Mobile sensor routing for parameter estimation of distributed systems using the parallel tunneling method

Tomasz Zięba, Dariusz Uciński (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The paper deals with the problem of optimal path planning for a sensor network with mutliple mobile nodes, whose measurements are supposed to be primarily used to estimate unknown parameters of a system modelled by a partial differential equation. The adopted framework permits to consider two- or three-dimensional spatial domains and correlated observations. Since the aim is to maximize the accuracy of the estimates, a general functional defined on the relevant Fisher information matrix is used...

Model analysis of BPX preconditioner based on smoothed aggregation

Pavla Fraňková, Jan Mandel, Petr Vaněk (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

We prove nearly uniform convergence bounds for the BPX preconditioner based on smoothed aggregation under the assumption that the mesh is regular. The analysis is based on the fact that under the assumption of regular geometry, the coarse-space basis functions form a system of macroelements. This property tends to be satisfied by the smoothed aggregation bases formed for unstructured meshes.

Model of shell metal mould heating in the automotive industry

Jaroslav Mlýnek, Roman Knobloch (2018)

Applications of Mathematics

This article focuses on heat radiation intensity optimization on the surface of a shell metal mould. Such moulds are used in the automotive industry in the artificial leather production (the artificial leather is used, e.g., on car dashboards). The mould is heated by infrared heaters. After the required temperature is attained, the inner mould surface is sprinkled with special PVC powder. The powder melts and after cooling down it forms the artificial leather. A homogeneous temperature field of...

Modeling and Simulating Asymmetrical Conductance Changes in Gramicidin Pores

Shixin Xu, Minxin Chen, Sheereen Majd, Xingye Yue, Chun Liu (2014)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

Gramicidin A is a small and well characterized peptide that forms an ion channel in lipid membranes. An important feature of gramicidin A (gA) pore is that its conductance is affected by the electric charges near the its entrance. This property has led to the application of gramicidin A as a biochemical sensor for monitoring and quantifying a number of chemical and enzymatic reactions. Here, a mathematical model of conductance changes of gramicidin A pores in response to the presence of electrical...

Modeling, mathematical and numerical analysis of electrorheological fluids

Michael Růžička (2004)

Applications of Mathematics

Many electrorheological fluids are suspensions consisting of solid particles and a carrier oil. If such a suspension is exposed to a strong electric field the effective viscosity increases dramatically. In this paper we first derive a model which captures this behaviour. For the resulting system of equations we then prove local in time existence of strong solutions for large data. For these solutions we finally derive error estimates for a fully implicit time-discretization.

Modeling Non-Stationary Processes of Diffusion of Solute Substances in the Near-Bottom Layer ofWater Reservoirs: Variation of the Direction of Flows and Assessment of Admissible Biogenic Load

V. V. Kozlov (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The paper is devoted to mathematical modelling and numerical computations of a nonstationary free boundary problem. The model is based on processes of molecular diffusion of some products of chemical decomposition of a solid organic substance concentrated in bottom sediments. It takes into account non-stationary multi-component and multi-stage chemical decomposition of organic substances and the processes of sorption desorption under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Such a model allows one to...

Modeling of the resonance of an acoustic wave in a torus

Jérôme Adou, Adama Coulibaly, Narcisse Dakouri (2013)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

A pneumatic tyre in rotating motion with a constant angular velocity Ω is assimilated to a torus whose generating circle has a radius R . The contact of the tyre with the ground is schematized as an ellipse with semi-major axis a . When ( Ω R / C 0 ) 1 and ( a / R ) 1 (where C 0 is the velocity of the sound), we show that at the rapid time scale R / C 0 , the air motion within a torus periodically excited on its surface generates an acoustic wave h . A study of this acoustic wave is conducted and shows that the mode associated to...

Modeling the Cancer Stem Cell Hypothesis

C. Calmelet, A. Prokop, J. Mensah, L. J. McCawley, P. S. Crooke (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Solid tumors and hematological cancers contain small population of tumor cells that are believed to play a critical role in the development and progression of the disease. These cells, named Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs), have been found in leukemia, myeloma, breast, prostate, pancreas, colon, brain and lung cancers. It is also thought that CSCs drive the metastatic spread of cancer. The CSC compartment features a specific and phenotypically defined cell...
