Nonstandard Kernels and their Applications

چکیده
Besides using standard radial basis functions, there are a few good reasons to look for kernels with special properties. This survey will provide several examples, starting from an introduction into kernel construction techniques. After providing the “missing” Wendland functions, we focus on kernels based on series expansions. These have some very interesting special cases, namely polynomial and periodic kernels, and “Taylor” kernels for which the reproduction formula coincides with the Taylor formula. Finally, we review the use of kernels as particular or fundamental solutions of PDEs, look at harmonic kernels and kernels generating divergence–free vector fields. Numerical examples will be provided as we are going along.

Positivity-preserving nonstandard finite difference Schemes for simulation of advection-diffusion reaction equations
Systems in which reaction terms are coupled to diffusion and advection transports arise in a wide range of chemical engineering applications, physics, biology and environmental. In these cases, the components of the unknown can denote concentrations or population sizes which represent quantities and they need to remain positive. Classical finite difference schemes may produce numerical drawback...
متن کاملNonstandard explicit third-order Runge-Kutta method with positivity property
When one solves differential equations, modeling physical phenomena, it is of great importance to take physical constraints into account. More precisely, numerical schemes have to be designed such that discrete solutions satisfy the same constraints as exact solutions. Based on general theory for positivity, with an explicit third-order Runge-Kutta method (we will refer to it as RK3 method) pos...
متن کاملSpectral Density Estimation and Robust Hypothesis Testing Using Steep Origin Kernels without Truncation By
A new class of kernels for long-run variance and spectral density estimation is developed by exponentiating traditional quadratic kernels. Depending on whether the exponent parameter is allowed to grow with the sample size, we establish different asymptotic approximations to the sampling distribution of the proposed estimators. When the exponent is passed to infinity with the sample size, the n...
متن کاملA New Approach to Nonstandard Analysis
In this paper, we propose a new approach to nonstandard analysis without using the ultrafilters. This method is very simple in practice. Moreover, we construct explicitly the total order relation in the new field of the infinitesimal numbers. To illustrate the importance of this work, we suggest comparing a few applications of this approach with the former methods.
متن کاملPointwise Kernels of Schwartz Distributions
We show that Schwartz distributions have kernels in the class of the pointwise nonstandard functions. The main purpose of this note is to show that every Schwartz distribution T G 3' has a kernel /: *Rd —> *C in the class of the pointwise nonstandard functions in the sense that (1) (T,p)= [ f(xy<p(x)dx for all <p G 3, where *<p is the nonstandard extension of (p. Recall that, in general, the Sc...
