This article is about both approximation theory and the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). First we introduce the notion of {\em reciprocal-log} or {\em log-lightning approximation} of analytic functions with…
In this dissertation we have applied Trefethen and Gopal's Lightning Method to solve the Helmholtz equation in the exterior of two dimensional piecewise smooth domains. The background theory motivating the method is presented, and we…
Rational approximations of functions with singularities can converge at a root-exponential rate if the poles are exponentially clustered. We begin by reviewing this effect in minimax, least-squares, and AAA approximations on intervals and…
The convergence rates on polynomial interpolation in most cases are estimated by Lebesgue constants. These estimates may be overestimated for some special points of sets for functions of limited regularities. In this paper, by applying the…

We study the convergence rate of a hierarchy of upper bounds for polynomial minimization problems, proposed by Lasserre [SIAM J. Optim. 21(3) (2011), pp. 864-885], for the special case when the feasible set is the unit (hyper)sphere. The…
The hp-version of the finite element method is applied to singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion type equations on polygonal domains. The solution exhibits boundary layers as well as corner layers. On a class of meshes that are suitable…
We study the convergence rate of a hierarchy of upper bounds for polynomial optimization problems, proposed by Lasserre [SIAM J. Optim. 21(3) (2011), pp. 864-885], and a related hierarchy by De Klerk, Hess and Laurent [SIAM J. Optim. 27(1),…
Gopal and Trefethen recently introduced "lightning solvers" for the 2D Laplace and Helmholtz equations, based on rational functions with poles exponentially clustered near singular corners. Making use of the Goursat representation in terms…
The main task in this paper is to prove that the perfectly matched layers (PML) method converges exponentially with respect to the PML parameter, for scattering problems with periodic surfaces. In [5], a linear convergence is proved for the…
We prove precise rates of convergence for monotone approximation schemes of fractional and nonlocal Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations. We consider diffusion corrected difference-quadrature schemes from the literature and new…
We use the Stein-Chen method to study the extremal behaviour of the problem of extremes for univariate and bivariate geometric laws. We obtain a rate for the convergence to the Gumbel distribution of the law of the maximum of i. i. d.…
Performance of optimization on quadratic problems sensitively depends on the low-lying part of the spectrum. For large (effectively infinite-dimensional) problems, this part of the spectrum can often be naturally represented or approximated…
The aim of this note is to investigate the Kolmogorov distance of the Circular Law to the empirical spectral distribution of non-Hermitian random matrices with independent entries. The optimal rate of convergence is determined by the…
We show that optimal $L^2$-convergence in the finite element method on quasi-uniform meshes can be achieved if, for some $s_0 > 1/2$, the boundary value problem has the mapping property $H^{-1+s} \rightarrow H^{1+s}$ for $s \in [0,s_0]$.…
We consider the problem of minimizing a continuous function f over a compact set K. We analyze a hierarchy of upper bounds proposed by Lasserre in [SIAM J. Optim. 21(3) (2011), pp. 864--885], obtained by searching for an optimal probability…
