We develop an approximate analytical solution for the shape of a nonaxisymmetric sessile drop using regular perturbation methods and ignoring gravity. We assume that the pinned, contorted triple-line shape is known and is a small perturbation of the circular footprint of a spherical cap. We obtain an analytical solution using regular perturbation methods that we validate by comparing to the num...

Effects of the uniform transverse magnetic field on the transient free convective flows of a nanofluid with generalized thermal transport between two vertical parallel plates have been analyzed. The fluid temperature is described by a time-fractional differential equation with Caputo derivatives. Closed form of the temperature field is obtained by using the Laplace transform and fractional deri...

in this paper, we apply the laplace decomposition method to obtain a series solutions of the burgers-huxley and burgers-fisher equations. the technique is based on the application of laplace transform to nonlinear partial differential equations. the method does not need linearization, weak nonlinearity assumptions or perturbation theory and the nonlinear terms can be easily handled by using the...

We consider the standard GI/G/1 queue with unlimited waiting room and the first-in first-out service discipline. We investigate the steady-state waiting-time tail probabilities P(W > x) when the service-time distribution has a long-tail distribution, i.e., when the service-time distribution fails to have a finite moment generating function. We have developed algorithms for computing the waiting...

Recent work in the literature has studied fourth-order elliptic operators on manifolds with boundary. This paper proves that, in the case of the squared Laplace operator, the boundary conditions which require that the eigenfunctions and their normal derivative should vanish at the boundary lead to self-adjointness of the boundary-value problem. On studying, for simplicity, the squared Laplace o...

We investigate some simple finite element discretizations for the axisymmetric Laplace equation and the azimuthal component of the axisymmetric Maxwell equations as well as multigrid algorithms for these discretizations. Our analysis is targeted at simple model problems and our main result is that the standard V-cycle with point smoothing converges at a rate independent of the number of unknown...

Packet switching networks lead mostly to M/GI/1 queue models. In this paper, computing methods are designed in order to get quickly approximate values for response time of these networks. Laplace transform is a powerful tool to study such queuing systems. But inversion of the Laplace transform on the real line is well known to be an illconditioned problem and usual numerical methods of inversio...
