A special case of spontaneous potential (SP) logging, which has a closed‐form solution, will be expressed as a convolutional operation. Such a formal demonstration serves two purposes. First, it separates the individual contribution of the tool from that of the earth. Second, it places this logging device within the mathematical context of signal analysis. The special case for which a closed‐form solution is known is that where all resistivities are equal. Fourier analysis applied to this solution leads to a product of two functions, of which one is identified as the contribution of the earth and the other of the tool.

It is demonstrated by using the technique of Lie algebra SU(2) that the problem of two-level systems described by arbitrary time-dependent Hamiltonians can be solved exactly. A closed-form solution of the evolution operator is presented, from which the results for any special case can be deduced.

We consider the diffraction of a scalar plane wave by two parallel half-planes. On one half-plane the total field vanishes whilst on the other its normal derivative is zero. This is a new canonical diffraction problem and we give an exact closed-form solution to it. The problem has applications to the design of acoustic barriers.

The paper presents a closed form solution for an optimum scheduling of a divisible job on an optimum number of processor arranged in an optimum sequence in a multilevel tree networks. The solution has been derived for a single divisible job where there is no dependency among subtasks and the root processor can either perform communication and computation at the same time. The solution is carried out through three basic theorems. One of the theorems selects the optimum number of available processors that must participate in executing a divisible job. The other solves the sequencing problem in load distribution by which we are able to find the optimum sequence for load distribution in a generalized form. Having the optimum number of processors and their sequencing for load distribution, we have developed a closed form solution that determines the optimum share of each processor in the sequence such that the finish time is minimized. Any alteration of the number of processors, their sequences, or their shares that are determined by the three theorems will increase the finish time.

A fixed-guided beam, with one end is fixed while the other is guided in that the angle of that end does not change, is one of the most commonly used flexible segments in compliant mechanisms such as bistable mechanisms, compliant parallelogram mechanisms, compound compliant parallelogram mechanisms, and thermomechanical in-plane microactuators. In this paper, we split a fixed-guided beam into two elements, formulate each element using the beam constraint model (BCM) equations, and then assemble the two elements' equations to obtain the final solution for the load–deflection relations. Interestingly, the resulting load–deflection solution (referred to as Bi-BCM) is closed-form, in which the tip loads are expressed as functions of the tip deflections. The maximum allowable axial force of Bi-BCM is the quadruple of that of BCM. Bi-BCM also extends the capability of BCM for predicting the second mode bending of fixed-guided beams. Besides, the boundary line between the first and the second modes bending of fixed-guided beams can be easily obtained using a closed-form equation. Bi-BCM can be immediately used for quick design calculations of compliant mechanisms utilizing fixed-guided beams as their flexible segments (generally no iteration is required). Different examples are analyzed to illustrate the usage of Bi-BCM, and the results show the effectiveness of the closed-form solution.

A tetrahedral three-spring system under a single load has been analyzed and a closed-form solution for the equilibrium positions is given. Each of the three springs is attached at one end to a fixed pivot in space while the other three ends are linked by a common pivot. The springs are assumed to behave in a linearly elastic way. The aim of the paper at hand was to find out what the maximum number of equilibrium positions of such a system might be, and how to compute all possible equilibrium configurations if a given force is applied to the common pivot. First a symmetric and unloaded system was studied. For such a system it was shown that there may exist a maximum of 22 equilibrium configurations which may all be real. Second the general, loaded system was analyzed, revealing again a maximum of 22 real equilibrium configurations. Finally, the stability of this three-spring system was investigated. A numerical example illustrates the theoretical findings.

One of the most common approaches in modern engineering research, including vehicle dynamics, is to formulate an accurate, but typically complex, mathematical model of a system or phenomenon and then use a software package to solve it. Typically, the solution is obtained in the form of a large data set, which may be difficult to analyse and interpret. This paper represents a purely theoretical analysis of a special case of vehicle longitudinal motion. Starting from a simplified mathematical model, a set of transcendental equations was derived that represents the exact solution of the model (i.e., in a closed form). The equations are analysed and interpreted in terms of what is their physical meaning. Although the equations derived here have only limited application in studying real world problems, due to the simplicity of the mathematical model, they offer a deeper insight into the nature of vehicle longitudinal motion.

We consider the diffraction of a plane wave by an infinite set of parallel equidistant half-planes. On each plate the total field vanishes on one side and the normal derivative vanishes on the other side. A closed-form solution for Bragg angle incidence is obtained by reducing the boundary value problem to a solvable Riemann problem.

This paper presents a range of methods for computing the equilibrium configuration of shopping facility sizes. First, the presently available range of quasi-balancing factor methods is considered and built into a theoretical framework in which further algorithms may be defined. Then the use of the gradient method is considered, which is a general method of solution of nonlinear equations. Last, it is shown that a special case exists in which a closed form solution may be obtained.
