Asian Megacity Characteristics, Problems, and Policies

International Regional Science Review, 1989
Using ten Asian megacities as examples, this article discusses a range of megacity characteristics and problems, including population growth, economic structure, spatial strategies, land policy, urban service provision, institutional development, and managerial problems.

Solution of Characteristic Problems

2011
The main objective of the analysis presented in this chapter consists in finding solutions allowing calculating the factor of conjugation (FC), whose definition is given by (2.13)[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]. After substitution of the equations for the temperature oscillations (2.9a), (2.9b) together with (2.11) for the THTC in ...

A Spectral Method of Characteristics for Hyperbolic Problems

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, 1991
A new numerical technique is introduced for first-order hyperbolic equations, based on combining the spectral method with explicit timestepping along the characteristics, which permits the use of large timesteps at no cost in accuracy. The method is unconditionally stable and spectrally accurate.

Characteristics of Dynamic Problems

1996
Abstract There are a variety of problems where the behaviour of soils in dynamic loading is of concern, but because of diversity in the areas and complexity in the conditions under which dynamic loads are applied, it is not easy to establish a hierarchy in the discipline and to put all problems in a proper perspective.

Diagnostic Characteristics and Problems

1981
This chapter attempts to diagnose or analyse those features or factors which have made it possible for the developed countries to become developed and then to show that, in spite of their power, prosperity and cultural leadership, they have not been able to escape entirely serious difficulties and national problems.

THE CHARACTERISTIC PROBLEM FOR THE EINSTEIN VACUUM EQUATIONS

Asymptotic Methods in Nonlinear Wave Phenomena, 2007
We show how to prescribe the initial data of a characteristic problem satisfying the costraints, the smallness, the regularity and the asymptotic decay suitable to prove a global existence result. In this paper, the firstof two, we show in detail the construction of the initial data and give a sketch of the existence result.

Characteristics of Problem Instances

1998
The requests on algorithms applicable in VLSI CAD differ from other areas. This also influences the design of EA based tools. For this, in this chapter some important aspects are highlighted that have to be considered.

Differential Inequalities and Characteristic Value Problems

SIAM Review, 1976
Sturm–Liouville problems are discussed under hypotheses too weak to guarantee uniqueness of solutions of the related initial value problems. The results include sharp upper and lower bounds for the nth characteristic value, a simple procedure for deducing existence of the nth characteristic function from its existence on subintervals for $n = 1$, a ...

Problem of Terminology in Characteristics of Spermatozoa of Metazoa

Russian Journal of Developmental Biology, 2005
Difficulties in characterization of spermatozoa of the Metazoa are now related to insufficiency of the traditional terms "primitive spermatozoon", "modified spermatozoon", and "aberrant spermatozoon" introduced by G. Retzius and A. Franzen for description of intermediate forms discovered in the 20th century.

The characteristic selection problem in recognition systems

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 1962
Design of pattern recognition systems usually involves a number of uncertainties which can be resolved only by experiment. In statistical recognition systems, pattern information is stored in the machine in the form of pattern characteristics with statistics relating the characteristics to the patterns.
