Nonlinear Problems via a Convergence Accelerated Decomposition Method of Adomian

The present paper is devoted to the convergence control and accelerating the traditional Decomposition Methodof Adomian (ADM). By means of perturbing the initial or early terms of the Adomian iterates by adding aparameterized term, containing an embedded parameter, new modified ADM is constructed. The optimal value ofthis parameter is later determined via squared residual minimizing the error. The failure of the classical ADM is alsoprevented by a suitable value of the embedded parameter, particularly beneficial for the Duan–Rach modification ofthe ADM incorporating all the boundaries into the formulation. With the presented squared residual error analysis,there is no need to check out the results against the numerical ones, as usually has to be done in the traditional ADMstudies to convince the readers that the results are indeed converged to the realistic solutions. Physical examplesselected from the recent application of ADM demonstrate the validity, accuracy and power of the presented novelapproach in this paper. Hence, the highly nonlinear equations arising from engineering applications can be safelytreated by the outlined method for which the classical ADM may fail or be slow to converge.

Alternative Fourier Series Expansions with Accelerated Convergence

The key objective of this paper is to improve the approximation of a sufficiently smooth nonperiodic function defined on a compact interval by proposing alternative forms of Fourier series expansions. Unlike in classical Fourier series, the expansion coefficients herein are explicitly dependent not only on the function itself, but also on its derivatives at the ends of the interval. Each of these series expansions can be made to converge faster at a desired polynomial rate. These results have useful implications to Fourier or harmonic analysis, solutions to differential equations and boundary value problems, data compression, and so on.

Super-Fast Approximation Algorithms Using Classical Fourier Tools

In the author’s recent publications, a parametric system biorthogonal to the corresponding segment of the exponential Fourier system was unusually effective. On its basis, it was discovered that knowledge of a finite number of Fourier coefficients of function f from an infinite-dimensional set of elementary functions allows f to be accurately restored (the phenomenon of over-convergence). Below, parametric biorthogonal systems are constructed for classical trigonometric Fourier series, and the corresponding phenomena of over-convergence are discovered. The decisive role here was played by representing the space L2 as an orthogonal sum of two corresponding subspaces. As a result, fast parallel algorithms for reconstructing a function from its truncated trigonometric Fourier series are proposed. The presented numerical experiments confirm the high efficiency of these convergence accelerations for smooth functions. In conclusion, the main results of the work are summarized, and some prospects for the development and generalization of the proposed approaches are discussed.

Forced propagation method for Monte Carlo fission source convergence acceleration in the RMC

In loosely coupled or large-scale problems with high dominance ratios,slow fission source convergence can take extremely long time,reducing Monte Carlo(MC)criticality calculation efficiency.Although various acceleration methods have been developed,some methods cannot reduce convergence times,whereas others have been limited to specific problem geometries.In this study,a new fission source convergence acceleration(FSCA)method,the forced propagation(FP)method,has been proposed,which forces the fission source to propagate and accelerate fission source convergence.Additionally,some stabilization techniques have been designed to render the method more practical.The resulting stabilized method was then successfully implemented in the MC transport code,and its feasibility and effectiveness were tested using the modified OECD/NEA,one-dimensional slab benchmark,and the Hoogenboom full-core problem.The comparison results showed that the FP method was able to achieve efficient FSCA.

ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF ECKHOFF'S METHOD FOR FOURIER SERIES CONVERGENCE ACCELERATION

The current paper considers the problem of recovering a function using a limited number of its Fourier coefficients. Specifically, a method based on Bernoulli-like polynomials suggested and developed by Krylov, Lanczos, Gottlieb and Eckhoff is examined. Asymptotic behavior of approximate calculation of the so-called ＂jumps＂ is studied and asymptotic L2 constants of the rate of convergence of the method are computed.

ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF THE ECKHOFF METHOD FOR CONVERGENCE ACCELERATION OF TRIGONOMETRIC INTERPOLATION

Convergence acceleration of the classical trigonometric interpolation by the Eckhoff method is considered, where the exact values of the ＂jumps＂ are approximated by solution of a system of linear equations. The accuracy of the ＂jump＂ approximation is explored and the corresponding asymptotic error of interpolation is derived. Numerical results validate theoretical estimates.

Integrating Tabu Search in Particle Swarm Optimization for the Frequency Assignment Problem

In this paper, we address one of the issues in the frequency assignment problem for cellular mobile networks in which we intend to minimize the interference levels when assigning frequencies from a limited frequency spectrum. In order to satisfy the increasing demand in such cellular mobile networks, we use a hybrid approach consisting of a Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) combined with a Tabu Search(TS) algorithm. This approach takes both advantages of PSO efficiency in global optimization and TS in avoiding the premature convergence that would lead PSO to stagnate in a local minimum. Moreover, we propose a new efficient, simple, and inexpensive model for storing and evaluating solution's assignment. The purpose of this model reduces the solution's storage volume as well as the computations required to evaluate thesesolutions in comparison with the classical model. Our simulation results on the most known benchmarking instances prove the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm in comparison with previous related works in terms of convergence rate, the number of iterations, the solution storage volume and the running time required to converge to the optimal solution.

ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF THE ECKHOFF APPROXIMATION IN BIVARIATE CASE

The paper considers the Krylov-Lanczos and the Eckhoff approximations for recovering a bivariate function using limited number of its Fourier coefficients. These approximations are based on certain corrections associated with jumps in the partial derivatives of the approximated function. Approximation of the exact jumps is accomplished by solution of systems of linear equations along the idea of Eckhoff. Asymptotic behaviors of the approximate jumps and the Eckhoff approximation are studied. Exact constants of the asymptotic errors are computed. Numerical experiments validate theoretical investigations.

Finite element reliability analysis of slope stability

The method of nonlinear finite element reliability analysis (FERA) of slope stability using the technique of slip surface stress analysis (SSA) is studied. The limit state function that can consider the direction of slip surface is given, and the formula-tions of FERA based on incremental tangent stiffness method and modified Aitken accelerating algorithm are developed. The limited step length iteration method (LSLIM) is adopted to calculate the reliability index. The nonlinear FERA code using the SSA technique is developed and the main flow chart is illustrated. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of this method. It is found that the accelerating convergence algorithm proposed in this study proves to be very efficient for it can reduce the iteration number greatly, and LSLIM is also efficient for it can assure the convergence of the iteration of the reliability index.

A Numerical Algorithm for Arbitrary Real-Order Hankel Transform

The Hankel transform is widely used to solve various engineering and physics problems,such as the representation of electromagnetic field components in the medium,the representation of dynamic stress intensity factors,vibration of axisymmetric infinite membrane and displacement intensity factors which all involve this type of integration.However,traditional numerical integration algorithms cannot be used due to the high oscillation characteristics of the Bessel function,so it is particularly important to propose a high precision and efficient numerical algorithm for calculating the integral of high oscillation.In this paper,the improved Gaver-Stehfest(G-S)inverse Laplace transform method for arbitrary real-order Bessel function integration is presented by using the asymptotic characteristics of the Bessel function and the accumulation of integration,and the optimized G-S coefficients are given.The effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by numerical examples.Compared with the linear transformation accelerated convergence algorithm,it shows that the G-S inverse Laplace transform method is suitable for arbitrary real order Hankel transform,and the time consumption is relatively stable and short,which provides a reliable calculation method for the study of electromagnetic mechanics,wave propagation,and fracture dynamics.
