Formalization of mathematics is a major topic, that includes in particular numerical analysis, towards proofs of scientific computing programs. The present study is about the finite element method, a popular method to numerically solve…

The purpose of this paper is to solve the 0-1 $k$-item quadratic knapsack problem $(kQKP)$, a problem of maximizing a quadratic function subject to two linear constraints. We propose an exact method based on semidefinite optimization. The…

We prove a $C^1$ version of a conjecture by Pugh and Shub: among partially hyperbolic volume-preserving $C^r$ diffeomorphisms, $r>1$, the stably ergodic ones are $C^1$-dense. To establish these results, we develop new perturbation tools for…

Using the language of finite element exterior calculus, we define two families of $H^1$-conforming finite element spaces over pyramids with a parallelogram base. The first family has matching polynomial traces with tensor product elements…

We study the maximum modulus set, $\mathcal{M}(p)$, of a polynomial $p$. We are interested in constructing $p$ so that $\mathcal{M}(p)$ has certain exceptional features. Jassim and London gave a cubic polynomial $p$ such that…

We give a deterministic method of quasi-polynomial complexity to approximate the volume of the intersection of the unit hypercube with two specific sets. The method can actually be applied (without losing the quasi-polynomial complexity) to…

We study the dynamics of polynomial mappings f:C^k to C^k of degree at least 2 that extend continuously to projective space P^k. Our approach is to study the dynamics near the hyperplane at infinity and then making a descent to K --- the…

A question related to some conjectures of Lutwak about the affine quermassintegrals of a convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ asks whether for every convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and all $1\leqslant k\leqslant n$ $$\Phi_{[k]}(K):={\rm…

We propose a new analysis of convergence for a $k$th order ($k\ge 1$) finite element method, which is applied on Bakhvalov-type meshes to a singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problem. A novel interpolant is introduced, which has…

We prove that there exists a positive, explicit function $F(k, E)$ such that, for any group $G$ admitting a $k$-acylindrical splitting and any generating set $S$ of $G$ with $\mathrm{Ent}(G,S)<E$, we have $|S| \leq F(k, E)$. We deduce…

We present in this paper a rigorous theoretical framework to show stability, convergence and accuracy of improved edge-based and face-based smoothed finite element methods (bESFEM and bFS-FEM) for nearly-incompressible elasticity problems.…

We introduce a model of attractive penetrable spheres by adding a short range attractive square well outside a penetrable core, and we provide a detailed analysis of structural and thermodynamical properties in one dimension using the exact…

Let $\Omega$ be a convex open set in $\mathbb R^n$ and let $\Lambda_k$ be a finite subset of $\Omega$. We find necessary geometric conditions for $\Lambda_k$ to be interpolating for the space of multivariate polynomials of degree at most…

We find all K-polystable limits of divisors in $(\mathbb{P}^1)^4$ of degree $(1,1,1,1)$ and explicitly describe the associated irreducible component of the K-moduli space.

Many conforming finite elements on squares and cubes are elegantly classified into families by the language of finite element exterior calculus and presented in the Periodic Table of the Finite Elements. Use of these elements varies, based…

We produce an explicit family of totally real cyclic quartic polynomials that are monogenic in many cases and, if the $abc$ conjecture holds, generate distinct monogenic quartic fields infinitely often. Additional families (also…

Recovered finite element methods (R-FEM) have been recently introduced for meshes consisting of simplicial and/or box-type meshes. Here, utilising the flexibility of R-FEM framework, we extend their definition on polygonal and polyhedral…

The exact-sequence structure behind the Arnold--Douglas--Gupta family of higher-order mixed finite elements for plane elasticity on barycentric refinements is made explicit. On each macro triangle, the symmetric stress space is obtained by…

First we consider families in the hypercube $Q_n$ with bounded VC dimension. Frankl raised the problem of estimating the number $m(n,k)$ of maximal families of VC dimension $k$. Alon, Moran and Yehudayoff showed that…

In this paper, we present a new polygonal finite element method, called the Zipped Finite Element Method, for star-shaped polygons. The proposed approach constructs high-order shape functions as linear combinations of standard finite…
