In this paper, a spectral collocation approach based on the rational Chebyshev functions for solving the axisymmetric stagnation point flow on an infinite stationary circular cylinder is suggested. The Navier-Stokes equations which govern the flow, are changed to a boundary value problem with a semi-infinite domain and a third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation by applying proper si...

The present work solves two-dimensional Advection-Dispersion Equation (ADE) in a semi-infinite domain. A variable source concentration is regarded as the monotonic decreasing function at the source boundary (x=0). Depth-dependent variables are considered to incorporate real life situations in this modeling study, with zero flux condition assumed to occur at the exit boundary of the domain, i.e....

in this paper we propose a method for solving some well-known classes of lane-emden type equations which are nonlinear ordinary differential equations on the semi-in nite domain. the proposed approach is based on an unsupervised combined arti cial neural networks (ucann) method. firstly, the trial solutions of the differential equations are written in the form of feed-forward neural networks co...

In generalized semi-infinite programming the feasible set is known to be not closed in general. In this paper, under natural and generic assumptions, the closure of the feasible set is described in explicit terms.

The vertical and rocking impedances of a rigid foundation resting on a semi-infinite transversely isotropic medium are obtained in the frequency domain. In the present approach, the contact pressure distribution on the soil foundation-interface is approximated by a linear combination of known pressure patterns. It is shown herein that the approximate solutions of spatial displacement distributi...

Many numerical methods have been developed for the solution of Poisson and Laplace equations such as finite-difference methods, finite-element methods, boundary-element methods, etc. Sinc numerical methods developed recently by Stenger and co-workers excel over other methods for problems involving singularities, infinite or semi-infinite domains as well as boundary layer behaviors. In this pape...

The aim of this paper is to give a survey of some basic theory of semi-infinite programming. In particular, we discuss various approaches to derivations of duality, discretization, and first and second order optimality conditions. Some of the surveyed results are well known while others seem to be less noticed in that area of research.

In this paper we study differentiability and semismoothness properties of functions defined as integrals of parameterized functions. We also discuss applications of the developed theory to the problems of shape-preserving interpolation, option pricing and semi-infinite programming.
