Latest Developments In Nonlinear Sciences, Syed T. Mohyud-Din, Ahmet Yildirim

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This paper outlines a detailed study of some latest trends and developments in nonlinear sciences. The major focus of our study will be variational iteration (VIM) and its modifications, homotopy perturbation (HPM), parameter expansion and exp-function methods. The above mentioned schemes are highly accurate, extraordinary efficient, capable to cope with the versatility of the physical problems and are being used to solve a wide class of nonlinear problems. Several examples are given which reveal the justification of our claim.

A Note On He’S Parameter-Expansion Method Of Coupled Van Der Pol–Duffing Oscillators, N. H. Sweilam, M. M. Khader

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This paper presents the analytical and approximate solutions of the coupled chaotic Van der Pol-Duffing systems, by using the He's parameter-expansion method (PEM). One iteration is sufficient to obtain a highly accurate solution, which is valid for the whole solution domain. From the obtained results, we can conclude that the suggest method, is of utter simplicity, and can be easily extended to all kinds of non-linear equations.

Homotopy Perturbation Method And The Stagnation Point Flow, P. Donald Ariel

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The laminar steady flow of an incompressible, viscous fluid near a stagnation point has been computed using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). Both the cases, (i) two-dimensional flow and (ii) axisymmetric flow, have been considered. A sequence of successive approximations has been obtained in the solution, and the convergence of the sequence is achieved by using the Padé approximants. It is found that there is a complete agreement between the results obtained by the HPM and the exact numerical solution.

Numerical Modeling Of Contaminant Transport In Fractured Porous Media Using Mixed Finite Element And Finite Volume Methods, Chen Dong

All Theses

A mathematical model for contaminant species passing through fractured porous media is presented. In the numerical model, we combine two locally conservative methods, i.e. mixed finite element (MFE) and the finite volume methods. Adaptive triangle mesh is used for effective treatment of the fractures. A hybrid MFE method is employed to provide an accurate approximation of velocities field for both the fractures and matrix which are crucial to the convection part of the transport equation. The finite volume method and the standard MFE method are used to approximate the convection and dispersion terms respectively. Numerical examples in different fractured media …

Contaminant Flow And Transport Simulation In Cracked Porous Media Using Locally Conservative Schemes, Pu Song

All Theses

The purpose of this paper is to analyze some features of contaminant flow passing through cracked porous media, such as the influence of fracture network on the advection and diffusion of contaminant species, the adsorption impact of contaminant wastes on the overall transport flow and so on. In order to precisely describe the whole process, we firstly need to build the mathematical model to simulate this problem numerically. Taking into consideration of the characteristics of contaminant flow, we employ two partial differential equations to formulate the whole problem. One is flow equation, the other is reactive transport equation. The first …

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we present a reliable algorithm, the homotopy perturbation method, to solve the well-known vibration equation for very large membrane which is given initial conditions. By using initial value, the explicit solutions of the equation for different cases have been derived, which accelerate the rapid convergence of the series solution. Numerical results show that the homotopy perturbation method is easy to implement and accurate when applied to differential equations. Numerical results for different particular cases of the problem are presented graphically.

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we study the nonlinear dispersive K(m,n) equations which exhibit solutions with solitary patterns. New exact solitary solutions are found. The two special cases, K(2, 2) and K(3, 3), are chosen to illustrate the concrete features of the homotopy analysis method in K(m,n) equations. The nonlinear equations K(m,n) are studied for two different cases, namely when m = n being odd and even integers. General formulas for the solutions of K(m,n) equations are established.

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we introduce a modified variational iteration method for second order initial value problems by transforming the integral of iteration process. The main advantages of this modification are that it can overcome the restriction of the form of nonlinearity term in differential equations and improve the iterative speed of conventional variational iteration method. The method is applied to some nonlinear second order initial value problems and the numerical results reveal that the modified method is accurate and efficient for second order initial value problems.

Mobile agents are a useful paradigm for network coding providing many advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately, widespread adoption of mobile agents has been hampered by the disadvantages, which could be said to outweigh the advantages. There is a variety of ongoing work to address these issues, and this is discussed. Ultimately, genetic algorithms are selected as the most interesting potential avenue. Genetic algorithms have many potential benefits for mobile agents. The primary benefit is the potential for agents to become even more adaptive to situational changes in the environment and/or emergent security risks.

Conservation Based Uncertainty Propagation In Dynamic Systems, Lillian J. Ratliff

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Uncertainty is present in our everyday decision making process as well as our understanding of the structure of the universe. As a result an intense and mathematically rigorous study of how uncertainty propagates in the dynamic systems present in our lives is warranted and arguably necessary. In this thesis we examine existing methods for uncertainty propagation in dynamic systems and present the results of a literature survey that justifies the development of a conservation based method of uncertainty propagation. Conservation methods are physics based and physics drives our understanding of the physical world. Thus, it makes perfect sense to formulate …

Elements Of Study On Dynamic Materials, Marine Rousseau, Gerard A. Maugin, Mihhail Berezovski

Publications

As a preliminary study to more complex situations of interest in small-scale technology, this paper envisages the elementary propagation properties of elastic waves in one-spatial dimension when some of the properties (mass density, elasticity) may vary suddenly in space or in time, the second case being of course more original. Combination of the two may be of even greater interest. Toward this goal, a critical examination of what happens to solutions at the crossing of pure space-like and time-like material discontinuities is given together with simple solutions for smooth transitions and numerical simulations in the discontinuous case. The effects on …

The Generation Of Domestic Electricity Load Profiles Through Markov Chain Modelling, Aidan Duffy, Fintan Mcloughlin, Michael Conlon

Conference Papers

Micro-generation technologies such as photovoltaics and micro-wind power are becoming increasing popular among homeowners, mainly a result of policy support mechanisms helping to improve cost competiveness as compared to traditional fossil fuel generation. National government strategies to reduce electricity demand generated from fossil fuels and to meet European Union 20/20 targets is driving this change. However, the real performance of these technologies in a domestic setting is not often known as high time resolution models for domestic electricity load profiles are not readily available. As a result, projections in terms of reducing electricity demand and financial paybacks for these micro-generation …

Post-Processing Techniques And Wavelet Applications For Hammerstein Integral Equations, Khomsan Neamprem

Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations

This dissertation is focused on the varieties of numerical solutions of nonlinear Hammerstein integral equations. In the first part of this dissertation, several acceleration techniques for post-processed solutions of the Hammerstein equation are discussed. The post-processing techniques are implemented based on interpolation and extrapolation. In this connection, we generalize the results in [29] and [28] to nonlinear integral equations of the Hammerstein type. Post-processed collocation solutions are shown to exhibit better accuracy. Moreover, an extrapolation technique for the Galerkin solution of Hammerstein equation is also obtained. This result appears new even in the setting of the linear Fredholm equation.

A Solution Of The Heat Equation With The Discontinuous Galerkin Method Using A Multilivel Calculation Method That Utilizes A Multiresolution Wavelet Basis, Robert Gregory Brown

Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations

A numerical method to solve the parabolic problem is developed that utilizes the Discontinuous Galerkin Method for space and time discretization. A multilevel method is employed in the space variable. It is shown that use of this process yields the same level of accuracy as the standard Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the heat equation, but with cheaper computational cost. The results are demonstrated using a standard one-dimensional homogeneous heat problem.
