On Torsion of Prismatic Bodies

The method of decaying residual solution is applied to obtain an approximate interior solution for the torsion of slender prismatic elastic bodies under different end conditions. The approximate solution is generally accurate up to terms that are exponentially small in the length-to-cross-sectional-width ratio. For stress end conditions, the result is identical to the classical Saint-Venant torsion solution. Similar types of simple solutions, not known previously, are obtained for different types of mixed end conditions. For displacement conditions at both ends, the corresponding Saint-Venant type result requires an accurate solution of a canonical problem for a semi-infinite prismatic body that is to be obtained once and for all. The solution of the canonical problem is elementary for a circular cross section. The approximate interior solution in that case is identical to the known exact interior solution.     

The Rayleigh–Stokes problem for an edge in a generalized Oldroyd-B fluid

The velocity field corresponding to the Rayleigh–Stokes problem for an edge, in an incompressible generalized Oldroyd-B fluid has been established by means of the double Fourier sine and Laplace transforms. The fractional calculus approach is used in the constitutive relationship of the fluid model. The obtained solution, written in terms of the generalized G-functions, is presented as a sum of the Newtonian solution and the corresponding non-Newtonian contribution. The solution for generalized Maxwell fluids, as well as those for ordinary Maxwell and Oldroyd-B fluids, performing the same motion, is obtained as a limiting case of the present solution. This solution can be also specialized to give the similar solution for generalized second grade fluids. However, for simplicity, a new and simpler exact solution is established for these fluids. For β → 1, this last solution reduces to a previous solution obtained by a different technique.

Global solution to the incompressible flow of liquid crystals

The initial–boundary value problem for the three-dimensional incompressible flow of liquid crystals is considered in a bounded smooth domain. The existence and uniqueness is established for both the local strong solution with large initial data and the global strong solution with small data. It is also proved that when the strong solution exists, a weak solution must be equal to the unique strong solution with the same data.     

Approximate analytic solutions to Radulet equations for the analysis of electromagnetic transients in single-phase power transmission lines

In this work, an analytic development for a transmission line with a corona effect for simulating an electromagnetic transient is presented. The asymptotic solution for the Radulet equations in which a nonlinear term is presented is obtained. The study is carried out for a single-phase transmission line. The electrical parameters for an overhead line are defined and several formulations for their calculation are presented. The frequency dependence of the electrical parameters is considered. In the first part, the linear problem solution is found; the Fourier and Laplace transforms are applied with respect to distance and time respectively. After finding the solution in the Fourier–Laplace domain, which is expressed in terms of a Green’s function integral, an approximate analytical solution is obtained in the distance–time domain by means of asymptotic methods. Finally, the nonlinear solution is found using as a first approach the linear solution. The results obtained show an attenuation in the voltage wave due to the corona effect.     

Using Tabu search in CSPS

A heuristic method TABU-CSP using Tabu Search (TS) is described for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). The method is started with a complete but inconsistent solution of a binary CSP and obtained in prespecified number of iterations either a consistent solution or a near optimal solution with an acceptable number of conflicts. The repair in the solution at each iterative step is done by using two heuristics alternatively. The first heuristic is a min-conflict heuristic that chooses a variable with the maximum number of conflicts and reassigns it the value which leads to the minimum number of conflicts. If the acceptable solution is not reached after the search continued for a certain number of iterations, the min-conflict heuristic is changed and the variable selected least number of times is chosen for repair. If an acceptable solution is not reached, the method switches back to the min-conflict heuristic and proceeds further. This allowed the method to explore a different region of search space for the solution as well as to prevent cycling. The demonstration of the method is shown on a toy problem [9] which has no solution. The method is then tested on various randomly generated CSPs with different starting solutions. The performance of the proposed method in terms of the average number of consistency is checked and the average number of conflicts is compared with that of the Branch and Bound (BB) method used to obtain the same solution. In almost all cases, the proposed method moves faster to the acceptable solution than BB.     

Closed-form exact solutions of MHD viscous flow over a shrinking sheet

In this paper, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow over a shrinking sheet is solved analytically. The solution is given in a closed-form equation and is an exact solution of the full governing Navier–Stokes equations for the problem. Interesting solution behavior is observed with multiple solution branches for certain parameter domain.     

On differential equations with interval coefficients

In this study, a new approach is developed to solve the initial value problem for interval linear differential equations. In the considered problem, the coefficients and the initial values are constant intervals. In the developed approach, there is no need to define a derivative for interval-valued functions. All derivatives used in the approach are classical derivatives of real functions. The reason for this is that the solution of the problem is defined as a bunch of real functions. Such a solution concept is compatible also with the robust stability concept. Sufficient conditions are provided for the solution to be expressed analytically. In addition, on a numerical example, the solution obtained by the proposed approach is compared with the solution obtained by the generalized Hukuhara differentiability. It is shown that the proposed approach gives a new type of solution. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the solution to the considered interval initial value problem exists and is unique, as in the real case.

SOME RECENT PROGRESS ON STOCHASTIC HEAT EQUATIONS

This article attempts to give a short survey of recent progress on a class of elementary stochastic partial differential equations(for example, stochastic heat equations)driven by Gaussian noise of various covariance structures. The focus is on the existence and uniqueness of the classical(square integrable) solution(mild solution, weak solution). It is also concerned with the Feynman-Kac formula for the solution; Feynman-Kac formula for the moments of the solution; and their applications to the asymptotic moment bounds of the solution. It also briefly touches the exact asymptotics of the moments of the solution.

The rights egalitarian solution for NTU sharing problems

The purpose of this paper is to extend the rights egalitarian solution (Herrero et al. in Math Soc Sci 37:59–77, 1999) to the context of non-transferable utility sharing problems. Such an extension is not unique. Depending on the kind of properties we want to preserve we obtain two different generalizations. One is the “proportional solution”, that corresponds to the Kalai–Smorodinsky solution for surplus sharing problems and the solution in Herrero (Soc Choice Welf 15:113–119, 1998) for rationing problems. The other is the “Nash solution”, that corresponds to the standard Nash bargaining solution for surplus sharing problems and the Nash rationing solution (Mariotti and Villar in Int J Game Theory 33:367–377, 2005) for the case of rationing problems.     

LONG TIME ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF SOLUTION OF IMPLICIT DIFFERENCE SCHEME FOR A SEMI-LINEAR PARABOLIC EQUATION

In this paper, the solution of back-Euler implicit difference scheme for a semi-linea rparabolic equation is proved to converge to the solution of difference scheme for the corresponding semi-linear elliptic equation as t tends to infinity. The long asymptotic behavior of its discrete solution is obtained which is analogous to that of its continuous solution. At last, a few results are also presented for Crank-Nicolson scheme.     

The Elementary Solution of Triple Integral Equations and The Solution of Triple Series Equations Involving Associated Legendre Polynomials and their Application

A method is developed for the formal solution of an important class of triple integral equations involving Bessel functions. The solution of the triple integral equations is reduced to two simultaneous Fredholm integral equations and the results obtained are simpler than those of other authors and also superior for the purposes of solution by iteration. In the same manner the formal solution of triple series equations involving associated Legendre polynomials is presented. The solution of the problem is reduced to that of solving a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind. Finally to illustrate the application of the results an electrostatic problem is discussed.     

Lyapunov functions in justification theorems for asymptotics

A formal asymptotic solution is considered for a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations in a neighborhood of a singular point. The problem of existence of an exact solution with such an asymptotics and the problem of stability of this solution are solved. The main tool in these studies is the Lyapunov function for a system linearized on a formal solution.     

Mathematical studies of the solution of Burgers' equations by Adomian decomposition method

In this paper, a novel Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is developed for the solution of Burgers' equation. While high level of this method for differential equations are found in the literature, this work covers most of the necessary details required to apply ADM for partial differential equations. The present ADM has the capability to produce three different types of solutions, namely, explicit exact solution, analytic solution, and semi-analytic solution. In the best cases, when a closed-form solution exists, ADM is able to capture this exact solution, while most of the numerical methods can only provide an approximation solution. The proposed ADM is validated using different test cases dealing with inviscid and viscous Burgers' equations. Satisfactory results are obtained for all test cases, and, particularly, results reported in this paper agree well with those reported by other researchers.     

A Spectral Method for Neutral Volterra Integro-Differential Equation with Weakly Singular Kernel

This paper is concerned with obtaining an approximate solution and an approximate derivative of the solution for neutral Volterra integro-differential equation with a weakly singular kernel. The solution of this equation, even for analytic data, is not smooth on the entire interval of integration. The Jacobi collocation discretization is proposed for the given equation. A rigorous analysis of error bound is also provided which theoretically justifies that both the error of approximate solution and the error of approximate derivative of the solution decay exponentially in $L^∞$ norm and weighted $L^2$ norm. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the spectral method.     

An approximation of stochastic hyperbolic equations: case with Wiener process

In the present paper, the two‐step difference scheme for the Cauchy problem for the stochastic hyperbolic equation is presented. The convergence estimate for the solution of the difference scheme is established. In applications, the convergence estimates for the solution of difference schemes for the numerical solution of four problems for hyperbolic equations are obtained. The theoretical statements for the solution of this difference scheme are supported by the results of the numerical experiment. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The method of fundamental solutions for linear diffusion-reaction equations

The paper presents an extension of the solution procedure based on the method of fundamental solutions proposed earlier in the literature for solving linear diffusion reaction equations in nonregular geometries in two and three dimensions. The solution procedure utilizes the fundamental solution to the problem along with boundary collocation to result in a grid-free numerical scheme. A new heuristic for source location is utilized along with orthogonal collocation in nonsmooth domains to improve the accuracy of the solution. The efficacy of the solution procedure is demonstrated for a variety of problems in nonregular simply and multiply connected geometries with nonuniform boundary conditions.
