In this thesis, we are concerned with three classes of non-linear problems that appear naturally in various fields of science, engineering and economics. In order to cover many different applications, we study problems in the calculus of variation (Chapter 3), partial differential equations (Chapter 4) as well as non-linear programming problems (Chapter 5). As an example of possible application...

let $d$ be a digraph with skew-adjacency matrix $s(d)$. then the skew energyof $d$ is defined to be the sum of the norms of all eigenvalues of $s(d)$. denote by$mathcal{o}_n$ the class of digraphs on order $n$ with no even cycles, and by$mathcal{o}_{n,m}$ the class of digraphs in $mathcal{o}_n$ with $m$ arcs.in this paper, we first give the minimal skew energy digraphs in$mathcal{o}_n$ and $mat...

The recursive computation of the interlace polynomial introduced by Arratia, Bollobás and Sorkin is defined in terms of a new pivoting operation on undirected simple graphs. In this paper, we interpret the new pivoting operation on graphs in terms of standard pivoting (on matrices). Specifically, we show that, up to swapping vertex labels, Arratia et al.’s pivoting operation on a graph is equiv...

let g = (v, e) be a simple graph. hosoya polynomial of g isd(u,v)h(g, x) = {u,v}v(g)x , where, d(u ,v) denotes the distance between vertices uand v. as is the case with other graph polynomials, such as chromatic, independence anddomination polynomial, it is natural to study the roots of hosoya polynomial of a graph. inthis paper we study the roots of hosoya polynomials of some specific graphs.

In this paper, a systematic procedure for synthesizing two-terminal devices with polynomial non-linearity is proposed. A two-terminal, or one-port, device with an arbitrary polynomial non-linearity can be designed using the proposed procedure in a step-by-step systematic manner. A variety of drivingpoint characteristics of two-terminal devices with synthesized polynomial non-linearity, both num...

In this paper, the Bagley-Torvik equation is constructed. A model approach based on non-polynomial numerical methods spline interpolation is developed to solve some problems. We show that the approximate solutions of such problems obtained by the numerical algorithm developed using non-polynomial spline interpolation functions are better than those produced by other numerical methods. The aim o...
