Discontinuous piecewise polynomial approximation on non-Lipschitz domains
D P Hewett
We prove best approximation error estimates for discontinuous piecewise polynomial approximation in fractional Sobolev spaces on non-Lipschitz meshes of non-Lipschitz domains. In particular, the boundary of the domain, and the boundaries of the mesh elements, can be fractal.
The Gauss-Galerkin approximation method in nonlinear filtering
Fabien F. Campillo
We study an approximation method for the one-dimensional nonlinear filtering problem, with discrete time and continuous time observation. We first present the method applied to the Fokker-Planck equation. The convergence of the approximation is established. We finally present a numerical example.
Optimal separator for an ellipse; Application to localization
Luc Jaulin
This paper proposes a minimal contractor and a minimal separator for an ellipse in the plane. The task is facilitated using actions induced by the hyperoctahedral group of symmetries. An application related to the localization of an object using multiple sonars is proposed.

Layer-adapted meshes for weak boundary layers
Hans-Goerg Roos
We propose a new class of layer-adapted meshes for weak boundary layers. Especially for fourth-order problems these meshes are extremely useful.
Convergence Analysis of the Algorithm in "Efficient and Robust Discrete Conformal Equivalence with Boundary"
Denis Zorin
In this note we prove that the version of Newton algorithm with line search we used in [2] converges quadratically.

Spurious pressure in Scott-Vogelius elements
Chunjae Park
We will analyze the characteristics of Scott-Vogelius finite elements on singular vertices, which cause spurious pressures on solving Stokes equations. A simple postprocessing will be suggested to remove those spurious pressures.
Thermoplasticity as a nonsmooth phenomenon
François Demoures
This paper develops the multisymplectic formulation of nonsmooth elastoplastic phenomena, where the plastic deformation and the associated thermodynamic entropy evolve by jumps.
A Polynomial Spectral Calculus for Analysis of DG Spectral Element Methods
David A. Kopriva
We introduce a polynomial spectral calculus that follows from the summation by parts property of the Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto quadrature. We use the calculus to simplify the analysis of two multidimensional discontinuous Galerkin spectral element approximations.

Ivan Matychyn
A method for computation of the matrix Mittag-Leffler function is presented. The method is based on Jordan canonical form and implemented as a Matlab routine.

Nizare Riane, Claire David
In this work, we describe how to approximate solutions of some partial differential equations using the finite difference method defined on the Minkowski self-similar curve.

Volodymyr Makarov, Ihor Demkiv
Positive polynomial operator that approximates Urison operator, when integration domain is a "regular triangle" is investigated. We obtain Bernstein Polynomials as a particular case.
Imagerie laser
Jean-Baptiste Bellet, Gérard Berginc
We derive an original direct imaging method of an object. It is based on topological derivatives, and aims at inverting the amplitude of waves that are retropropagated after laser illuminations.
Computing material fronts with a Lagrange-Projection approach
Christophe Chalons, Frédéric Coquel
This paper reports investigations on the computation of material fronts in multi-fluid models using a Lagrange-Projection approach. Various forms of the Projection step are considered. Particular attention is paid to minimization of conservation errors.

Diego Armentano
We define a new condition number adapted to directionally uniform perturbations. The definitions and theorems can be applied to a large class of problems. We show the relation with the classical condition number, and study some interesting examples.

Paul Sablonnière
We describe some new univariate spline quasi-interpolants on uniform partitions of bounded intervals. Then we give some applications to numerical analysis: integration, differentiation and approximation of zeros.
