Improving Fourier Partial Sum Approximation for Discontinuous Functions Using a Weight Function by Beong In Yun

“…Using wm(r;x), we develop a weighted averaging method in order to improve Fourier partial sum approximation for a function having a jump-discontinuity. The method is based on the decomposition of the target function into the left-hand and the right-hand part extensions. …”

An Algorithm for Restoring a Function from Different Functionals for Predicting Rare Events in the Economy by Yu. A. Korablev

“…Formulas for calculating the cross-validation score CV (α) for the automatic procedure for determining the smoothing parameter α from the data in our problem of recovering a function by many functionals are shown. The paper concludes that the presented method makes it possible to analyze and predict rare events, which will allow you to prepare for such future events, get some benefit from this, or reduce possible risks or losses.…”

Magnons from time-dependent density-functional perturbation theory and nonempirical Hubbard functionals by Luca Binci, Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov

“…However, accurately modeling these in transition-metal and rare-earth compounds remains a formidable challenge. Here, we present a fully first-principles approach for calculating spin-wave spectra based on time-dependent (TD) density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT), using nonempirical Hubbard functionals. …”
