In this paper, the finite element analysis of two-dimensional linear viscoelastic problems is performed using quadrilateral complex Fourier elements and, the results are compared with those obtained by quadrilateral classic Lagrange elements. Complex Fourier shape functions contain a shape parameter which is a constant unknown parameter adopted to enhance approximation’s accuracy. Since the iso...

This paper reformulates a time-discontinuous finite element method (TD-FEM) based on a new class of shape functions, called complex Fourier hereafter, for solving two-dimensional elastodynamic problems. These shape functions, which are derived from their corresponding radial basis functions, have some advantages such as the satisfaction of exponential and trigonometric function fields in comple...

The multiplication in Fpn can be performed using a polynomial version of Montgomery multiplication (Montgomery, 1985). In (Bajard et al., 2003) Bajard et al. improved this method by using a Lagrange representation: the elements of Fpn are represented by their values at a fixed set of points. The costly operations in this new algorithm are the two changes of Lagrange representation which require...

We propose that the height-angle ray vector in matrix optics should be complex, based on a geometric algebra analysis. We also propose that the ray’s 2×2 matrix operators should be right-acting, so that the matrix product succession would go with light’s left-to-right propagation. We express the propagation and refraction operators as a sum of a unit matrix and an imaginary matrix proportional ...

in this paper, we use petrov-galerkin elements such as continuous and discontinuous lagrange-type k-0 elements and hermite-type 3-1 elements to find an approximate solution for linear fredholm integro-differential equations on $[0,1]$. also we show the efficiency of this method by some numerical examples
