the euler-lagrange equation plays an important role in the minimization problems of the calculus of variations. this paper employs the differential transformation method (dtm) for finding the solution of the euler-lagrange equation which arise from problems of calculus of variations. dtm provides an analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series with easily computable components. s...

‎The distinguishing number (resp. index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$‎ ‎such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (resp. edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial‎ ‎automorphism‎. ‎For any $n in mathbb{N}$‎, ‎the $n$-subdivision of $G$ is a simple graph $G^{frac{1}{n}}$ which is constructed by replacing each edge of $G$ with a path of length $n$...

Objective(s): Current therapeutic strategies for cancer are associated with side effects and lack of specificity in treatments. Biological therapies including monoclonal antibodies and immune effectors have been the subject of multiple research projects. Pore-forming proteins may become the other biological strategy to overcome the problems associated with current treatments. But detailed mecha...
