Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In the presence of both magnetic field and bulk viscosity, Bianchi Type I bulk viscous fluid string dust cosmological model in Rosen’s bimetric theory of gravitation have been investigated by using the technique of Letelier and Stachel. The nature of the model is discussed in the absence of both magnetic field and bulk viscosity. To get a determinate solution, we have assumed the condition that σ is proportional to θ and ζθ = constant where σ is the shear, θ is the expansion in the model and ζ is the coefficient of bulk viscosity. Further the physical and geometrical significance …

The present paper deals with the wavelet transform of fractional integral operator (the Riemann- Liouville operators) on Boehmian spaces. By virtue of the existing relation between the wavelet transform and the Fourier transform, we obtained integrable Boehmians defined on the Boehmian space for the wavelet transform of fractional integrals.

Comparison Differential Transformation Technique With Adomian Decomposition Method For Dispersive Long-Wave Equations In (2+1)-Dimensions, M. A. Mohamed

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we will introduce two methods to obtain the numerical solutions for the system of dispersive long-wave equations (DLWE) in (2+1)-dimensions. The first method is the differential transformation method (DTM) and the second method is Adomian decomposition method (ADM). Moreover, we will make comparison between the solutions obtained by the two methods. Consequently, the results of our system tell us the two methods can be alternative ways for solution of the linear and nonlinear higher-order initial value problems.

Developing An Improved Shift-And-Invert Arnoldi Method, H. Saberi Najafi, M. Shams Solary

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

An algorithm has been developed for finding a number of eigenvalues close to a given shift and in interval [ Lb,Ub ] of a large unsymmetric matrix pair. The algorithm is based on the shift-andinvert Arnoldi with a block matrix method. The block matrix method is simple and it uses for obtaining the inverse matrix. This algorithm also accelerates the shift-and-invert Arnoldi Algorithm by selecting a suitable shift. We call this algorithm Block Shift-and-Invert or BSI. Numerical examples are presented and a comparison has been shown with the results obtained by Sptarn Algorithm in Matlab. The results show that the …

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

A theoretical investigation is carried out for contribution of the higher-order nonlinearity to nonlinear dust-acoustic solitary waves (DASWs) in an unmagnetized two types of dust fluids (one cold and the other is hot) in the presence of Bolltzmannian ions and electrons. A KdV equation that contains the lowest-order nonlinearity and dispersion is derived from the lowest order of perturbation and a linear inhomogeneous (KdV-type) equation that accounts for the higher-order nonlinearity and dispersion is obtained. A stationary solution for equations resulting from higher-order perturbation theory has been found using the renormalization method. The effects of hot and cold dust charge …

Variational Iteration Method For Solving Two-Parameter Singularly Perturbed Two Point Boundary Value Problem, Marwan Taiseer Alquran, Nurettin Doğan

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, He’s Variational iteration method (VIM) is used for the solution of singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems with two small parameters multiplying the derivatives. Some problems are solved to demonstrate the applicability of the method. This paper suggests a patern for choosing the freely selected initial approximation in the VIM that leads to a very well approximation by only one iteration.

Numerical examples are included to confirm applicability and justify rapid convergence of our method.

Exact Solutions For Wind-Driven Coastal Upwelling And Downwelling Over Sloping Bathymetry, Dana Lynn Duke, Paul Derek Sinz

Mathematics

The dynamics of wind-driven coastal upwelling and downwelling are studied using a simplified dynamical model. Exact solutions are examined as a function of time and over a family of sloping bathymetries. Assumptions in the two-dimensional model include a frictionless ocean interior below the surface Ekman layer, and no alongshore dependence of the variables; however, dependence in the cross-shore and vertical directions is retained. Additionally, density and alongshore momentum are advected by the cross-shore velocity in order to maintain thermal wind. The time-dependent initial-value problem is solved with constant initial stratification and no initial alongshore flow. An alongshore pressure gradient is …

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we present a comparative study of Sinc-Galerkin method and differential transform method to solve Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem. As an application, a comparison between the two methods for various celebrated Sturm-Liouville problems are analyzed for their eigenvalues and solutions. The study outlines the significant features of the two methods. The results show that these methods are very efficient, and can be applied to a large class of problems. The comparison of the methods shows that although the numerical results of these methods are the same, differential transform method is much easier, and more efficient than the Sinc-Galerkin method.

Temperature Profiles In A Disc Brake, K. Venkateswara Reddy, D. Rama Murthy

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The Science of heat transfer allows us to determine the time rate of energy transfer caused by non equilibrium of temperatures. The importance of heat transfer in proper design of Automobiles has long been recognized. In this paper we determined the transient temperature distributions in a disc brake during a single brake application using Finite difference numerical technique. Hyperbolic heat conduction which includes the effect of the finite heat propagation is gaining importance. It is necessary to consider hyperbolic heat conduction in problems involving short time intervals and for very high heat fluxes. Here we considered both parabolic and hyperbolic …

Intrinsic Contact Geometry Of Protein Dynamics, Yosi Shibberu, Allen Holder, David Cooper

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

We introduce a new measure for comparing protein structures that is especially applicable to analysis of molecular dynamics simulation results. The new measure generalizes the widely used root-mean-squared-deviation (RMSD) measure from three dimensional to n-dimensional Euclidean space, where n equals the number of atoms in the protein molecule. The new measure shows that despite significant fluctuations in the three dimensional geometry of the estrogen receptor protein, the protein's intrinsic contact geometry is remarkably stable over nanosecond time scales. The new measure also identifies significant structural changes missed by RMSD for a residue that plays a key biological role in …

Discrete Fractional Calculus And Its Applications To Tumor Growth, Sevgi Sengul

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Almost every theory of mathematics has its discrete counterpart that makes it conceptually easier to understand and practically easier to use in the modeling process of real world problems. For instance, one can take the "difference" of any function, from 1st order up to the n-th order with discrete calculus. However, it is also possible to extend this theory by means of discrete fractional calculus and make n- any real number such that the ½-th order difference is well defined. This thesis is comprised of five chapters that demonstrate some basic definitions and properties of discrete fractional calculus …

An Algorithm To Generate Two-Dimensional Drawings Of Conway Algebraic Knots, Jen-Fu Tung

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The problem of finding an efficient algorithm to create a two-dimensional embedding of a knot diagram is not an easy one. Typically, knots with a large number of crossings will not nicely generate two-dimensional drawings. This thesis presents an efficient algorithm to generate a knot and to create a nice two-dimensional embedding of the knot. For the purpose of this thesis a drawing is “nice” if the number of tangles in the diagram consisting of half-twists is minimal. More specifically, the algorithm generates prime, alternating Conway algebraic knots in O(n) time where n is the number of crossings …

Sparse Representation For Detection Of Transients Using A Multi-Resolution Representation Of The Auto-Correlation Of Wavelets, Caroline Sieger

All Theses

This thesis seeks to detect damped sinusoidal transients, specifically capacitor switching transients, buried in noise and to answer the following questions: 1.) Can the transient s(t;q) be sparsely represented from s&delta(t) = s(t;q) + &epsilon(t) using sparsity methods, where &epsilon(t) is white Gaussian noise? 2.) Does computing the local auto-correlation of the signal around the transient improve detection? 3.) How does the auto-correlation shell representation compare to the wavelet representation? 4.) Which basis is ''best''? 5.) Which method and representation is best? This thesis explores detection schemes based on classical methods and newer sparsity methods. Classical methods considered include reconstruction …

Compressive Sensing, Yue Mao

All Theses

Compressive sensing is a novel paradigm for acquiring signals and has a wide range of applications. The basic assumption is that one can recover a sparse or compressible signal from far fewer measurements than traditional methods. The difficulty lies in the construction of efficient recovery algorithms. In this thesis, we review two main approaches for solving the sparse recovery problem in compressive sensing: l1-minimization methods and greedy methods. Our contribution is that we look at compressive sensing from a different point of view by connecting it with sparse interpolation. We introduce a new algorithm for compressive sensing called generalized eigenvalues …

A Numerical Study Of Subgrid Artificial Viscosity Methods For The Navier-Stokes Equations, Keith Galvin

All Theses

This paper studies two artificial viscosity methods for approximating solutions to the Navier&ndashStokes Equations. Both methods that are introduced add stabilization, then remove it only on a coarse mesh. Both methods can be considered as conforming, mixed methods for 1) velocity and its gradient, and 2) velocity and vorticity. Herein we rigorously study the schemes both analytically and computationally, showing that both methods are unconditionally stable and optimally convergent. Numerical experiments show both methods provide improved results over the unstabilized Navier&ndashStokes Equations.
