These bounds were of a priori type, that is they held for a class of functions r equired to sati sfy only smoothness conditions . Hence one could approximate the (unknown) solution of one of these proble ms in terms of essentially arbitrary functions, and the inequaliti es gave bounds on the error. In this paper we derive s imilar a priori bounds in the three most common mixed boundary value problems for elastic plates . For simplicity we consider only the case of a simply conn ec ted region R whose boundary I consists of two disjoint portions II, and I 2 (each co nnected) on which different se ts of boundary conditions are imposed. It will be clear how the results are to be extended if II, and/or I 2 are not connec ted or if R is multiply connected. In this paper we shall res tric t our atte ntion to the proble m of obtaining bounds for the L2 integrals of an arbitrary sufficiently smooth function w in term s of L2 integrals of quantities which are data whenever the arbitrary fun c tion w is actually the solution u to the problem in ques tion. By use of mean value inequalities and the Rayleigh-Ritz technique as indicated in [2,3], the desired pointwise bounds are then obtained.

It is shown that an arithmetic mean of two observations from the rounded distribution is almost always superior to the es timator described above. The exception is where the rounding interval is so wide a nd the round ing lattice is so advantageously placed that the only real reason for taking repeat measure me nts would be as a protection against gross errors.","PeriodicalId":408709,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards Section B Mathematics and Mathematical Physics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125967918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
