Optimum design of structures is achieved while the design variables are continuous and discrete. To reduce the computational work involved in the optimization process, all the functions that are expensive to evaluate, are approximated. To approximate these functions, a semi quadratic function is employed. Only the diagonal terms of the Hessian matrix are used and these elements are estimated fr...

In the field of Geometric Function Theory, one can not deny the importance of analytic and univalent functions. The characteristics of these functions including their taylor series expansion, their coefficients in these representations as well as their associated functional inequalities have always attracted the researchers. In particular, Fekete-Szegö inequality is one of such vastly studied a...

in this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. then, we utilize them to solvedelay differential equations and time-delay system. the method is based upon ex...

Although prox-regular functions in general are nonconvex, they possess properties that one would expect to find in convex or lowerC2  functions. The class of prox-regular functions covers all convex functions, lower C2  functions and strongly amenable functions. At first, these functions have been identified in finite dimension using proximal subdifferential. Then, the definition of prox-regula...

in this paper, we consider a new class of analytic functions in the unit disk using polynomials of order alpha. we give some sufficient conditions for functions belonging to this class.
