Functional Tucker Approximation Using Chebyshev Interpolation

Daniel Kressner, Christoph Max Strössner

This work is concerned with approximating a trivariate function defined on a tensor-product domain via function evaluations. Combining tensorized Chebyshev interpolation with a Tucker decomposition of low multilinear rank yields function approximations tha ...

Coarse graining and large-N behavior of the d-dimensional N-clock model

Matthias Benjamin Ruf

We study the asymptotic behavior of the N-clock model, a nearest neighbors ferromagnetic spin model on the d-dimensional cubic epsilon-lattice in which the spin field is constrained to take values in a discretization S-N of the unit circle S-1 consisting o ...

Dictionary Learning for Two-Dimensional Kendall Shapes

Michaël Unser, Julien René Fageot, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

We propose a novel sparse dictionary learning method for planar shapes in the sense of Kendall, namely configurations of landmarks in the plane considered up to similitudes. Our shape dictionary method provides a good trade-off between algorithmic simplici ...

Controlling oscillations in high-order Discontinuous Galerkin schemes using artificial viscosity tuned by neural networks

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Deep Ray, Niccolo' Discacciati

High-order numerical solvers for conservation laws suffer from Gibbs phenomenon close to discontinuities, leading to spurious oscillations and a detrimental effect on the solution accuracy. A possible strategy to reduce it comprises adding a suitable amoun ...

Low-Rank Tensor Approximation for Chebyshev Interpolation in Parametric Option Pricing

Daniel Kressner, Francesco Statti, Kathrin Beatrice Glau

Treating high dimensionality is one of the main challenges in the development of computational methods for solving problems arising in finance, where tasks such as pricing, calibration, and risk assessment need to be performed accurately and in real-time. ...

High-order essentially nonoscillatory methods based on radial basis functions

Fabian Mönkeberg

Essentially nonoscillatory (ENO) and weighted ENO (WENO) methods on equidistant Cartesian grids are widely employed to solve partial differential equations with discontinuous solutions. However, stable ENO/WENO methods on unstructured grids are less well s ...

Local Vulnerabilities and Global Robustness of Coupled Dynamical Systems on Complex Networks

Melvyn Sandy Tyloo

Coupled dynamical systems are omnipresent in everyday life. In general, interactions between individual elements composing the system are captured by complex networks. The latter greatly impact the way coupled systems are functioning and evolving in time. ...

Fourier interpolation on the real line

Maryna Viazovska

In this paper we construct an explicit interpolation formula for Schwartz functions on the real line. The formula expresses the value of a function at any given point in terms of the values of the function and its Fourier transform on the set {0,+/- 1,+/- ...

Solving Continuous-Domain Problems Exactly with Multiresolution B-Splines

Michaël Unser, Julien René Fageot, Thomas Jean Debarre, Harshit Gupta

We propose a discretization method for continuous-domain linear inverse problems with multiple-order total-variation (TV) regularization. It is based on a recent result that proves that such inverse problems have sparse polynomial-spline solutions. Our met ...

A New Approach For American Option Pricing: The Dynamic Chebyshev Method

Kathrin Beatrice Glau

We introduce a new method to price American options based on Chebyshev interpolation. In each step of a dynamic programming time-stepping we approximate the value function with Chebyshev polynomials. The key advantage of this approach is that it allows us ...

Entropy stable essentially non-oscillatory methods based on RBF reconstructions

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Fabian Mönkeberg

To solve hyperbolic conservation laws on general grids we propose to use high-order essentially nonoscillatory methods based on radial basis functions. We introduce an entropy stable arbitrary high-order finite dierence method (RBF-TeCNOp) and an entropy s ...

An artificial neural network as a troubled-cell indicator

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Deep Ray

High-resolution schemes for conservation laws need to suitably limit the numerical solution near discontinuities, in order to avoid Gibbs oscillations. The solution quality and the computational cost of such schemes strongly depend on their ability to corr ...

Isogeometric approximation of cardiac electrophysiology models on surfaces: An accuracy study with application to the human left atrium

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Toni Mikael Lassila, Alessandro Samuele Patelli, Andrea Bartezzaghi

We consider Isogeometric Analysis in the framework of the Galerkin method for the spatial approximation of cardiac electrophysiology models defined on NURBS surfaces; specifically, we perform a numerical comparison between basis functions of degree p >= 1 ...

Sampling and (Sparse) Stochastic Processes: A Tale of Splines and Innovation
