The Relationship

So far, two methods are often used in solving the equilibrium shapes of vesicles. One method is by starting with the general shape equation and restricting it to the shapes with particular symmetry. The other method is by assuming the symmetry and topology of the vesicle first and treating it with the calculus of variation to get a set of ordinary differential equations. The relationship between these two methods in the case of cylindrical vesicles, and a comparison of the results are given.

The Relationship

AbstractThis paper investigates the relationship between a system of differential equations and the underlying geometry associated with it. The geometry of a surface determines shortest paths, or geodesics connecting nearby points, which are defined as the solutions to a pair of second-order differential equations: the Euler–Lagrange equations of the metric. We ask when the converse holds, that is, when solutions to a system of differential equations reveals an underlying geometry. Specifically, when may the solutions to a given pair of second order ordinary differential equations d2y1/dt2 = f (y, ẏ, t) and d2y2/dt2 = g(y, ẏ, t) be reparameterized by t → T(y, t) so as to give locally the geodesics of a Euclidean space? Our approach is based upon Cartan's method of equivalence. In the second part of the paper, the equivalence problem is solved for a generic pair of second order ordinary differential equations of the above form revealing the existence of 24 invariant functions.

We describe the development of a 2-point block backward difference method (2PBBD) for solving system of nonstiff higher-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) directly. The method computes the approximate solutions at two points simultaneously within an equidistant block. The integration coefficients that are used in the method are obtained only once at the start of the integration. Numerical results are presented to compare the performances of the method developed with 1-point backward difference method (1PBD) and 2-point block divided difference method (2PBDD). The result indicated that, for finer step sizes, this method performs better than the other two methods, that is, 1PBD and 2PBDD.

The Relationship

The current numerical technique for solving a system of higher-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is to reduce it to a system of first-order equations then solving it using first-order ODE methods. Here, we propose a method to solve higher-order ODEs directly. The formulae will be derived in terms of backward difference in a constant stepsize formulation. The method developed will be validated by solving some higher-order ODEs directly with constant stepsize. To simplify the evaluations of the integration coefficients, we find the relationship between various orders. The result presented confirmed our hypothesis.

Approximate Equations

A set of first-order ordinary differential equations with initial conditions is derived for the exact, nonlinear, inextensional deformation of a loaded plate bounded by two straight edges and two curved ones. The analysis extends earlier approximate work of Mansfield and Kleeman, Ashwell, and Lin, Lin, and Mazelsky. For a plate clamped along one straight edge and subject to a force and couple along the other, there are 13 differential equations, but an independent set of 9 may be split off. In a subsequent paper, we consider alternate forms of these 9 equations for plates that twist as they deform. Their structure and solutions are compared to Mansfield’s approximate equations and particular attention is given to tip-loaded triangular plates.

The Relationship

The relationship among eigenvalues, singular values, and quadratic forms associated with linear transforms of doubly stochastic matrices has remained an important topic since 1949. The main objective of this article is to present some useful theorems, concerning the spectral properties of doubly stochastic matrices. The computation of the bounds of structured singular values for a family of doubly stochastic matrices is presented by using low-rank ordinary differential equations-based techniques. The numerical computations illustrating the behavior of the method and the spectrum of doubly stochastic matrices is then numerically analyzed.

Lipid Bilayer Vesicles

The general Helfrich shape equation determined by minimizing the curvature free energy describes the equilibrium shapes of the axisymmetric lipid bilayer vesicles in different conditions. It is a nonlinear differential equation with variable coefficients. In this letter, by analyzing the unique property of the solution, we change this shape equation into a system of the two differential equations. One of them is a linear differential equation. This equation system contains all of the known rigorous solutions of the general shape equation. And the more general constraint conditions are found for the solution of the general shape equation.

The use of agent-based simulations (ABS) in social science applications presents validation challenges. In this study, the authors use two theories for the growth of rebellion, one an ABS and the other implemented as a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Epstein’s (2001) theory for the rise of rebellion serves as one conceptual model. The authors implement this theory in NetLogo, with several modifications. The second conceptual model likens the spread of an insurgency to that of an infectious disease, specifically the susceptible-infected-removed-susceptible (SIRS) model. The authors find that the similarity of the ODE model results to those obtained from certain parameters of the ABS implementation serves as a form of model validation. The term used for this type of validation is docking. In addition, other results obtained from the ABS – not directly attainable from the ODE model but which match observed phenomenon in socio-political systems – also demonstrates operational validity.

Parabolic Shape

This paper deals with curved beams with polynomial free geometry. The problem is approached analytically and the differential equations that govern the mechanical behavior of curved beams are presented. A system of twelve linear ordinary differential equations is solved using either an analytical or a customized numerical method with boundary conditions. Results of the different components of forces, moments, rotations, and displacements are given and plotted in the examples for different polynomial-shaped beams of the fourth degree. It is concluded from the present analyses that the parabolic shape has better response to distributed loads than the other polynomial-shaped beams considered.
