MODIFIED APPROXIMATE PROXIMAL POINT ALGORITHMS FOR FINDING ROOTS OF MAXIMAL MONOTONE OPERATORS

In order to find roots of maximal monotone operators, this paper introduces and studies the modified approximate proximal point algorithm with an error sequence {e k} such that || ek || \leqslant hk || xk - [(x)\tilde]k ||\left\| { e^k } \right\| \leqslant \eta _k \left\| { x^k - \tilde x^k } \right\| with ?k = 0￥ ( hk - 1 ) < + ￥\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty {\left( {\eta _k - 1} \right)} and infk \geqslant 0 hk = m\geqslant 1\mathop {\inf }\limits_{k \geqslant 0} \eta _k = \mu \geqslant 1 . Here, the restrictions on {η k} are very different from the ones on {η k}, given by He et al (Science in China Ser. A, 2002, 32 (11): 1026–1032.) that supk \geqslant 0 hk = v < 1\mathop {\sup }\limits_{k \geqslant 0} \eta _k = v . Moreover, the characteristic conditions of the convergence of the modified approximate proximal point algorithm are presented by virtue of the new technique very different from the ones given by He et al.

Modified Laguerre spectral and pseudospectral methods for nonlinear partial differential equations in multiple dimensions

The Laguerre spectral and pseudospectral methods are investigated for multidimensional nonlinear partial differential equations. Some results on the modified Laguerre orthogonal approximation and interpolation are established, which play important roles in the related numerical methods for unbounded domains. As an example, the modified Laguerre spectral and pseudospectral methods are proposed for two-dimensional Logistic equation. The stability and convergence of the suggested schemes are proved. Numerical results demonstrate the high accuracy of these approaches.

First-principles study of structural,electronic,and optical properties of cubic InAs_xN_yP_(1-x-y) triangular quaternary alloys

In this paper, we investigated the structural, electronic and optical properties of InAs, InN and InP binary compounds and their related ternary and quaternary alloys by using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave（FP-LAPW）method based on density functional theory（DFT）. The total energies, the lattice parameters, and the bulk modulus and its first pressure derivative were calculated using different exchange correlation approximations. The local density approach（LDA） and Tran–Blaha modified Becke–Johnson（TB-m BJ） approximations were used to calculate the band structure.Nonlinear variations of the lattice parameters, the bulk modulus and the band gap with compositions x and y are found.Furthermore, the optical properties and the dielectric function, refractive index and loss energy were computed. Our results are in good agreement with the validated experimental and theoretical data found in the literature.

An implicit algorithm based on iterative modified approximate factorization method coupling with characteristic boundary conditions for solving subsonic viscous flows

An algorithm composed of an iterative modified approximate factorization(MAF(k)) method with Navier-Stokes characteristic boundary conditions(NSCBC) is proposed for solving subsonic viscous flows.A transformation on the matrix equation in MAF(k) is made in order to impose the implicit boundary conditions properly.To be in consistent with the implicit solver for the interior domain,an implicit scheme for NSCBC is formulated.The performance of the developed algorithm is investigated using spatially evolving zero pressure gradient boundary layer over a flat plate and a wall jet mixing with a cross flow over a flat plate with a square hole as the test cases.The numerical results are compared to the existing experimental datasets and a number of general correlations,together with other available numerical solutions,which demonstrate that the developed algorithm possesses promising capacity for simulating the subsonic viscous flows with large CFL number.

A VARIATION ON THE BLOCK ARNOLDIMETHOD FOR LARGE UNSYMMETRIC MATRIX EIGENPROBLEMS

The approximate eigenvectors or Ritz vectors obtained by the block Arnoldi method may converge very slowly and even fail to converge even if the approximate eigenvalues do. In order to improve the quality of the Ritz vectors, a modified strategy is proposed such that new approximate eigenvectors are certain combinations of the Ritz vectors and the waSted (m+1) th block basis vector and their corresponding residual norms are minimized in a certain sense. They can be cheaply computed by solving a few small 'dimensional minimization problems. The resulting modified m-step block Arnoldi method is better than the standard m-step one in theory and cheaper than the standard (m+1)-step one. Based on this strategy, a modified m-step iterative block Arnoldi algorithm is presented. Numerical experiments are reported to show that the modified m-step algorithm is often considerably more efficient than the standard (m+1)-step iterative one.
