An SVD-approach to Jacobi-Davidson solution of nonlinear Helmholtz eigenvalue problems

Numerical solution of the Helmholtz equation in an infinite domain often involves restriction of the domain to a bounded computational window where a numerical solution method is applied. On the boundary of the computational window artificial transparent boundary conditions are posed, for example, widely used perfectly matched layers (PMLs) or absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs). Recently proposed transparent-influx boundary conditions (TIBCs) resolve a number of drawbacks typically attributed to PMLs and ABCs, such as introduction of spurious solutions and the inability to have a tight computational window. Unlike the PMLs or ABCs, the TIBCs lead to a nonlinear dependence of the boundary integral operator on the frequency. Thus, a nonlinear Helmholtz eigenvalue problem arises. \ud This paper presents an approach for solving such nonlinear eigenproblems which is based on a truncated singular value decomposition (SVD) polynomial approximation of the nonlinearity and subsequent solution of the obtained approximate polynomial eigenproblem with the Jacobi-Davidson method

Weighted norm inequalities for polynomial expansions associated to some measures with mass points

Fourier series in orthogonal polynomials with respect to a measure $\nu$ on $[-1,1]$ are studied when $\nu$ is a linear combination of a generalized Jacobi weight and finitely many Dirac deltas in $[-1,1]$. We prove some weighted norm inequalities for the partial sum operators $S_n$, their maximal operator $S^*$ and the commutator $[M_b, S_n]$, where $M_b$ denotes the operator of pointwise multiplication by b \in \BMO. We also prove some norm inequalities for $S_n$ when $\nu$ is a sum of a Laguerre weight on $\R^+$ and a positive mass on $0$

We present necessary and sufficient conditions on the Jost function for the corresponding Jacobi parameters $a_n -1$ and $b_n$ to have a given degree of exponential decay.Comment: 28 page

Fourth Moment Theorems for Markov Diffusion Generators

Inspired by the insightful article arXiv:1210.7587, we revisit the Nualart-Peccati-criterion arXiv:math/0503598 (now known as the Fourth Moment Theorem) from the point of view of spectral theory of general Markov diffusion generators. We are not only able to drastically simplify all of its previous proofs, but also to provide new settings of diffusive generators (Laguerre, Jacobi) where such a criterion holds. Convergence towards gamma and beta distributions under moment conditions is also discussed.Comment: 15 page
