In this paper, we give a comprehensive review of the classical approximation property. Then, we present some important results on modern variants, such as the weak bounded approximation property, the strong approximation property and p-approximation property. Most recent progress on E-approximation property and open problems are discussed at the end.
We give an overview of a number of algebraic multigrid methods targeting finite element discretization problems. The focus is on the properties of the constructed hierarchy of coarse spaces that guarantee (two-grid) convergence. In particular, a necessary condition known as "weak approximation property," and a sufficient one, referred to as "strong approximation property," are discussed. Their role in proving convergence of the TG method (as iterative method) and also on the approximation properties of the algebraic mottigrid (AMG) coarse spaces if used as discretization tool is pointed out. Some preliminary numerical results illustrating the latter aspect are also reported.
AbstractA field F satisfies n-linkage on a subset of Ḟ if whenever the quaternion algebrasare equal in Br(F) there exist z ∈ Ḟ withfor i = 1, 2, . . ., n. This linkage of quaternion algebras is examined and its relationship to the torsion freeness of I2(F) and to the strong approximation property is investigated.
