We investigate effectiveness of an acceleration method applied to the modified Picard iteration for simulations of variably saturated flow. We solve nonlinear systems using both unaccelerated and accelerated modified Picard iteration as well as Newton’s method. Since Picard iterations can be slow to converge, the advantage of acceleration is to provide faster convergence while maintaining advan...

A new nonlinear iterative method for nonlinear parabolic equation is developed and applied to a multimaterial nonequilibrium radiation diffusion problem on distorted meshes. The new iterative method is named by Picard-Newton method (PN for short). Solution process of the method is as follows. First, by linearizing the time-discretized nonlinear partial differential equation(PDE), we can get an ...

In this paper, the Picard method is proposed to solve the Bernoulli equation with fuzzy initial condition under generalized H-differentiability. The existence and uniqueness of the solution and convergence of the proposed method are proved in details. Finally an example shows the accuracy of this method.

We investigate an iterative method for the solution of time-periodic parabolic PDE constrained optimization problems. It is an inexact Sequential Quadratic Programming (iSQP) method based on the Newton-Picard approach. We present and analyze a linear quadratic model problem and prove optimal mesh-independent convergence rates. Additionally, we propose a two-grid variant of the Newton-Picard met...

In this paper, a comparative study of Picard method, Adomian method and Predictor-Corrector method are presented for fractional integral equation. In Picard method [6] a uniform convergent solution for the fractional integral equation is obtained. Also, for Adomian method, we construct a series solution see ([1], [5] and [7]). Finally, Predictor-Corrector method is used for solving fractional i...

We test R. van Luijk’s method for computing the Picard group of a K3 surface. The examples considered are the resolutions of Kummer quartics in P. Using the theory of abelian varieties, in this case the Picard group may be computed directly. Our experiments show that the upper bounds provided by R. van Luijk’s method are sharp when sufficiently large primes are used. In fact, there are many pri...

We present a method to compute the geometric Picard rank of a K3 surface over Q. Contrary to a widely held belief, we show it is possible to verify Picard rank 1 using reduction only at a single prime. Our method is based on deformation theory for invertible sheaves.

We investigate a method of construction of Calabi–Yau manifolds, that is, by smoothing normal crossing varieties. We develop some theories for calculating the Picard groups of the Calabi–Yau manifolds obtained in this method. As an application, we construct more than two hundred new families of Calabi–Yau 3-folds with Picard number one that have different Hodge numbers (h’s). We also exhibit a ...
