#### Algorithms To Approximate Solutions Of Poisson's Equation In Three Dimensions, Ray Dambrose

##### Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal

The focus of this research was to develop numerical algorithms to approximate solutions of Poisson's equation in three dimensional rectangular prism domains. Numerical analysis of partial differential equations is vital to understanding and modeling these complex problems. Poisson's equation can be approximated with a finite difference approximation. A system of equations can be formed that gives solutions at internal points of the domain. A computer program was developed to solve this system with inputs such as boundary conditions and a nonhomogenous source function. Approximate solutions are compared with exact solutions to prove their accuracy. The program is tested ...

Analytical Wave Solutions Of The Space Time Fractional Modified Regularized Long Wave Equation Involving The Conformable Fractional Derivative, 2019 Jessore University of Science and Technology

#### Analytical Wave Solutions Of The Space Time Fractional Modified Regularized Long Wave Equation Involving The Conformable Fractional Derivative, M. Hafiz Uddin, Md. Ashrafuzzaman Khan, M. Ali Akbar, Md. Abdul Haque

##### Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

The space time fractional modified regularized long wave equation is a model equation to the gravitational water waves in the long-wave occupancy, shallow waters waves in coastal seas, the hydro-magnetic waves in cold plasma, the phonetic waves in dissident quartz and phonetic gravitational waves in contractible liquids. In nonlinear science and engineering, the mentioned equation is applied to analyze the one way tract of long waves in seas and harbors. In this study, the closed form traveling wave solutions to the above equation are evaluated due to conformable fractional derivatives through double (G'⁄G,1⁄G)-expansion method and the ...

Creating A Computational Tool To Simulate Vibration Control For Piezoelectric Devices, 2018 Western Kentucky University

#### Creating A Computational Tool To Simulate Vibration Control For Piezoelectric Devices, Ahmet Ozkan Ozer, Emma J. Moore

##### Posters-at-the-Capitol

Piezoelectric materials have the unique ability to convert electrical energy to mechanical vibrations and vice versa. This project takes a stab to develop a reliable computational tool to simulate the vibration control of a novel “partial differential equation” model for a piezoelectric device, which is designed by integrating electric conducting piezoelectric layers constraining a viscoelastic layer to provide an active and lightweight intelligent structure. Controlling unwanted vibrations on piezoelectric devices (or harvesting energy from ambient vibrations) through piezoelectric layers has been the major focus in cutting-edge engineering applications such as ultrasonic welders and inchworms. The corresponding mathematical models for piezoelectric ...

#### Two Applications Of High Order Methods: Wave Propagation And Accelerator Physics, Oleksii Beznosov

##### Shared Knowledge Conference

Numerical simulations of partial differential equations (PDE) are used to predict the behavior of complex physics phenomena when the real life experiments are expensive. Discretization of a PDE is the representation of the continuous problem as a discrete problem that can be solved on a computer. The discretization always introduces a certain inaccuracy caused by the numerical approximation. By increasing the computational cost of the numerical algorithm the solution can be computed more accurately. In the theory of numerical analysis this fact is called the convergence of the numerical algorithm. The idea behind high order methods is to improve the ...

Boundary Homogenization And Capture Time Distributions Of Semipermeable Membranes With Periodic Patterns Of Reactive Sites, 2018 Harvey Mudd College

#### Boundary Homogenization And Capture Time Distributions Of Semipermeable Membranes With Periodic Patterns Of Reactive Sites, Andrew J. Bernoff, Daniel Schmidt, Alan E. Lindsay

##### All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

We consider the capture dynamics of a particle undergoing a random walk in a half- space bounded by a plane with a periodic pattern of absorbing pores. In particular, we numerically measure and asymptotically characterize the distribution of capture times. Numerically we develop a kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method that exploits exact solutions to create an efficient particle- based simulation of the capture time that deals with the infinite half-space exactly and has a run time that is independent of how far from the pores one begins. Past researchers have proposed homogenizing the surface boundary conditions, replacing the reflecting (Neumann ...

#### Reduction Of Multivariate Mixtures And Its Applications, Xinshuo Yang

##### Applied Mathematics Graduate Theses & Dissertations

We consider a fast deterministic algorithm to identify the "best" linearly independent terms in multivariate mixtures and use them to compute an equivalent representation with fewer terms, up to user-selected accuracy. Our algorithm employs the well-known pivoted Cholesky decomposition of the Gram matrix constructed using terms of the mixture. Importantly, the multivariate mixtures do not have to be a separated representation of a function and complexity of the algorithm is independent of the number of variables (dimensions). The algorithm requires $\mathcal{O}\left(r^{2}N\right)$ operations, where $N$ is the initial number of terms in a multivariate mixture ...

#### On The Well-Posedness And Global Boundary Controllability Of A Nonlinear Beam Model, Jessie Jamieson

##### Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research Papers in Mathematics

The theory of beams and plates has been long established due to works spanning many fields, and has been explored through many investigations of beam and plate mechanics, controls, stability, and the well-posedness of systems of equations governing the motions of plates and beams. Additionally, recent investigations of flutter phenomena by Dowell, Webster et al. have reignited interest into the mechanics and stability of nonlinear beams. In this thesis, we wish to revisit the seminal well-posedness results of Lagnese and Leugering for the one dimensional, nonlinear beam from their 1991 paper, "Uniform stabilization of a nonlinear beam by nonlinear boundary ...

#### Adaptive Meshfree Methods For Partial Differential Equations, Jaeyoun Oh

##### Dissertations

There are many types of adaptive methods that have been developed with different algorithm schemes and definitions for solving Partial Differential Equations (PDE). Adaptive methods have been developed in mesh-based methods, and in recent years, they have been extended by using meshfree methods, such as the Radial Basis Function (RBF) collocation method and the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS). The purpose of this dissertation is to introduce an adaptive algorithm with a residual type of error estimator which has not been found in the literature for the adaptive MFS. Some modifications have been made in developing the algorithm schemes depending ...

Full Field Computing For Elastic Pulse Dispersion In Inhomogeneous Bars, 2018 Tallinn University of Technology

#### Full Field Computing For Elastic Pulse Dispersion In Inhomogeneous Bars, A. Berezovski, R. Kolman, M. Berezovski, D. Gabriel, V. Adamek

##### Publications

In the paper, the finite element method and the finite volume method are used in parallel for the simulation of a pulse propagation in periodically layered composites beyond the validity of homogenization methods. The direct numerical integration of a pulse propagation demonstrates dispersion effects and dynamic stress redistribution in physical space on example of a one-dimensional layered bar. Results of numerical simulations are compared with analytical solution constructed specifically for the considered problem. Analytical solution as well as numerical computations show the strong influence of the composition of constituents on the dispersion of a pulse in a heterogeneous bar and ...

Spectra Of Quantum Trees And Orthogonal Polynomials, 2018 Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College

#### Spectra Of Quantum Trees And Orthogonal Polynomials, Zhaoxia Wang

##### LSU Doctoral Dissertations

We investigate the spectrum of regular quantum-graph trees, where the edges are endowed with a Schr\"odinger operator with self-adjoint Robin vertex conditions. It is known that, for large eigenvalues, the Robin spectrum approaches the Neumann spectrum. In this research, we compute the lower Robin spectrum. The spectrum can be obtained from the roots of a sequence of orthogonal polynomials involving two variables. As the length of the quantum tree increases, the spectrum approaches a band-gap structure. We find that the lowest band tends to minus infinity as the Robin parameter increases, whereas the rest of the bands remain positive ...

Dual-Norm Least-Squares Finite Element Methods For Hyperbolic Problems, 2018 University of Colorado, Boulder

#### Dual-Norm Least-Squares Finite Element Methods For Hyperbolic Problems, Delyan Zhelev Kalchev

##### Applied Mathematics Graduate Theses & Dissertations

Least-squares finite element discretizations of first-order hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are proposed and studied. Hyperbolic problems are notorious for possessing solutions with jump discontinuities, like contact discontinuities and shocks, and steep exponential layers. Furthermore, nonlinear equations can have rarefaction waves as solutions. All these contribute to the challenges in the numerical treatment of hyperbolic PDEs.

The approach here is to obtain appropriate least-squares formulations based on suitable minimization principles. Typically, such formulations can be reduced to one or more (e.g., by employing a Newton-type linearization procedure) quadratic minimization problems. Both theory and numerical results are presented.

Properties And Convergence Of State-Based Laplacians, 2018 University of Nebraska - Lincoln

#### Properties And Convergence Of State-Based Laplacians, Kelsey Wells

##### Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research Papers in Mathematics

The classical Laplace operator is a vital tool in modeling many physical behaviors, such as elasticity, diffusion and fluid flow. Incorporated in the Laplace operator is the requirement of twice differentiability, which implies continuity that many physical processes lack. In this thesis we introduce a new nonlocal Laplace-type operator, that is capable of dealing with strong discontinuities. Motivated by the state-based peridynamic framework, this new nonlocal Laplacian exhibits double nonlocality through the use of iterated integral operators. The operator introduces additional degrees of flexibility that can allow better representation of physical phenomena at different scales and in materials with different ...

Automatic Construction Of Scalable Time-Stepping Methods For Stiff Pdes, 2018 The University of Southern Mississippi

#### Automatic Construction Of Scalable Time-Stepping Methods For Stiff Pdes, Vivian Montiforte

##### Master's Theses

Krylov Subspace Spectral (KSS) Methods have been demonstrated to be highly scalable time-stepping methods for stiff nonlinear PDEs. However, ensuring this scalability requires analytic computation of frequency-dependent quadrature nodes from the coefficients of the spatial differential operator. This thesis describes how this process can be automated for various classes of differential operators to facilitate public-domain software implementation.

Energy Calculations And Wave Equations, 2018 Missouri State University

#### Energy Calculations And Wave Equations, Ellen R. Hunter

##### MSU Graduate Theses

The focus of this thesis is to show how methods of Fourier analysis, in particular Parseval’s equality, can be used to provide explicit energy calculations for solutions of wave equations in one dimension. These calculations are discussed for simple examples and then extended to ﬁt the general wave equation with Robin boundary conditions. Ideas from Sobolev space theory are used to provide justiﬁcation of the method.
