This work reviews some current engineering applications of geometric algebra and observes the potential of this mathematical language to become a basis for a wide range of computational engineering applications. Geometric algebra unifies many other mathematical concepts like quaternions and projective geometry and is able to easily deal with geometric objects, operations and transformations. Fo...

The framework of incompressible nonlinear hyperelasticity and viscoelasticity is applied to the derivation of one-dimensional models of nonlinear wave propagation in fiber-reinforced elastic solids. Equivalence transformations are used to simplify the resulting wave equations and to reduce the number of parameters. Local conservation laws and global conserved quantities of the models are system...

In this paper, we introduce $p$-semilinear transformations for linear algebras over a field ${bf F}$ of positive characteristic $p$, discuss initially the elementary properties of $p$-semilinear transformations, make use of it to give some characterizations of linear algebras over a field ${bf F}$ of positive characteristic $p$. Moreover, we find a one-to-one correspondence between $p$-semiline...

This paper contains a computational analysis and comparison of various representations of a general rigid body spatial screw displacement. Point transformations and line transformations are treated separately. In the context of point transformations, only a brief summary of the known techniques (i.e., homogeneous transforms and quaternion/vector pairs) and their computational behavior is given....

Conformal transformations are of much interest to modelers of physical phenomena as they provide many attractive mathematical properties such as locally preserving the isotropy of scales, invariance of the structure of the operators such as Laplacian under the transformation. It is known to atmosphere and ocean modelers as to generate coordinate transformations on the sphere using the analytic ...

‎in this article we discuss examples of fractal $omega$-operads‎. ‎thus we show that there is an $omega$-operadic approach to explain existence of‎ ‎the globular set of globular setsfootnote{globular sets are also called $omega$-graphs by the french school.}‎, ‎the reflexive globular set of reflexive globular sets‎, ‎the $omega$-magma of $omega$-magmas‎, ‎and also the reflexive $omega$-magma of...

In his paper mentioned in the title, which appears in the same issue of this journal, Mehdi Radjabalipour derives the cyclic decomposition of an algebraic linear transformation. A more general structure theory for linear transformations appears in Irving Kaplansky's lovely 1954 book on infinite abelian groups. We present a translation of Kaplansky's results for abelian groups into the terminolo...

Despite the effort put into the detection of academic plagiarism, it continues to be a ubiquitous problem spanning all disciplines. Various tools have been developed to assist human inspectors by automatically identifying suspicious documents. However, to our knowledge currently none of these tools use mathematical content for their analysis. This is problematic, because mathematical content po...

This paper addresses the critical issue of the development of intelligent or assisting tools for the scientist who is working in the initial problem formulation and mathematical model representation stage of research. In particular, examples of that representation in fluid dynamics and instability theory are discussed. The creation of a mathematical model that is ready for application of certai...
