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 2013 Bharathidasan University College

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 2013 Bahir Dar University

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 2013 Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

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 2013 University of Tulsa

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 2013 Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

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 2013 Technology Development Institute (ACECR)

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. The theoretical aspects and computational results of the method are provided. 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 …


Numerical Solution Of Some Nonlinear Volterra Integral Equations Of The First Kind, Leila Saeedi, Abolfazl Tari, Sayyed H. Momeni Masuleh 2013 Shahed Univesity

Numerical Solution Of Some Nonlinear Volterra Integral Equations Of The First Kind, Leila Saeedi, Abolfazl Tari, Sayyed H. Momeni Masuleh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, the solving of a class of the nonlinear Volterra integral equations (NVIE) of the first kind is investigated. Here, we convert NVIE of the first kind to a linear equation of the second kind. Then we apply the operational Tau method to the problem and prove convergence of the presented method. Finally, some numerical examples are given to show the accuracy of the method.

Dispersive Waves In Microstructured Solids, A. Berezovski, J. Engelbrecht, A. Salupere, K. Tamm, T. Peets, Mihhail Berezovski 2013 Tallinn University of Technology

Dispersive Waves In Microstructured Solids, A. Berezovski, J. Engelbrecht, A. Salupere, K. Tamm, T. Peets, Mihhail Berezovski

Publications

The wave motion in micromorphic microstructured solids is studied. The mathematical model is based on ideas of Mindlin and governing equations are derived by making use of the Euler–Lagrange formalism. The same result is obtained by means of the internal variables approach. Actually such a model describes internal fields in microstructured solids under external loading and the interaction of these fields results in various physical effects. The emphasis of the paper is on dispersion analysis and wave profiles generated by initial or boundary conditions in a one-dimensional case.

The Neural Ring: An Algebraic Tool For Analyzing The Intrinsic Structure Of Neural Codes, Carina Curto, Vladimir Itskov, Alan Veliz-Cuba, Nora Youngs 2013 University of Nebraska - Lincoln

The Neural Ring: An Algebraic Tool For Analyzing The Intrinsic Structure Of Neural Codes, Carina Curto, Vladimir Itskov, Alan Veliz-Cuba, Nora Youngs

Department of Mathematics: Faculty Publications

Neurons in the brain represent external stimuli via neural codes. These codes often arise from stereotyped stimulus-response maps, associating to each neuron a convex receptive field. An important problem confronted by the brain is to infer properties of a represented stimulus space without knowledge of the receptive fields, using only the intrinsic structure of the neural code. How does the brain do this? To address this question, it is important to determine what stimulus space features can - in principle - be extracted from neural codes. This motivates us to define the neural ring and a related neural ideal, …


Eradicating Malaria: Improving A Multiple-Timestep Optimization Model Of Malarial Intervention Policy, Taryn M. Ohashi 2013 Scripps College

Eradicating Malaria: Improving A Multiple-Timestep Optimization Model Of Malarial Intervention Policy, Taryn M. Ohashi

Scripps Senior Theses

Malaria is a preventable and treatable blood-borne disease whose complications can be fatal. Although many interventions exist in order to reduce the impacts of malaria, the optimal method of distributing these interventions in a geographical area with limited resources must be determined. This thesis refines a model that uses an integer linear program and a compartmental model of epidemiology called an SIR model of ordinary differential equations. The objective of the model is to find an intervention strategy over multiple time steps and multiple geographic regions that minimizes the number of days people spend infected with malaria. In this paper, …


Stress Analysis Of Ramberg-Osgood And Hollomon 1-D Axial Rods, Ronald J. Giardina Jr 2013 University of New Orleans

Stress Analysis Of Ramberg-Osgood And Hollomon 1-D Axial Rods, Ronald J. Giardina Jr

LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations

In this paper we present novel analytic and finite element solutions to 1-D straight rods made of Ramberg-Osgood and Hollomon type materials. These material models are studied because they are a more accurate representation of the material properties of certain metals used often in manufacturing than the simpler composite linear types of stress/strain models. Here, various types of loads are considered and solutions are compared against some linear models. It is shown that the nonlinear models do have manageable solutions, which produce important differences in the results - attributes which suggest that these models should take a more prominent place …


Peak-End Rule: A Utility-Based Explanation, Olga Kosheleva, Martine Ceberio, Vladik Kreinovich 2013 The University of Texas at El Paso

Peak-End Rule: A Utility-Based Explanation, Olga Kosheleva, Martine Ceberio, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

In many practical situations, people judge their overall experience by only taking into account the peak and the last levels of pleasantness or unpleasantness. While this peak-end rule is empirically supported by numerous psychological experiments, it seems to contradict our general theoretical ideas about people's preferences. In this paper, we show that, contrary to this impression, the end-peak rule can be justified based on the main ideas of the traditional utility-based decision theory.
