TL;DR: A survey of the results known to date about quadrature formulas obtained by variable transformation followed by an application of the trapezoidal rule with an equal mesh size focuses on an asymptotically optimal formula called the double exponential formula, abbreviated as the DE-rule, which is characterized by thedouble exponential decrease of its weights in the neighborhood of the end points of the transformed interval of integration.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: It is investigated whether certain structural properties of a traffic network can be identified by an analysis of the spectrum of its adjacency matrix by analysing the values of the RSPs in the matrix.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the weak limit of this sequence of measures and gave some results on the rate of this asymptotic behaviour, in particular the results show how the behaviour of the spectral measure, with respect to which the polynomials are orthogonal, affects this asyptotic zero behaviour.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the numerical solution of second kind Fredholm integral equations in one dimension by using the collocation method and its iterated variant, and they gave a corresponding superconvergence result for the iterated collocation solution when continuous piecewise polynomials with no continuity requirements on the derivatives are used.

TL;DR: In this paper, a boundary element method is developed to solve the steady convective diffusion equation in n dimensions, where the transformation into the selfadjoint or symmetric operator is used under a certain assumption, and a boundary integral equation is derived from the Green's second identity.

Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the Stieltjes integral is exploited for summation of Fourier series by numerical integration, where the coefficients of the series are given analytically, and then the numerator of the integrand is determined by the aid of the inverse of the two-sided Laplace transform, while the denominator is standard for all power series.
