Mathematical Modelling in Applied Analysis

Mathematical modelling in applied analysis refers to exploiting mathematical knowledge about (classes of basic) equations with the aim to describe and analyse phenomena that appear in the natural and technical sciences. As an example we will show that low dimensional models can be derived for phenomena that appear in (perturbations of) dynamical Poisson systems with symmetries. We show that the...

circuit analogies programming vs mathematical modelling for soil temperature distribution

temperature profile determination in soils under adverse conditions of variable heat capacity and conductivity is a rather hard task. the heat capacity and conductivity are moisture dependent and both vary with the soil density. moisture movement on the other hand is temperature dependent and so the two interact. no single mathematical formulae as yet exists for anticipating the temperature dis...

Positive Mathematical Programming Approaches – Recent Developments in Literature and Applied Modelling

This paper reviews and discusses the more recent literature and application of Positive Mathematical Programming in the context of agricultural supply models. Specifically, advances in the empirical foundation of parameter specifications as well as the economic rationalisation of PMP models – both criticized in earlier reviews – are investigated. Moreover, the paper provides an overview on a la...
