A Subdivision-Regularization Framework For Preventing Over Fitting Of Data By A Model, Ghulam Mustafa, Abdul Ghaffar, Muhammad Aslam Jun 2013

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.

An Ε -Uniform Numerical Method For A System Of Convection-Diffusion Equations With Discontinuous Convection Coefficients And Source Terms, T. Valanarasu, R. M. Priyadharshini, N. Ramanujam, A. Tamilselvan

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, a parameter-uniform numerical method is suggested to solve a system of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equations with discontinuous convection coefficients and source terms subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition. The second derivative of each equation is multiplied by a distinctly small parameter, which leads to an overlap and interacting interior layer. A numerical method based on a piecewise uniform Shishkin mesh is constructed. Numerical results are presented to support the theoretical results.


Solving Singularly Perturbed Differential Difference Equations Via Fitted Method, Awoke Andargie, Y. N. Reddy Jun 2013

Solving Singularly Perturbed Differential Difference Equations Via Fitted Method, Awoke Andargie, Y. N. Reddy

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we presented a fitted approach to solve singularly perturbed differential difference equations of second order with boundary at one end (left or right) of the interval. In this approach, with the help of Taylor series expansion, we approximated the terms containing negative and positive shifts and modified the singularly perturbed differential difference equation to singularly perturbed differential equation. A fitting parameter in the coefficient of the highest order derivative of the new equation is introduced and determined its value from the theory of singular perturbation. Finally, we obtained a three term recurrence relation which is solved using …

Physically-Realizable Uniform Temperature Boundary Condition Specification On A Wall Of An Enclosure: Part I – Problem Investigation, P. Y. C. Lee, W. H. Leong

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Designing an experimental apparatus requires considerable amount of planning. Despite proper planning, one can easily overlook a design such as the standard uniform temperature boundary condition applied to all or portion of a wall of an experimental apparatus. Although this boundary condition is mathematically simple and precise, achieving it physically may not be that simple. This paper addresses one such three-dimensional natural convection heat transfer apparatus that was designed to measure benchmark Nusselt numbers at various Rayleigh numbers with uniform temperatures specified at two walls of the enclosure. It was found that the effect of thermal spreading/constriction resistance on one …


Projected Surface Finite Elements For Elliptic Equations, Necibe Tuncer Jun 2013

Projected Surface Finite Elements For Elliptic Equations, Necibe Tuncer

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this article, we define a new finite element method for numerically approximating solutions of elliptic partial differential equations defined on “arbitrary” smooth surfaces S in RN+1. By “arbitrary” smooth surfaces, we mean surfaces that can be implicitly represented as level sets of smooth functions. The key idea is to first approximate the surface S by a polyhedral surface Sh, which is a union of planar triangles whose vertices lie on S; then to project Sh onto S. With this method, we can also approximate the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of th Laplace-Beltrami operator on these “arbitrary” surfaces.


Physically-Realizable Uniform Temperature Boundary Condition Specification On A Wall Of An Enclosure: Part Ii – Problem Solution, P. Y. C. Lee, W. H. Leong Jun 2013

Physically-Realizable Uniform Temperature Boundary Condition Specification On A Wall Of An Enclosure: Part Ii – Problem Solution, P. Y. C. Lee, W. H. Leong

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Temperature measurements along one side of the rectangular plate showed severe temperature non-uniformity along one side of a wall of a cubical experimental apparatus where the uniform temperature was physically desired. Despite proper planning and analyses, this non-uniformity was high enough that a benchmark study could not be carried out to the desired accuracy of about one percent error. This paper presents and extends analyses made previously based on the modifications to the original design of the apparatus to reduce the temperature non-uniformity on the wall by adding an auxiliary heater around a wall where the uniform temperature was desired. …

A New Implementation Of Gmres Using Generalized Purcell Method, Morteza Rahmani, Sayed H. Momeni-Masuleh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, a new method based on the generalized Purcell method is proposed to solve the usual least-squares problem arising in the GMRES method.

For the popular iterative method GMRES, the decomposition matrices of the Hessenberg matrix is obtained by using a simple recursive relation instead of Givens rotations. The other advantages of the proposed method are low computational cost and no need for orthogonal decomposition of the Hessenberg matrix or pivoting. The comparisons for ill-conditioned sparse standard matrices are made. They show a good agreement with available …

A Constructive Proof Of Fundamental Theory For Fuzzy Variable Linear Programming Problems, A. Ebrahimnejad Dec 2012

A Constructive Proof Of Fundamental Theory For Fuzzy Variable Linear Programming Problems, A. Ebrahimnejad

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Two existing methods for solving fuzzy variable linear programming problems based on ranking functions are the fuzzy primal simplex method proposed by Mahdavi-Amiri et al. (2009) and the fuzzy dual simplex method proposed by Mahdavi-Amiri and Nasseri (2007). In this paper, we prove that in the absence of degeneracy these fuzzy methods stop in a finite number of iterations. Moreover, we generalize the fundamental theorem of linear programming in a crisp environment to a fuzzy one. Finally, we illustrate our proof using a numerical example.

Applying Differential Transform Method To Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations: A Modified Approach, Marwan T. Alquran Jun 2012

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.

The dynamics of the overall system leads to hybrid system of equations. It is set to a certain initial vibrations with a control torque as a stabilizer at the hub end only. Taking a non-linear damping as boundary stabilizer, a uniform exponential energy decay rate is obtained directly. Thus an explicit form of uniform stabilization of the system is achieved by means of the exponential energy …
