Convergence rates of the DPG method with reduced test space degree
This paper presents a duality theorem of the Aubin-Nitsche type for
discontinuous Petrov Galerkin (DPG) methods. This explains the numerically
observed higher convergence rates in weaker norms. Considering the specific
example of the mild-weak (or primal) DPG method for the Laplace equation, two
further results are obtained. First, the DPG method continues to be solvable
even when the test space degree is reduced, provided it is odd. Second, a
non-conforming method of analysis is developed to explain the numerically
observed convergence rates for a test space of reduced degree
A QoS-Aware Routing Protocol for Real-time Applications in Wireless Sensor Networks
The paper presents a quality of service aware routing protocol which provides
low latency for high priority packets. Packets are differentiated based on
their priority by applying queuing theory. Low priority packets are transferred
through less energy paths. The sensor nodes interact with the pivot nodes which
in turn communicate with the sink node. This protocol can be applied in
monitoring context aware physical environments for critical applications.Comment: 10 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1001.5339 by
