In this paper we consider the problem of estimating the state, and identifying parameters of a diffusion process, when the only available information is the crossing times of a boundary. By using a partial differential equation approach related with the computation of boundary–crossing probabilities, we derive finite dimensional reconstructors (filters) for the state and Feynman Kac type functi...

the effect of boundary conditions on the solution of the inverse problem of identifying the geometry and location of a cavity inside an elastic solid body using displacement measurements obtained from a tension test is investigated. the boundary elements method (bem) coupled with the genetic algorithm (ga) and the conjugate gradient method (cgm) are implemented in this identification problem. a...

finite and boundary element methods have been used by many authors to solve mathematicalphysics problems. however, the coupling of these two methods happens to be more efficient as it combinestheir merits. in this paper, the mathematical analysis of the coupling of finite and boundary element methodsfor the helmholtz equation is presented.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of boundary conditions on the accuracy and stability of the numerical solution of fluid flows in the context of single relaxation time Lattice Boltzmann method (SRT-LBM). The fluid flows are simulated using regularized, no-slip, Zou-He and bounce back boundary conditions for straight surfaces in a lid driven cavity and the two-dimensional flow ...

wetlands as water resources have a special place in the semi-arid plateau of iran and boundary determination is necessary for their effective conservation and conflict resolution among stakeholders that are dependent on these resources. determination of the wetland boundaries should be commensurate with environmental features affecting on it which normally extend beyond water extent. ecological...

It is a scientist’s mission to try to remain unbiased. However, certain factors play a role in scientific analyses that are not controlled by conscious thought. These factors are potentially very important in areas of science where interpretations are based on a scientist’s ability to identify patterns or structures. One such area is the micromorphology of glacial sediments. In this paper we in...
