In this paper, we analyze the weight functions used in implicit moving least squares (IMLS) methods to construct implicit surfaces that interpolate or approximate polygon soup. We found that one method that presented an analytic solution to the integrated moving least squares method has issues with degeneracies because they changed the weight functions to decrease too slowly. We derive bounds f...

Three proposed simplex chirality measures—intersection, union, and inflation—are explored experimentally in and . The intersection measure in (solved analytically by Buda and Mislow in 1991) serves as a control case. We attempt to discover an approximate lower-bound on the degree of chirality (i.e. the “most chiral” simplex) and present our findings. While an analytic solution in for these meas...

This paper presents a feedback controller designing approach for a large class of finite-time optimal control problems. This approach involves a piecewise truncated variational iteration method (PTVIM) for solving the nonlinear Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation. By using the finite iterations of PTVIM, an analytic approximate solution for value function and suboptimal feedback control law is obt...

Most of the phenomena of various fields of applied sciences are nonlinear problems. Recently, various types of analytical approximate solution techniques were introduced and successfully applied to the nonlinear differential equations. One of the aforementioned techniques is the Homotopy analysis method (HAM). In this study, we applied HAM to find critical buckling load of a column under end lo...

In this article, we demonstrate how one can improve the numerical solution of singularly perturbed problems involving multiple boundary layers by using a combination of analytic and numerical tools. Incorporating the structures of boundary layers into finite element spaces can improve the accuracy of approximate solutions and result in significant simplifications. We discuss here convection-dif...

in this paper, an analytical method called the parametric iteration method (pim) is presented for solving the second-order singular ivps of lane-emden type, and its local convergence is discussed. since it is often useful to have an approximate analytical solution to describe the lane-emden type equa- tions, especially for ones where the closed-form solutions do not exist at all, therefore, an ...

The objective of this paper is to present the hybrid variational iteration method. The proposed algorithm is based on the combination of variational iteration and shooting methods. In the proposed algorithm the entire domain is divided into subintervals to establish the accuracy and convergence of the approximate solution. It is found that in each subinterval a three term approximate solution u...

An analytic technique, the homotopy analysis method (HAM), is applied to obtain the approximate analytical solutions of fourth-order integro-differential equations. The homotopy analysis method (HAM) is one of the most effective method to obtain the exact and approximate solution and provides us with a new way to obtain series solutions of such problems. HAM contains the auxiliary parameter ħ, ...
