Homotopy perturbation method for fractional KdV equation

In this paper, the homotopy perturbation method is directly applied to derive approximate solutions of the fractional KdV equation. The results reveal that the proposed method is very effective and simple for solving approximate solutions of fractional differential equations.     

Compact open topology and CW homotopy type

The class of spaces having the homotopy type of a CW complex is not closed under formation of function spaces. In 1959, Milnor proved the fundamental theorem that, given a space and a compact Hausdorff space X, the space Y^X of continuous functions X→Y, endowed with the compact open topology, belongs to . P.J. Kahn extended this in 1982, showing that if X has finite n-skeleton and π_k(Y)=0, k>n.

Using a different approach, we obtain a further generalization and give interesting examples of function spaces where is not homotopy equivalent to a finite complex, and has infinitely many nontrivial homotopy groups. We also obtain information about some topological properties that are intimately related to CW homotopy type.

As an application we solve a related problem concerning towers of fibrations between spaces of CW homotopy type.     

Global Homotopy Formulas on <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis>-concave <Emphasis Type="Italic">CR</Emphasis> Manifolds for Small Degrees

Using functional analysis, we derive from local homotopy formulas for the tangential Cauchy-Riemann operator a global homotopy formula for compact CR manifolds without loss of regularity.      

2-nerves for bicategories

We describe a Cat-valued nerve of bicategories, which associates to every bicategory a simplicial object in Cat, called the 2-nerve. This becomes the object part of a 2-functor N : NHom → [Δ^op,Cat], where NHom is a 2-category whose objects are bicategories and whose 1-cells are normal homomorphisms of bicategories. The 2-functor N is fully faithful and has a left biadjoint, and we characterize its image. The 2-nerve of a bicategory is always a weak 2-category in the sense of Tamsamani, and we show that NHom is biequivalent to a certain 2-category whose objects are Tamsamani weak 2-categories.

Solving systems of ODEs by homotopy analysis method

This paper applies the homotopy analysis method (HAM) to systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The systems investigated include stiff systems, the chaotic Genesio system and the matrix Riccati-type differential equation. The HAM gives approximate analytical solutions which are of comparable accuracy to the seven- and eight-order Runge–Kutta method (RK78).

Numerical simulation of the regularized long wave equation by He's homotopy perturbation method

In this Letter, we present the homotopy perturbation method (shortly HPM) for obtaining the numerical solution of the RLW equation. We obtain the exact and numerical solutions of the Regularized Long Wave (RLW) equation for certain initial condition. The initial approximation can be freely chosen with possible unknown constants which can be determined by imposing the boundary and initial conditions. Comparison of the results with those of other methods have led us to significant consequences. The numerical solutions are compared with the known analytical solutions.     

Optimal homotopy asymptotic method with application to thin film flow

A new approximate analytical technique to address for non-linear problems, namely Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM) is proposed and has been applied to thin film flow of a fourth grade fluid down a vertical cylinder. This approach however, does not depend upon any small/large parameters in comparison to other perturbation method. This method provides a convenient way to control the convergence of approximation series and allows adjustment of convergence regions where necessary. The series solution has been developed and the recurrence relations are given explicitly. The results reveal that the proposed method is very accurate, effective and easy to use.      

An efficient simplicial algorithm for computing a zero of a convex union of smooth functions

We present an efficient simplicial algorithm for computing a zero of a point-to-set mapping that is formed by piecing together smooth functions. Such mappings arise in nonlinear programming and economic equilibrium problems. Our algorithm, under suitable regularity conditions on the problem, generates a sequence converging at least Q-superlinearly to a zero of the mapping. Asymptotically, it operates in a space of reduced dimension, analogous to an active set strategy in the optimization setting, but it switches active sets automatically. Results of computational experiments are given. Research of this author was supported by a Fellowship from the Rockeffeller Foundation.

Testing Homotopy for Paths in the Plane

In this paper we present an efficient algorithm to test if two given paths are homotopic; that is, whether they wind around obstacles in the plane in the same way. For paths specified by n line segments with obstacles described by n points, several standard ways achieve quadratic running time. For simple paths, our algorithm runs in O(n log n) time, which we show is tight. For self-intersecting paths the problem is related to Hopcrofts problem; our algorithm runs in O(n ^3/2log n) time.
