Form of differential calculus in which instead of a function y = f(x)â€”which has one variableâ€”a function of two or more variables is considered; for example, z = f(x,y). Such functions represent a surface in three-dimensional space.

Considering vectorial integrals in the multidimensional calculus of variations and quasilinear elliptic systems of partial differential equations, we prove gradient regularity of minimizers and weak solutions, respectively. In contrast to the classical theory, we impose our assumptions on the...

We present an overlapping domain decomposition technique for solving the Laplace-Beltrami equation on the sphere with spherical splines. We prove that the condition number of the additive Schwarz operator is bounded by $O\left(H^2/h^2\right)$, where H and h are the sizes of the coarse and fine...
