Interpolation strategies in repeated Richardson extrapolation

We discuss the interpolation strategies related to Richardson extrapolation and repeated Richardson extrapolation. We emphasize that, in most computations, the interest is in obtaining accurate solution on the current computational grid, not that on the coarse level grids on which the extrapolated solutions reside. We tackle the interpolation issue that has largely been overlooked in Richardson...

Extrapolation Method for Fuzzy Dierential Inclusions

Habitat , the Templet for Ecological Strategies ?

The very etymology of Ecology, from the greek 'Qikos', 'the household', implies that ecologists should devote some attention to the 'house' or habitat of the population or community they are studying. However, as Charles Elton (1966) has so forcibly pointed out, 'definition of habitats, or rather lack of it, is one of the chief blind spots in Zoology'. Elton himself has provided us with a quali...

Navigation strategies with ecological displays

Ecological interface design (EID) has shown success as an approach for interface design in the case of a process control microworld. However, in applying the EID approach to larger systems, questions arise as how to support the navigation and integration of abstract information. In this study, three ecological displays were developed for a simulated power plant from the same abstraction hierarc...
