The purpose of this paper is to suggest the construction and study properties of semi-infinite induction, which relates to semi-infinite cohomology the same way induction relates to homology and coinduction to cohomology. We prove a version of the Shapiro Lemma, showing that the semi-infinite cohomology of a module is isomorphic to that of the semi-infinitely induced module. A practical outcome...

in this paper, two-dimensional heat transfer in a semi-infinite wall with fins of rectangular profile has been investigated. the conduction equations of the wall and fins are solved simultaneously by a numerical method. the principal parameters of the problem are the fin spacing, length, and fin-to-wall conductivity ratio. in this investigation, the effect of these parameters on two-dimensional...

Many numerical methods have been developed for the solution of Poisson and Laplace equations such as finite-difference methods, finite-element methods, boundary-element methods, etc. Sinc numerical methods developed recently by Stenger and co-workers excel over other methods for problems involving singularities, infinite or semi-infinite domains as well as boundary layer behaviors. In this pape...

The paper concerns the study of new classes of nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problems of the so-called infinite programming that are generally defined on infinite-dimensional spaces of decision variables and contain infinitely many of equality and inequality constraints with arbitrary (may not be compact) index sets. These problems reduce to semi-infinite programs in the case of finite-d...

We study the ground state properties of a system of N harmonically trapped bosons of mass m interacting with two-body contact interactions, from small to large scattering lengths. This is accomplished in a hyperspherical coordinate system that is flexible enough to describe both the overall scale of the gas and two-body correlations. By adapting the lowest-order constrained variational (LOCV) m...

The existence of a superconducting branch bifurcating from the normal state is proved in semi-infinite strips. It is proved that the critical magnetic field at which bifurcation takes place, or the onset field, for a semi-infinite strip is greater than the onset field for an infinite strip with the same width. In addition we find the loci of the vortices far away from the corners and show conve...

We study the maximum temperature rise induced by a rotating or dithering Gaussian laser beam on a two-layer body. First, we derive semi-analytical solutions by solving the transient threedimensional heat equation in a semi-infinite domain with insulating surface. Second, we provide numerical solutions for a two-layer structure in a finite domain. Our results show that the maximum temperature ri...

This paper concerns applications of advanced techniques of variational analysis and generalized differentiation to problems of semi-infinite and infinite programming with feasible solution sets defined by parameterized systems of infinitely many linear inequalities of the type intensively studied in the preceding development [5) from our viewpoint of robust Lipschitzian stability. We present me...

By combining two pieces of bi-directional Wronskian solutions, molecule solutions in Wronskian form are presented for the finite, semi-infinite and infinite bilinear 2D Toda molecule equations. In the cases of finite and semi-infinite lattices, separated-variable boundary conditions are imposed. The Jacobi identities for determinants are the key tool employed in the solution formulations.
