Inverse procedure for measuring piezoelectric material parameters using a single multi-electrode sample [PDF]
An inverse measurement procedure for the determination of a full set of piezoelectric material parameters using a single sample is presented. The basis for the measurement procedure is a measurement of the frequency-dependent impedance of the sample.

Modification of the double direction approach for solving systems of nonlinear equations with application to Chandrasekhar’s Integral equation [PDF]
This study aims to present an accelerated derivative-free method for solving systems of nonlinear equations using a double direction approach. The approach approximates the Jacobian using a suitably formed diag-onal matrix by applying the acceleration ...

Optimal Sparse Control Formulation for Reconstruction of Noise-Affected Images
We discuss the optimal control formulation for enhancement and denoising of satellite multiband images and propose to take it in the form of an L1 control problem for a quasi-linear parabolic equation with a nonlocal p[u] Laplacian and with a cost ...

A new iteration method for solving space fractional coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations [PDF]
A linearly implicit difference scheme for the space fractional coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation is proposed. The resulting coefficient matrix of the discretized linear system consists of the sum of a complex scaled identity and a symmetric positive ...

Dynamic Shortest Paths Methods for the Time-Dependent TSP
The time-dependent traveling salesman problem (TDTSP) asks for a shortest Hamiltonian tour in a directed graph where (asymmetric) arc-costs depend on the time the arc is entered.
