### Role of the numerical flux in DG-FEM

I am learning the theory behind DG-FEM methods using the Hesthaven/Warburton book and I am a bit confused about the role of the 'numerical flux.' I apologize if this is a basic question, but I have ...

### Comparing Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods for nonlinear iterations

It is well known that for certain linear systems Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel iterative methods have the same convergence behavior, e.g. Stein-Rosenberg Theorem. I am wondering if similar results exist for ...

### For noisy or fine-structured data, are there better quadratures than the midpoint rule?

Only the first two sections of this long question are essential. The others are just for illustration. Background Advanced quadratures such as higher-degree composite Newton–Cotes, Gauß–Legendre, ...

### How to Run MPI-3.0 in shared memory mode like OpenMP

I am parallelizing code to numerically solve a 5 Dimensional population balance model. Currently I have a very good MPICH2 parallelized code in FORTRAN but as we increase parameter values the arrays ...

### Operator Splitting methods for DAEs

After doing some research, I've found that most of the literature on operator splitting methods (e.g. Strang Splitting, Fractional Step, etc.) are specifically designed for a standard problem type of ...

### DG local equation, how to interpret mean-averaged test function

In the paper http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045782509003521, an HDG element-local equation is described on page 584 equation (4), with one of the equations taking the following ...

### Fast Eigenvalue and SVD Solver for Structured Matrices

I am looking for a fast Eigenvalue and SVD solver for small dense structured matrices (Hankel and Toeplitz). I have searched for efficient implementations in libraries like MKL but I am not able to ...
