The Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) mixed collocation method is proposed in this paper, for solving elasticity problems. In the present MLPG approach, the mixed scheme is applied to interpolate the displacements and stresses independently, as in the MLPG finite volume method. To improve the efficiency, the local weak form is established at the nodal points, for the stresses, by using the ...

Fuzzy approach deals with the linguistic properties of elements such as beauty, coldness, hotness etc. Collocations are linguistically motivated. Decision of word combination for being collocation is a linguistic term as merely co-occurrence of word combinations does not signify the presence of collocation. Thus collocation extraction can be made possible by looking its linguistic aspect. In th...

A consistent text contains rich resources of in formation such as collocation patterns that can be used to resolve ambiguities within its sentences For example attachment ambigui ties in a sentence can be resolved by selecting a candidate attachment that matches attach ments found in other sentences in the same dis course Thus, discourse can be regarded as a valuable knowledge resource for sent...

This paper describes the use of WordNet in a new technique for collocation extraction. The approach is based on restrictions on the possible substitutions for synonyms within candidate phrases. Following a general discussion of collocations and their applications, current extraction methods are briefly described. This is followed by a detailed description of the new approach and results and eva...

The natural frequencies of non-uniform beams resting on elastic foundations are numerically obtained using the spline collocation procedure. The spline collocation method is a numerical approach effective at solving partial differential equations. The boundary conditions that accompanied the spline collocation procedure were used to convert the partial differential equations of non-uniform beam...

Spectral methods are a popular choice for constructing numerical approximations for smooth problems, as they can achieve geometric rates of convergence and have a relatively small memory footprint. In this paper, we introduce a general framework to convert a spectral-collocation method into a shootingbased variational integrator for Hamiltonian systems. We also compare the proposed spectral-col...

This paper is an introductory tutorial for numerical trajectory optimization with a focus on direct collocation methods. These methods are relatively simple to understand and effectively solve a wide variety of trajectory optimization problems. Throughout the paper we illustrate each new set of concepts by working through a sequence of four example problems. We start by using trapezoidal colloc...

This paper explores the application of the mesh-free radial basis function collocation method for solution of heat transfer and fluid flow problems. The solution procedure is represented for a Poisson reformulated general transport equation in terms of a-symmetric, symmetric and modified (double consideration of the boundary nodes) collocation approaches. In continuation, specifics of a primiti...

This paper presents a new strategy for multilingual collocation extraction which takes advantage of parallel corpora to learn bilingual word-embeddings. Monolingual collocation candidates are retrieved using Universal Dependencies, while the distributional models are then applied to search for equivalents of the elements of each collocation in the target languages. The proposed method extracts ...
