This paper develops a constructive homotopy-based methodology for finding all or multiple dc operating points of nonlinear circuits and systems. Several sufficient conditions for the connectivity of all the solutions along a single homotopy path are derived. These conditions offer criteria to determine an initial guess from which all the solutions can be obtained by following the single homotop...

A flag complex can be defined as a simplicial complex whose simplices correspond to complete subgraphs of its 1-skeleton taken as a graph. In this article, by introducing the notion of s-dismantlability, we shall define the s-homotopy type of a graph and show in particular that two finite graphs have the same s-homotopy type if, and only if, the two flag complexes determined by these graphs hav...

in the present work, a hybrid of fourier transform and homotopy perturbation method is developed for solving the non-homogeneous partial differential equations with variable coefficients. the fourier transform is employed with combination of homotopy perturbation method (hpm), the so called fourier transform homotopy perturbation method (fthpm) to solve the partial differential equations. the c...

Homotopy classes of trajectories, arising due to the presence of obstacles, are defined as sets of trajectories that can be transformed into each other by gradual bending and stretching without colliding with obstacles. The problem of exploring/finding the different homotopy classes in an environment and the problem of finding least-cost paths restricted to a specific homotopy class (or not bel...

The number of steps of homotopy algorithms for solving systems of polynomials is usually bounded by the condition number of the homotopy path. A generic bound on the condition number of homotopy path between systems with integer coefficients will be given.

The homotopy type and homotopy groups of some spectra TAFGU of topological automorphic forms associated to a unitary similitude group GU of type (1, 1) are explicitly described in quasi-split cases. The spectrum TAFGU is shown to be closely related to the spectrum TMF in these cases, and homotopy groups of some of these spectra are explicitly computed.

We describe a category, the objects of which may be viewed as models for homotopy theories. We show that for such models, “functors between two homotopy theories form a homotopy theory”, or more precisely that the category of such models has a well-behaved internal hom-object.

In this paper, we present homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for solving the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and convergence study of homotopy perturbation method for nonlinear partial differential equation. We compared our solution with the exact solution and homotopy analysis method (HAM). The results show that the HPM is an appropriate method for solving nonlinear equation.

In this paper, we give a combinatorial description of the homotopy groups of a wedge of spheres. This result generalizes that of J. Wu on the homotopy groups of a wedge of 2-spheres. In particular, the higher homotopy groups of spheres are given as the centers of certain combinatorially described groups with special generators and relations.

Weak equivalences of simplicial presheaves are usually defined in terms of sheaves of homotopy groups. We give another characterization using relative-homotopy-liftings, and develop the tools necessary to prove that this agrees with the usual definition. From our lifting criteria we are able to prove some foundational (but new) results about the local homotopy theory of simplicial presheaves.
