04401 Abstracts Collection – Algorithms and Complexity for Continuous

Authors: Thomas Müller-Gronbach, Erich Novak, Knut Petras, and Joseph F. Traub

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4401, Algorithms and Complexity for Continuous Problems (2005)

Abstract
From 26.09.04 to 01.10.04, the Dagstuhl Seminar ``Algorithms and Complexity for Continuous Problems'' was held in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section describes the seminar topics and goals in general. Links to extended abstracts or full papers are provided, if available.

04401 Summary – Algorithms and Complexity for Continuous Problems

Authors: Thomas Müller-Gronbach, Erich Novak, Knut Petras, and Joseph F. Traub

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4401, Algorithms and Complexity for Continuous Problems (2005)

Abstract
The goal of this workshop was to bring together researchers from different communities working on computational aspects of continuous problems. Continuous computational problems arise in many areas of science and engineering. Examples include path and multivariate integration, function approximation, optimization, as well as differential, integral, and operator equations. Understanding the complexity of such problems and constructing efficient algorithms is both important and challenging. The workshop was of a very interdisciplinary nature with invitees from, e.g., computer science, numerical analysis, discrete, applied, and pure mathematics, physics, statistics, and scientific computation. Many of the lectures were presented by Ph.D. students. Compared to earlier meetings, several very active research areas received more emphasis. These include Quantum Computing, Complexity and Tractability of high-dimensional problems, Stochastic Computation, and Quantization, which was an entirely new field for this workshop. Due to strong connections between the topics treated at this workshop many of the participants initiated new cooperations and research projects.

Optimal Approximation of Elliptic Problems by Linear and Nonlinear Mappings

Authors: Erich Novak, Stephan Dahlke, and Winfried Sickel

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4401, Algorithms and Complexity for Continuous Problems (2005)

Abstract
We study the optimal approximation of the solution of an operator equation Au=f by linear mappings of rank n and compare this with the best n-term approximation with respect to an optimal Riesz basis. We consider worst case errors, where f is an element of the unit ball of a Hilbert space. We apply our results to boundary value problems for elliptic PDEs on an arbitrary bounded Lipschitz domain. Here we prove that approximation by linear mappings is as good as the best n-term approximation with respect to an optimal Riesz basis. Our results are concerned with approximation, not with computation. Our goal is to understand better the possibilities of nonlinear approximation.

Optimal Approximation of Elliptic Problems II: Wavelet Methods

Authors: Stephan Dahlke, Erich Novak, and Winfried Sickel

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4401, Algorithms and Complexity for Continuous Problems (2005)

Abstract
This talk is concerned with optimal approximations of the solutions of elliptic boundary value problems. After briefly recalling the fundamental concepts of optimality, we shall especially discuss best n-term approximation schemes based on wavelets. We shall mainly be concerned with the Poisson equation in Lipschitz domains. It turns out that wavelet schemes are suboptimal in general, but nevertheless they are superior to the usual uniform approximation methods. Moreover, for specific domains, i.e., for polygonal domains, wavelet methods are in fact optimal. These results are based on regularity estimates of the exact solution in a specific scale of Besov spaces.
