This paper is concerned with the two new boundary-type radial basis function collocation schemes, boundary knot method (BKM) and boundary particle method (BPM). The BKM is developed based on the dual reciprocity theorem, while the BKM employs the multiple reciprocity technique. Unlike the method of fundamental solution, the two methods use the non-singular general solution instead of singular f...

in this paper a method is presented in details to solve a nonlinear partial differential equation which has many applications in engineering fields. the boundary condition is mixed to be able to define the value of function on its variation on the boundary. examples are given to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method.

long-throated flumes are measurement structures often used in water and wastewater systems to determine the flow discharge. the head-discharge relationship of long-throated flumes is traditionally determined following the critical flow theory and the boundary layer concept. after a review of the traditional approach and an analysis of the approximate assumptions of the boundary layer approach, ...

in this paper, we investigate a singular perturbation problem including a fourth order o.d.e. with general linear boundary conditions. firstly, we obtain the necessary conditions of solution of o.d.e. by making use of fundamental solution, then by compatibility of these conditions with boundary conditions, we determine that, for given perturbation problem, whether boundary layer is formed or not.

we consider a mixed boundary value problem for a quarter-plane with a robin condition on one edge. we have developed two procedures, one based on the advanced theory of dual integral equations and the other, in our opinion simpler technique, relying on conformal mapping. both of the procedures are of interest, because the former may be easier to adapt to other boundary value problems.

by using the trigonometric uniform splines of order 3 with a real tension factor, a numericalmethod is developed for solving a linear second order boundary value problems (2vbp) withdirichlet, neumann and cauchy types boundary conditions. the moment at the knots isapproximated by central finite-difference method. the order of convergence of the methodand the theory is illustrated by solving tes...

calcareous nannofossils in boundary of tirgan and sarcheshmeh formations at qalezo section have been studied. this section is situated in the west of kopet-dagh basin. in this study 35 nannoplankton species of 17 genera were identified. according to the first occurrence of index species and fossil assemblages two calcareous nannofossil biozones (cc7-cc8) of sissingh (1997) have been recognized....

This article first provides an overview of important concepts in the field of information fusion, followed by a review of milestones in audio-visual person identification and verification. Several recent adaptive and non-adaptive techniques for reaching the verification decision (i.e., to accept or reject the claimant), based on speech and face information, are then evaluated in clean and noisy...

We calculate radiative corrections to the Casimir effect for the massive complex scalar field with the λφ4 self-interaction in d + 1 dimensions. We consider the field submitted to four types of boundary conditions on two parallel planes, namely: (i) quasi-periodic boundary conditions, which interpolates continuously periodic and anti-periodic ones, (ii) Dirichlet conditions on both planes, (iii...
