In this paper, the Chebyshev spectral collocation method(CSCM) for one-dimensional linear hyperbolic telegraph equation is presented. Chebyshev spectral collocation method have become very useful in providing highly accurate solutions to partial differential equations. A straightforward implementation of these methods involves the use of spectral differentiation matrices. Firstly, we transform ...

chloride ion ingress in concrete is the main reason of concrete corrosion. in real world both uncertainty and stochasticity are main attributes of almost all measurements including testing and modeling of chloride content profile in concrete. regarding these facts new models should be able to represent at least some of the uncertainties in the predictions. in this paper after inspiration from c...

A new fast algorithm for reinforcement learning (RL) in continuous state and action spaces is proposed. Unlike algorithms based on dynamic programming, the proposed algorithm uses neither temporal nor spatial diierencing. Instead, it couples the solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) partial diierential equation with the structure of the function approximators that are commonly used toge...

Über die statistische Beschreibung nichtstationärer Mobilfunkkanäle. In diesem Artikel wird die statistische Beschreibung von Mobilfunkkanälen behandelt, welche nicht die Annahme schwach stationärer unkorrelierter Streuer erfüllen. Besondere Beachtung hierbei findet die lokale Streufunktion. Die vorgestellten Methoden, welche besonders für schwach dispersive und schwach korrelierte Kanäle geeig...

We present a new dispersive analysis of the isospin breaking decay η → 3π. The resulting representation of the decay amplitude allows us to determine the quark mass double ratio Q and we find as a preliminary result Q = 22.3 ± 0.4. Finally, we discuss a number of improvements that we intend to implement in the future.

We consider the class of viscous-dispersive and higherorder conservation laws. We generalize the work of Kawashima & Shizuta, and others, by extending to higher-order the notions of symmetrizability, strict dissipativity, and genuine coupling. We prove, for symmetrizable systems, that strict dissipativity is equivalent to both (i) genuine coupling and (ii) the existence of a skewsymmetric compe...

I analyze D-D mixing using the techniques of heavy quark effect field theory. [1] The analysis suggests that the there may be important cancellations among the dispersive effects of different kinds of final states, so that the total mixing may be considerably smaller than previous estimates. [2, 3]

Using the natural differential dispersive character of the renormalization group, we give a possible explanation of the present high energy data for e+ehadrons. *Work supported in part by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.
