TLDR
This report contains a description of the typical topics covered in a two-semester sequence in Numerical Analysis, and describes the accuracy, efficiency and robustness of these algorithms.Abstract:
Introduction. Mathematical approximations have been used since ancient times to estimate solutions, but with the rise of digital computing the field of numerical analysis has become a discipline in its own right. Numerical analysts develop and study algorithms that provide approximate solutions to various types of numerical problems, and they analyze the accuracy, efficiency and robustness of these algorithms. As technology becomes ever more essential for the study of mathematics, learning algorithms that provide approximate solutions to mathematical problems and understanding the accuracy of such approximations becomes increasingly important. This report contains a description of the typical topics covered in a two-semester sequence in Numerical Analysis.read more

Neural-network methods for boundary value problems with irregular boundaries
TL;DR: Two networks are employed: a multilayer perceptron and a radial basis function network to account for the exact satisfaction of the boundary conditions of complex boundary geometry.

Recent Developments in Parameter Estimation and Structure Identification of Biochemical and Genomic Systems
I-Chun Chou,Eberhard O. Voit +1 more
TL;DR: The article presented here reviews the field of inverse modeling within BST and proposes an operational 'work-flow' that guides the user through the estimation process, identifies possibly problematic steps, and suggests corresponding solutions based on the specific characteristics of the various available algorithms.

Slip correction measurements of spherical solid aerosol particles in an improved Millikan apparatus
Michael D. Allen,Otto G. Raabe +1 more
TL;DR: A slip correction factor was used to correct Stokes' law for the fact that the no-slip boundary condition is violated for small aerosol particles moving with respect to the gaseous medium as discussed by the authors.

Sets of Matrices All Infinite Products of Which Converge
TL;DR: In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a finite set Z to be an RCP set having a limit function M,(d) = rIT= lAd, where d = (d,,., d,,. ), which is a continuous function on the space of all sequences d with the sequence topology.

Synchronization on small-world networks
TL;DR: Phase synchronization is observed to emerge in the presence of even a tiny fraction P of shortcuts and to display saturated behavior for P > or similar to 0.5, indicating that the same synchronizability as the random network (P=1) can be achieved with relatively small number of shortcuts.
