After linearization large, sparse systems of linear equations have to be solved. A well known problem is the occurrence of zero elements on the main diagonal. We describe ordering techniques of t...

A new complex Jacobi iterative technique adapted for the solution of three-dimensional (3D) wide-angle (WA) beam propagation is presented. The beam propagation equation for analysis of optical propagation in waveguide structures is based on a novel modified Padé(1,1) approximant operator, which gives evanescent waves the desired damping. The resulting approach allows more accurate approximation...

A coupled polarization-matrix inversion and iteration (CPII) method is described to achieve and accelerate the convergence of induced dipoles for condensed phase systems employing polarizable intermolecular potential functions (PIPF). The present PIPF is based on the Thole interaction dipole model in which all atomic pair interactions are considered, including those that are directly bonded cov...

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to design multiclass kernels based on an iterative combination of weak kernels in a schema inspired from the boosting framework. Our solution has a complexity linear with the training set size. We evaluate our method for classification on a toy example by integrating our multi-class kernel into a kNN classifier and comparing our results with a referen...

A bordered almost block diagonal system (BABD) results from discretizing and linearizing ordinary diierential equation (ODE) boundary value problems (BVPs) with non-separated boundary conditions (BCs) by either spline collocation, nite diierences, or multiple shooting. After internal condensation, if necessary, this BABD system reduces to a standard-nite diierence BABD structure. This system ca...

We consider linear matrix equations where the linear mapping is the sum of a standard Lyapunov operator and a positive operator. These equations play a role in the context of stochastic or bilinear control systems. To solve them efficiently one can fall back on known efficient methods developed for standard Lyapunov equations. In the present paper we describe a direct and an iterative method ba...

some algorithms for nding common xed point of a family of mappings isconstructed. indeed, let c be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformlyconvex banach space x whose norm is gateaux dierentiable and let {tn} bea family of self-mappings on c such that the set of all common fixed pointsof {tn} is nonempty. we construct a sequence {xn} generated by the hybridmethod and also we give the ...
