Pseudo-Articulatory Representations (PARs) have been proposed and discussed in relation to speech processing with results reported for both synthesis and recognition. PARs are derived from linguistic specifications of articulatory activity which are both abstract and idealized. The abstractions and idealizations permit the linguistic generality to be distinguished from the articulatory reality;...

In this manuscript, we solve the ordinary model of nonlinear smoking mathematically by using second kind shifted Chebyshev polynomials. The stability equilibrium point is calculated. schematic illustrates our proposition. We discuss optimal control model, and formularize work through necessary optimality cases. A numerical technique for simulation problem adopted. Moreover, a method presented, ...

We study effects of finite height and surrounding material on photonic crystal slabs of oneand two-dimensional photonic crystals with a pseudo-spectral method and finite difference time domain simulation methods. The band gap is shown to be strongly modified by the boundary material. As an application we suggest reflection and guiding of light by patterning the material on top/below the slab.

A multi-cube method is developed for solving systems of elliptic and hyperbolic partial differential equations numerically on manifolds with arbitrary spatial topologies. It is shown that any three-dimensional manifold can be represented as a set of non-overlapping cubic regions, plus a set of maps to identify the faces of adjoining regions. The differential structure on these manifolds is fixe...

In the past few years we have been involved in the development and implementation of parallel finite element and pseudo-spectral methods for porous media flow. In this paper we present a brief review of our methods and show several examples of highly nonlinear simulations in two and three-dimensions, on different current high performance computers. New issues on finite element techniques and ps...

An orthogonal system of rational functions is introduced. Some results on rational approximations based on various orthogonal projections and interpolations are established. These results form the mathematical foundation of the related spectral method and pseudospectral method for solving differential equations on the half line. The error estimates of the rational spectral method and rational p...

‎the main purpose of this paper is to study the numerical solution of nonlinear volterra integral equations with constant delays, based on the multistep collocation method. these methods for approximating the solution in each subinterval are obtained by fixed number of previous steps and fixed number of collocation points in current and next subintervals. also, we analyze the convergence of the...

In adirect collocation pseudospectralmethod, a continuous-time optimal control problem is transcribed to afinitedimensional nonlinear programming problem. Solving this nonlinear programming problem as efficiently as possible requires that sparsity at both the firstand second-derivative levels be exploited. In this paper, a computationally efficient method is developed for computing the first an...
