‎‎In this paper, Solvability nonlinear Volterra integral equations with general vanishing delays is stated. So far sinc methods for approximating the solutions of Volterra integral equations have received considerable attention mainly due to their high accuracy. These approximations converge rapidly to the exact solutions as number sinc points increases. Here the numerical solution of nonlinear...

Global optimization of mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems containing signomial terms is in many cases a difficult task, and many different approaches to solve these problems have been devised. In Westerlund (2005) a method where a relaxed convex relaxation of the original problem is obtained by approximating single-variable transformations with piecewise linear functions (PLFs...

The phase transition of crystalline ordering is a general phenomenon, but its evolution in space and time requires microscopic probes for visualization. Here we report direct imaging of the transformation of amorphous titanium dioxide nanofilm, from the liquid state, passing through the nucleation step and finally to the ordered crystal phase. Single-pulse transient diffraction profiles at diff...

Sinc-Galerkin method based upon double exponential transformation for solving Troesch's problem was given in this study. Properties of the Sinc-Galerkin approach were utilized to reduce the solution of nonlinear two-point boundary value problem to same nonlinear algebraic equations, also, the matrix form of the nonlinear algebraic equations was obtained.The error bound of the method was found. ...

Based on the differential transformation method, a semi-analytical solution is developed for free vibration and modal stress analyses of variable thickness two-directional functionally graded circular plates with restrained edges, resting on elastic foundations. Variations of the material and geometry parameters are monitored by five distinct exponential functions. The presented non-dimensional...

Auxiliary matrix exponential method is used to derive simple and numerically efficient general expressions for the following, historically rather cumbersome, and hard to compute, theoretical methods: (1) average Hamiltonian theory following interaction representation transformations; (2) Bloch-Redfield-Wangsness theory of nuclear and electron relaxation; (3) gradient ascent pulse engineering ve...

Two prior approaches to size processing are discussed in this paper. The first approach is based on measurements of mental size transformations, the second on measurements of thresholds for size and separation. We first analyze these prior approaches and point out differences among prior models and similarities among prior results. This analysis led to new psychophysical experiments that tested...

We present a simple derivation of the supersymmetric one-loop effective action of SU(2) Matrix theory by expressing it in a compact exponential form whose invariance under supersymmetry transformations is obvious. This result clarifies the one-loop exactness of the leading (v) interactions and the absence of nonperturbative corrections.
