Practical Performance

In this paper we propose a new practical performance index for ranking of numerical methods. This index may be very helpful especially when several methods are tested on a large number of instances, since it provides a concise and precise idea of the relative efficiency of a method with the respect to the others. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed rule, we have applied it to the numerical results presented on previously published papers.

AbstractIn this paper, the multi-term time-fractional wave-diffusion equations are considered. The multi-term time fractional derivatives are defined in the Caputo sense, whose orders belong to the intervals [0,1], [1,2), [0,2), [0,3), [2,3) and [2,4), respectively. Some computationally effective numerical methods are proposed for simulating the multi-term time-fractional wave-diffusion equations. The numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of theoretical analysis. These methods and techniques can also be extended to other kinds of the multi-term fractional time-space models with fractional Laplacian.

Stability studies of parametrically excited systems are frequently carried out by numerical methods. Especially for LTP-systems, several such methods are known and in practical use. This study investigates and compares two methods that are both based on Floquet’s theorem. As an introductary benchmark problem a 1-dof system is employed, which is basically a mechanical representation of the damped Mathieu-equation. The second problem to be studied in this contribution is a time-periodic 2-dof vibrational system. The system equations are transformed into a modal representation to facilitate the application and interpretation of the results obtained by different methods. Both numerical methods are similar in the sense that a monodromy matrix for the LTP-system is calculated numerically. However, one method uses the period of the parametric excitation as the interval for establishing that matrix. The other method is based on the period of the solution, which is not known exactly. Numerical results are computed by both methods and compared in order to work out how they can be applied efficiently.

New Ideas

New ideas on numerical methods for solving fuzzy nonlinear equations have spread quickly across the globe. However, most of the methods available are based on Newton’s approach whose performance is impaired by either discontinuity or singularity of the Jacobian at the solution point. Also, the study of dual fuzzy nonlinear equations is yet to be explored by many researchers. Thus, in this paper, a numerical method to investigate the solution of dual fuzzy nonlinear equations is proposed. This method reduces the computational cost of Jacobian evaluation at every iteration. The fuzzy coefficients are presented in its parametric form. Numerical results obtained have shown that the proposed method is efficient.

Abstract An algorithm based on Lemarechal’s bundle method for nonsmooth and nonconvex engineering optimization is proposed. The convergence result is given and proved. The algorithm’s numerical implementation is discussed in detail. By the numerical methods proposed by this paper, most bundle methods could be used in practical engineering optimization. Finally, some numerical results are presented to show its efficiency.

Abstract We study the performances of several numerical methods (Paoli-Schatzman, Newmark, Runge-Kutta) in order to compute periodic behavior of a simple one-degree-of-freedom impacting oscillator. Some theoretical results are given and numerical tests are performed. We compare mathematical and numerical results using our simple example exhibiting either finite or infinite number of impacts per period. Comparison of exact and numerical solution provides a practical order for each scheme. We conclude about the use of the different numerical methods.

We present two simple numerical methods to find the free boundary in one-phase Stefan problem. The work is motivated by the necessity for better understanding of the solution surface (temperatures) near the free boundary. We formulate a log-transform function with the unfixed and fixed free boundary that has Lipschitz character near free boundary. We solve the quadratic equation in order to locate the free boundary in a time-recursive way. We also present several numerical results which illustrate a comparison to other methods.

Degenerate Cases

This paper contains a survey of numerical methods for connecting orbits in discrete dynamical systems. Special emphasis is put on degenerate cases where either the orbit loses transversality or one of its endpoints loses hyperbolicity. Numerical methods that approximate the connecting orbits by finite orbit sequences are described in detail and theoretical results on the error analysis are provided. For most of the degenerate cases we present examples and numerical results that illustrate the applicability of the methods and the validity of the error estimates.

Characteristic Network

The steady supersonic flow of a vibrationally relaxing gas past a cone is studied using numerical methods. Near the tip of the cone the flow is obtained by means of a coordinate expansion and built on to this is a characteristic network used to obtain the remainder of the flow. Of particular interest is the development of the frozen shock at the tip into a relaxation-dominated wave at distances large compared with the width of the wave. The numerical results are presented in a concise similarity form which will permit accurate extrapolation to very weak waves in atmospheric air.
