it has been revealed that the surface stress effect plays an important role in the mechanical behavior ofstructures (such as bending, buckling and vibration) when their dimensions are on the order ofnanometer. in addition, recent advances in nanotechnology have proposed several applications fornanoscale shells in different fields. hence, in the present article, within the framework of surfaceel...

Let V be a finite configuration of voter ideal points in the Euclidean plane. For given > 0 a point x ∈ < is in the -core if for all y 6= x, ||v−x|| ≤ ||v− y||+ for a simple majority (at least |V |/2) of voters v ∈ V . Let (x) denote the the least for which x is in the -core. Thus (x) = 0 if and only if x is a core point. The least for which the -core is nonempty is denoted ∗. This paper provid...

the first integral method is an efficient method for obtaining exact solutions of some nonlinear partial differential equations. this method can be applied to non integrable equations as well as to integrable ones. in this paper, the first integral method is used to construct exact solutions of the 2d ginzburg-landau equation.

based on symbolic manipulation program maple and using riccati equation mapping method several explicit exact solutions including kink, soliton-like, periodic and rational solutions are obtained for (2+1)-dimensional variable coefficient broer--kaup system in quite a straightforward manner. the known solutions of riccati equation are used to construct new solutions for variable coefficient broe...

differential transform method has been applied to solve many functional equations so far. in this article, we have used this method to solve wave-like equations. differential transform method is capable of reducing the size of computational work. exact solutions can also be achieved by the known forms of the series solutions. some examples are prepared to show theefficiency and simplicity of th...
