Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn the Discretized Algorithm for Optimal Problems Constrained by Differential Equation with Real CoefficientsO. OlotuA discretized scheme, Discretized Continuous Algorithm (DCA), for solving constrained quadratic optimal control problems was developed to ease the computational cumbersomeness inherent in some existing algorithms, particularly, the Function Space A lgorithm (FSA) by replacing the integral by a series of summation. In order to accomplish this numerical scheme, we resort to a finite approximation of it by discretizing its … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractData-Driven Forecasting Schemes: Evaluation and ApplicationsJosip Vrbanek Jr, Wilson WangA reliable multi-step predictor is very useful to a wide array of applications to forecast the behavior of dynamic systems. The objective of this paper is to develop a more robust data-driven predictor for time series forecasting. Based on simulation analysis, it is found that multi-step-ahead forecasting schemes based on step inputs perform better than those based on sequential inputs. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,565 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Solutions of the Multispecies Predator-Prey Model by Variational Iteration MethodKhaled BatihaThe main objective of the current work was to solve the multispecies predator-prey model. The techniques used here were called the variational iteration method (VIM) and the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The advantage of this work is twofold. Firstly, the VIM reduces the computational work. Secondly, in comparison with existing techniques, the VIM is an improvement with regard to its … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,793 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeedup of Particle Transport Problems with a Beowulf ClusterZhongxiang Zhao, G. Ivan MaldonadoThe MCNP code is a general Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport program that is widely used in health physics, medical physics and nuclear engineering for problems involving neutron, photon and electron transport[1]. However, due to the stochastic nature of the algorithms employed to solve the Boltzmann transport equation, MCNP generally exhibits a slow rate of convergence. In fact, engineers and scientists … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Bayes Estimation of the First Order Moving Average ModelMahmoud M. Smadi, Ahmed A. Abu-TalebIn this work, Bayes estimation of the first order moving average model (MA(1)) were studied. Theoretical justification of the Bayes estimates based on the estimated innovations is given. The convergence of Bayes and maximum likelihood estimates are examined via simulation using different parameter values. Also, Bayes estimates were determined when the model is invertible using the estimated innovations.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Maintenance Scheduler for Near Optimum Utilization of Oil TanksFawaz S. Al-Anzi, Khaled Al-ZamelDue to the entry of Kuwait into WTO and the expected liberalization of petroleum management, the oil market is to become more competitive. However, the space limitation and public increasing awareness of environmental protection issues and stricter regulation passed by Environmental Public Authority (EPA) in Kuwait make the need for full utilization of oil tanks a prime requirement of a … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,515 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Possibility of Cyclical Behavior in a Class of Dynamic ModelsAnjan MukherjiThe study investigates conditions under which endogenous cyclic behavior may be observed within the context of Predator-Prey (Lotka-Volterra) Models. The analysis also establishes conditions under which such behavior is non-existent and hence establishes conditions for global convergence to the interior equilibrium, whenever it exists. The results are then applied to two diverse sets of economic exercises and shows how the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 9 Dec 2005 · 7,600 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of the Optical and Physical Roles of a Dielectric Laser Dye Solvent Which Affects on the Dye Laser OperationRiyad A.M. GhazyIt is well known that when the pump laser beam incidence on the laser dye liquid it will be absorbed. This absorption tends to heat the laser active medium, which is the laser dye solution. In view of this the correlated property of that active medium well change tends to shift the operated frequency and wavelength.
