the present study aims at indicating the existence and uniqueness result of system in extended colombeaualgebra. the caputo fractional derivative is used for solving the system of odes. in addition, rieszfractional derivative of colombeau generalized algebra is considered. the purpose of introducing rieszfractional derivative is regularizing it in colombeau sense. we also give a solution to a n...

Many methods have been developed for structural size and configuration optimization in which cross-sectional areas are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes two efficient structural optimization methods based on the harmony search (HS) heuristic algorithm that treat both discret...

potential fields are due to complex distribution of sources related to susceptibility and mass density variations for magnetic and gravity field respectively. in researching the lateral heterogeneous of different geological bodies, in particular their edge location potential field has some advantages. we mainly refer to linear features such as fault, folding axis, dyke, trend and border of the ...

We present and analyze some variants of Cauchy’s methods free from second derivative for obtaining simple roots of nonlinear equations. The convergence analysis of the methods is discussed. It is established that the methods have convergence order three. Per iteration the new methods require two function and one first derivative evaluations. Numerical examples show that the newmethods are compa...
