Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Numerical analysis is a natural link between pure mathematics and computer science. The array of problems faced in science and engineering can be tackled via the development of mathematical models that can then be via methods of numerical analysis. Numerical methods used to solve the mentioned models, as well as their applications in mathematics and generally in sciences and technologies, are often the subject of scientific computing. Numerical analysis most commonly finds uses in mathematics and applied mathematics, while scientific computing is an interdisciplinary field with applications in computer science and mathematics, but also in the various engineering and science disciplines.

This Special Issue of Mathematics, entitled “Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing for Applied Mathematics”, invites the submission of both original research and review papers that bring together new methods of numerical analysis and scientific computing for use in applied mathematics.

Articles can involve theory, algorithms, programming, coding, numerical simulation and/or novel applications of computational techniques to problems in science and engineering. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to: approximation theory, methods of numerical linear algebra, numerical methods for solving non-linear equations and systems, methods of numerical differentiation and integration (quadrature and cubature),  optimization methods, finite element methods, finite difference methods, finite volume methods, meshless and particle methods, numerical methods for ordinary and partial differential equations, numerical methods for integral equations, etc., and their applications for solving real problems in areas of science and engineering.

Conventional methods for solving inverse wave problems struggle with ill-posedness, significant computational demands, and discretization errors. In this study, we propose an innovative framework for solving inverse problems in wave equations by using deep learning techniques with spacetime radial basis functions (RBFs). The proposed method capitalizes on the pattern recognition strength of deep neural networks (DNNs) and the precision of spacetime RBFs in capturing spatiotemporal dynamics. By utilizing initial conditions, boundary data, and radial distances to construct spacetime RBFs, this approach circumvents the need for wave equation discretization. Notably, the model maintains accuracy even with incomplete or noisy boundary data, illustrating its robustness and offering significant advancements over traditional techniques in solving wave equations.

Gaussian quadrature rules are commonly used to approximate integrals with respect to a non-negative measure dσ^. It is important to be able to estimate the quadrature error in the Gaussian rule used. A common approach to estimating this error is to evaluate another quadrature rule that has more nodes and higher algebraic degree of precision than the Gaussian rule, and use the difference between this rule and the Gaussian rule as an estimate for the error in the latter. This paper considers the situation when dσ^ is a Chebyshev measure that is modified by a linear factor and a linear divisor, and investigates whether the rules in a recently proposed new class of quadrature rules for estimating the error in Gaussian rules are internal, i.e., if all nodes of the new quadrature rules are in the interval (1,1). These new rules are defined by two measures, one of which is a modified Chebyshev measure dσ^. The other measure is auxiliary. Full article
