In the present paper, we present method to solve a Fractional Bulk Transportation Problem(FBTP) in which the numerator is quadratic in nature and the denominator is linear. A related (FBTP) is formed whose feasible solutions are ranked to reach an optimal solution of the given problem. The method to find these feasible solutions makes use of parametric programming wherein a series of Ordinary Bulk Transportation Problems are solved by the usual methods.

In this work, we investigate the existence of the extremal solutions for a class of fractional partial differential equations with order 1 < ${\alpha}$ < 2 by upper and lower solution method. Using the theory of Hausdorff measure of noncompactness, a series of results about the solutions to such differential equations is obtained.

It has been well known that the Grad thirteen-moment equations have solutions only when the Mach number is less than a limiting value for the stationary plane shock-waves. The limit of Mach number has been re-examined by including successive terms in the series expansion of distribution function. The method employed is the linear analysis of moment equations near up-streaming and down-streaming flows. For the thirteen moment case, it has been confirmed that equations have solutions only when the Mach number is less than 1.6503, which is consistent with the literature value. For the case of twenty moments, the limit of Mach number is decreased to 1.3416.

Voltage sags are one of the most frequently occurring power quality problems challenging power systems today. The Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) is one of the major custom power solutions that are capable of mitigating the effect of supply voltage sags at the load or Point of Common Coupling (PCC). A UPQC-Q employs a control method in which the series compensator injects a voltage that leads the supply current by $90^{\circ}C$ so that the series compensator at steady state consumes no active power. However, the UPQC-Q has the disadvantage that its series compensator needs to be overrated. Thus it cannot offer effective compensation. This paper proposes a new control scheme for the UPQC-Q that offers minimum power injection. The proposed minimum power injection method takes into consideration the limits on the rated voltage capacity of the series compensator and its control scheme. The validity of the proposed control scheme is investigated through simulation and experimental results.

This paper proposes a numerical method of motion planning for manipulators using Foruier series. For a redundant manipulator, we predetermine the trajectories of redundant joints in terms of the Nth partial sum of the fourier series. then the optimal coefficients of the fourier series are searched by the Powell's method. For a nonredundant or redundant manipulator, CS02T-continuous smooth joint trajectory for a point-to-point task can be obtained while considering the frequency response. We apply the proposed method to the 3-link planar manipulator and the PUMA 560 manipulator. To show the validity of the proposed method, we analyze solutions by the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Also, several features are discussed to obtain an optimal solution.

The classical equation of Jonathan Homer Lane and Robert Emden, a nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equation, models the isothermal spherical clouded gases under the influence of the mutual attractive interaction between the gases' molecules. In this paper, the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is presented to obtain highly accurate and reliable analytical solutions of a class of generalised Lane-Emden equations with strong nonlinearities. The nonlinear term f(y(x)) of the proposed problem is given by the integer powers of a continuous real-valued function h(y(x)), that is, f(y(x)) = h^m(y(x)), for integer m ≥ 0, real x > 0. In the end, numerical comparisons are presented between the analytical results obtained using the ADM and numerical solutions using the eighth-order nested second derivative two-step Runge-Kutta method (NSDTSRKM) to illustrate the reliability, accuracy, effectiveness and convenience of the proposed methods. The special cases h(y) = sin y(x), cos y(x); h(y) = sinh y(x), cosh y(x) are considered explicitly using both methods. Interestingly, in each of these methods, a unified result is presented for an integer power of any continuous real-valued function - compared with the case by case computations for the nonlinear functions f(y). The results presented in this paper are a generalisation of several published results. Several examples are given to illustrate the proposed methods. Tables of expansion coefficients of the series solutions of some special Lane-Emden type equations are presented. Comparisons of the two results indicate that both methods are reliably and accurately efficient in solving a class of singular strongly nonlinear ordinary differential equations.

The existing analytical solutions for rectangular plates with three edges clamped and the other free are derived based on nondimensional differential equation and their characteristics are analyzed. Since Timoshenko and Woinowsky-Krieger's method (1959) can give solutions for the case limited to the aspect ratio of the plates less than one, this method are proved to be impractical for the bending moment calculation of the plates under consideration. Horii and Moto's method(1968) are modified by adding stabilizing terms to suppress overflow in the matrix computation, from which the series solution with maximum 150 terms can be obtained. By use of the series solution the convergence of computed bending moments is tested. The modified method can be shown to calculate the deflection properties for the plates with wide range of aspect ratios, but the computed x moment at the corner points formed by the free edge and the clamped edges can not satisfy the boundary condition and the cause of problem is discussed in detail.

The hydrodynamic radiation forces acting on a ship travelling in waves have been conventionally treated by strip theories or by direct three dimensional approaches, most of which have been formulated in frequency domain. If the forward speed of a ship varies with time, or if its path is not a straight line, conventional frequency domain analysis can no more be used, and for these cases time domain analysis may be used. In this paper, formulations are made in time domain with applications to some problems the results of which are known in frequency domain. And the results of both domains are compared to show the characteristics and validity of time domain solutions. The radiation forces acting on a three dimensional body within the framework of a linear theory. If the linearity of entire system is assumed, radiation forces due to arbitrary ship motions can be expressed by the convolution integral of the arbitrary motion velocity and the so called impulse response function. Numerical calculations are done for some bodies of simple shapes and Series-60[$C_B=0.7$] ship model. For all cases, integral equation techniques with transient Green's function are used, and velocity or acceleration potentials are obtained as the solution of the integral equations. In liner systems, time domain solutions are related with frequency domain solutions by Fourier transform. Therefore time domain solutions are Fourier transformed by suitable relations and the results are compared with various frequency domain solutions, which show good agreements.

The direct calculation method is generalized to the excited-state diffusion-influenced reversible reaction of a neutral and a charged particle under an external field with two different lifetimes and quenching in three dimensions. The present method provides an alternative way to calculate the binding probability density functions and the survival probabilities from the corresponding irreversible results. The solutions are obtained as the series solutions by the diagonal approximation due to the anisotropy of the unidirectional external field. The numerical results are found to be in good agreement with those of the previous study [S. Y. Reigh et al. J. Chem. Phys. 132, 164112 (2010)] within a weak field limit. The solutions of two approaches show qualitatively the same overall behavior including the power laws at long times.

In the discrete optimum design, occasionally, the solutions oscillate between the feasible and the infeasible resions during the series of redesigns of members with discrete sections. This phenomenon may be caused inherently by the discontinuity of variables of commercially available sections in the database. In this paper, in-depth investigation into the oscillation in the discrete optimization and its control has been conducted. When the structure is optimized through element optimization, the oscillation can be divided into two categories, local and global oscillations. An algorithm which controls these phenomena is suggested and numerical examples demonstrate the oscillation in optimum solutions and the effectiveness of the control strategy suggested here.
