In this work, we study the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a viscous nanofluid over a nonlinearly stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation, included in the energy equation, and variable wall temperature. A similarity transformation was used to transform the governing partial differential equations to a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. An efficient nume...

Research has shown that human beings are able to perform various associations, whether linearly separable or nonlinearly separable, with little effort. While bidirectional associative memory (BAM) models show great promise in modeling various types of associations the humans perform, they still have difficulties with solving various types of nonlinearly separable problems. The present study int...

Borrowing the dynamical systems perspective, two studies aimed to examine the potential properties of nonlinearity and history dependence of psychological momentum. Male regional-level table tennis players were asked to empathize with players in a very important contest by watching two video scenarios of a table tennis game in two separate sessions. The videos presented two inverted scenarios i...

This paper surveys an area of nonlinear functional analysis and its applications. The main application is to the existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions of a possible mathematical models of nonlinearly supported bending beams, and their possible application to nonlinear behavior as observed in large-amplitude flexings in suspension bridges. A second area, periodic flexings in a floatin...

This study investigated changes in performance and sex difference in top performers for ultra-triathlon races held between 1978 and 2013 from Ironman (3.8 km swim, 180 km cycle, and 42 km run) to double deca iron ultra-triathlon distance (76 km swim, 3,600 km cycle, and 844 km run). The fastest men ever were faster than the fastest women ever for split and overall race times, with the exception...

In this paper, we investigate the global exponential synchronization in complex networks of nonlinearly coupled dynamical systems with an asymmetric outer-coupling matrix. Employing the Lyapunov function approach with some graph theory techniques, we improve the so-called connection graph stability method for the synchronization analysis, that was originally developed by Belykh et al. for symme...
