Semi-analytic geometry with R-functions

V Shapiro - ACTA numerica, 2007 - cambridge.org
VL Rvachev called R-functions 'logically charged functions' because they encode complete
logical information within the standard setting of real analysis. He invented them in the …

Finite volume methods for hyperbolic conservation laws

KW Morton, T Sonar - Acta Numerica, 2007 - cambridge.org
Finite volume methods apply directly to the conservation law form of a differential equation
system; and they commonly yield cell average approximations to the unknowns rather than …

Modelling atmospheric flows

Filters, mollifiers and the computation of the Gibbs phenomenon

E Tadmor - Acta Numerica, 2007 - cambridge.org
We are concerned here with processing discontinuous functions from their spectral
information. We focus on two main aspects of processing such piecewise smooth data …

On completeness of RFM solution structures
