Study of the modifications needed for effective operation NASTRAN on IBM virtual storage computers

The necessary modifications were determined to make NASTRAN operational under virtual storage operating systems (VS1 and VS2). Suggested changes are presented which will make NASTRAN operate more efficiently under these systems. Estimates of the cost and time involved in design, coding, and implementation of all suggested modifications are included

Optimality of generalized Bernstein operators

AbstractWe show that a certain optimality property of the classical Bernstein operator also holds, when suitably reinterpreted, for generalized Bernstein operators on extended Chebyshev systems

Cardinal interpolation with polysplines on annuli

AbstractCardinal polysplines of order p on annuli are functions in C2p-2Rn⧹0 which are piecewise polyharmonic of order p such that Δp-1S may have discontinuities on spheres in Rn, centered at the origin and having radii of the form ej, j∈Z. The main result is an interpolation theorem for cardinal polysplines where the data are given by sufficiently smooth functions on the spheres of radius ej and center 0 obeying a certain growth condition in j. This result can be considered as an analogue of the famous interpolation theorem of Schoenberg for cardinal splines

Fischer decompositions for entire functions and the Dirichlet problem for parabolas

Let $P_{2k}$ be a homogeneous polynomial of degree $2k$ and assume that there exist $C>0$, $D>0$ and $\alpha \ge 0$ such that \begin{equation*} \left\langle P_{2k}f_{m},f_{m}\right\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{S}^{d-1})}\geq \frac{1}{C\left( m+D\right) ^{\alpha }}\left\langle f_{m},f_{m}\right\rangle_{\mathbb{S}^{d-1}} \end{equation*} for all homogeneous polynomials $f_{m}$ of degree $m.$ Assume that $P_{j}$ for $j=0, \dots ,\beta <2k$ are homogeneous polynomials of degree $j$. The main result of the paper states that for any entire function $f$ of order there exist entire functions $q$ and $h$ of order bounded by $\rho$ such that \begin{equation*} f=\left( P_{2k}-P_{\beta }- \dots -P_{0}\right) q+h\text{ and }\Delta ^{h}r=0. \end{equation*} This result is used to establish the existence of entire harmonic solutions of the Dirichlet problem for parabola-shaped domains on the plane, with data given by entire functions of order smaller than $\frac{1}{2}$.Comment: 27 page
