Method for Computing Scattering Matrices

2021

Chapter 4 presents statement and justification of a method for approximate computing a waveguide scattering matrix. As an approximation to a row of such a matrix, a minimizer of a quadratic functional is suggested. To construct the functional, one has to solve a boundary value problem in a bounded domain obtained by cutting off the cylindrical ends of the waveguide at distance R. The minimizer tends to the scattering matrix row at exponential rate as R increases to infinity.

Convergence of a high-order compact finite difference scheme for a nonlinear Black–Scholes equation

2004

A high-order compact finite difference scheme for a fully nonlinear parabolic differential equation is analyzed. The equation arises in the modeling of option prices in financial markets with transaction costs. It is shown that the finite difference solution converges locally uniformly to the unique viscosity solution of the continuous equation. The proof is based on a careful study of the discretization matrices and on an abstract convergence result due to Barles and Souganides.

Construction of a fundamental set of solutions of an arbitrary homogeneous linear difference equation

2002

Abstract The detailed construction of a prefixed fundamental set of solutions of a linear homogeneous difference equation of any order with arbitrarily variable coefficients is reported. The usefulness of the resulting resolutive formula is illustrated by simple applications to the Hermite polynomials and to the Fibonacci sequence.

Improvement of matrix solutions of generalized nonlinear wave equation

2005

Four classes of nonlinear wave equations are joined in one generalized nonlinear wave equation. A theorem is proved that the whole series of matrix functions satisfy the generalized wave equation. A justification of rotational properties of matrix solutions is given and a mathematical model of the ring vortex around the acute edge is proposed using of matrix solutions.

Computing continuous numerical solutions of matrix differential equations

1995

Abstract In this paper, we construct analytical approximate solutions of initial value problems for the matrix differential equation X ′( t ) = A ( t ) X ( t ) + X ( t ) B ( t ) + L ( t ), with twice continuously differentiable functions A ( t ), B ( t ), and L ( t ), continuous. We determine, in terms of the data, the existence interval of the problem. Given an admissible error e, we construct an approximate solution whose error is smaller than e uniformly, in all the domain.

A new analytical solar cell I–V curve model

2011

Abstract A simple mathematical equation that can represent empirical I–V curves of individual solar cells, systems of solar cells and modules has been found. The basic model is determined by four parameters: the open circuit voltage, the short circuit current and two shape parameters. With the four parameters determined, the complete current–voltage curve, the fill factor and the maximum power point are given by simple analytical functions. The model is valid both in the positive and the negative (dark condition) voltage range. Several simple examples demonstrate some of the potential of the model. Due to its mathematical simplicity, it is suggested that the model will be suitable for analy…

Control of essential supremum of solutions of quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations

2001

Sufficient conditions are obtained so that a weak subsolution of a class of quasilinear degenerate parabolic equations, bounded from above on theparabolic boundary of the cylinder Q, turns out to be bounded from above in Q.

The McShane, PU and Henstock integrals of Banach valued functions

2002

Some relationships between the vector valued Henstock and McShane integrals are investigated. An integral for vector valued functions, defined by means of partitions of the unity (the PU-integral) is studied. In particular it is shown that a vector valued function is McShane integrable if and only if it is both Pettis and PU-integrable. Convergence theorems for the Henstock variational and the PU integrals are stated. The families of multipliers for the Henstock and the Henstock variational integrals of vector valued functions are characterized.

Fl�chen Beschr�nkter Mittlerer Kr�mmung in Einer Dreidimensionalen Riemannschen Mannigfaltigkeit

1973

In recent papers HILDEBRANDT [11] and HARTH [5] proved the existence of solutions of the problem of Plateau for surfaces of bounded mean curvature with fixed and free boundaries in E3 and for minimal surfaces with free boundaries in a Riemannian manifold, respectively. Here their methods will be combined to solve the problem of Plateau for surfaces of bounded mean curvature in a Riemannian manifold. This will be done for fixed and free boundaries. Moreover, isoperimetric inequalities for the solutions will be given.
