jeudi 18 mars 2010 , 14h30 Intervenant : Hassane SADOK (LMPA) ------------- Titre : Extrapolation vectorielle et applications. ------ Résumé: -------- The convergence of iterates determined by a slowly convergent iterative process often can be accelerated by extrapolation methods. In this talk we will give a survey of vector extrapolation methods such as the reduced rank extrapolation (RRE) of Eddy and Mesina, the minimal polynomial extrapolation (MPE) of Cabay and Jackson, the modified minimal polynomial extrapolation (MMPE) of Brezinski and Pugachev and the topological epsilon-algorithm (TEA) of Brezinski. Using projectors, we derive a different interpretation of these methods and give some theoretical results. The second part of this talk is devoted to some numerical applications of the vector extrapolationmethods to some problems involving linear, nonlinear systems of equations obtained from finite-difference or finite-element discretization of continuum problems. The truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD) is a popular solution method for small to moderately sized linear ill-posed problems. The truncation index can be thought of as a regularization parameter; its value affects the quality of the computed approximate solution. The choice of a suitable value of the truncation index generally is important, but can be difficult without auxiliary information about the problem being solved. We will describes how vector extrapolation methods can be combined with TSVD, and illustrates that the determination of the proper value of the truncation index is less critical for the combined extrapolation-TSVD method than for TSVD alone.
