The results in this paper are motivated by two analogies. First, m-harmonic functions in Rn are extensions of the univariate algebraic polynomials of odd degree 2m−1. Second, Gauss’ and Pizzetti’s mean value formulae are natural multivariate analogues of the rectangular and Taylor’s quadrature formulae, respectively. This point of view suggests that some theorems concerning quadrature rules cou...

Title of dissertation: OPTIMAL APPROXIMATION SPACES FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS WITH ROUGH COEFFICIENTS Qiaoluan Li, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Dissertation directed by: Professor John E. Osborn Department of Mathematics The finite element method has been widely used to solve partial differential equations by both engineers and mathematicians for the last several decades. This is due to its well-known...

The unsteady pulsatile flow of blood through porous medium in an artery has been studied under the influence of periodic body acceleration and slip condition by considering blood as incompressible Newtonian electrically conducting fluid in the presence of magnetic field. In this paper, a new technique of differential quadrature method is introduced to find numerical solution of nonlinear partia...

‎in this paper, we formulate the fourth order sturm-liouville problem (fslp) as a lie group matrix differential equation. by solving this ma- trix differential equation by lie group magnus expansion, we compute the eigenvalues of the fslp. the magnus expansion is an infinite series of multiple integrals of lie brackets. the approximation is, in fact, the truncation of magnus expansion and a gauss...

adomian decomposition method has been applied to solve many functional equations so far. in this article, we have used this method to solve the fuzzy differential equation under generalized differentiability. we interpret a fuzzy differential equation by using the strongly generalized differentiability. also one concrete application for ordinary fuzzy differential equation with fuzzy input data...

Convolution equations for time and space-time problems have many important applications, e.g., for the modelling of wave or heat propagation via ordinary and partial differential equations as well as for the corresponding integral equation formulations. For their discretization, the convolution quadrature (CQ) has been developed since the late 1980’s and is now one of the most popular method in...

in present study, thermo-elastic buckling analysis of multi-layer orthotropic annular/circular graphene sheets is investigated based on eringen’s theory. the moderately thick and also thick nano-plates are considered. using the non-local first and third order shear deformation theories, the governing equations are derived. the van der waals interaction between the layers is simulated for multi-...

in this paper, conjugate heat transfer of magneto hydrodynamic mixed convection of nanofluid about a vertical slender hollow cylinder embedded in a porous medium with high porosity have been numerically studied. the forchheimer’s modification of darcy’s law was used in representing the nanofluid motion inside the porous media. the governing boundary layer equations were transformed to non-dimen...
