Abstract:
The Riemann initial value problem is studied for scalar conservation laws whose fluxes have a single inflection point. For a regularization consisting of balanced diffusive and dispersive terms, the travelling wave criterion is used to select admissible shocks. In some cases, the Riemann problem solution contains an undercompressive shock. The analysis is illustrated by exploring parameter space for the Buckley–Leverett flux. The boundary of the set of parameters for which there is a physical solution of the Riemann problem for all data is computed. Within the region of acceptable parameters,

Simulation-optimization methods are often used to derive operation rules for large-scale hydropower reservoir systems. The solution of the simulation-optimization models is complex and time-consuming, for many interconnected variables need to be optimized, and the objective functions need to be computed through simulation in many periods. Since global solutions are seldom obtained, the initial solutions are important to the solution quality. In this paper, a two-stage method is proposed to derive operation rules for large-scale hydropower systems. In the first stage, the optimal operation mode

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) algorithms can easily end up in local minima, depending on the starting configuration. This is particularly true for 2-dimensional ordinal MDS.

MDS programs give the user only one supposedly Stress-optimal solution. We here present a procedure for analyzing all MDS solutions resulting from using a variety of different starti

Finding solutions for the p-median problem is one of the primary research issues in the field of location theory.

This study introduces a computationally efficient and deterministic algorithm whose objective is to return a near optimal solution for the p-median problem. The merit of the proposed approach, called Relocation Median (RLM), lies in solving the p-median problem in superior computational time

The formative process involved three phases: (a) definition of need and proposed solution, (b) design of a prototype, and (c) progressive refinement through field-testing and revision cycles. The summative component included a two-phase experimental design for validating the accuracy of expert system output through comparisons with human experts. The findings indicated th

Object of research: the problem of rational allocation of a multidimensional resource to ensure multi-nomenclature production in conditions of uncertainty. Mathematical model of the problem: nonlinear non-separable multi-index mathematical programming problem based on a system of linear multi-index constraints. An important feature complicating the problem is the fuzziness of the source data. Convergent iterative procedure based on the proven theorem is proposed to solve the problem.

Abstract:
Hydrogel beads based on the husk of agarwood fruit (HAF)/sodium alginate (SA), and based on the HAF/chitosan (CS) were developed for the removal of the dyes, crystal violet (CV) and reactive blue 4 (RB4), in aqueous solutions, respectively. The effects of the initial pH (2–10) of the dye solution, the adsorbent dosage (0.5–3.5 g/L), and contact time (0–540 min) were investigated in a batch system. The dynamic adsorption behavior of CV and RB4 can be represented well by the pseudo-second-order model and pseudo-first-order model, respectively. In addition, the adsorption isotherm data can be exp

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the efficient Chebyshev wavelet collocation method for Ginzburg-Landau equation. The basic idea of this method is to have the approximation of Chebyshev wavelet series of a non-linear PDE. We demonstrate how to use the method for the numerical solution of the Ginzburg-Landau equation with initial and boundary conditions. For this purpose, we have obtained operational matrix for Chebyshev wavelets. By applying this technique in Ginzburg-Landau equation, the PDE is converted into an algebraic system of non-linear equations and this system has been sol

AbstractIn biomedical engineering, dipole source localization is commonly used to identify brain activities from scalp recorded potentials, which is known as inverse problem of electroencephalography (EEG) source localization. However, this problem is fundamental in biomedical engineering, medicine and neuroscience.

Abstract:
Abstract A problem of solving a continuous noncooperative game is considered, where the player’s pure strategies are sinusoidal functions of time. In order to reduce issues of practical computability, certainty, and realizability, a method of solving the game approximately is presented. The method is based on mapping the product of the functional spaces into a hyperparallelepiped of the players’ phase lags. The hyperparallelepiped is then substituted with a hypercubic grid due to a uniform sampling. Thus, the initial game is mapped into a finite one, in which the players’ payoff matrices are h

<p>The paper considers a linear discrete system with bounded control. The speed-in-action problem is solved for the system, that is, it is required to construct a control process that transfers the system from the initial state to the origin in a minimum number of steps. If the set of acceptable control values has a superellipse structure, then the problem of calculating optimal control can be reduced to solving a system of algebraic equations. A superellipsoidal approximation method has been developed for sets of arbitrary structure, and the case of asymmetric sets has been considered.

The Glauert inflow formula (equation) is a nonlinear equation usually solved by the Newton–Raphson method in a relatively small number of iterations.

The study examines several selected methods in terms of finding ones that provide a solution in only one iteration with acceptable accuracy.

Here, the distance of the constraint function to the feasibility bounds of the constraint is computed in every situation and the control signal is chosen appropriately to facilitate the constraint stays safe.
