  • The anisotropic-diffusion convection equation with exponentially variable coefficients is discussed in this paper. Numerical solutions are found using a combined Laplace transform and boundary element method. The variable coefficients equation is usually used to model problems of functionally graded media. First the variable coefficients equation is transformed to a constant coefficients equation. The constant coefficients equation is then Laplace-transformed so that the time variable vanishes. The Laplace-transformed equation is consequently written as a boundary integral equation which involves a time-free fundamental solution. The boundary integral equation is therefore employed to find numerical solutions using a standard boundary element method. Finally the results obtained are inversely transformed numerically using the Stehfest formula to get solutions in the time variable. The combined Laplace transform and boundary element method are easy to implement and accurate for solving unsteady problems of anisotropic exponentially graded media governed by the diffusion convection equation.

  • This paper is concerned with suggesting a Bayesian method for variable selection in multinomial logit model. It is based upon an optimal rule suggested by use of Bayes rule which minimizes a risk induced by selecting the multinomial logit model. The rule is to find a subset of variables that maximizes the marginal likelihood of the model. We also propose a Laplace-Metropolis algorithm intended to suggest a simple method forestimating the marginal likelihood of the model. Based upon two examples, artificial data and empirical data examples, the Bayesian method is illustrated and its efficiency is examined.

  • We consider estimation of the right-tail probability in a log-Laplace random variable, As we derive the density of ratio of two independent log-Laplace random variables, the k-th moment of the ratio is represented by a special mathematical function. and hence variance of the ratio can be represented by a psi-function.

  • In this paper, we apply Homotopy perturbation transform method (HPTM) for solving singular fourth order parabolic partial differential equations with variable coefficients. This method is the combination of the Laplace transform method and Homotopy perturbation method. The nonlinear terms can be easily handled by the use of He's polynomials. The aim of using the Laplace transform is to overcome the deficiency that is mainly caused by unsatisfied conditions in other semi-analytical methods such as Homotopy perturbation method (HPM), Variational iteration method (VIM) and Adomain Decomposition method (ADM). The proposed scheme finds the solutions without any discretization or restrictive assumptions and avoids the round-off errors. The comparison shows a precise agreement between the results and introduces this method as an applicable one which it needs fewer computations and is much easier and more convenient than others, so it can be widely used in engineering too.

  • The ground for this paper is to examine the generalized Stokes' first and second issues for an incompressible couple pressure liquid under isothermal conditions. Exact solutions for each problem are acquired by using the Laplace transform (LT) with respect to the time variable t and the sine Fourier transform (FT) with respect to the y-variable. Further, a comparison is given of the obtained results and the results of Devakar and Lyengar [1] and by using the four inverse Laplace transform algorithms (Stehfest's, Tzou's, Talbot, Fourier series) in the space time domain utilizing a numerical methodology. Moreover, velocity profiles are plotted and considered for various occasions and distinctive estimations of couple stress parameters. At the end, the outcomes are exhibited by graphs and in tabular forms.

  • This paper is concerned with suggesting a Bayesian method for variable selection in generalized logit model. It is based on Laplace-Metropolis algorithm intended to propose a simple method for estimating the marginal likelihood of the model. The algorithm then leads to a criterion for the selection of variables. The criterion is to find a subset of variables that maximizes the marginal likelihood of the model and it is seen to be a Bayes rule in a sense that it minimizes the risk of the variable selection under 0-1 loss function. Based upon two examples, the suggested method is illustrated and compared with existing frequentist methods.

  • The dynamic response of a finite length thermo-piezoelectric rod with variable material properties is investigated in the context of the fractional order theory of thermoelasticity. The rod is subjected to a moving heat source and fixed at both ends. The governing equations are formulated and then solved by means of Laplace transform together with its numerical inversion. The results of the non-dimensional temperature, displacement and stress in the rod are obtained and illustrated graphically. Meanwhile, the effects of the fractional order parameter, the velocity of heat source and the variable material properties on the variations of the considered variables are presented, and the results show that they significantly influence the variations of the considered variables.

  • The model of two-temperature magneto-thermoelasticity for a non-simple variable-thermal-conductivity infinitely-long solid cylinder is established. The present cylinder is made of an isotropic homogeneous thermoelastic material and its bounding plane is traction-free and subjected to a time-dependent temperature. An exact solution is firstly obtained in Laplace transform space to obtain the displacement, incremental temperature, and thermal stresses. The inversion of Laplace transforms has been carried out numerically since the response is of more interest in the transient state. A detailed analysis of the effects of phase-lags, an angular frequency of thermal vibration and the variability of thermal conductivity parameter on the field quantities is presented.

  • A time fractional advection-dispersion equation is Obtained from the standard advection-dispersion equation by replacing the firstorder derivative in time by a fractional derivative in time of order ${\alpha}$(0 < ${\alpha}$ $\leq$ 1). Using variable transformation, Mellin and Laplace transforms, and properties of H-functions, we derive the complete solution of this time fractional advection-dispersion equation.

  • To improve the modeling accuracy for the finite element method, this paper proposes a method to make a combined use of finite elements and exact dynamic elements. Exact interpolation functions for a Timoshenko beam element are derived and compared with interpolation functions of the finite element method (FEM). The exact interpolation functions are tested with the Laplace variable varied. The exact interpolation functions are used to gain more accurate mode shape functions for the finite element method. This paper also presents a combined use of finite elements and exact dynamic elements in design problems. A Timoshenko frame with tapered sections is tested to demonstrate the design procedure with the proposed method.
