This paper describes the characteristics of small-amplitude waves generated by a sinusoidally oscillating, inclined paddle-type wavemaker operating in a constant-depth channel. Two-dimensional, linearized potential flow is assumed. A semi-analytical method, the boundary collocation method, is used to establish the relationship between wave amplitude and paddle stroke. The numerical results are ...

The aim of the present paper is to associate a new symmetric boundary integral method to well known symmetric domain methods with the purpose of improving solutions of multi-eld problems with coupled boundary and domain methods. From a single-eld variational principle for a 3D linear, elastodynamic state a three-eld hybrid principle is developed by Hamiltons principle and decoupling displacemen...

The payoffs of the barrier options depend on the time path of the underlying price as opposed to just the price at expiry. It implies that both the boundary conditions and the initial condition are imposed on the Black-Scholes partial differential equation. Therefore, the valuation of the barrier options is a boundary value problem. Since the Black-Scholes equation can be converted into a homog...

Integral representations are derived from a differential-type boundary value problem using a fundamental solution. A set of integral representations is equivalent to a set of differential equations. If the boundary conditions are substituted into the integral representations, the integral equations are obtained, and the unknown variables are determined by solving the integral equations. In othe...
