  • In this paper we introduce mathematical modellings in teaching and learning differential equations which were adopted by 2009 revised curriculum. The textbook of 'Advanced Mathematics II' published in 2014 with one publisher includes the content of the second order differential equation y"+y=0 by the power series method. This paper discusses the issue of the power series and gives an alternative method to explain problems of differential equation. Also, we found that the textbook of 'Advanced Mathematics II' used the mechanical system not electrical system in solving differential equation problems. Thus this paper suggests a method using an electric circuit in teaching and learning the first order differential equation. Finally we suggest some terminologies in the teaching and learning of differential equations.

  • The paper deals with the solution of some fractional partial differential equations obtained by substituting modified Riemann-Liouville derivatives for the customary derivatives. This derivative is introduced to avoid using the so-called Caputo fractional derivative which, at the extreme, says that, if you want to get the first derivative of a function you must before have at hand its second derivative. Firstly, one gives a brief background on the fractional Taylor series of nondifferentiable functions and its consequence on the derivative chain rule. Then one considers linear fractional partial differential equations with constant coefficients, and one shows how, in some instances, one can obtain their solutions on bypassing the use of Fourier transform and/or Laplace transform. Later one develops a Lagrange method via characteristics for some linear fractional differential equations with nonconstant coefficients, and involving fractional derivatives of only one order. The key is the fractional Taylor series of non differentiable function $f(x+h)=E_{\alpha}(h^{\alpha}{D_x^{\alpha})f(x)$.

  • Recently many people have studied the Sobolev orthogonal polynomials, that is, polynomials which are orthogonal relative to a symmetric bilinear form $\phi(\cdot,\cdot)$ defined by $$ (1.1) $\phi(p,q) := (p,q)_N = \sum_{k=0}^{N} \int_{R}p^(k) (x)q^(k) (x) d\mu_k, $$ where each $d\mu_k$ is a signed Borel measure on the real line $R$ with finite moments of all orders. For the brief history on this subject, we refer to the survey article Ronveaux [13] and Marcellan and et al [10].

  • In this paper, we establish some oscillation criteria for nonautonomous second order neutral delay dynamic equations $(x(t){\pm}r(t)x({\tau}(t)))^{{\Delta}{\Delta}}+H(t,\;x(h_1(t)),\;x^{\Delta}(h_2(t)))=0$ on a time scale ${\mathbb{T}}$. Oscillatory behavior of such equations is not studied before. This is a first paper concerning these equations. The results are not only can be applied on neutral differential equations when ${\mathbb{T}}={\mathbb{R}}$, neutral delay difference equations when ${\mathbb{T}}={\mathbb{N}}$ and for neutral delay q-difference equations when ${\mathbb{T}}=q^{\mathbb{N}}$ for q>1, but also improved most previous results. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate our main results. These examples arc [lot discussed before and there is no previous theorems determine the oscillatory behavior of such equations.

  • The response statistics of a hinged-clamped beam under broad-band random excitation is investigated. The random excitation is applied at the nodal point of the second mode. By using Galerkin's method the governing equation is reduced to a system of nonautonomous nonlinear ordinary differential equations. A method based upon the Markov vector approach is used to generate a general first-order differential equation in the dynamic moment of response coordinates. By means of the Gaussian and non-Gaussian closure methods the dynamic moment equations for the random responses of the system are reduced to a system of autonomous ordinary differential equations. The case of two mode interaction is considered in order to compare it with the case of three mode interaction. The analytical results for two and three mode interactions are also compared with results obtained by Monte Carlo simulation.

  • A parameter uniform numerical scheme is proposed for solving singularly perturbed parabolic partial differential-difference convection-diffusion equations with a small delay and advance parameters in reaction terms and spatial variable. Taylor's series expansion is applied to approximate problems with the delay and advance terms. The resulting singularly perturbed parabolic convection-diffusion equation is solved by utilizing the implicit Euler method for the temporal discretization and finite difference method for the spatial discretization on a uniform mesh. The proposed numerical scheme is shown to be an ε-uniformly convergent accurate of the first order in time and second-order in space directions. The efficiency of the scheme is proved by some numerical experiments and by comparing the results with other results. It has been found that the proposed numerical scheme gives a more accurate approximate solution than some available numerical methods in the literature.
