We consider convergence of the covolume or finite volume element solution to linear elliptic and parabolic problems. Error estimates and superconvergence results in the L norm, 2 p , are derived. We also show second-order convergence in the L norm between the covolume and the corresponding finite element solutions and between their gradients. The main tools used in this article are an extension...

The complete amino acid sequence of the biotinyl subunit from the enzyme transcarboxylase of Propionibacterium shermanii has been determined from the structures of overlapping tryptic and cyanogen bromide peptides together with sequenator analysis on the whole subunit. The subunit contains 123 amino acid residues. Eleven of nineteen residues in the region of biotin attachment, when compared to ...

In this paper we propose a bracket algebra based elimination method for automated generation of readable proofs for theorems in incidence geometry. This method is based on two techniques, the first being some heuristic elimination rules which improve the performance of the area method of Chou et al. (1994) without introducing signed length ratios, the second being a simplification technique cal...

The strong negative correlation over time between smoking rates and obesity have led some to suggest that reduced smoking is increasing weight gain in the U.S. This conclusion is supported by the findings of Chou et al. [Chou, S.-Y., Grossman, M., Saffer, H., 2004. An economic analysis of adult obesity: results from the behavioral risk factor surveillance system. Journal of Health Economics 23,...

Chou, Hsu and Shiue gave some applications of Faà di Bruno’s formula for the characterization of inverse relations. In this paper, we use partial Bell polynomials and binomial-type sequence of polynomials to develop complementary inverse relations.

In this paper, a method is presented to generate surface model of urban out-door environment using vehicle-borne laser range scanners, which have been developed in Konno et al.[11]. A classification is conducted first, where range points are divided into the groups of vertical building surface, road surface, other surface, window, tree and others, unknown objects. Erroneous measurement are corr...
