Absolute value preconditioning for symmetric indefinite linear systems
We introduce a novel strategy for constructing symmetric positive definite
(SPD) preconditioners for linear systems with symmetric indefinite matrices.
The strategy, called absolute value preconditioning, is motivated by the
observation that the preconditioned minimal residual method with the inverse of
the absolute value of the matrix as a preconditioner converges to the exact
solution of the system in at most two steps. Neither the exact absolute value
of the matrix nor its exact inverse are computationally feasible to construct
in general. However, we provide a practical example of an SPD preconditioner
that is based on the suggested approach. In this example we consider a model
problem with a shifted discrete negative Laplacian, and suggest a geometric
multigrid (MG) preconditioner, where the inverse of the matrix absolute value
appears only on the coarse grid, while operations on finer grids are based on
the Laplacian. Our numerical tests demonstrate practical effectiveness of the
new MG preconditioner, which leads to a robust iterative scheme with minimalist
memory requirements
Method of variational calculation of influence of the propulsion plants of forestry machines upon the frozen and thawing soil grounds
The forests, which grow in the conditions of complete expansion of the perpetually frozen ground, are unique forests in accordance with their taxational characteristics, quality indicators of the felled timber, and the ecological functions, which these forests perform in the nature. They are characterised by the low biological productivity, as well as by the high vulnerability due to climatological changes and human economic activities. It is fair to say that conservation of the permafrost is one of the main functions of the forests, which grow within the cryolithozone. Because of this, it is necessary to ensure special regimes for the forestry management and forest exploitation within the forests of the cryolithozone. We formulated the variational problem in order to determine influence of the changeability of the physical and mechanical properties of the thawing soil ground at the boundary with the permafrost ground. © 2019 SERSC
Detection of mechanical resonance of a single-electron transistor by direct current
We have suspended an Al based single-electron transistor whose island can
resonate freely between the source and drain leads forming the clamps. In
addition to the regular side gate, a bottom gate with a larger capacitance to
the SET island is placed underneath to increase the SET coupling to mechanical
motion. The device can be considered as a doubly clamped Al beam that can
transduce mechanical vibrations into variations of the SET current. Our
simulations based on the orthodox model, with the SET parameters estimated from
the experiment, reproduce the observed transport characteristics in detail.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
JUSTIFICATION OF THE NEED FOR A UNIFIED APPROACH TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE PUBLIC EXTERNAL DEBT OF THE PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES OF THE EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION
In article it is told about the Eurasian Economic Union, stages of his formation and features of his budget, the question of the main macroeconomic indicators of the countries-participants of the Union, and also a question of dynamics and structure of their public debt
Metal-Insulator Transition in 2D: Experimental Test of the Two-Parameter Scaling
We report a detailed scaling analysis of resistivity \rho(T,n) measured for
several high-mobility 2D electron systems in the vicinity of the 2D
metal-insulator transition. We analyzed the data using the two parameter
scaling approach and general scaling ideas. This enables us to determine the
critical electron density, two critical indices, and temperature dependence for
the separatrix in the self-consistent manner. In addition, we reconstruct the
empirical scaling function describing a two-parameter surface which fits well
the \rho(T,n) data.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
