    Abstract: In this study, the finite difference method is applied to an optimal control problem controlled by two functions which are in the coefficients of two-dimensional Schrodinger equation. Convergence of the finite difference approximation according to the functional is proved. We have used the implicit method for solving the two-dimensional Schrodinger... Show More

    Abstract: Combined with the characteristics of separable Hamiltonian systems and the finite element methods of ordinary differential equations, we prove that the composition of linear, quadratic, cubic finite element methods are symplectic integrator to separable Hamiltonian systems, i.e. the symplectic condition is preserved exactly, but the energy is only ...

    Abstract: In this note we study a new nn matrix of the form A=[a^(min⁡(i,j)-1) ]_(i,j=1)^n, where a1 is a real positive constant. We find determinant and inversion of this matrix and its Hadamard inverse. Then some bounds for the spectral norm of this matrix are presented. Finally we represent some properties of particular block diagonal matrices that thei... Show More

    Abstract: This paper describes a new approach to obtain the global optimization problem of nonlinear mixture chopped stochastic program model. The study focused on the issue of two-stage stochastic with the lack of nonlinearity, which is contained in the objective function and constraints. Variables in the first stage is worth a count, while the variable in ... Show More

    Abstract: This paper examines the fractional order of influenza using an epidemic model. The stability of disease-free and positive fixed points is explored and studied. The Adams-Bashforth-Moulton algorithm is employed to determine the solution and also simulate the system of differential equations. It is observed that Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method gives s...
