A Generalized Newton-Penalty Algorithm For Large Scale Ill-Conditioned Quadratic Problems, Maziar Salahi, Moslem Ganji Dec 2009

A Generalized Newton-Penalty Algorithm For Large Scale Ill-Conditioned Quadratic Problems, Maziar Salahi, Moslem Ganji

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Large scale quadratic problems arise in many real world applications. It is quite often that the coefficient matrices in these problems are ill-conditioned. Thus, if the problem data are available even with small error, then solving them using classical algorithms might result to meaningless solutions. In this short paper, we propose an efficient generalized Newton-penalty algorithm for solving these problems. Our computational results show that our new simple algorithm is much faster and better than the approach of Rojas et al. (2000), which requires parameter tuning for different problems.

Explicit And Exact Solutions With Multiple Arbitrary Analytic Functions Of Jimbo–Miwa Equation, Sheng Zhang, Ying-Na Sun, Jin-Mei Ba, Ling Dong

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, a generalized F-expansion method is used to construct exact solutions of the (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation. As a result, many new and more general exact solutions are obtained including single and combined non-degenerate Jacobi elliptic function solutions, hyperbolic function solutions and trigonometric function solutions, each of which contains six arbitrary analytic functions. It is shown that with the aid of symbolic computation the generalized F-expansion method may provide a straightforward and effective mathematical tool for solving nonlinear partial differential equations.

In this paper, we construct the traveling wave solutions involving parameters of the combined Kdv-MKdv equation, the Shorma-Tasso-Olver equation and (2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko-Dubrovsky equation, by using a new approach method. When the parameters are taken special values, the solitary waves are derived from the traveling waves. The travelling wave solutions are expressed by the hyperbolic functions, the trigonometric functions and the rational functions.

Uniform Stabilization Of N-Dimensional Vibrating Equation Modeling ‘Standard Linear Model’ Of Viscoelasticity, Ganesh C. Gorain Dec 2009

Uniform Stabilization Of N-Dimensional Vibrating Equation Modeling ‘Standard Linear Model’ Of Viscoelasticity, Ganesh C. Gorain

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we deal with the elastic vibrations of flexible structures modeled by the ‘standard linear model’ of viscoelasticity in n-dimensional space. We study the uniform exponential stabilization of such kind of vibrations after incorporating separately very small amount of passive viscous damping and internal material damping of Kelvin-Viogt type in the model. Explicit forms of exponential energy decay rates are obtained by a direct method, for the solution of such boundary value problems without having to introduce any boundary feedback.

Spatial Instability Of Electrically Driven Jets With Finite Conductivity And Under Constant Or Variable Applied Field, Saulo Orizaga, Daniel N. Riahi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

We investigate the problem of spatial instability of electrically driven viscous jets with finite electrical conductivity and in the presence of either a constant or a variable applied electric field. A mathematical model, which is developed and used for the spatially growing disturbances in electrically driven jet flows, leads to a lengthy equation for the unknown growth rate and frequency of the disturbances. This equation is solved numerically using Newton’s method. For neutral temporal stability boundary, we find, in particular, two new spatial modes of instability under certain conditions. One of these modes is enhanced by the strength Ω of …

Analysis Of Rotating Flow Around A Growing Protein Crystal, Daniel N. Riahi, Charles W. Obare Jun 2009

Analysis Of Rotating Flow Around A Growing Protein Crystal, Daniel N. Riahi, Charles W. Obare

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

We consider the problem of steady flow around a growing protein crystal in a medium of its solution in a normal gravity environment. The whole flow system is assumed to be rotating with a constant angular velocity about a vertical axis which is anti-parallel to the gravity vector. Convective flow takes place due to the solute depletion around the growing crystal which leads to a buoyancy driven flow. Such convective flow can produce inhomogeneous solute concentration, which subsequently generate non-uniformities in the crystal’s structure finalizing lower quality protein crystal. Using scaling analysis within a diffusion boundary layer around the crystal, …


Circular Nonlinear Subdivision Schemes For Curve Design, Jian-Ao Lian, Yonghui Wang, Yonggao Yang Jun 2009

Circular Nonlinear Subdivision Schemes For Curve Design, Jian-Ao Lian, Yonghui Wang, Yonggao Yang

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Two new families of nonlinear 3-point subdivision schemes for curve design are introduced. The first family is ternary interpolatory and the second family is binary approximation. All these new schemes are circular-invariant, meaning that new vertices are generated from local circles formed by three consecutive old vertices. As consequences of the nonlinear schemes, two new families of linear subdivision schemes for curve design are established. The 3-point linear binary schemes, which are corner-cutting depending on the choices of the tension parameter, are natural extensions of the Lane-Riesenfeld schemes. The four families of both nonlinear and linear subdivision schemes are implemented …

In this paper, we get exact solution of the time-fractional advection-dispersion equation with reaction term, where the Caputo fractional derivative is considered of order α ϵ (0,2]. The solution is achieved by using a function transform, Fourier and Laplace transforms to get the formulas of the fundamental solution, which are expressed explicitly in terms of Fox’s H-function by making use of the relationship between Fourier and Mellin transforms. As special cases the exact solutions of time-fractional diffusion and wave equations are also obtained, and the solutions of the integer order equations are mentioned.

It is found that for any given catheter size, the impedance increases with hematocrit and also for a given hematocrit, the same increases with the catheter size. In the stenotic region, the wall shear stress increases in the upstream of the stenosis throat and decreases in the downstream in an uncatheterized artery but the same possesses an opposite character in the case of a catheterized …

A New Approach To Improve Inconsistency In The Analytical Hierarchy Process, Morteza Rahmami, Hamidreza Navidi Jun 2009

A New Approach To Improve Inconsistency In The Analytical Hierarchy Process, Morteza Rahmami, Hamidreza Navidi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, a new approach based on the generalized Purcell method for solving a system of homogenous linear equations is applied to improve near consistent judgment matrices. The proposed method relies on altering the components of the pairwise comparison matrix in such a way that the resulting sequences of improved matrices approach a consistent matrix. The complexity of the proposed method, together with examples, shows less cost and better results in computation than the methods in practice.

It is shown that the disease-free equilibrium is locally and globally asymptotically stable if R0 < 1. It is then proved that only one endemic equilibrium exists if R0 > 1 and its stability conditions are also given.
