Uncertainty propagation in complex engineering systems with fuzzy variables constitutes a significant challenge. This paper proposes a Polynomial Chaos type spectral approach based on orthogonal function expansion. A fuzzy variable is represented as a set of interval variables via the membership function. The interval variables are further transformed into the standard interval [−1,1]. Smooth n...

in this paper, we investigate some properties of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of boundary value problems with separated boundary conditions. also, we obtain formal series solutions for some partial differential equations associated with the second order differential equation, and study necessary and sufficient conditions for the negative and positive eigenvalues of the boundary value problem....

The goal of this paper is to estimate the size of the first eigenfunction u uniformly for all convex domains. In particular, we will locate the place where u achieves its maximum to within a distance comparable to the inradius, uniformly for arbitrarily large diameter. In addition, we will estimate the location of other level sets of u by showing that u is well-approximated by the first eigenfu...

This study is on the fuzzy eigenvalues and fuzzy eigenfunctions of the Sturm-Liouville fuzzy problem with fuzzy eigenvalue parameter. We find fuzzy eigenvalues and fuzzy eigenfunctions of the problem under the approach of Hukuhara differentiability. We solve an example. We draw the graphics of eigenfunctions. We show that eigenfunctions are valid fuzzy functions or not.

‎Radial basis functions (RBFs) are a powerful tool for approximating the solution of high-dimensional problems‎. ‎They are often referred to as a meshfree method and can be spectrally accurate‎. ‎In this paper, we analyze a new stable method for evaluating Gaussian radial basis function interpolants based on the eigenfunction expansion‎. ‎We develop our approach in two-dimensional spaces for so...

0885–3010/$25.00 © 2014 IEEE Abstract—Across a range of spectral estimation problems and beam focusing problems, it is necessary to constrain the properties of a function and its Fourier transform. In many cases, compact functions in both domains are desired, within the theoretical bounds of the uncertainty principle. Recently, a hyperbolic sine function of modified argument and power was found...

the series on the right of (3) being called the Fourier Eigenfunction Series and a. the Fourier Coefficients of f(x, y). I have studied elsewhere' the problem of convergence and summability of a Fourier Eigenfunction Series. In this note I am interested in announcing a result on uniqueness of eigenfunction expansion. Actually, we have thfe following, THEOREM. Let us suppose we are given an eige...
