A numerical method for solving linear integral equations of the second kind on the non-rectangular domains based on the meshless method

The main purpose of this article is to describe a numerical scheme for solving two-dimensional linear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind on a non-rectangular domain. The method approximates the solution by the discrete collocation method based on radial basis functions (RBFs) constructed on a set of disordered data. The proposed method does not require any background mesh or cell structures, so it is meshless and consequently independent of the geometry of domain. This approach reduces the solution of the two-dimensional integral equation to the solution of a linear system of algebraic equations. The error analysis of the method is provided. The proposed scheme is also extended to linear mixed Volterra–Fredholm integral equations. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the new technique.     

The Minimal Length Uncertainty and the Nonextensive Thermodynamics

In this paper, we study the thermodynamics of quantum harmonic oscillator in the Tsallis framework and in the presence of a minimal length uncertainty. The existence of the minimal length is motivated by various theories such as string theory, loop quantum gravity, and black-hole physics. We analytically obtain the partition function, probability function, internal energy, and the specific heat capacity of the vibrational quantum system for \(1<q<\frac {3}{2}\) and compare the results with those of Tsallis and Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics without the minimal length scale.     

Synchronization and stabilization of fractional order nonlinear systems with adaptive fuzzy controller and compensation signal

In this paper, a direct adaptive fuzzy controller with compensation signal is presented to control and stabilize a class of fractional order systems with unknown nonlinearities. Based on a Lyapunov function candidate the global Mittag–Leffler stability is proved and a new fractional order adaptation law is derived. The adaptation law adjusts free parameters of the fuzzy controller and bounds them by utilizing a novel fractional order projection algorithm. Furthermore, due to the use of compensation term, the proposed approach does not demand suitable membership functions in the fuzzy system. In addition, the stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by utilizing a supervisory controller. Numerical simulations show the validity and effectiveness of the introduced scheme for various fractional order nonlinear models that perturbed by disturbance and uncertainty.     

On the conformally coupled scalar field quantum cosmology

We propose a new initial condition for the homogeneous and isotropic quantum cosmology, where the source of the gravitational field is a conformally coupled scalar field, and the maximally symmetric hypersurfaces have positive curvature. After solving corresponding Wheeler–DeWitt equation, we obtain exact solutions in both classical and quantum levels. We propose appropriate initial condition for the wave packets which results in a complete classical and quantum correspondence. These wave packets closely follow the classical trajectories and peak on them. We also quantify this correspondence using de Broglie–Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics. Using this proposal, the quantum potential vanishes along the Bohmian paths and the classical and Bohmian trajectories coincide with each other. We show that the model contains singularities even at the quantum level. Therefore, the resulting wave packets closely follow the classical trajectories from big-bang to big-crunch.     

Thin plate spline Galerkin scheme for numerically solving nonlinear weakly singular Fredholm integral equations

The present work proposes a numerical method to obtain an approximate solution of non-linear weakly singular Fredholm integral equations. The discrete Galerkin method in addition to thin-plate splines established on scattered points is utilized to estimate the solution of these integral equations. The thin-plate splines can be regarded as a type of free shape parameter radial basis functions which create an efficient and stable technique to approximate a function. The discrete Galerkin method for the approximate solution of integral equations results from the numerical integration of all integrals in the method. We utilize a special accurate quadrature formula via the non-uniform composite Gauss-Legendre integration rule and employ it to compute the singular integrals appeared in the scheme. Since the approach does not need any background meshes, it can be identified as a meshless method. Error analysis is also given for the method. Illustrative examples are shown clearly the reliability and efficiency of the new scheme and confirm the theoretical error estimates.     

LOCAL GAUSSIAN-COLLOCATION SCHEME TO APPROXIMATE THE SOLUTION OF NONLINEAR FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS USING VOLTERRA INTEGRAL EQUATIONS

This work describes an accurate and effective method for numerically solving a class of nonlinear fractional differential equations.To start the method,we equivalently convert these types of differential equations to nonlinear fractional Volterra integral equations of the second kind by integrating from both sides of them.Afterward,the solution of the mentioned Volterra integral equations can be estimated using the collocation method based on locally supported Gaussian functions.The local Gaussian-collocation scheme estimates the unknown function utilizing a small set of data instead of all points in the solution domain,so the proposed method uses much less computer memory and volume computing in comparison with global cases.We apply the composite non-uniform Gauss-Legendre quadrature formula to estimate singular-fractional integrals in the method.Because of the fact that the proposed scheme requires no cell structures on the domain,it is a meshless method.Furthermore,we obtain the error analysis of the proposed method and demon-strate that the convergence rate of the approach is arbitrarily high.Illustrative examples clearly show the reliability and efficiency of the new technique and confirm the theoretical error estimates.     

Note on Semi-Linkage with Almost Prescribed Lengths in Large Graphs

We prove a sharp connectivity and degree sum condition for the existence of a subdivision of a multigraph in which some of the vertices are specified and the distance between each pair of vertices in the subdivision is prescribed (within one). Our proof makes use of the powerful Regularity Lemma in an easy way that highlights the extreme versatility of the lemma.

Nonperturbative effects of the minimal length uncertainty on the relativistic quantum mechanics

We study the nonperturbative effects of the minimal length on the energy spectrum of a relativistic particle in the context of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). This form of GUP is consistent with various candidates of quantum gravity such as string theory, loop quantum gravity, and black-hole physics and predicts a minimum measurable length proportional to the Planck length. Using a recently proposed formally self-adjoint representation, we solve the generalized Dirac and Klein–Gordon equations in various situations and find the corresponding exact energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. We show that for the Dirac particle in a box, the number of the solutions renders to be finite as a manifestation of both the minimal length and the theory of relativity. For the case of the Dirac oscillator and the wave equations with scalar and vector linear potentials, we indicate that the solutions can be obtained in a more simpler manner through the self-adjoint representation. It is also shown that, in the ultrahigh frequency regime, the partition function and the thermodynamical variables of the Dirac oscillator can be expressed in a closed analytical form. The Lorentz violating nature of the GUP-corrected relativistic wave equations is discussed finally.
