In this paper, a numerical implementation of an expansion method is developed for solving Abel's integral equations of the first and second kind. The solution of such equations may demonstrate a singular behaviour in the neighbourhood of the initial point of the interval ofintegration. The suggested method is based on the use of Taylor series expansion to overcome the singularity which le...

Coherent states possess a regularized path integral and gives a natural relation between classical variables and quantum operators. Recent work by Klauder and Whiting has included extended variables, that can be thought of as gauge fields, into this formalism. In this paper, I consider the next step, and look at the roll of first class constraints. email: [email protected]

In this paper, the plates made of functionally graded material (FGM) with and without a crack are numerically simulated, employing the finite element method (FEM). The material property variations are defined to be fully continuous; therefore, the elements can be as small as required. For this purpose, variations of the material properties are applied in both the integration points and in the n...

The first passage time problem for Brownian motions hitting a barrier has been extensively studied in the literature. In particular, many incarnations of integral equations which link the density of the hitting time to the equation for the barrier itself have appeared. Most interestingly, Peskir (2002b) demonstrates that a master integral equation can be used to generate a countable number of n...

in this study the land surface in western half of hyper-arid lut desert, in south east of iran, which is covered by yardangs, a worldwide typical landform for aeolian erosion, were classified by self organizing maps (som) method. in the first step by using digital elevation model with 10 m resolution and matlab software, 22 morphometric parameters were calculated based on derivative of the surf...

Ayrshire general practitioner Charles McKerrow was appointed regimental medical officer (RMO) to the 10th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers in 1915. At this time, fundamental restructuring of the military medical service on the Western Front had two main effects: surgical capability was moved forward as close to the front as possible and specialist stretcher bearers were trained to apply emerg...
