The embedded boundary method for solving elliptic and parabolic problems in geometrically complex domains using Cartesian meshes by Johansen and Colella (1998, J. Comput. Phys. 147, 60) has been extended for elliptic and parabolic problems with interior boundaries or interfaces of discontinuities of material properties or solutions. Second order accuracy is achieved in space and time for both stationary and moving interface problems. The method is conservative for elliptic and parabolic problems with fixed interfaces. Based on this method, a front tracking algorithm for the Stefan problem has been developed. The accuracy of the method is measured through comparison with exact solution to a two-dimensional Stefan problem. The algorithm has been used for the study of melting and solidification problems.

The generalized extreme-value distribution (GEVD) was introduced by Jenkinson (1955). It is now widely used to model extremes of natural and environmental data. The GEVD has three parameters: a location parameter (- infinity < lambda < infinity), a scale parameter (alpha > 0) and a shape parameter (- infinity < k < infinity). The traditional methods of estimation (e.g., the maximum likelihood and the moments-based methods) have problems either because the range of the distribution depends on the parameters, or because the mean and higher moments do not exist when k less-than-or-equal-to -1. The currently favoured estimators are those obtained by the method of probability-weighted moments (PWM). The PWM estimators are good for cases where - 1/2 < k < 1/2. Outside this range of k, the PWM estimates may not exist and if they do exist they cannot be recommended because their performance worsens as k increases. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating the parameters and quantiles of the GEVD. The estimators are well-defined for all possible combinations of parameter and sample values. They are also easy to compute as they are based on equations which involve only one variable (rather than three). A simulation study is implemented to evaluate the performance of the proposed method and to compare it with the PWM. The simulation results seem to indicate that the proposed method is comparable to the PWM for - 1/2 < k < 1/2 but outside this range it gives a better performance. Two real-life environmental data sets are used to illustrate the methodology.

A localized Fourier collocation method is proposed for solving certain types of elliptic boundary value *** method first discretizes the entire domain into a set of overlapping small subdomains,and then in each of the subdomains,the unknown functions and their derivatives are approximated using the pseudo-spectral Fourier collocation *** key idea of the present method is to combine the merits of the quick convergence of the pseudo-spectral method and the high sparsity of the localized discretization technique to yield a new framework that may be suitable for large-scale *** present method can be viewed as a competitive alternative for solving numerically large-scale boundary value problems with complex-shape *** numerical experiments involving Poisson,Helmholtz,and modified-Helmholtz equations in both two and three dimensions are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
The overall purpose of this paper is to define a new metric on the spreadability of a disease. Herein, we define a variant of the well-known graph-theoretic burning number (BN) metric that we coin the contagion number...
