilbert space $\calh$ in which they are reproducing. Continuous kernels on compact domains have an expansion into…

Eigenmaps are important in analysis, geometry, and machine learning, especially in nonlinear dimension reduction. Approximation of the eigenmaps of a Laplace operator depends crucially on the scaling parameter $\epsilon$. If $\epsilon$ is…

The theory for the generation of Wannier functions within the generalized Pipek--Mezey approach [Lehtola, S.; J\'onsson, H. J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2014, 10, 642] is presented and an implementation thereof is described. Results are…

We consider the minimization or maximization of the $J$th largest eigenvalue of an analytic and Hermitian matrix-valued function, and build on Mengi et al. (2014, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 35, 699-724). This work addresses the setting…

We consider the problem of minimizing a difference of (smooth) convex functions over a compact convex feasible region $P$, i.e., $\min_{x \in P} f(x) - g(x)$, with smooth $f$ and Lipschitz continuous $g$. This computational study builds…

In \cite{Lee:2006:schrod-converg}, when the spatial variable $x$ is localized, Lee observed that the Schr\"odinger maximal operator $e^{it\Delta}f(x)$ enjoys certain localization property in $t$ for frequency localized functions. In this…
