Monotonicity of quadrature approximations

Monotonicity in Romberg Quadrature

Monotonicity of one or more derivatives of the integrand is shown to imply a corresponding property of the approximating Romberg scheme. This is of importance in connection with error estimation by majorants [6]. The monotonicity properties are derived from an elementary study of the kernel functions involved. A possible explanation is given of the monotonicity which frequently occurs in applic...

Monotonicity and Iterative Approximations Involving Rectangular Matrices

A new characterization of row-monotone matrices is given and is related to the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse. The M-matrix concept is extended to rectangular matrices with full column rank. A structure theorem is provided for all matrices A with full column rank for which the generalized inverse A+ & 0. These results are then used to investigate convergent splittings of rectangular matrices...

On Monotonicity-Preserving Stabilized Finite Element Approximations of Transport Problems

The aim of this work is to design monotonicity-preserving stabilized finite element techniques for transport problems as a blend of linear and nonlinear (shock-capturing) stabilization. As linear stabilization, we consider and analyze a novel symmetric projection stabilization technique based on a local Scott-Zhang projector. Next, we design a weighting of the aforementioned linear stabilizatio...

Approximations of hypersingular integral equations by the quadrature method

A numerical method is proposed and investigated for the hypersingular integral equations defined in Banach spaces. The hypersingular integral equations belong to a wider class of singular integral equations having much more stronger singularities. The proposed approximation method is an extension beyond the quadrature method. Moreover an error estimates theory is introduced for the hypersingula...
