The main objective of the present paper is to investigate, by means of a boundary value problem permitting a semi-analytic solution, qualitative behaviour of solutions for two pressure-dependent yield criteria used for plastically incompressible polymers. The study mainly focuses on the regime of friction (sticking and sliding). It is shown that the existence of the solution satisfying the regime of sticking depends on other boundary conditions. In particular, there is such a class of boundary conditions depending on the yield criterion adopted that the regime of sliding is required for the existence of the solution independently of the friction law.

Dirichlet boundary value problems originated from unsteady deep water wave propagation are transformed to Boundary Intergral Equation Methods by use of a free surface Green's function and the integral equations are discretized by a cubic spline element method. In order to enhance the stability of the numerical model based on the derived Fredholm integral equation of 1 st kind, the method by Hsiao and MacCamy (1973) is employed. The numerical model is tested against exact solutions for two cases and the model shows very good accuracy.

Based on the notion of $q_k$-derivative introduced by the authors in [17], we prove in this paper existence and uniqueness results for nonlinear second-order impulsive $q_k$-difference equations with anti-periodic boundary conditions. Two results are obtained by applying Banach's contraction mapping principle and Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem. Some examples are presented to illustrate the results.

In this paper, we consider two types of fractional boundary value problems, one of them is an implicit type and the other will be an integro-differential type with nonlocal integral multi-point boundary conditions in the frame of generalized Hilfer fractional derivatives. The existence and uniqueness results are acquired by applying Krasnoselskii's and Banach's fixed point theorems. Some various numerical examples are provided to illustrate and validate our results. Moreover, we get some results in the literature as a special case of our current results.

In this paper, a continuum-based design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method is developed for the weakly coupled thermo-elasticity problems. The temperature and displacement fields are described in a common domain. Boundary value problems such as an equilibrium equation and a heat conduction equation in steady state are considered. The direct differentiation method of continuum-based DSA is employed to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of sensitivity computation. We derive design sensitivity expressions with respect to thermal conductivity in heat conduction problem and Young's modulus in equilibrium equation. The sensitivities are evaluated using the finite element method. The obtained analytical sensitivities are compared with the finite differencing to yield very accurate results. Extensive developments of this method are useful and applicable for the optimal design problems incorporating welding and thermal deformation problems.

In this paper, the TM (Transverse Magnetic) scattering problems by a perfectly conducting strip grating over a grounded two dielectric layers with edge boundary condition are analyzed by applying the FGMM (Fourier Galerkin Moment Method). For the TM scattering problem, the induced surface current density is expected to the very high value at both edges of the strip, then the induced surface current density on the conductive strip is expanded in a series of the multiplication of the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and the functions of appropriate edge boundary condition. Generally, when the value of the relative permittivity of dielectric layers over the ground plane increased, the strip width according to the sharp variation points of the reflected power is shifted to a higher value. The numerical results shown the fast convergent solution and good agreement compared to those of the existing papers.

This is a survey on American options. An American option allows its owner the privilege of early exercise, whereas a European option can be exercised only at expiration. Because of this early exercise privilege American option pricing involves an optimal stopping problem; the price of an American option is given as a free boundary value problem associated with a Black-Scholes type partial differential equation. Up until now there is no simple closed-form solution to the problem, but there have been a variety of approaches which contribute to the understanding of the properties of the price and the early exercise boundary. These approaches typically provide numerical or approximate analytic methods to find the price and the boundary. Topics included in this survey are early approaches(trees, finite difference schemes, and quasi-analytic methods), an analytic method of lines and randomization, a homotopy method, analytic approximation of early exercise boundaries, Monte Carlo methods, and relatively recent topics such as model uncertainty, backward stochastic differential equations, and real options. We also provide open problems whose answers are expected to contribute to American option pricing.

Kirsi Majava and Xue-Cheng Tai [12] proposed a modified level set method for solving a free boundary problem associated with unilateral obstacle problems. The proximal bundle method and gradient method were applied to solve the nonsmooth minimization problems and the regularized problem, respectively. In this paper, we extend this approach to solve the bilateral obstacle problems and employ Rung-Kutta method to solve the initial value problem derived from the regularized problem. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the efficiency of the methods.

In this paper, The TE(transverse electric) scattering problems by a resistive strip grating over a grounded dielectric plane with edge boundary condition are analyzed by applying the FGMM(Fourier-Galerkin Moment Method) known as a numerical procedure. For a TE scattering problem, the induced surface current density is expected to the zero value at both edges of the resistive strip, then the induced surface current density on the resistive strip is expanded in a series of the multiplication of Gegenbauer(Ultraspherical) polynomials with the first order and functions of appropriate edge boundary condition. To verify the validity of the proposed method, the numerical results of normalized reflected power for the uniform resistivity R = 100 ohms/square and R = 0 as a conductive strip case show in good agreement with those in the existing papers.
