Complete Characterizations Of Local Weak Sharp Minima With Applications To Semi-Infinite Optimization And Complementarity, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Naihua Xiu, Jinchuan Zhou 2011 Wayne State University

Complete Characterizations Of Local Weak Sharp Minima With Applications To Semi-Infinite Optimization And Complementarity, Boris S. Mordukhovich, Naihua Xiu, Jinchuan Zhou

Mathematics Research Reports

In this paper we identify a favorable class of nonsmooth functions for which local weak sharp minima can be completely characterized in terms of normal cones and subdifferentials, or tangent cones and subderivatives, or their mixture in finite-dimensional spaces. The results obtained not only significantly extend previous ones in the literature, but also allow us to provide new types of criteria for local weak sharpness. Applications of the developed theory are given to semi-infinite programming and to semi-infinite complementarity problems.


Waves In Microstructured Solids: A Unified Viewpoint Of Modelling, Arkadi Berezovski, Juri Engelbrecht, Mihhail Berezovski 2011 Tallinn University of Technology

Waves In Microstructured Solids: A Unified Viewpoint Of Modelling, Arkadi Berezovski, Juri Engelbrecht, Mihhail Berezovski

Publications

The basic ideas for describing the dispersive wave motion in microstructured solids are discussed in the one-dimensional setting because then the differences between various microstructure models are clearly visible. An overview of models demonstrates a variety of approaches, but the consistent structure of the theory is best considered from the unified viewpoint of internal variables. It is shown that the unification of microstructure models can be achieved using the concept of dual internal variables.

Stability Of A Strongly Anisotropic Thin Epitaxial Film In A Wetting Interaction With Elastic Substrate, Mikhail Khenner, Wondimu T. Tekalign, Margo S. Levine

Mathematics Faculty Publications

The linear dispersion relation for longwave surface perturbations, as derived by Levine et al. Phys. Rev. B 75, 205312 (2007) is extended to include a smooth surface energy anisotropy function with a variable anisotropy strength (from weak to strong, such that sharp corners and slightly curved facets occur on the corresponding Wulff shape). Through detailed parametric studies it is shown that a combination of a wetting interaction and strong anisotropy, and even a wetting interaction alone results in complicated linear stability characteristics of strained and unstrained films.

Dispersive Wave Equations For Solids With Microstructure, A. Berezovski, Juri Engelbrecht, Mihhail Berezovski

Publications

The dispersive wave motion in solids with microstructure is considered in the one-dimensional setting in order to understand better the mechanism of dispersion. It is shown that the variety of dispersive wave propagation models derived by homogenization, continualisation, and generalization of continuum mechanics can be unified in the framework of dual internal variables theory.

Outlier Detection In Circular Data And Circular-Circular Regression Model., Adzhar Rambli 2011 Universiti Malaya

Outlier Detection In Circular Data And Circular-Circular Regression Model., Adzhar Rambli

Student Works (2010-2019)

This study focuses on studying several numerical methods used to detect outliers in circular data and circular-circular regression models. Firstly, we will look at different distributions for circular variable and different regression models involving bivariate circular data. The parameters that describe each circular distribution will be explained in detail and illustrated using real data sets. As for the circular regression, we will consider the DM circular regression model proposed by Down and Mardia (2002). We employ the maximum likelihood estimation method to estimate the parameters of the model. Secondly, we consider the occurrence of outliers in circular data generated from …


Application Of Homotopy Perturbation Method To Biological Population Model, Pradip Roul 2010 Duisburg-Essen University

Application Of Homotopy Perturbation Method To Biological Population Model, Pradip Roul

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this article, a well-known analytical approximation method, so-called the Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is adopted for solving the nonlinear partial differential equations arising in the spatial diffusion of biological populations. The resulting solutions are compared with those of the existing solutions obtained by employing the Adomian’s decomposition method. The comparison reveals that our approximate solutions are in very good agreement with the solutions by Adomian’s method. Moreover, the results show that the proposed method is a more reliable, efficient and convenient one for solving the non-linear differential equations.


Solving Fuzzy Linear Programming Problems With Piecewise Linear Membership Function, S. Effati, H. Abbasiyan 2010 Ferdowsi University of Mashhad

Solving Fuzzy Linear Programming Problems With Piecewise Linear Membership Function, S. Effati, H. Abbasiyan

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we concentrate on linear programming problems in which both the right-hand side and the technological coefficients are fuzzy numbers. We consider here only the case of fuzzy numbers with linear membership functions. The symmetric method of Bellman and Zadeh (1970) is used for a defuzzification of these problems. The crisp problems obtained after the defuzzification are non-linear and even non-convex in general. We propose here the "modified subgradient method" and "method of feasible directions" and uses for solving these problems see Bazaraa (1993). We also compare the new proposed methods with well known "fuzzy decisive set method". …


Approximate Analytical Solutions For Fractional Space- And Time- Partial Differential Equations Using Homotopy Analysis Method, Subir, Das, R. Kumar, P. K. Gupta, Hossein Jafari 2010 Banaras Hindu University

Approximate Analytical Solutions For Fractional Space- And Time- Partial Differential Equations Using Homotopy Analysis Method, Subir, Das, R. Kumar, P. K. Gupta, Hossein Jafari

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This article presents the approximate analytical solutions of first order linear partial differential equations (PDEs) with fractional time- and space- derivatives. With the aid of initial values, the explicit solutions of the equations are solved making use of reliable algorithm like homotopy analysis method (HAM). The speed of convergence of the method is based on a rapidly convergent series with easily computable components. The fractional derivatives are described in Caputo sense. Numerical results show that the HAM is easy to implement and accurate when applied to space- time- fractional PDEs.


Application Of Differential Transform Method To The Generalized Burgers–Huxley Equation, J. Biazar, F. Mohammadi 2010 University of Guilan

Application Of Differential Transform Method To The Generalized Burgers–Huxley Equation, J. Biazar, F. Mohammadi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, the differential transform method (DTM) will be applied to the generalized Burgers-Huxley equation, and some special cases of the equation, say, Huxley equation and Fitzhugh-Nagoma equation. The DTM produces an approximate solution for the equation, with few and easy computations. Numerical comparison between differential transform method, Adomian decomposition method and Variational iteration method for Burgers-Huxley, Huxley equation and Fitzhugh-Nagoma equation reveal that differential transform method is simple, accurate and efficient.


A New Method For Fuzzy Critical Path Analysis In Project Networks With A New Representation Of Triangular Fuzzy Numbers, Amit Kumar, Parmpreet Kaur 2010 Thapar University

A New Method For Fuzzy Critical Path Analysis In Project Networks With A New Representation Of Triangular Fuzzy Numbers, Amit Kumar, Parmpreet Kaur

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The method for finding fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy critical path (FFCP) problems i.e., critical path problems in which all the parameters are represented by fuzzy numbers, is at best scant; possibly non-existent. In this paper, a method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of FFCP problems, together with a new representation of triangular fuzzy numbers. This paper will show the advantages of using, the proposed representation over the existing representations of triangular fuzzy numbers and will present with great clarity the proposed method and illustrate its application to FFCP problems occurring in real life situations.

An Analytical Technique For Solving Nonlinear Heat Transfer Equations, Hossein Aminikhah, Milad Hemmatnezhad

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, an analytic technique, namely the New Homotopy Perturbation Method (NHPM) is applied for solving the nonlinear differential equations arising in the field of heat transfer. In this method, the solution is considered as an infinite series expansion where converges rapidly to the exact solution. The nonlinear convective–radioactive cooling equation and nonlinear equation of conduction heat transfer with the variable physical properties are chosen as illustrative examples and the exact solutions have been found for each case.

Numerical Comparison Of Methods For Hirota-Satsuma Model, Syed T. Mohyud-Din, Ahmet Yildirim, Syed M. Mahdi Hosseini

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This paper outlines the implementation of the modified decomposition method (MDM) to solve a very important physical model namely Hirota-Satsuma model which occurs quite often in applied sciences. Numerical results and comparisons with homotopy perturbation (HPM) and Adomian’s decomposition (ADM) methods explicitly reveal the complete reliability of the proposed MDM. It is observed that the suggested algorithm (MDM) is more user-friendly and is easier to implement compared to HPM and ADM.

Duality In Fuzzy Linear Programming With Symmetric Trapezoidal Numbers, S. H. Nasseri, E. Ebrahimnejad, S. Mizuno

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Linear programming problems with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers have recently attracted much interest. Various methods have been developed for solving these types of problems. Here, following the work of Ganesan and Veeramani and using the recent approach of Mahdavi-Amiri and Nasseri, we introduce the dual of the linear programming problem with symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and establish some duality results. The results will be useful for post optimality analysis.


Reliability Measures Of A Three-State Complex System: A Copula Approach, Mangey Ram 2010 Graphic Era University

Reliability Measures Of A Three-State Complex System: A Copula Approach, Mangey Ram

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Improvement in reliability and production play a very important role in system design. The two key factors, considered in predicting system reliability, are failure distribution of the component and system configuration. This research discusses the mathematical modeling of a highly reliable complex system, which is in three states i.e. normal, partial failed (degraded state) and complete failed state. The system, partial failed is due to the partial failure of internal components or redundancies and completely failed is due to catastrophic failure of the system. Repair rates are general functions of the time spent. All the transition rates are constant except …

Finite Element Analysis In Porous Media For Incompressible Flow Of Contamination From Nuclear Waste, Abbas Al-Bayati, Saad A. Manaa, Ekhlass S. Ahmed

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

A non-linear parabolic system is used to describe incompressible nuclear waste disposal contamination in porous media, in which both molecular diffusion and dispersion are considered. The Galerkin method is applied for the pressure equation. For the brine, radionuclide and heat, a kind of partial upwind finite element scheme is constructed. Examples are included to demonstrate certain aspects of the theory and illustrate the capabilities of the kind of partial upwind finite element approach.

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This work is focused on the optimal correction of infeasible system of linear equality. In this paper, for correcting this system, we will make the changes just in the coefficient matrix by using l 􀬶 norm and show that solving this problem is equivalent to solving a fractional quadratic problem. To solve this problem, we use the genetic algorithm. Some examples are provided to illustrate the efficiency and validity of the proposed method.
