Numerical Solution Of Fractional Elliptic Pde's By The Collocation Method, Fuat Usta Jun 2017

Numerical Solution Of Fractional Elliptic Pde's By The Collocation Method, Fuat Usta

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this presentation a numerical solution for the solution of fractional order of elliptic partial differential equation in R2 is proposed. In this method we use the Radial basis functions (RBFs) method to benefit the desired properties of mesh free techniques such as no need to generate any mesh and easily applied to multi dimensions. In the numerical solution approach the RBF collocation method is used to discrete fractional derivative terms with the Gaussian basis function. Two dimensional numerical examples are presented and discussed, which conform well with the corresponding exact solutions.


A Simple Linear Time Algorithm For Computing A 1-Median On Cactus Graphs, Kien T. Nguyen, Pham V. Chien, Ly H. Hai, Huynh D. Quoc Jun 2017

A Simple Linear Time Algorithm For Computing A 1-Median On Cactus Graphs, Kien T. Nguyen, Pham V. Chien, Ly H. Hai, Huynh D. Quoc

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

We address the problem of finding a 1-median on a cactus graph. The problem has already been solved in linear time by the algorithms of Burkard and Krarup (1998), and Lan and Wang (2000). These algorithms are complicated and need efforts. Hence, we develop in this paper a simpler algorithm. First, we construct a condition for a cycle that contains a 1-median or for a vertex that is indeed a 1-median of the cactus. Based on this condition, we localize the search for deriving a 1-median on the underlying cactus. Complexity analysis shows that the approach runs in linear time.

A Numerical Scheme For Generalized Fractional Optimal Control Problems, N. Singha, C. Nahak

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)
