Furthermore, we explain the physical significance of the obtained solutions of its definite values of the involved parameters with graphic representations in order to know the physical phenomena. Finally, we show that the exp(−τ(ξ))-expansion method is convenient, powerful, straightforward and provide more general solutions and can be helping to examine vast amount of travelling wave solutions to the other different kinds of NLDEs.展开更多

By means of the simplifed Jacobi operational matrix, we produce the diferentiation matrix and transfer the space-fractional Burgers' equation into a system of ordinary diferential equations that can be solved by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The numerical simulations indicate that the Jacobi spectral collocation method is highly accurate and fast convergent for the generalized space-fractional Burgers' equation.展开更多

It is known that all statistical distributions can be obtained as distribution by choosing corresponding moment functions. However, Generalized Entropy Optimization Distributions (GEOD) in the form of distributions which are obtained on basis of Shannon measure and supplementary optimization with respect to characterizing moment functions, more exactly represent the given statistical data. For this reason, survival data analysis by GEOD acquires a new significance. In this research, the data of the life table for engine failure data (1980) is examined. The performances of GEOD are established by Chi-Square criteria, Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) criteria and Shannon entropy measure, Kullback-Leibler measure. Comparison of GEOD with each other in the different senses shows that along of these distributions (MinMaxEnt)4 is better in the senses of Shannon measure and of Kullback-Leibler measure. It is showed that, (MinMaxEnt)3 ((MaxMaxEnt)4) is more suitable for statistical data among (MinMaxEnt)m,m=1,2,3,4(MaxMaxEnt)m,m=1,2,3,4. Moreover, (MinMaxEnt)3 is better for statistical data than (MaxMaxEnt)4 in the sense of RMSE criteria. According to obtained distribution (MinMaxEnt)3 (MaxMaxEnt)4 estimator of Probability Density Function?f^?(t), Cumulative Distribution Functio?F^ (t) , Survival Function Ŝ(t) and Hazard Rate ĥ(t) are evaluated and graphically illustrated. The results are acquired by using statistical software MATLAB.展开更多

These methods are based on primary maximizing Max(F)Ent measure for fixed moment vector function in order to obtain the special functional with maximum values of Max(F)Ent measure and secondary optimization of mentioned functional with respect to moment vector functions. Distributions, in other words sets of successive values of estimated membership function closest to (furthest from) the given membership function in the sense of Max(F)Ent measure, obtained by mentioned methods are defined as (MinMax(F)Ent)m which is closest to a given membership function and (MaxMax(F)Ent)m which is furthest from a given membership function.
