Changes in the New Year.

A few new (?) facts about infinite elements

We discuss the (conjugated) Bubnov–Galerkin and Petrov–Galerkin infinite element (IE) discretizations to Helmholtz equation including the use of elements of locally variable order, optimal choice of IE shape functions, calculation of Echo Area (EA), and automatic hp-adaptivity. The discussion is illustrated with 2D numerical experiments. 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. MSC classificatio...

A Few Words on Our New Format

Solving aero-acoustic or electromagnetic wave-dominated problems often requires finding accurate infinite domain solutions on a finite computational domain. One way of accomplishing this is to formulate absorbing boundary conditions through the technique of perfectly matched layers (PML). We discuss recent developments of PML methods for the absorption of acoustic waves in homogeneous mean flow...

چکیده-پخش بار بهینه به عنوان یکی از ابزار زیر بنایی برای تحلیل سیستم های قدرت پیچیده ،برای مدت طولانی مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است.پخش بار بهینه توابع هدف یک سیستم قدرت از جمله تابع هزینه سوخت ،آلودگی ،تلفات را بهینه می کند،و هم زمان قیود سیستم قدرت را نیز برآورده می کند.در کلی ترین حالتopf یک مساله بهینه سازی غیر خطی ،غیر محدب،مقیاس بزرگ،و ایستا می باشد که می تواند شامل متغیرهای کنترلی پیوسته و گ...

A New Year, A New Beginning

The Day of Epiphany is one of the seven principal celebrations of the church year, right up there with Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and All Saints’ Day, but because it rarely falls on a Sunday, it doesn’t get the same attention as those other holidays. The word “epiphany” means “to manifest” or "make known," and during this Epiphany season, all of our readings will, in some way, reveal the true...
