the purpose of this study is to compare the results of different probabilistic methods such as the perturbation method, stochastic finite element method (sfem) and monte carlo method. these methods were used to study the convergence of direct approach for slope stability analysis and are developed for a linear soil behavior. in this study, two dimensional random fields are used and both the fir...

It is shown that the renormalization group method does not necessarily eliminate all secular terms in perturbation series to partial differential equations and a functional subspace of renormalizable secular solutions corresponds to a choice of scales of independent variables in the reductive perturbation method. Recently a novel method based on the perturbative renormalization group theory has...

by means of he's homotopy perturbation method (hpm) an approximate solution of velocity eld is derived for the ow in straight pipes of non-newtonian uid obeying the sisko model. the nonlinear equations governing the ow in pipe are for- mulated and analyzed, using homotopy perturbation method due to he. furthermore, the obtained solutions for velocity eld is graphically sketched and compared w...

This paper describes a new, powerful technique of fingerprint verification based on a perturbation method. The proposed method consists of four parts. The first part performs local FFT band-pass filtering to enhance the cyclic ridge structure in respective local areas. The second part is optimal block-wise shift for preliminary matching. Then, the third part is application of GAT correlation to...

The renormalization constants present in the lattice evaluation of the topolog-ical susceptibility can be non-perturbatively calculated by using the so-called heating method. We test this method for the O(3) non-linear σ-model in two dimensions. We work in a regime where perturbative calculations are exact and useful to check the values obtained from the heating method. The result of the test i...

The perturbation method is applied to numerical solution of the Lane-Emden Equation (LEE)of arbitrary index n, and the global parameters of polytropes are found as function of polytropic index n.
