A new kind of quasi-quartic trigonometric polynomial base functions with a shape parameter λ over the space Ω=span {1, sint, cost, sint2t, cos2t} is presented, and the corresponding quasi-quartic trigonometric Bézier curves and surfaces are defined by the introduced base functions. The quasi-quartic trigonometric Bézier curves inherit most of properties similar to those of quartic Bézier curves...

This paper calculates the exact quadratic variation in space and quartic variation in time for the solutions to a one dimensional stochastic heat equation driven by a multiplicative space-time white noise.

In this paper, we obtain the general solution and the generalized Hyers-Ulam Rassias stability of the functional equation f(2x+ y) + f(2x− y) = 4(f(x+ y) + f(x− y))− 3 7 (f(2y)− 2f(y)) + 2f(2x) − 8f(x).

The stability problem of functional equations is originated from a question of Ulam 1 concerning the stability of group homomorphisms. Hyers 2 gave a first affirmative partial answer to the question of Ulam for Banach spaces. Hyers’ Theorem was generalized by Aoki 3 for additive mappings and by Th. M. Rassias 4 for linear mappings by considering an unbounded Cauchy difference. The paper of Th. ...

The minimum free-energy path (MFEP) is the most probable route of the nucleation process on the multidimensional free-energy surface. In this study, the phase-field equation is used as a mathematical tool to deduce the MFEP of homogeneous nucleation. We use a simple square-gradient free-energy functional with a quartic local free-energy function as an example and study the time evolution of a s...
