(R1508) Stability And Zero Velocity Curves In The Perturbed Restricted Problem Of 2 + 2 Bodies, Rajiv Aggarwal, Dinesh Kumar, Bhavneet Kaur

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The present study investigates the existence and linear stability of the equilibrium points in the restricted problem of 2+2 bodies including the effect of small perturbations epsilon-1 and espilon-2 in the Coriolis and centrifugal forces respectively. The less massive primary is considered as a straight segment and the more massive primary a point mass. The equations of motion of the infinitesimal bodies are derived.We obtain fourteen equilibrium points of the model, out of which six are collinear and rest non-collinear with the centers of the primaries. The position of the equilibrium points are affected by the small perturbation in centrifugal …

(R1493) Discussion On Stability And Hopf-Bifurcation Of An Infected Prey Under Refuge And Predator, Moulipriya Sarkar, Tapasi Das

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The paper deals with the case of non-selective predation in a partially infected prey-predator system, where both the susceptible prey and predator follow the law of logistic growth and some preys avoid predation by hiding. The disease-free preys get infected in due course of time by a certain rate. However, the carrying capacity of the predator population is considered proportional to the sum-total of the susceptible and infected prey. The positivity and boundedness of the solutions of the system are studied and the existence of the equilibrium points and stability of the system are analyzed at these points. The effect …

The existence and stability of stationary points are investigated under the effects of heterogeneous primary having N-layers with different densities, radiating finite straight segment and the Coriolis as well as centrifugal forces in the frame of cr3bp. The equations of motion are determined with the help of which we evaluate five stationary points analytically as well as graphically, and examine their stability.

(R1494) Approximate Solutions Of The Telegraph Equation, Ilija Jegdić

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper the initial boundary value problems for the linear telegraph equation in one and two space dimensions are considered. To find approximate solutions, a recently proposed optimization-free approach that utilizes artificial neural networks with one hidden layer is used, in which the connecting weights from the input layer to the hidden layer are chosen randomly and the weights from the hidden layer to the output layer are found by solving a system of linear equations. One of the advantages of this method, in comparison to the usual discretization methods for the two-dimensional linear telegraph equation, is that this …

(R1471) Mhd Reiner-Rivlin Liquid Flow Through A Porous Cylindrical Annulus, Satya Deo, Satish Kumar

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The present work concerns the steady and unsteady flow of an incompressible Reiner- Rivlin liquid in the porous annular region of two concentric rotating cylinders, which is moving parallel to their axis, about the common axis of these cylinders under uniform magnetic field acted in perpendicular direction of the axis. The electrically conducting flow of Reiner-Rivlin liquid in the annular porous region is governed by the Brinkman equation with the consideration that the effective viscosity of liquid is same as viscosity of the liquid. Analytical expressions for velocity components, pressure gradient and volumetric flow rate are established. Effects of the …

(R1523) Abundant Natural Resources, Ethnic Diversity And Inclusive Growth In Sub-Saharan Africa: A Mathematical Approach, Juliet I. Adenuga, Kazeem B. Ajide, Anthonia T. Odeleye, Abayomi A. Ayoade

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The sub-Saharan African region is blessed with abundant natural resources and diverse ethnic groups, yet the region is dominated by the largest number of poor people worldwide due to inequitable distribution of national income. Existing statistics forecast decay in the quality of lives over the years compared to the continent of Asia that shares similar history with the region. In this paper, a-five dimensional first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations was formulated to give insight into various factors that shaped dynamics of inclusive growth in sub-Saharan Africa. The validity test was performed based on ample mathematical theorems and the model was …

A Practical Extension To The Ab/Ba Design, My T.A Nguyen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this work, we take a close look at a general extension to the traditional AB/BA
crossover design that is commonly used in clinical trials to determine the effectiveness
of new candidate drugs. While the traditional crossover design requires each patient
in the study to be measured on both treatment A and treatment B, we consider the
possibility of additional measurements being available on each patient. This produces
designs such as the AABB/BBAA design which has been used in previous studies.
A general test statistic will be derived to test for treatment effects as well as its
corresponding power function …

An Algorithm For Biobjective Mixed Integer Quadratic Programs, Pubudu Jayasekara Merenchige

All Dissertations

Multiobjective quadratic programs (MOQPs) are appealing since convex quadratic programs have elegant mathematical properties and model important applications. Adding mixed-integer variables extends their applicability while the resulting programs become global optimization problems. Thus, in this work, we develop a branch and bound (BB) algorithm for solving biobjective mixed-integer quadratic programs (BOMIQPs). An algorithm of this type does not exist in the literature.

The algorithm relies on five fundamental components of the BB scheme: calculating an initial set of efficient solutions with associated Pareto points, solving node problems, fathoming, branching, and set dominance. Considering the properties of the Pareto set of …

On The P-Inner Functions Of ℓPA, James G. Dragas

Mathematics & Statistics Theses & Dissertations

Define ℓ^p_A as the space of all functions holomorphic over the unit disk whose Taylor coefficients are p-summable. Despite their classical origins and simple definition, these spaces are not as well understood as one might expect. This is particularly true when compared with the Hardy spaces, which provide a useful road map for the types of questions we might consider reasonable. In this work we examine the zero sets of ℓ^p_A, p ∈ (1;∞), as well as a notion of inner function that is consistent with the approach taken on numerous other function spaces. …

Grid Homology Invariants For Singular Legendrian Links, Richard Michael Shumate

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

If $\Lambda_{1}^{\ast}$ and $\Lambda_{2}^{\ast}$ are two oriented singular Legendrian links that are Legendrian isotopic, we first construct front diagram representations of $\Lambda_{1}^{\ast}$ and $\Lambda_{2}^{\ast}$ that have a natural allowable singular gird diagram associated to them. These allowable singular grid diagrams will always correspond to singular Legendrian links. The grid Legendrian invariants, $\lambda^{\pm}$, in the nonsingular grid homology theory have a natural extension to the singular grid theory, and are natural under the newly defined singular grid moves. This gives an invariant of singular Legendrian links, and in fact, a broader class of singular links.

Modeling Cherenkov Light Detection Timing For The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System, Keilan Finn Ramirez

Physics

The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) is an array of four 12-meter telescopes which use the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique to conduct high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. VERITAS detects magnitude and location information associated with Cherenkov light, and uses this information to indirectly observe gamma-rays through a software reconstruction process. VERITAS also records timing information corresponding to Cherenkov light detection, and this additional information could theoretically be incorporated into the reconstruction process to improve the accuracy of gamma-ray observations. The first step to including timing information is to understand when Cherenkov light detection would be expected from a known …

(R1524) The Existence And Uniqueness Of Solution For Fractional Newel-Whitehead-Segel Equation Within Caputo-Fabrizio Fractional Operator, Ali Khalouta

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this paper, we introduce and study the existence and uniqueness theorem of the solution for the fractional Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation within Caputo-Fabrizio fractional operator. Also, we propose a new numerical method known as natural reduced differential transform method (NRDTM) for solving this equation. We confirm our theoretical discussion with two numerical examples in order to achieve the validity and accuracy of the proposed method. The computations, associated with these examples, are performed by MATLAB software package.

(R1464) Stability Of The Artificial Equilibrium Points In The Low-Thrust Restricted Three-Body Problem With Variable Mass, Amit Mittal, Krishan Pal, Pravata Kumar Behera, Deepak Mittal

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this article, we have investigated the existence and stability of the artificial equilibrium points (AEPs) in the low-thrust restricted three-body problem with variable mass. In this model of the low-thrust restricted three-body problem, we have considered both the primaries as point masses. The mass of the spacecraft varies with time according to Jeans’ law (1928). We have introduced a new concept for creating the AEPs in the restricted three-body problem with variable mass using continuous constant acceleration. We have derived the equations of motion of the spacecraft after using the space-time transformations of Meshcherskii. The AEPs have been created …

The local stability and persistence conditions are established. Lyapunov method and the second additive compound …

(R1454) On Reducing The Linearization Coefficients Of Some Classes Of Jacobi Polynomials, Waleed Abd-Elhameed, Afnan Ali

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

This article is concerned with establishing some new linearization formulas of the modified Jacobi polynomials of certain parameters. We prove that the linearization coefficients involve hypergeometric functions of the type ₄F₃(1). Moreover, we show that the linearization coefficients can be reduced in several cases by either utilizing certain standard formulas, and in particular Pfaff-Saalschütz identity and Watson’s theorem, or via employing the symbolic algebraic algorithms of Zeilberger, Petkovsek, and van Hoeij. New formulas for some definite integrals are obtained with the aid of the developed linearization formulas.

(R1504) Second-Order Modified Nonstandard Runge-Kutta And Theta Methods For One-Dimensional Autonomous Differential Equations, Madhu Gupta, John M. Slezak, Fawaz K. Alalhareth, Souvik Roy, Hristo V. Kojouharov

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Nonstandard finite difference methods (NSFD) are used in physical sciences to approximate solutions of ordinary differential equations whose analytical solution cannot be computed. Traditional NSFD methods are elementary stable but usually only have first order accuracy. In this paper, we introduce two new classes of numerical methods that are of second order accuracy and elementary stable. The methods are modified versions of the nonstandard two-stage explicit Runge-Kutta methods and the nonstandard one-stage theta methods with a specific form of the nonstandard denominator function. Theoretical analysis of the stability and accuracy of both modified NSFD methods is presented. Numerical simulations that …

(R1496) Impact Of Electronic States Of Conical Shape Of Indium Arsenide/Gallium Arsenide Semiconductor Quantum Dots, Md. Fayz-Al-Asad, Md. Al-Rumman, Md. Nur Alam, Salma Parvin, Cemil Tunç

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have unique atom-like properties. In this work, the electronic states of quantum dot grown on a GaAs substrate has been studied. The analytical expressions of electron wave function for cone-like quantum dot on the semiconductor surface has been obtained and the governing eigen value equation has been solved, thereby obtaining the dependence of ground state energy on radius and height of the cone-shaped -dots. In addition, the energy of eigenvalues is computed for various length and thickness of the wetting layer (WL). We discovered that the eigen functions and energies are nearly associated with the GaAs …

(R1458) A New Finite Difference Scheme For High-Dimensional Heat Equation, Jafar Biazar, Roxana Asayesh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this research‎, ‎a new second-order finite difference scheme is proposed to solve two and three- dimensional heat equation‎. Finite difference equations are determined via a discretization approach in which spatial second order partial derivatives in x and y directions are approximated simultaneously‎ while in the classic method, each spatial partial derivative is replaced by a central finite difference approximation, separately. By this new discretization scheme and also using the forward difference to the first-order time derivative, a finite difference equation is obtained for the parabolic equation. This approach is explicit and similar to other explicit approaches, an interval for …

On A Class Of Critical N-Laplacian Problems, Tsz Chung Ho

We establish some existence results for a class of critical N-Laplacian problems in a bounded domain in R^N. In the absence of a suitable direct sum decomposition, we use an abstract linking theorem based on the Z₂-cohomological index to obtain a nontrivial critical point.

A Parallelized And Layered Model For The Shallow-Water Equations, Alexander Stevens

All Theses

An energy- and enstrophy-conserving and optimally-dispersive numerical scheme for the shallow- water equations is accelerated through implementation in the GPU environment. Previous research showed the viability of the numerical scheme under standard shallow-water test cases, but was limited in applications by computation time constraints. We overcome these limitations by paral- lelizing the numerical computation in the GPU environment. We also extend the capabilities of the implementation to support not just a single shallow-water layer, but multiple. These improvements significantly expand the range of tests that can be used to exercise the model, and enable better understanding of the power of …
