The present investigation deals with the propagation of waves in the layer of an anisotropic fibre reinforced thermoelastic solid. Secular equations for symmetric and skew-symmetric modes of wave propagation in completely separate terms are derived. The amplitude of displacements and temperature distribution were also obtained. Finally, the numerical solution was carried out for Cobalt material...

A parallel solvers package of three solvers with a unified user interface is developed for solving a range of sparse symmetric complex linear systems arising from disc~tization of partial differential equations based on unstructu~d meshs using finite element, finite difference and finite volume analysis. Once the data interface is set up, the package constructs the sparse symmetric complex matr...

A new constantWD(X) is introduced into any real 2n-dimensional symmetric normed space X . By virtue of this constant, an upper bound of the geometric constant D(X), which is used to measure the difference between Birkhoff orthogonality and isosceles orthogonality, is obtained and further extended to an arbitrarym-dimensional symmetric normed linear space (m≥ 2). As an application, the result is...

Numerical investigation of BiCG and GMRES methods for solving non-symmetric linear equation systems with dominant skew-symmetric part has been presented. Numerical experiments were carried out for the linear system arising from a 5-point central difference approximation of the two dimensional convection-diffusion problem with different velocity coefficients and small parameter at the higher der...

Zang, T.A., On the rotation and skew-symmetric forms for incompressible flow simulations, Applied Numerical Mathematics 7 (1991) 27-40. A variety of numerical simulations of transition and turbulence in incompressible flow are presented to compare the commonly used rotation form with the skew-symmetric (and other) forms of the nonlinear terms. The results indicate that the rotation form is much...

We consider the extension of primal dual interior point methods for linear programming on symmetric cones, to a wider class of problems that includes approximate necessary optimality conditions for functions expressible as the difference of two convex functions of a special form. Our analysis applies the Jordan-algebraic approach to symmetric cones. As the basic method is local, we apply the id...

We study complex-valued symmetric matrices. A simple expression for the spectral norm of such matrices is obtained, by utilizing a unitarily congruent invariant form. Consequently, we provide a sharp criterion for identifying those symmetric matrices whose spectral norm does not exceed one: such strongly stable matrices are usually sought in connection with convergent difference approximations ...

A digraph D = (V,E) is a mod difference digraph if there exist a positive integer m and a labeling L : V → {1, 2, . . . , m − 1} such that (x, y) ∈ E if and only if L(y) − L(x) ≡ L(w)(mod m) for some w ∈ V. In this paper we prove that complete symmetric digraphs, unipaths and unicycles are mod difference digraphs.

We consider the problem of writing an arbitrary symmetric matrix as the difference of two positive semidefinite matrices. We start with simple ideas such as eigenvalue decomposition. Then, we develop a simple adaptation of the Cholesky that returns a difference-of-Cholesky representation of indefinite matrices. Heuristics that promote sparsity can be applied directly to this modification.
