In this work, an iterative approach using the finite difference frequency domain method is presented to solve the problem of scattering from large-scale electromagnetic structures. The idea of the proposed iterative approach is to divide one computational domain into smaller subregions and solve each subregion separately. Then the subregion solutions are combined iteratively to obtain a solutio...

Institutional review board approval, with waived consent, was obtained to develop a spine-labeling algorithm with retrospectively obtained deidentified HIPAA-compliant data. An automated magnetic resonance (MR) imaging technique to rapidly survey the entire spine and provide definitive numbering of disks and vertebrae was compared with neuroradiologist assignments in 50 cases. Contiguous two-st...

Restart techniques for randomizing complete search algorithms were proposed recently by Gomes et al., for solving hard combinatorial problems. A new iterative algorithm that uses restart techniques is proposed, and its behavior analyzed on random timetabling problems. Employee timetabling problems (ETPs) can naturally represented by constraints networks for real world instances which are large ...

We develop monotone iterative technique for a system of semilinear elliptic boundary value problems when the forcing function is the sum of Caratheodory functions which are nondecreasing and nonincreasing, respectively. The splitting of the forcing function leads to four different types of coupled weak upper and lower solutions. In this paper, relative to two of these coupled upper and lower so...
