Optimal control problems for finite-strain elasticity are considered. An inner pressure or an inner fiber tension is acting as a driving force. Such internal forces are typical, for instance, for the motion of heliotropic plants, and for muscle tissue. Non-standard objective functions relevant for elasticity problems are introduced. Optimality conditions are derived on a formal basis, and a lim...

The Murnaghan-Nakayama rule expresses the product of a Schur function with a Newton power sum in the basis of Schur functions. We establish a version of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule for Schubert polynomials and a version for the quantum cohomology ring of the Grassmannian. These rules compute all intersections of Schubert cycles with tautological classes coming from the Chern character. Like the...

The polynomial interpolation in one dimensional space R is an important method to approximate the functions. The Lagrange and Newton methods are two well known types of interpolations. In this work, we describe the semi inherited interpolation for approximating the values of a function. In this case, the interpolation matrix has the semi inherited LU factorization.

This work presents a global radial basis collocation combining with the quasiNewton iteration method for solving semilinear elliptic partial differential equations. A convergence analysis for such a meshfree discretization has been established. The main result is that there exists an exponential convergence rate with respect to the number and the shape of the radial basis functions. In addition...

in this article we decide to define a modified homotopy perturbation for solving non-linear integral equations. almost, all of the papers that was presented to solve non-linear problems by the homotopy method, they used from two non-linear and linear operators. but we convert a non-linear problem to two suitable non-linear operators also we use from appropriate bases functions such as legendre ...

In [Cha00] Chai made a conjecture on the codimensions of Newton strata in Shimura varieties, which then led Rapoport [Rap05] to his conjecture on dimensions of affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties inside affine Grassmannians. The main goal of this paper is to show that exactly the same codimensions arise in a simpler context, that of the Newton stratification in the adjoint quotient of a reductive ...

We present a multilevel algorithm based on nonsymmetric collocation with compactly supported radial basis functions for the solution of nonlinear partial diierential equations. At the operator level this algorithm can be viewed as a Newton method. Details of the algorithm as well as numerical experiments are discussed. x1. Introduction Radial basis function (RBF) methods have been studied by va...
