A New Adjustment Of Laplace Transform For Fractional Bloch Equation In Nmr Flow, Sunil Kumar, Devendra Kumar, U. S. Mahabaleshwar
A New Adjustment Of Laplace Transform For Fractional Bloch Equation In Nmr Flow, Sunil Kumar, Devendra Kumar, U. S. Mahabaleshwar
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
This work purpose suggest a new analytical technique called the fractional homotopy analysis transform method (FHATM) for solving time fractional Bloch NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) flow equations, which are a set of macroscopic equations that are used for modeling nuclear magnetization as a function of time. The true beauty of this article is the coupling of the homotopy analysis method and the Laplace transform method for systems of fractional differential equations. The solutions obtained by the proposed method indicate that the approach is easy to implement and computationally very attractive.

Reliable Study Of Nonhomogeneous Bbm Equation With Time-Dependent Coefficients By The Modified Sine-Cosine Method, Aminah Qawasmeh, Marwan Alquran
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
The modified sine-cosine method is an efficient and powerful mathematical tool in finding exact traveling wave solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (NLPDEs) with time-dependent coefficients. In this paper, the proposed approach is applied to study a nonhomogeneous generalized form of Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM) equation with time-dependent coefficients. Explicit traveling wave solutions of the equation are obtained under certain constraints on the coefficient functions.

Graph Partitioning Using Matrix Values For Preconditioning Symmetric Positive Definite Systems, Eugenr Vecharynski, Yousef Saad, Masha Sosonkina
Graph Partitioning Using Matrix Values For Preconditioning Symmetric Positive Definite Systems, Eugenr Vecharynski, Yousef Saad, Masha Sosonkina
Computational Modeling & Simulation Engineering Faculty Publications
Prior to the parallel solution of a large linear system, it is required to perform a partitioning of its equations/unknowns. Standard partitioning algorithms are designed using the considerations of the efficiency of the parallel matrix-vector multiplication, and typically disregard the information on the coefficients of the matrix. This information, however, may have a significant impact on the quality of the preconditioning procedure used within the chosen iterative scheme. In the present paper, we suggest a spectral partitioning algorithm, which takes into account the information on the matrix coefficients and constructs partitions with respect to the objective of enhancing the quality …
Infinitely Many Rotationally Symmetric Solutions To A Class Of Semilinear Laplace-Beltrami Equations On The Unit Sphere, Emily M. Fischer
Infinitely Many Rotationally Symmetric Solutions To A Class Of Semilinear Laplace-Beltrami Equations On The Unit Sphere, Emily M. Fischer
HMC Senior Theses
I show that a class of semilinear Laplace-Beltrami equations has infinitely many solutions on the unit sphere which are symmetric with respect to rotations around some axis. This equation corresponds to a singular ordinary differential equation, which we solve using energy analysis. We obtain a Pohozaev-type identity to prove that the energy is continuously increasing with the initial condition and then use phase plane analysis to prove the existence of infinitely many solutions.

Algebraic Structures On Finite Complex Modulo Integer Interval C([0, N)), Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book authors introduce the notion of finite complex modulo integer intervals. Finite complex modulo integers was introduced by the authors in 2011. Now using this finite complex modulo integer intervals several algebraic structures are built. Further the concept of finite complex modulo integers itself happens to be new and innovative for in case of finite complex modulo integers the square value of the finite complex number varies with varying n of Zn. In case of finite complex modulo integer intervals also we can have only pseudo ring as the distributive law is not true, in general in C([0, …
Further Generalization Of N-D Distance And N-D Dependent Function In Extenics, Florentin Smarandache
Further Generalization Of N-D Distance And N-D Dependent Function In Extenics, Florentin Smarandache
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
Prof. Cai Wen [1] defined the 1-D Distance and 1-D Dependent Function in 1983. F. Smarandache [6] generalized them to n-D Distance and n-D Dependent Function respectively in 2012 during his postdoc research at Guangdong University of Technology in Guangzhou. O. I. Şandru [7] extended the last results in 2013. Now [2015], as a further generalization, we unify all these results into a single formula for the n-D Distance and respectively for the n-D Dependent Function.
Neutrosophic Crisp Sets & Neutrosophic Crisp Topological Spaces, A. A. Salama, Florentin Smarandache, Valeri Kroumov
Neutrosophic Crisp Sets & Neutrosophic Crisp Topological Spaces, A. A. Salama, Florentin Smarandache, Valeri Kroumov
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this paper, we generalize the crisp topological space to the notion of neutrosophic crisp topological space, and we construct the basic concepts of the neutrosophic crisp topology. In addition to these, we introduce the definitions of neutrosophic crisp continuous function and neutrosophic crisp compact spaces. Finally, some characterizations concerning neutrosophic crisp compact spaces are presented and one obtains several properties. Possible application to GIS topology rules are touched upon.
Certain Fractional Integral Operators And The Generalized Incomplete Hypergeometric Functions, H. M. Srivastava, Praveen Agarwal
Certain Fractional Integral Operators And The Generalized Incomplete Hypergeometric Functions, H. M. Srivastava, Praveen Agarwal
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper, we apply a certain general pair of operators of fractional integration involving Appell’s function F3 in their kernel to the generalized incomplete hypergeometric functions pΓq[z] and pɣq [z], which were introduced and studied systematically by Srivastava et al. in the year 2012. Some interesting special cases and consequences of our main results are also considered.
A New Approach To The Numerical Solution Of Fractional Order Optimal Control Problems, T. Akbarian, M. Keyanpour
A New Approach To The Numerical Solution Of Fractional Order Optimal Control Problems, T. Akbarian, M. Keyanpour
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this article, a new numerical method is proposed for solving a class of fractional order optimal control problems. The fractional derivative is considered in the Caputo sense. This approach is based on a combination of the perturbation homotopy and parameterization methods. The control function u(t) is approximated by polynomial functions with unknown coefficients. This method converts the fractional order optimal control problem to an optimization problem. Numerical results are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the method.
Generalized Fractional Integral Of The Product Of Two Aleph-Functions, R. K. Saxena, J. Ram, D. Kumar
Generalized Fractional Integral Of The Product Of Two Aleph-Functions, R. K. Saxena, J. Ram, D. Kumar
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
This paper is devoted to the study and develops the generalized fractional integral operators for a new special function, which is called Aleph-function. The considered generalized fractional integration operators contain the Appell hypergeometric function F3 as a kernel. We establish two results of the product of two Aleph-functions involving Saigo-Maeda operators. On account of the general nature of the Saigo-Maeda operators and the Aleph-function, some results involving Saigo, Riemann-Liouville and Erdélyi-Kober integral operators are obtained as special cases of the main result.

Cholera is a severe intestinal infectious disease that remains a serious public health threat in developing countries. Transmission of cholera involves complex interactions between the human host, the pathogen, and the environment. The worldwide cholera outbreaks and their increasing severity, frequency and duration in recent years underscore the gap between the complex …
A Subdivision-Regularization Framework For Preventing Over Fitting Of Data By A Model, Ghulam Mustafa, Abdul Ghaffar, Muhammad Aslam
A Subdivision-Regularization Framework For Preventing Over Fitting Of Data By A Model, Ghulam Mustafa, Abdul Ghaffar, Muhammad Aslam
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
First, we explore the properties of families of odd-point odd-ary parametric approximating subdivision schemes. Then we fine-tune the parameters involved in the family of schemes to maximize the smoothness of the limit curve and error bounds for the distance between the limit curve and the kth level control polygon. After that, we present the subdivision-regularization framework for preventing over fitting of data by model. Demonstration shows that the proposed unified frame work can work well for both noise removal and overfitting prevention in subdivision as well as regularization.
Analyzing And Solving Non-Linear Stochastic Dynamic Models On Non-Periodic Discrete Time Domains, Gang Cheng
Analyzing And Solving Non-Linear Stochastic Dynamic Models On Non-Periodic Discrete Time Domains, Gang Cheng
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Stochastic dynamic programming is a recursive method for solving sequential or multistage decision problems. It helps economists and mathematicians construct and solve a huge variety of sequential decision making problems in stochastic cases. Research on stochastic dynamic programming is important and meaningful because stochastic dynamic programming reflects the behavior of the decision maker without risk aversion; i.e., decision making under uncertainty. In the solution process, it is extremely difficult to represent the existing or future state precisely since uncertainty is a state of having limited knowledge. Indeed, compared to the deterministic case, which is decision making under certainty, the stochastic …
Analysis Of Time-Dependent Integrodifference Population Models, Taylor J. Mcadam
Analysis Of Time-Dependent Integrodifference Population Models, Taylor J. Mcadam
HMC Senior Theses
The population dynamics of species with separate growth and dispersal stages can be described by a discrete-time, continuous-space integrodifference equation relating the population density at one time step to an integral expression involving the density at the previous time step. Prior research on this model has assumed that the equation governing the population dynamics remains fixed over time, however real environments are constantly in flux. We show that for time-varying models, there is a value Λ that can be computed to determine a sufficient condition for population survival. We also develop a framework for analyzing persistence of a population for …
On The Persistence Properties Of The Cross-Coupled Camassa-Holm System, David Henry, Darryl Holm, Rossen Ivanov
On The Persistence Properties Of The Cross-Coupled Camassa-Holm System, David Henry, Darryl Holm, Rossen Ivanov
Articles
In this paper we examine the evolution of solutions, that initially have compact support, of a recently-derived system of cross-coupled Camassa-Holm equations. The analytical methods which we employ provide a full picture for the persistence of compact support for the momenta. For solutions of the system itself, the answer is more convoluted, and we determine when the compactness of the support is lost, replaced instead by an exponential decay rate.
Particle Trajectories In Extreme Stokes Waves Over Inifinte Depth, Tony Lyons
Particle Trajectories In Extreme Stokes Waves Over Inifinte Depth, Tony Lyons
Articles
We investigate the velocity field of fluid particles in an extreme water wave over infinite depth. It is shown that the trajectories of the particles within the fluid and along the free surface do not form closed paths over the course of one period, but rather undergo a positive drift in the direction of wave propagation. In addition it is shown that the wave crest cannot form a stagnation point despite the velocity of the fluid being zero there.

Subset Non Associative Semirings, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Subset Non Associative Semirings, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
In this book for the first time we introduce the notion of subset non associative semirings. It is pertinent to keep on record that study of non associative semirings is meager and books on this specific topic is still rare. Authors have recently introduced the notion of subset algebraic structures. The maximum algebraic structure enjoyed by subsets with two binary operations is just a semifield and semiring, even if a ring or a field is used. In case semigroups or groups are used still the algebraic structure of the subset is only a semigroup. To construct a subset non associative …
Subset Interval Groupoids, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Subset Interval Groupoids, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
The study of groupoids is meager and we have recently introduced the new notion of subset groupoids and have studied them. It is interesting to keep on record that interval groupoids have been studied by us in 2010. Further when the subsets of a loop are taken they also form only a subset groupoid and not a subset loop. Thus we do not have the concept of subset interval loop they only form a subset interval groupoid. Special elements like subset interval zero divisors, subset interval idempotents and subset interval units are studied. Concept of subset interval groupoid homomorphism is …
Algebraic Structures Using Subsets, Florentin Smarandache, W.B Vasantha Kandasamy
Algebraic Structures Using Subsets, Florentin Smarandache, W.B Vasantha Kandasamy
Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications
The study of subsets and giving algebraic structure to these subsets of a set started in the mid 18th century by George Boole. The first systematic presentation of Boolean algebra emerged in 1860s in papers written by William Jevons and Charles Sanders Peirce. Thus we see if P(X) denotes the collection of all subsets of the set X, then P(X) under the op erations of union and intersection is a Boolean algebra. Next the subsets of a set was used in the construction of topological spaces. We in this book consider subsets of a semigroup or a group or a …
Blow-Up Of Solutions To The Generalized Inviscid Proudman-Johnson Equation, Alejandro Sarria
Blow-Up Of Solutions To The Generalized Inviscid Proudman-Johnson Equation, Alejandro Sarria
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The generalized inviscid Proudman-Johnson equation serves as a model for n-dimensional incompressible Euler flow, gas dynamics, high-frequency waves in shallow waters, and orientation of waves in a massive director field of a nematic liquid crystal. Furthermore, the equation also serves as a tool for studying the role that the natural fluid processes of convection and stretching play in the formation of spontaneous singularities, or of their absence.
In this work, we study blow-up, and blow-up properties, in solutions to the generalized, inviscid Proudman-Johnson equation endowed with periodic or Dirichlet boundary conditions. More particularly,regularity of solutions in an Lp setting will …

This thesis consists of six chapters. In the first chapter, we review some basic definitions and concepts of fractional calculus. Then we introduce fractional difference equations involving the Riemann-Liouville operator of real number order between zero and one. In the second chapter, we apply the Brouwer fixed point and Contraction Mapping Theorems to prove that there exists a solution for up to the first order nabla fractional difference equation with an initial condition. In chapter three, we define a lower and an upper solution for up to the first order nabla fractional difference equation with an initial condition. Under certain …

Further Results On Fractional Calculus Of Saigo Operators, Praveen Agarwal
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
A significantly large number of earlier works on the subject of fractional calculus give interesting account of the theory and applications of fractional calculus operators in many different areas of mathematical analysis (such as ordinary and partial differential equations, integral equations, special functions, summation of series, et cetera). The main object of the present paper is to study and develop the Saigo operators. First, we establish two results that give the image of the product of multivariable H-function and a general class of polynomials in Saigo operators. On account of the general nature of the Saigo operators, multivariable H-function and …
Two Reliable Methods For Solving The Modified Improved Kadomtsev-Petviashvili Equation, N. Taghizadeh, S. R. Moosavi Noori
Two Reliable Methods For Solving The Modified Improved Kadomtsev-Petviashvili Equation, N. Taghizadeh, S. R. Moosavi Noori
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper, the tanh-coth method and the extended (G'/G)-expansion method are used to construct exact solutions of the nonlinear Modified Improved Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (MIKP) equation. These methods transform nonlinear partial differential equation to ordinary differential equation and can be applied to nonintegrable equation as well as integrable ones. It has been shown that the two methods are direct, effective and can be used for many other nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.
Modeling And Mathematical Analysis Of Plant Models In Ecology, Eric A. Eager
Modeling And Mathematical Analysis Of Plant Models In Ecology, Eric A. Eager
Department of Mathematics: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Population dynamics tries to explain in a simple mechanistic way the variations of the size and structure of biological populations. In this dissertation we use mathematical modeling and analysis to study the various aspects of the dynamics of plant populations and their seed banks.
In Chapter 2 we investigate the impact of structural model uncertainty by considering different nonlinear recruitment functions in an integral projection model for Cirsium canescens. We show that, while having identical equilibrium populations, these two models can elicit drastically different transient dynamics. We then derive a formula for the sensitivity of the equilibrium population to …
Applying Differential Transform Method To Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations: A Modified Approach, Marwan T. Alquran
Applying Differential Transform Method To Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations: A Modified Approach, Marwan T. Alquran
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
This paper proposes another use of the Differential transform method (DTM) in obtaining approximate solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). The idea here is that a PDE can be converted to an ordinary differential equation (ODE) upon using a wave variable, then applying the DTM to the resulting ODE. Three equations, namely, Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (BBM), Cahn-Hilliard equation and Gardner equation are considered in this study. The proposed method reduces the size of the numerical computations and use less rules than the usual DTM method used for multi-dimensional PDEs. The results show that this new approach gives very accurate solutions.
Geometric Programming Subject To System Of Fuzzy Relation Inequalities, Elyas Shivanian, Mahdi Keshtkar, Esmaile Khorram
Geometric Programming Subject To System Of Fuzzy Relation Inequalities, Elyas Shivanian, Mahdi Keshtkar, Esmaile Khorram
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
In this paper, an optimization model with geometric objective function is presented. Geometric programming is widely used; many objective functions in optimization problems can be analyzed by geometric programming. We often encounter these in resource allocation and structure optimization and technology management, etc. On the other hand, fuzzy relation equalities and inequalities are also used in many areas. We here present a geometric programming model with a monomial objective function subject to the fuzzy relation inequality constraints with maxproduct composition. Simplification operations have been given to accelerate the resolution of the problem by removing the components having no effect on …
Fractional Integrals And Derivatives For Sumudu Transform On Distribution Spaces, Deshna Loonker, P. K. Banerji
Fractional Integrals And Derivatives For Sumudu Transform On Distribution Spaces, Deshna Loonker, P. K. Banerji
Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
We propose, in the present paper, the investigation of the Sumudu transformation for certain distribution spaces with regard to the fractional integral and differential operators of the transform. This paper is organized in two sections, first of which gives an abriged text on fractional operators and the Sumudu transform (which is less discussed and reserached). Basic concept in analysing the investigation is initiated by the fact that the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral can be expressed as one of the appropriate forms of the Abel integral equation, which is the second section of this paper.

Two numerical algorithms based on variational iteration and decomposition methods are developed to solve a linear partial integro-differential equation with a weakly singular kernel arising from viscoelasticity. In addition, analytic solution is re-derived by using the variational iteration method and decomposition method.
