The quasi-linear approximation for electromagnetic forward modeling is based on the assumption that the anomalous electrical field within an inhomogeneous do­ main is linearly proportional to the background (nor ­ mal) field through an electrical reflectivity tensor t In the original formulation of the quasi-linear approxima­ tion, 1 was determined by solving a minimization prob ­ lem based on ...

A method is presented for solving the momentum-space Schrödinger equation with a linear potential. The Lande-subtracted momentum-space integral equation can be transformed into a matrix equation by the Nystrom method. The method produces only approximate eigenvalues in the cases of singular potentials such as the linear potential. The eigenvalues generated by the Nystrom method can be improved ...

The present paper represents a continuation of paper [4], in which the existence and uniqueness problems for a general Ito–Volterra integrodifferential equation are investigated by using the concept of a non-linear random integral contractor. Since the Lipschitz condition and the random integral contractor for the coefficients of the considered equation, in general, cannot be compared, the noti...

Over the past two decades meshless methods have attracted much attention owing to their advantages in adaptivity, higher degree of solution field continuity, and capability to handle moving boundary and changing geometry. In this work, a meshless integral method based on the regularized boundary integral equation has been developed and applied to two-dimensional linear elasticity and elastoplas...

We consider a nonhomogeneous linear delay difference equation with continuous variable and establish an asymptotic result for the solutions. Our result is obtained by the use of a positive root with an appropriate property of the so-called characteristic equation of the corresponding homogeneous linear (autonomous) delay difference equation. More precisely, we show that, for any solution, the l...

A novel method for determining an approximate solution to an integral equation with fixed singularity is presented. This integral equation is encountered in solving a cruciform crack. On the basis of Taylor’s series for the unknown function, the integral equation can be transformed to a system of linear equations for the unknown and its derivatives when neglecting a sufficiently small quantity....

The payoffs of the barrier options depend on the time path of the underlying price as opposed to just the price at expiry. It implies that both the boundary conditions and the initial condition are imposed on the Black-Scholes partial differential equation. Therefore, the valuation of the barrier options is a boundary value problem. Since the Black-Scholes equation can be converted into a homog...

We derive bridges from general multidimensional linear non time-homogeneous processes using only the transition densities of the original process giving their integral representations (in terms of a standard Wiener process) and so-called anticipative representations. We derive a stochastic differential equation satisfied by the integral representation and we prove a usual conditioning property ...

In this paper, Bernstein piecewise polynomials are used to solve the integral equations numerically. A matrix formulation is given for a non-singular linear Fredholm Integral Equation by the technique of Galerkin method. In the Galerkin method, the Bernstein polynomials are exploited as the linear combination in the approximations as basis functions. Examples are considered to verify the effect...
