The nonlinear solvers in numerical solution of water flow in variably saturated soils are prone to convergence difficulties. Many aspects can give rise to such difficulties, like very dry initial conditions, a steep pressure gradient and great variation of hydraulic conductivity occur across the wetting front during the infiltration of water.  So, the averaging method applied to compute hydraul...

In this note, we present sharp inequalities relating hypergeometric analogues of the arithmetic-geometric mean discussed in [5] and the power mean. The main result generalizes the corresponding sharp inequality for the arithmetic-geometric mean established in [10].

the first geometric-arithmetic index was introduced in the chemical theory as the summationof 2 du dv /(du  dv ) overall edges of the graph, where du stand for the degree of the vertexu. in this paper we give the expressions for computing the first geometric-arithmetic index ofhexagonal systems and phenylenes and present new method for describing hexagonal systemby corresponding a simple graph...
