Enhancing Proficiency in Quadratic Equations and Functions Through the MILAPlus Strategy

This study investigates the efficacy of the Mathematics Independent Learning Activity Practice and Play Unite Scheme(MILAPlus)as an instructional strategy to improve the proficiency levels of Grade 9 students in quadratic equations and functions through a study carried out at Quezon National High School.The research involved 116 Grade 9 students and utilized a quantitative approach,incorporating both pre-assessment and post-assessment measures.The research utilizes a quasi-experimental design,examining the academic performance of students before and after the introduction of MILAPlus.The pre-assessment establishes a baseline,and the subsequent post-assessment measures the impact of the instructional strategy.Statistical analyses,including t-tests,assess the significance of differences in mean scores and mean percentage scores,providing quantitative insights into the effectiveness of MILAPlus.Findings from the study revealed a statistically significant improvement in both mean scores and mean percentage scores after the utilization of MILAPlus,indicating enhanced proficiency in quadratic equations and functions.The Mean Proficiency Scores(MPS)also showed a substantial increase,demonstrating a marked improvement in overall proficiency levels among Grade 9 students.In light of the results,recommendations were given including the continued utilization of MILAPlus as an instructional strategy and aligning its development with prescribed learning competencies.Emphasizing the consistent adherence to policies and guidelines for MILAPlus implementation is suggested for sustaining positive effects on students’long-term performance in mathematics.This research contributes valuable insights into the practical application and effectiveness of MILAPlus within the context of Grade 9 mathematics education at Quezon National High School.

Novel Method to Deal with Interval Quadratic Equations via Sign-Variation Analysis

In this article, analytical results are obtained apparently for the first time in the literature, for the lower and upper bounds of the roots of quadratic equations when two or all three coefficients a, b, c constitute an interval, with a method called the sign-variation analysis. The results are compared with the parametrization technique offered by Elishakoff and Miglis, and with the solution yielded by minimization and maximization commands of the Maple software. Solutions for some interval word problems are also provided to edulcorate the methodology. This article only focuses on the real roots of those quadratic equations, complex solutions being beyond this investigation.

Anisotropic Standard Decelerating Cosmological Model with Quadratic Equation of State

Spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi type-I cosmological model containing perfect fluid with quadratic equation of state has been diagnosed in general theory of relativity.

The exact solution of Einstein’s field equations thus obtained represents an expanding and decelerating universe. The physical and kinematical parameters of the model have also been analyzed with certain constrained between the parameters of the quadratic equation of state.

Equation oriented method for Rectisol wash modeling and analysis

Rectisol process is more efficient in comparison with other physical or chemical absorption methods for gas purification. To implement a real time simulation of Rectisol process, thermodynamic model and simulation strategy are needed. In this paper, a method of modified statistical associated fluid theory with perturbation theory is used to predict thermodynamic behavior of process. As Rectisol process is a highly heat-integrated process with many loops, a method of equation oriented strategy, sequential quadratic programming, is used as the solver and the process converges perfectly. Then analyses are conducted with this simulator.

Neural Network-Based Variational Methods for Solving Quadratic Porous Medium Equations in High Dimensions

In this paper,we propose and study neural network-based methods for solutions of high-dimensional quadratic porous medium equation(QPME).Three variational formulations of this nonlinear PDE are presented:a strong formulation and two weak formulations.For the strong formulation,the solution is directly parameterized with a neural network and optimized by minimizing the PDEresidual.It can be proved that the convergence of the optimization problem guarantees the convergence of the approximate solution in the L^(1)sense.Theweak formulations are derived following(Brenier in Examples of hidden convexity in nonlinear PDEs,2020)which characterizes the very weak solutions of QPME.Specifically speaking,the solutions are represented with intermediate functions who are parameterized with neural networks and are trained to optimize the weak formulations.Extensive numerical tests are further carried out to investigate the pros and cons of each formulation in low and high dimensions.This is an initial exploration made along the line of solving high-dimensional nonlinear PDEs with neural network-based methods,which we hope can provide some useful experience for future investigations.

Commuting Solutions of a Quadratic Matrix Equation for Nilpotent Matrices

We solve the quadratic matrix equation AXA = XAX with a given nilpotent matrix A, to find all commuting solutions. We first provide a key lemma, and consider the special case that A has only one Jordan block to motivate the idea for the general case. Our main result gives the structure of all the commuting solutions of the equation with an arbitrary nilpotent matrix.

MODIFIED BERNOULLI ITERATION METHODS FOR QUADRATIC MATRIX EQUATION

We construct a modified Bernoulli iteration method for solving the quadratic matrix equation AX^2 ＋ BX ＋ C = 0, where A, B and C are square matrices. This method is motivated from the Gauss-Seidel iteration for solving linear systems and the ShermanMorrison-Woodbury formula for updating matrices. Under suitable conditions, we prove the local linear convergence of the new method. An algorithm is presented to find the solution of the quadratic matrix equation and some numerical results are given to show the feasibility and the effectiveness of the algorithm. In addition, we also describe and analyze the block version of the modified Bernoulli iteration method.
