Abstract:
Pro optimalizaci letových trajektorií ve velmi malé nadmorské výšce, terenní vlastnosti musí být zahrnuty velice přesne. Proto rychlá a efektivní evaluace terenních dat je velice důležitá vzhledem nato, že čas potrebný pro optimalizaci musí být co nejkratší. Navyše, na optimalizaci letové trajektorie se využívájí metody založené na výpočtu gradientu. Proto musí být aproximační funkce terenních dat spojitá do určitého stupne derivace. Velice nádejná metoda na aproximaci terenních dat je aplikace víceroměrných simplex polynomů. Cílem této práce je implementovat funkci, která vyhodnotí dané teren

Abstract:
We study the approximate answers to OLAP queries on data warehouses. We consider the relative answers to OLAP queries on a schema, as distributions with the L1 distance and approximate the answers without storing the entire data warehouse. We first introduce three specific methods: the uniform sampling, the measure-based sampling and the statistical model. We introduce also an edit distance between data warehouses with edit operations adapted for data warehouses. Then, in the OLAP data exchange, we study how to sample each source and combine the samples to approximate any OLAP query. We next c

This thesis is concerned with the least-squares approximation of discrete data that appear to exhibit asymptotic behaviour. In particular, we consider using rational functions as they are able to display a number of types of asymptotic behaviour. The research is biased towards the development of simple and easily implemented algorithms that can be used for this purpose. We discuss a number of novel approximation forms, including the Semi-Infinite Rational Spline and the Asymptotic Polynomial.

Abstract:
Many highly developed physical models poorly approximate actual physical systems due to natural random noise. For example, convection in the earth's mantle—a fundamental process for understanding the geochemical makeup of the earth's crust and the geologic history of the earth—exhibits chaotic behavior, so it is difficult to model accurately. In addition, it is impossible to directly measure temperature and fluid viscosity in the mantle, and any indirect measurements are not guaranteed to be highly accurate.

Kernel-based approximation methods provide optimal recovery procedures in the native Hilbert spaces in which they are reproducing.

The interest for this decomposition is twofold. On one hand, the subspaces generated by eigenfunctions, or eigenbasis elements, are L2 -optimal trial spaces in the sense of widths.

Through the exploitation of data-sparsity ---a catch all term for savings gained from a variety of approximations--- it is possible to reduce the computational cost of accurate electronic structure calculations to linear. Meaning, that the total time to solution for the calculation grows at the same rate as the number of particles that are correlated. Multiple techniques for exploiting data-sparsity are discussed, with a focus on those that can be systematically improved by tightening numerical parameters such that as the parameter approaches zero the approximation becomes

Dynamical systems are a commonly used and studied tool for simulation, optimization and design. In many applications such as inverse problem, optimal control, shape optimization and uncertainty quantification, those systems typically depend on a parameter.

Since these models need to be simulated for a variety of parameter values, the computational burden they incur becomes increasingly difficult.

The analysis of big data is of great interest today, and this comes with challenges of improving precision and efficiency in estimation and prediction. We study binary data with covariates from numerous small areas, where direct estimation is not reliable, and there is a need to borrow strength from the ensemble. This is generally done using Bayesian logistic regression, but because there are numerous small areas, the exact computation for the logistic regression model becomes challenging.

For a small number of intervals the consequences of the choice is demonstrated by instructive examples. For increasing number of individuals we give the asymptotically optimal partition.

When approximating heat transfer through a streambed, an understanding of the thermal properties of the sediments is essential (e.g., thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and density).
