Interval arithmetic with different definitions of intervals
Interval arithmetic normally deals with intervals defined as $[a,b]$ with rules like $$[a,b]+[c,d]=[a+c,b+d]$$ I am interested in interval arithmetic with different interval definitions such as $$\{a\}...

Asymptotics for the number of digits of the ratio of binomial coefficients
Let $a$ and $b$ be distinct positive real numbers. Let $(a_n)$ and $(b_n)$ be sequences of natural numbers such that $a_n\sim an$ and $b_n\sim bn$. All the limit relations here are for $n\to\infty$. ...

Non-trivial examples of regular Lagrangian flow in BV case
What is a concrete example of BV vector field $v$ with $\mathrm{div}\, v = 0$ that makes Ambrosio's theory of regular Lagrangian flow relevant?
With concrete I mean that we can compute the flow ...

Is there a classical textbook/reference on numerical discretization schemes?
I found that it is relatively easy to find a book that discusses Euler discretization or Runge-Kutta discretization, but I am not aware of one that is well-known and/or common knowledge (i.e., field-...

An alternative to the Euler--Maclaurin formula: Approximating sums by integrals only
The Euler--MacLaurin summation formula can be written as
$$ \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} f(k)\approx \int^{n-1}_0f(x)\,dx
+ \frac{f(n-1) + f(0)}2
+
\sum_{j=1}^m\frac{B_{2j}}{(2j)!}[f^{(2j - 1)}(n-1)...

Regular Lagrangian flow for the problem $\frac{d}{dt} X(t,x) = \chi_{\{x>0\}}(X(t,x))$
Consider the problem
$$(\star) \quad \begin{cases} \frac{d}{dt} X(t,x) = \chi_{\{x>0\}}(X(t,x)), &t \in [0,T],\\
X(0,x) = x, &x \in \mathbb R
\end{cases}
$$
where $\chi$ denotes the ...

Matrices and vectors of intervals
I'm working on a project and think that matrices and vectors of intervals will be useful.
I'm aware about interval arithmetic, but there is little information on the internet, regarding matrices and ...

Godunov splitting convergence research
The approximation of Godunov splitting on certain differential equations is known to be first order accurate. In 2011, a paper has also shown that it is first order accurate for nonlinear ordinary ...
