Global Stability Of Worms In Computer Network, Bimal Kumar Mishra, Aditya Kumar Singh Dec 2010

Global Stability Of Worms In Computer Network, Bimal Kumar Mishra, Aditya Kumar Singh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

An attempt has been made to show the impact of non-linearity of the worms through SIRS (susceptible – infectious – recovered - susceptible) and SEIRS (susceptible – exposed – infectious – recovered - susceptible) e-epidemic models in computer network. A very general form of non-linear incidence rate has been considered satisfying the worm propagating behavior in computer network. The concavity conditions with a non-linear incidence rate and under the constant population size assumption are shown to be stable. Such systems have either a unique and stable endemic equilibrium state or no endemic equilibrium state at all; in the latter case, …

Solutions Of Nonlinear Second Order Multi-Point Boundary Value Problems By Homotopy Perturbation Method, S. Das, Sunil Kumar, O. P. Singh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we present an algorithm for the numerical solution of the second order multi- point boundary value problem with suitable multi boundary conditions. The algorithm is based on the homotopy perturbation approach and the solutions are calculated in the form of a rapid convergent series. It is observed that the method gives more realistic series solutions that converge very rapidly in physical problems. Illustrative numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency and simplicity of the proposed method in solving this type of multipoint boundary value problems.

Analytical Computation Of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Modes And N-Width Approximations For The Heat Equation With Boundary Control, Tasha N. Fernandez

Masters Theses

Model reduction is a powerful and ubiquitous tool used to reduce the complexity of a dynamical system while preserving the input-output behavior. It has been applied throughout many different disciplines, including controls, fluid and structural dynamics. Model reduction via proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is utilized for of control of partial differential equations. In this thesis, the analytical expressions of POD modes are derived for the heat equation. The autocorrelation function of the latter is viewed as the kernel of a self adjoint compact operator, and the POD modes and corresponding eigenvalues are computed by solving homogeneous integral equations of the …

Homotopy Perturbation Method And The Stagnation Point Flow, P. Donald Ariel Aug 2010

Homotopy Perturbation Method And The Stagnation Point Flow, P. Donald Ariel

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The laminar steady flow of an incompressible, viscous fluid near a stagnation point has been computed using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). Both the cases, (i) two-dimensional flow and (ii) axisymmetric flow, have been considered. A sequence of successive approximations has been obtained in the solution, and the convergence of the sequence is achieved by using the Padé approximants. It is found that there is a complete agreement between the results obtained by the HPM and the exact numerical solution.

Multistage Homotopy Analysis Method For Solving Nonlinear Integral Equations, H. Jafari, M. A. Firoozjaee Aug 2010

Multistage Homotopy Analysis Method For Solving Nonlinear Integral Equations, H. Jafari, M. A. Firoozjaee

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we present an efficient modification of the homotopy analysis method (HAM) that will facilitate the calculations. We then conduct a comparative study between the new modification and the homotopy analysis method. This modification of the homotopy analysis method is applied to nonlinear integral equations and mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations, which yields a series solution with accelerated convergence. Numerical illustrations are investigated to show the features of the technique. The modified method accelerates the rapid convergence of the series solution and reduces the size of work.


Optimal Control Of Species Augmentation Conservation Strategies, Erin Nicole Bodine Aug 2010

Optimal Control Of Species Augmentation Conservation Strategies, Erin Nicole Bodine

Doctoral Dissertations

Species augmentation is a method of reducing species loss via augmenting declining or threatened populations with individuals from captive-bred or stable, wild populations. In this dissertation, species augmentation is analyzed in an optimal control setting to determine the optimal augmentation strategies given various constraints and settings. In each setting, we consider the effects on both the target/endangered population and a reserve population from which the individuals translocated in the augmentation are harvested. Four different optimal control formulations are explored. The first two optimal control formulations model the underlying population dynamics with a system of ordinary differential equations. Each of these …

A Resource Based Stage-Structured Fishery Model With Selective Harvesting Of Mature Species, T. K. Kar, Swarnakamal Misra

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper we have considered a model in which revenue is generated from fishing and the growth of the fish depends upon the plankton which in turn follows a logistic law of growth. Here the fish population has two stages, a juvenile stage and a mature stage and we consider the harvesting of the mature fish species. Stability and permanence of the system are discussed. Maximum sustainable yield, maximum economic yield and optimal sustainable yield are obtained and different tax policies are discussed to achieve the reference points.

Comparison Differential Transformation Technique With Adomian Decomposition Method For Dispersive Long-Wave Equations In (2+1)-Dimensions, M. A. Mohamed

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we will introduce two methods to obtain the numerical solutions for the system of dispersive long-wave equations (DLWE) in (2+1)-dimensions. The first method is the differential transformation method (DTM) and the second method is Adomian decomposition method (ADM). Moreover, we will make comparison between the solutions obtained by the two methods. Consequently, the results of our system tell us the two methods can be alternative ways for solution of the linear and nonlinear higher-order initial value problems.

Approximations Of Sturm-Liouville Eigenvalues Using Sinc-Galerkin And Differential Transform Methods, Marwan Taiseer Alquran, Kamel Al-Khaled

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we present a comparative study of Sinc-Galerkin method and differential transform method to solve Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem. As an application, a comparison between the two methods for various celebrated Sturm-Liouville problems are analyzed for their eigenvalues and solutions.

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

A theoretical investigation is carried out for contribution of the higher-order nonlinearity to nonlinear dust-acoustic solitary waves (DASWs) in an unmagnetized two types of dust fluids (one cold and the other is hot) in the presence of Bolltzmannian ions and electrons. A KdV equation that contains the lowest-order nonlinearity and dispersion is derived from the lowest order of perturbation and a linear inhomogeneous (KdV-type) equation that accounts for the higher-order nonlinearity and dispersion is obtained. A stationary solution for equations resulting from higher-order perturbation theory has been found using the renormalization method. The effects of hot and cold dust charge …


Variational Iteration Method For Solving Two-Parameter Singularly Perturbed Two Point Boundary Value Problem, Marwan Taiseer Alquran, Nurettin Doğan Jun 2010

Variational Iteration Method For Solving Two-Parameter Singularly Perturbed Two Point Boundary Value Problem, Marwan Taiseer Alquran, Nurettin Doğan

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, He’s Variational iteration method (VIM) is used for the solution of singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems with two small parameters multiplying the derivatives. Some problems are solved to demonstrate the applicability of the method. This paper suggests a patern for choosing the freely selected initial approximation in the VIM that leads to a very well approximation by only one iteration.

A Generalized Nonlinear Model For The Evolution Of Low Frequency Freak Waves, Jonathan Blackledge Jan 2010

A Generalized Nonlinear Model For The Evolution Of Low Frequency Freak Waves, Jonathan Blackledge

Articles

This paper presents a generalized model for simulating wavefields associated with the sea surface. This includes the case when `freak waves' may occur through an effect compounded in the nonlinear (cubic) Schrodinger equation. After providing brief introductions to linear sea wave models, `freak waves' and the linear and nonlinear Schrodinger equations, we present a unified model that provides for a piecewise continuous transition from a linear to a nonlinear state. This is based on introducing a fractional time derivative to develop a fractional nonlinear partial differential equation with a stochastic source function. In order to explore the characteristics of this …


Metastability And Plasticity In A Conceptual Model Of Neurons, Bo Deng Jan 2010

Metastability And Plasticity In A Conceptual Model Of Neurons, Bo Deng

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

For a new class of neuron models we demonstrate here that typical membrane action potentials and spike-bursts are only transient states but appear to be asymptotically stable; and yet such metastable states are plastic — being able to dynamically change from one action potential to another with different pulse frequencies and from one spike-burst to another with different spike-per-burst numbers. The pulse and spike-burst frequencies change with individual ions’ pump currents while their corresponding metastable-plastic states maintain the same transmembrane voltage and current profiles in range. It is also demonstrated that the plasticity requires two one-way ion pumps operating in …
