The optimal trajectory planning problem for multiple trains under fixed block signaling systems and moving block signaling systems is considered. Two approaches are proposed to solve this optimal control problem for multiple trains: the greedy approach and the simultaneous approach. In each solution approach, the trajectory planning problem is transformed into a mixed integer linear programming...

A technique to incorporate directivity in the Pseudospectral time-domain method (PSTD) for auralization purposes is presented. The Pseudospectral time-domain method is a numerical method for solving the wave equation that requires only two spatial points per wavelength, making it more efficient compared to other wave based methods. The effect of source directivity as well as the head-related di...

The numerical approximation of the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation arising in ultrafast laser dynamics is discussed. The linear Schrödinger equation is reduced to a computationally tractable, lower dimensional system of nonlinear partial differential equations by the multi-configuration time-dependent Hartree-Fock method. This method serves to approximate the original wave f...

In this article, a shifted Legendre tau method is introduced to get a direct solution technique for solving multi-order fractional differential equations (FDEs) with constant coefficients subject to multi-point boundary conditions. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. Also, this article reports a systematic quadrature tau method for numerically solving multi-point boundar...

In this paper, we develop a framework to obtain approximate numerical solutions to ordi‌nary differential equations (ODEs) involving fractional order derivatives using Legendre wavelets approximations. The continues Legendre wavelets constructed on [0, 1] are uti‌lized as a basis in collocation method. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the techn...

in this article we implement an operational matrix of fractional integration for legendre polynomials. we proposed an algorithm to obtain an approximation solution for fractional differential equations, described in riemann-liouville sense, based on shifted legendre polynomials. this method was applied to solve linear multi-order fractional differential equation with initial conditions, and the...

this research focuses on proposing an optimal trajectory planning and control method of two link rigid-flexible manipulators (tlrfm) for dynamic object manipulation (dom) missions. for the first time, achievement of dom task using a rotating one flexible link robot was taken into account in [20]. the authors do not aim to contribute on either trajectory tracking or vibration control of the end-...
