the purpose of this paper is to analyze in detail a special nonlinear partial differentialequation (npde) of the second order which is important in physical, chemical and technicalapplications. the present npde describes nonlinear diffusion and is of interest in several partsof physics, chemistry and engineering problems alike. since nature is not linear intrinsicallythe nonlinear case is there...

In all cultures, human hair and hairdo have been a powerful metaphor. Tracing back the importance and significance of human hair to the dawn of civilization on the Indian subcontinent, we find that all the Vedic gods are depicted as having uncut hair in mythological stories as well as in legendary pictures. The same is true of the Hindu avatars, and the epic heroes of the Ramayana, and the Maha...

this paper gives an ecient numerical method for solving the nonlinear systemof volterra-fredholm integral equations. a legendre-spectral method based onthe legendre integration gauss points and lagrange interpolation is proposedto convert the nonlinear integral equations to a nonlinear system of equationswhere the solution leads to the values of unknown functions at collocationpoints.

Duffing harmonic oscillator is a common model for nonlinear phenomena in science and engineering. This paper presents He´s Energy Balance Method (EBM) for solving nonlinear differential equations. Two strong nonlinear cases have been studied analytically. Analytical results of the EBM are compared with the solutions obtained by using He´s Frequency Amplitude Formulation (FAF) and numerical solu...

in this study, he’s variational approach (va) is used to solve the non-naturalvibrations and oscillations. the method works very well for the whole range of initial amplitudesand does not demand small perturbation. it is also sufficiently accurate to both linear and nonlinearphysics and engineering problems. we consider some examples to illustrate the effectiveness andconvenience of the method....

reliable stress-strain behavior of concrete is necessary particularly when a member is subjected to combine bending and axial load and confinement effects should be accounted for. a unified theory for confinement of circular hollow sections is proposed herein, that can be extended to the case of solid and noncircular sections. the main aim of the model is to trace step-by-step the evolution of ...

introduction: the main objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of preceding pictorial stimulus on the emotional autonomic responses of the subsequent one. methods: to this effect, physiological signals, including electrocardiogram (ecg), pulse rate (pr), and galvanic skin response (gsr) were collected. as these signals have random and chaotic nature, nonlinear dynamics of t...

in this work we investigate the thermal entanglement between two-level atoms and photons in a nonlinear cavity. we consider intensity-dependent couplings and calculate the negativity, as a measure of atom-photonentanglement. the cavity is assumed to be at a temperature t, so that all number of photons, and at the same time, both atomic states, with definite probabilities, are present. we then d...

in this paper, we present a new iterative method with order of convergence eighth for solving nonlinear equations. periteration this method requires three evaluations of the function and one evaluation of its first derivative. a general error analysis providing the eighth order of convergence is given. several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and performance of the new ...
