We study the optimal approximation of the solution of an operator equation Au=f by linear and nonlinear mappings. We identify those cases where optimal nonlinear approximation is better than optimal linear approximation.

We study the optimal approximation of the solution of an operator equation by certain n-term approximations with respect to specific classes of frames. We study worst case errors and the optimal order of convergence and define suitable…

While the theory of operator approximation with any given accuracy is well elaborated, the theory of {best constrained} constructive operator approximation is still not so well developed. Despite increasing demands from applications this…

Nonlinear elliptic problems arise in many fields, including plasma physics, astrophysics, and optimal transport. In this article, we propose a novel operator-splitting/finite element method for solving such problems. We begin by introducing…

In this paper, we develop and study algorithms for approximately solving the linear algebraic systems: $\mathcal{A}_h^\alpha u_h = f_h$, $ 0< \alpha <1$, for $u_h, f_h \in V_h$ with $V_h$ a finite element approximation space. Such problems…

In this paper we consider efficient algorithms for solving the algebraic equation ${\mathcal A}^\alpha {\bf u}={\bf f}$, $0< \alpha <1$, where ${\mathcal A}$ is a symmetric and positive definite matrix obtained form finite difference or…

We obtain sharp pointwise estimates for positive solutions to the equation $-Lu+Vu^q=f$, where $L$ is an elliptic operator in divergence form, $q\in\mathbb{R}\setminus \{0\}$, $f\geq 0$ and $V$ is a function that may change sign, in a…

When approximating elliptic problems by using specialized approximation techniques, we obtain large structured matrices whose analysis provides information on the stability of the method. Here we provide spectral and norm estimates for…

We consider optimal route planning when the objective function is a general nonlinear and non-monotonic function. Such an objective models user behavior more accurately, for example, when a user is risk-averse, or the utility function needs…

Linear approximations of the AC power flow equations are of great significance for the computational efficiency of large-scale optimal power flow (OPF) problems. Put differently, the feasibility of the obtained solution is essential for…

This paper surveys recent analytical and numerical research on linear problems for the integral fractional Laplacian, fractional obstacle problems, and fractional minimal graphs. The emphasis is on the interplay between regularity,…

Parametric optimization solves a family of optimization problems as a function of parameters. It is a critical component in situations where optimal decision making is repeatedly performed for updated parameter values, but computation…

A functional differential equation related to the logistic equation is studied by a combination of numerical and perturbation methods. Parameter regions are identified where the solution to the nonlinear problem is approximated well by…

We are concerned with the almost automorphic solutions to the second-order elliptic differential equations of type $\ddot u(s) + 2 B \dot u(s) + A u(s) = f(s) (\ast),$ where $A, B$ are densely defined closed linear operators acting in a…

Several applied problems are characterized by the need to numerically solve equations with an operator function (matrix function). In particular, in the last decade, mathematical models with a fractional power of an elliptic operator and…

We clarify how close a second order fully nonlinear equation can come to uniform ellipticity, through counting large eigenvalues of the linearized operator. This suggests an effective and novel way to understand the structure of fully…

We study solution techniques for a linear-quadratic optimal control problem involving fractional powers of elliptic operators. These fractional operators can be realized as the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for a nonuniformly elliptic problem…

We propose an adaptive finite element algorithm to approximate solutions of elliptic problems whose forcing data is locally defined and is approximated by regularization (or mollification). We show that the energy error decay is…

We propose and analyze a new discretization technique for a linear-quadratic optimal control problem involving the fractional powers of a symmetric and uniformly elliptic second oder operator; control constraints are considered. Since these…

We obtain a comparison result for solutions to nonlinear fully anisotropic elliptic problems by means of anisotropic symmetrization. As consequence we deduce a priori estimates for norms of the relevant solutions.
