Free boundary formulations for two extended Blasius problems

Equidistribution grids for two-parameter convection–diffusion boundary-value problems

In this article, we propose an adaptive grid based on mesh equidistribution principle for two-parameter convection-diffusion boundary value problems with continuous and discontinuous data. A numerical algorithm based on an upwind finite difference operator and an appropriate adaptive grid is constructed. Truncation errors are derived for both continuous and discontinuous problems. Parameter uni...

B-SPLINE METHOD FOR TWO-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

In this work the collocation method based on quartic B-spline is developed and applied to two-point boundary value problem in ordinary diferential equations. The error analysis and convergence of presented method is discussed. The method illustrated by two test examples which verify that the presented method is applicable and considerable accurate.

On Free Boundary Problems

Free Boundary Problems

Paradigmatic examples are the classical Stefan problem and more general models of phase transitions, where the free boundary is the moving interface between phases. Other examples come from problems in surface science, plastic molding and glass rolling, filtration through porous media, where free boundaries occur as fronts between saturated and unsaturated regions, and others from reaction-diff...

Polynomial Time Algorithms and Extended Formulations for Unit Commitment Problems

Recently increasing penetration of renewable energy generation brings challenges for power system operators to perform efficient power generation daily scheduling, due to the intermittent nature of the renewable generation and discrete decisions of each generation unit. Among all aspects to be considered, unit commitment polytope is fundamental and embedded in the models at different stages of ...
