We consider the problem of enumerating spanning trees on lattices. Closed-form expressions are obtained for the spanning tree generating function for a hypercubic lattice of size N1×N2×· · ·×Nd in d dimensions under free, periodic, and a combination of free and periodic boundary conditions. Results are also obtained for a simple quartic net embedded on two non-orientable surfaces, a Möbius stri...

The isogeometric analysis is increasingly used in various engineering problems. It is based on Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) basis function applied for the solution field approximation and the geometry description. One of the major concerns with this method is finding an efficient approach to impose essential boundary conditions, especially for inhomogeneous boundaries. The main contri...

The differentiation matrix for a Daubechies-based wavelet basis defined on an interval will be constructed. It will be shown that the differentiation matrix based on the currently available boundary constructions does not maintain the superconvergence encountered under periodic boundary conditions.

We study an initial-boundary-value problem of a nonlinear Korteweg-de Vries equation posed on a finite interval (0, 2π). The whole system has Dirichlet boundary condition at the left end-point, and both of Dirichlet and Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions at the right end-point. It is known that the origin is not asymptotically stable for the linearized system around the origin. We prove th...

The paper is concerned with linear thermoelastic plate equations in a domain Ω: utt +∆u+∆θ = 0 and θt −∆θ −∆ut = 0 in Ω× (0,∞), subject to Dirichlet boundary condition: u|Γ = Dνu|Γ = θ|Γ = 0 and initial condition: (u, ut, θ)|t=0 = (u0, v0, θ0) ∈W 2 p,D(Ω)×Lp×Lp. Here, Ω is a bounded or exterior domain in R (n ≥ 2). We assume that the boundary Γ of Ω is a C hypersurface and we define W 2 p,D by ...

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...

In this paper, vibration analysis of multiple-stepped Bernoulli-Euler and Timoshenko beams carrying point masses is presented analytically for various boundary conditions. Each attached element is considered to have both translational and rotational inertias. The method of solution is “transfer matrix method” which is based on the changes in the vibration modes at the vicinity of any discontinu...
