We construct and analyze a family of well-conditioned boundary integral equations for the Krylov iterative solution of three-dimensional elastic scattering problems by a bounded rigid obstacle. We develop a new potential theory using a rewriting of the Somigliana integral representation formula. From these results, we generalize to linear elasticity the well-known Brakhage-Werner and Combined F...

We consider the problem of finding optimal exercise policies for American options, both under constant and stochastic volatility settings. Rather than work with the usual equations that characterize the price exclusively, we derive and use boundary evolution equations that characterize the evolution of the optimal exercise boundary. Using these boundary evolution equations we show how one can c...

this paper is devoted to the study of establishing sufficient conditions forexistence and uniqueness of positive solution to a class ofnon-linear problems of fractional differential equations. the boundary conditionsinvolved riemann-liouville fractional order derivative and integral. further, the non-linear function $f$ containfractional order derivative which produce extra complexity. thank to...

Analysis of aperture-coupled microstrip antennas with a superstrate using space domain closed form Greens functions is presented. Integral equations are derived from applying the boundary conditions on the radiating patch, across the aperture, and on the microstrip feedline. The computation of space domain greens functions is performed using the closed-form. The solution of the integral equatio...

Response of a transversely isotropic 3-D half-space subjected to a surface time-harmonic excitation is presented in analytical form. The derivation of the fundamental solutions expressed in terms of displacements is based on the prefect series of displacement potential functions that have been obtained in the companion paper by the authors. First the governing equations are uncoupled in the cyl...

The present investigation deals with study of thermoelastic damping and frequency shift of Kirchhoff plate resonators by using generalized thermoelasticity theory of dual-phase-lag model. The basic equations of motion and heat conduction equation are written with the help of Kirchhoff-Love plate theory and dual phase lag model. The analytical expressions for thermoelastic damping and frequency ...

The first passage time problem for Brownian motions hitting a barrier has been extensively studied in the literature. In particular, many incarnations of integral equations which link the density of the hitting time to the equation for the barrier itself have appeared. Most interestingly, Peskir (2002b) demonstrates that a master integral equation can be used to generate a countable number of n...

This guide describes a collection of programs for creating and re ning triangulations on surfaces and solving integral equations using collocation methods over these tri angulations The main purpose of this package is to allow for experimentation with numerical methods for solving boundary integral equations that are de ned on piecewise smooth surfaces in R For a general survey of the numerical...
