On the “Preconditioning ” Function Used in Planewave DFT Calculations and its Generalization
"... Received xxx; Accepted (in revised version) xxx Abstract. The Teter, Payne, and Allan “preconditioning ” function plays a significant role in planewave DFT calculations. This function is often called the TPA precondi-tioner. We present a detailed study of this “preconditioning ” function. We develop ..."

Preconditioning stochastic Galerkin saddle point systems
- SIAM J. MATRIX ANAL. APPL
, 2009
"... Mixed finite element discretizations of deterministic second-order elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) lead to saddle point systems for which the study of iterative solvers and preconditioners is mature. Galerkin approximation of solutions of stochastic second-order elliptic PDEs, which ..."

, approximated via a nonlinear function of a finite number of unbounded random parameters. We study the resulting saddle point systems and investigate the efficiency of block-diagonal preconditioners of Schur complement and augmented type, for use with minres. By introducing so-called Kronecker product
Simulating Water and Smoke with an Octree Data Structure
, 2004
"... We present a method for simulating water and smoke on an unrestricted octree data structure exploiting mesh refinement techniques to capture the small scale visual detail. We propose a new technique for discretizing the Poisson equation on this octree grid. The resulting linear system is symmetric ..."

, 1999
"... Let A be a symmetric matrix and let f be a smooth function defined on an interval containing the spectrum of A. Generalizing a well-known result of Demko, Moss and Smith on the decay of the inverse we show that when A is banded, the entries of f(A)are bounded in an exponentially decaying manner away ..."

Multilevel functional preconditioning for shape optimisation
- Int. J. for CFD
, 2006
"... We study the application of a multi-level preconditioner to a prac-tical optimal shape design problem. The preconditioner is based on the Bramble-Pasciak-Xu series. We extend it to the unstructured parametrization of 3D shapes by using the volume-agglomeration heuris-tics. The choice of the smoothin ..."

Postischaemic functional recovery was recorded in the following groups: (1) control; (2) treatment with 0.1 WM bradykinin for 10 min before ischaemia (BK
Multigrid Preconditioning and Toeplitz Matrices

This approach allows Multigrid methods for general Toeplitz systems as long as we have some information on the underlying function. Furthermore, we can define projections
