the purpose of this letter is to revisit the nonlinear reaction-diusion modelin porous catalysts when reaction term is fractional function of the concen-tration distribution of the reactant. this model, which originates also in uidand solute transport in soft tissues and microvessels, has been recently givenanalytical solution in terms of taylors series for dierent family of reactionterms. we...

Using finite element nonlinear analysis, the dynamic soil pressure on perimeter retainingwalls of structures is investigated. Nonlinear Drucker Prager failure criterion is used to model the soilbehavior in the near field. The far field soil and the middle structure are assumed to behave as linearelastic materials. The soil-wall interface behavior is modeled incorporating nonlinear interfaceelem...

One of the difficulties of Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) is the problem of deciency discriminationamong efficient Decision Making Units(DMUs) and hence, yielding large number of DMUs as efficientones. The main purpose of this paper is to overcome this inability. One of the methods for rankingefficient DMUs is minimizing the Coefficient of Variation (CV) for inputs-outputs weights. In this pape...

in this paper, stabilization conditions and controller design for a class of nonlinear systems are proposed. the proposed method is based on the nonlinear feedback, quadratic lyapunov function and heuristic slack matrices definition. these slack matrices in null products are derived using the properties of the system dynamics. based on the lyapunov stability theorem and sum of squares (sos) dec...
