A New Hermite Collocation Method For Solving Differential Difference Equations, Mustafa Gülsu, Hatice Yalman, Mehmet Sezer 2011 Mugla University

A New Hermite Collocation Method For Solving Differential Difference Equations, Mustafa Gülsu, Hatice Yalman, Mehmet Sezer

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The purpose of this study is to give a Hermite polynomial approximation for the solution of mth order linear differential-difference equations with variable coefficients under mixed conditions. For this purpose, a new Hermite collocation method is introduced. This method is based on the truncated Hermite expansion of the function in the differential-difference equations. Hence, the resulting matrix equation can be solved and the unknown Hermite coefficients can be found approximately. In addition, examples that illustrate the pertinent features of the method are presented and the results of the study discussed

On Temporal Instability Of Electrically Forced Axisymmetric Jets With Variable Applied Field And Nonzero Basic State Velocity, Dambaru Bhatta, Sayantan Das, Daniel N. Riahi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The problem of instability of electrically forced axisymmetric jets with respect to temporally growing disturbances is investigated computationally. We derive a dispersion relation based on the relevant approximated versions of the equations of the electro-hydrodynamics for an electrically forced jet flow. For temporal instability, we find in the realistic cases of the non-zero basic state velocity that the growth rate of the unstable mode is unaffected by the value of the basic state velocity. However, the non-zero value of the basic state velocity affects significantly the period of the unstable mode in the sense that it decreases the period, and …

Mathematical Modeling, A Small Step In A Right Direction, Reza D. Noubary 2011 Bloomsburg University

Mathematical Modeling, A Small Step In A Right Direction, Reza D. Noubary

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Models developed by mathematicians/statisticians based on criterion such as goodness of fit often leads to a “best” model only for the data utilized. Moreover the parameters in such models often do not have physical interpretations and as such their validity cannot be checked by other means. This article makes argument against modeling processes that do not incorporate information from discipline related to the origin of data and presents an example to demonstrate benefits of doing so.

Constraint Qualifications And Optimality Conditions For Nonconvex Semi-Infinite And Infinite Programs, Boris S. Mordukhovich, T T. A. Nghia 2011 Wayne State University

Constraint Qualifications And Optimality Conditions For Nonconvex Semi-Infinite And Infinite Programs, Boris S. Mordukhovich, T T. A. Nghia

Mathematics Research Reports

The paper concerns the study of new classes of nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problems of the so-called infinite programming that are generally defined on infinite-dimensional spaces of decision variables and contain infinitely many of equality and inequality constraints with arbitrary (may not be compact) index sets. These problems reduce to semi-infinite programs in the case of finite-dimensional spaces of decision variables. We extend the classical Mangasarian-Fromovitz and Farkas-Minkowski constraint qualifications to such infinite and semi-infinite programs. The new qualification conditions are used for efficient computing the appropriate normal cones to sets of feasible solutions for these programs by employing advanced …
