The Large-Scale Velocity Field

I summarize both observational and theoretical developments in the last few years in measuring and understanding the large-scale velocity field of galaxies, with special attention to the bulk flow, or average peculiar velocity, within spheres centered on the Local Group.Comment: 12 pages standard Latex (w/figures).

Stability of Quadratic Projection Methods

In this paper we discuss the stability of an alternative pollution-free procedure for computing spectra. The main difference with the Galerkin method lies in the fact that it gives rise to a weak approximate problem which is quadratic in the spectral parameter, instead of linear. Previous accounts on this new procedure can be found in Levitin and Shargorodsky (2002) [math.SP/0212087] and Boulton (2006) [math.SP/0503126].Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures.
