The Natural Logarithm (e.g logex=lnx) has been established and defined by means of modifying the Euler Definite Integral based on the Rangaig's fomulation. Hence, this transform may solve some different kind of integral and differential equations and it competes with other known transforms like Laplace, Sumudu and Elzaki Transform.

We considered two cases; where the extra contribution rates are stochastic and constant. We considered investment in three different assets namely risk free asset (cash), zero coupon bonds and the risky asset (stock). Using Legendre transformation method and dual theory, we obtained the optimal investment strategies the three investments using exponential utility function for the two cases. The result shows that the strategies for the respective investments used when there is no extra contribution can be used when the extra contribution rate is constant as in [1] but cannot be used when it is stochastic. Clearly this gives the member and the fund manager good insight on how to invest to maximize profit with minimal risk once this condition arises.","PeriodicalId":11162,"journal":{"name":"Differential Equations and Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"33-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74651048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wave equation is a very important equation in applied mathematics with many applications such as wave propagation analysis, acoustics, dynamics, health monitoring and etc. This paper presents to solve the nonlinear 2-D wave equation defined over a rectangular spatial domain with appropriate initial and boundary conditions. Numerical solutions of the governing equations are obtained by using the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). Two-dimension wave equation is a time-domain problem, with three independent variables . At the first the Laplace transform is used to reduce by one the number of independent variables (in the present work ), then Salzer's method which is an effective numerical Laplace transform inversion algorithm is used to recover the solution of the original equation at time domain.
