There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

to be done in this area. Face recognition is a problem that scarcely clamoured for attention before the computer age but, having surfaced, has involved a wide range of techniques and has attracted the attention of some fine minds (David Mumford was a Fields Medallist in 1974). This singular application of mathematical modelling to a messy applied problem of obvious utility and importance but with no unique solution is a pretty one to share with students: perhaps, returning to the source of our opening quotation, we may invert Duncan's earlier observation, 'There is an art to find the mind's construction in the face!'.

The work is giving estimations of the discrepancy between solutions of the initial and the homogenized problems for a one{dimensional second order elliptic operators with random coeecients satisfying strong or uniform mixing conditions. We obtain several sharp estimates in terms of the corresponding mixing coeecient. Abstract. In the theory of homogenisation it is of particular interest to determine the classes of problems which are stable on taking the homogenisation limits. A notable situation where the limit enlarges the class of original problems is known as memory (nonlocal) eeects. A number of results in that direction has been obtained for linear problems. Tartar (1990) innitiated the study of the eeective equation corresponding to nonlinear equation: @ t u n + a n u 2 n = f: Signiicant progress has been hampered by the complexity of required computations needed in order to obtain the terms in power{series expansion. We propose a method which overcomes that diiculty by introducing graphs representing the domain of integration of the integrals in each term. The graphs are relatively simple, it is easy to calculate with them and they give us a clear image of the form of each term. The method allows us to discuss the form of the eeective equation and the convergence of power{series expansions. The feasibility of our method for other types of nonlinearities will be discussed as well.

Waves in Dusty Space Plasmas

In this paper, we examine generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation (GNLSE) for lump, breather lump wave, rogue wave, periodic cross kink wave, lump with one kink, lump with two-kink, interaction between lump periodic and kink wave, periodic cross lump wave, periodic wave and multi-wave. Ansatz transformations will be used to study homoclinic breather, kink cross rational, M-shaped rational, periodic cross rational, M-shaped rational with one kink, M-shaped rational with two-kink, M-shaped interaction with rogue and kink and M-shaped interaction with periodic and kink. We will also study the stability of the obtained solutions. Additionally, we present three-dimensional, two-dimensional, contour, and stream plot illustrations for our graphs.

Lie symmetry analysis and conservation laws with soliton solutions to a nonlinear model related to chains of atoms

We propose and develop a new finite volume method for a one-pressure model of two-phase flows in one and two dimensional, where the first phase is vapor, which is compressible, and the second phase referred to as the liquid phase. This model has complex characteristic values, which poses a numerical difficulty. This scheme consists of a predictor stage and corrector stage. Numerical results are presented for two-phase flows model in one and two dimensions. It is found that the proposed finite volume scheme offers a robust and accurate approach for solving this model, and this scheme reveals to be robust and efficient for non-hyperbolic and non-conservative systems and our scheme does not need complicated Jacobian fields decomposition. 

Numerical simulation for a one‐pressure model of two‐phase flows using a new finite volume scheme

This paper discusses the generalized [Formula: see text]-dimensional Hietarinta-type fourth-order nonlinear equation (GHTE) and Resonant nonlinear Schrödinger equation (RNLSE). We will study the soliton solutions of the GHTE as well as RNLSE by the renowned, efficient and successful method called sub-ODE technique. The solutions are categorized as dark soliton, periodic, rational, positive, hyperbolic and Weierstrass elliptic solutions (WES). Stability analysis of the solutions is performed for both the models. Later on, these results will be displayed graphically by 3D, 2D, contour, density and streamline plots which describe the behavior of the waves.
