A General Boundary-Integral Formulation for Zoned Three-Dimensional Media

A new boundary-integral formulation is proposed to analyze the heat transfer in zoned three-dimensional geometries. The proposed formulation couples the boundary formula, the gradient of the boundary formula, and the exterior formula. An advantage of this formulation over the traditional methods is that any linear condition at the interface between subdomains may be incorporated into the formul...

Thermoelastic Interaction in a Three-Dimensional Layered Sandwich Structure

The present article investigates the thermoelastic interaction in a three-dimensional homogeneous and isotropic sandwich structure using the dual-phase-lag (DPL) model of generalized thermoelasticity. The incorporated resulting non-dimensional coupled equations are applied to a specific problem in which a sandwich layer of unidentical homogeneous and isotropic substances is subjected to time-de...

Formulation of the learning problem, Part I

Now that we have seen an informal statement of the learning problem, as well as acquired some technical tools in the form of concentration inequalities, we can proceed to define the learning problem formally. Recall that the basic goal is to be able to predict some random variable Y of interest from a correlated random observation X , where the predictor is to be constructed on the basis of n i...

Formulation of the learning problem , Part 2

• The assumption that the target concept C∗ belongs to C (or that the target function f ∗ belongs to F ) means that we are trying to fit a hypothesis to data, which are a priori known to have been generated by some member of the model class defined by C (or by F ). However, in general we may not want to (or be able to) assume much about the data generation process, and instead would like to fin...
