Multi-point Taylor Expansions of Analytic Functions
Taylor expansions of analytic functions are considered with respect to
several points, allowing confluence of any of them. Cauchy-type formulas are
given for coefficients and remainders in the expansions, and the regions of
convergence are indicated. It is explained how these expansions can be used in
deriving uniform asymptotic expansions of integrals. The method is also used
for obtaining Laurent expansions in several points as well as Taylor-Laurent
expansions.Comment: 20 pages, 7 figures. Keywords: multi-point Taylor expansions,

Stochastic collocation on unstructured multivariate meshes
Collocation has become a standard tool for approximation of parameterized
systems in the uncertainty quantification (UQ) community. Techniques for
least-squares regularization, compressive sampling recovery, and interpolatory
reconstruction are becoming standard tools used in a variety of applications.
Selection of a collocation mesh is frequently a challenge, but methods that
construct geometrically "unstructured" collocation meshes have shown great
potential due to attractive theoretical properties and direct, simple
generation and implementation. We investigate properties of these meshes,
presenting stability and accuracy results that can be used as guides for
generating stochastic collocation grids in multiple dimensions.Comment: 29 pages, 6 figure
The Zero-Removing Property and Lagrange-Type Interpolation Series
The classical Kramer sampling theorem, which provides a method for obtaining orthogonal sampling formulas, can be formulated in a more general nonorthogonal setting. In this setting, a challenging problem is to characterize the situations when the obtained nonorthogonal sampling formulas can be expressed as Lagrange-type interpolation series. In this article a necessary and sufficient condition is given in terms of the zero removing property. Roughly speaking, this property concerns the stability of the sampled functions on removing a finite number of their zeros
