Comparison is a frequent task when analyzing data. In visualization, comparison tasks are naturally carried out based on a visual representation of the data. Visual comparison allows us to gain insight where plain computations of numerical differences alone cannot grasp the complex interdependencies in the data. Yet, visual comparison also comes at a cost. There are costs when interpreting the ...

I formulate a stylized Glosten-Milgrom model of financial market trading in which people are allowed to time their trading decision. The focus of the analysis is to understand people’s timing behavior and how it affects bidand offer-prices and volume. Assuming heterogeneous quality of information, not all informed traders choose to trade immediately but some chose to delay, although they expect...

in this paper , the quintic b-spline collocation scheme is employed to approximate numerical solution of the kdv-like rosenau equation . this scheme is based on the crank-nicolson formulation for time integration and quintic b-spline functions for space integration . the unconditional stability of the present method is proved using von- neumann approach . since we do not know the exact solution...

in this paper, a new implicit nonstandard finite difference scheme for conservation laws, which preserving the property of tvd (total variation diminishing) of the solution, is proposed. this scheme is derived by using nonlocal approximation for nonlinear terms of partial differential equation. schemes preserving the essential physical property of tvd are of great importance in practice. such s...

We propose efficient and accurate numerical methods for computing the ground-state solution of spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates subjected to a uniform magnetic field. The key idea in designing the numerical method is based on the normalized gradient flow with the introduction of a third normalization condition, together with two physical constraints on the conservation of total mass and conserv...

When comparing digits of different physical sizes, numerical and physical size interact. For example, in a numerical comparison task, people are faster to compare two digits when their numerical size (the relevant dimension) and physical size (the irrelevant dimension) are congruent than when they are incongruent. Two main accounts have been put forward to explain this size congruity effect. Ac...

In this paper, numerical simulation of FRP composite cylinder tubes progressive crushing processes is conducted using LS-Dyna. Details on the numerical modeling strategy are given and discussed. It is found that triggers introduced in the numerical simulation can effectively model the bevel trigger at the end of the tubular specimens. It is also found that two-layer finite element model based o...

A numerical investigation of entropy generation in laminar forced convection of gas flow over a backward facing step in a horizontal duct under bleeding condition is presented. For calculation of entropy generation from the second law of thermodynamics in a forced convection flow, the velocity and temperature distributions are primary needed. For this purpose, the three-dimensional Cartesian co...
