• #### On numerical regularity of the face-to-face longest-edge bisection algorithm for tetrahedral partitions ﻿

(Science of Computer Programming, 2014-12-31)
The finite element method usually requires regular or strongly regular families of partitions in order to get guaranteed a priori or a posteriori error estimates. In this paper we examine the recently invented longest-edge ...

(Computer Aided Geometric Design, 2015-12-31)
In this note we introduce the conforming longest-edge $n$-section algorithm and show that for $n \ge 4$ it produces a family of triangulations which does not satisfy the maximum angle condition.

(Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems, 2011-12-31)
We study the possible regularization of collision solutions for one centre problems with a weak singularity. In the case of logarithmic singularities, we consider the method of regularization via smoothing of the potential. ...

We introduce optimal quadrature rules for spline spaces that are frequently used in Galerkin discretizations to build mass and stiffness matrices. Using the homotopy continuation concept (Barton and Calo, 2016) that ...
