In this paper, the localized TM surface waves of a nonlinear self-focusingleft-handed slab sandwiched between a uniform medium and a one-dimensionalphotonic crystal (1D PC) is analytically investigated. Our method is based on the firstintegral of the nonlinear Maxwell's equations. For the TM surface waves, the presenceof two electric field components makes the analysis difficult. Therefore, we ...

In this paper, the reorganization of the denominator of the discrete derivative and nonlocal approximation of nonlinear terms are used in the design of nonstandard finite difference schemes (NSFDs). Numerical examples confirming then efficiency of schemes, for some differential equations are provided. In order to illustrate the accuracy of the new NSFDs, the numerical results are compared with ...

The stabilization and robustification of a time-delay system is the topic of this paper. More precisely, we want to minimize theH2 norm of the transfer function corresponding to this class of linear time-invariant input-output systems with fixed time delays in the states. Due to the presence of the delays, the transfer function is a nonrational, nonlinear function, and the classical procedure w...

We present a novel online learning paradigm for nonlinear function estimation based on iterative orthogonal projections in an L space reflecting the stochastic property of input signals. An online algorithm is built upon the fact that any finite dimensional subspace has a reproducing kernel, which is given in terms of the Gram matrix of its basis. The basis used in the present study involves mu...

In this work, we will compare two approximation method based on hybrid Legendre andBlock-Pulse functions and a computational method for solving nonlinear Fredholm-Volterraintegral equations of the second kind which is based on replacement of the unknown functionby truncated series of well known Block-Pulse functions (BPfs) expansion

Orthonormal ridgelets are a specialized set of angularly-integrated ridge functions which make up an orthonormal basis for L2(R). In this paper we explore the relationship between orthonormal ridgelets and true ridge functions r(x1 cos θ + x2 sin θ). We derive a formula giving the ridgelet coefficients of a ridge function in terms of the 1-D wavelet coefficients of the ridge profile r(t), and w...
