The Apostle Table - Part Iii - Incompetent Endogenous Response Intransitivity, David Randall Jenkins Sep 2007

The Apostle Table - Part Iii - Incompetent Endogenous Response Intransitivity, David Randall Jenkins

David Randall Jenkins

The Apostle Table illustrates a New Testament encryption scheme revealed in the Book of Matthew. Specifically, the list of the twelve apostles in Matthew, 10:1-4, points to the Matthew, Chapters 8 and 9, disciple characterizations. The disciples metaphorically characterize the social choice theory aspect of the scripture writers' (ordered relations theory: social choice theory: welfare model) regression. The paper is written in two parts: I. The Exogenous Pressures; and, II. The Endogenous Response. Interestingly, the paper explains why the crucified Jesus could not get off the cross.


A Decomposition Algorithm For N-Player Games, Robert B. Wilson, Srihari Govindan Aug 2007

A Decomposition Algorithm For N-Player Games, Robert B. Wilson, Srihari Govindan

Robert B Wilson

An N-player game can be decomposed by adding a coordinator who interacts bilaterally with each player. The coordinator proposes profiles of strategies to the players, and his payoff is maximized when players' optimal replies agree with his proposal. When the feasible set of proposals is finite, a solution of an associated linear complementarity problem yields an equilibrium of the approximate game and thus an approximate equilibrium of the original game. Computational efficiency is improved by using vertices of a triangulation of the players' strategy space for the coordinator's pure strategies. Computational experience is reported.

Newton's Method For Solving A System Of Dual Fuzzy Nonlinear Equations, Saeid Abbasbandy Jan 2007

Newton's Method For Solving A System Of Dual Fuzzy Nonlinear Equations, Saeid Abbasbandy

Saeid Abbasbandy

In this paper, we propose a numerical solution for a system of dual fuzzy nonlinear equations by Newton’s method. The fuzzy quantities are presented in parametric form. Some numerical illustrations are given to show the efficiency of algorithm.


Variational Iteration Method - Some Recent Results And New Interpretations, Ji-Huan He Jan 2007

Variational Iteration Method - Some Recent Results And New Interpretations, Ji-Huan He

Ji-Huan He

This paper is an elementary introduction to the concepts of variational iteration method. First, the main concepts in variational iteration method, such as general Lagrange multiplier, restricted variation, correction functional, are explained heuristically. Subsequently, the solution procedure is systematically addressed, in particular, for nonlinear oscillators. Particular attention is paid throughout the paper to give an intuitive grasp for the method. The main motivation is to put things together in a convenient form for later reference and systematic use.

Application Of Ansys In Seismic Response Analysis Of Constructing Of High Buildings, Yang Xiaojun Jan 2007

Application Of Ansys In Seismic Response Analysis Of Constructing Of High Buildings, Yang Xiaojun

Xiao-Jun Yang

The dynamic feature of high buildings is discussed in the present study with the application of ANSYS,the large finite element analysis software,aimed at the analysis of dynamic response of high buildings.Based on the case of a 15一story-building,a model of beam and shell 3-D finite element structure is built and the frequency of structure and the mode of vibration are computed in the study;furthermore,the structural dynamic response is discussed under different seismic waves with the use of the history analysis method.The results show that the more intense the seismic wave is,the bigger is the dynamic response of the buildings.The information can …


Laser Capture Sampling And Analytical Issues In Proteomics, Howard Gutstein, Jeffrey S. Morris Jan 2007

Laser Capture Sampling And Analytical Issues In Proteomics, Howard Gutstein, Jeffrey S. Morris

Jeffrey S. Morris

Proteomics holds the promise of evaluating global changes in protein expression and post-translational modificaiton in response to environmental stimuli. However, difficulties in achieving cellular anatomic resolution and extracting specific types of proteins from cells have limited the efficacy of these techniques. Laser capture microdissection has provided a solution to the problem of anatomical resolution in tissues. New extraction methodologies have expanded the range of proteins identified in subsequent analyses. This review will examine the application of laser capture microdissection to proteomic tissue sampling, and subsequent extraction of these samples for differential expression analysis. Statistical and other quantitative issues important for …


Variational Iteration Method: New Development And Applications, Ji-Huan He, Xu-Hong Wu Jan 2007

Variational Iteration Method: New Development And Applications, Ji-Huan He, Xu-Hong Wu

Ji-Huan He

Variational iteration method has been favourably applied to various kinds of nonlinear problems. The main property of the method is in its flexibility and ability to solve nonlinear equations accurately and conveniently. In this paper recent trends and developments in the use of the method are reviewed. Major applications to nonlinear wave equation, nonlinear fractional differential equations, nonlinear oscillations and nonlinear problems arising in various engineering applications are surveyed. The confluence of modem mathematics and symbol computation has posed a challenge to developing technologies capable of handling strongly nonlinear equations which cannot be successfully dealt with by classical methods. Variational …
