In this paper, we present a conceptual-numerical model that can be deduced from a calibrated finite difference groundwater-flow model, which provides a parsimonious approach to simulate and analyze hydraulic heads and ...
Numerical methods for solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) have received considerable attention in recent years. In this paper a piecewise-linearized algorithm based on Krylov subspaces for solving Initial Value ...

It is known that the performance of adaptive algorithms is constrained by their computational cost. Thus, affine projection adaptive algorithms achieve higher convergence speed when the projection order increases, which ...

Variable order affine projection algorithms have been recently presented to be used when not only the convergence speed of the algorithm has to be adjusted but also its computational cost and its final residual error. These ...
Opportunistic Routing (OR) has been investigated in recent years as a way to increase the performance of multihop wireless networks by exploiting its broadcast nature. In contrast to traditional routing, where traffic is ...
The analysis of heat conduction through a solid with heat generation leads to a linear matrix differential equation with separated boundary conditions. We present a symmetric second order exponential integrator for the ...
This paper presents a method for constructing polynomial approximations of the solutions of nonlinear initial value systems of differential equations. Given an a priori chosen accuracy, the degree of the vector polynomial ...

Most design codes (Model Code 90, ACI-318-2008 and Eurocode-2-2004) suggest that the effect of a geometrical imperfection ought to be taken into account in the most unfavorable direction when designing slender reinforced ...
In this paper, based on Ostrowski's method, a new family of eighth-order methods for solving nonlinear equations is derived. In terms of computational cost, each iteration of these methods requires three evaluations of the ...
We can find many cases where a spontaneous wireless ad-hoc network must be built for a limited period of time in a wireless mesh network: meetings, conferences, etc. One of the main aspects in a spontaneous network is to ...

Nuclear Power Plant safety analysis is mainly based on the use of best estimate (BE) codes that predict the plant behavior under normal or accidental conditions. As the BE codes introduce uncertainties due to uncertainty ...
The generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) and the lifting technique combined with the Kronecker product are exploited to find reflexive and anti-reflexive (with respect to a generalized k+1-reflection matrix P) ...
