An analysis of the entire structure is often prohibitively costly. Through illustrative examples, the essential features of an analysis scheme exploiting the geometric periodicity are brought out. Avoiding much of the mathematics, the underlying principle (termed the 'e iψ relationship') for both static and dynamic analysis is explained. The parallel to the special case of axisymmetric structures is drawn.","PeriodicalId":136398,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Applied Numerical Methods","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131155458","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}

Cooke","doi":"10.1002/CNM.1630060408","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/CNM.1630060408","url":null,"abstract":"Operator splitting for evolution equations which involve non-linear differential operators is investigated. The occurrence of third-orderaccurate multifactor splittings which are characterized by all-positive fractional steps and which involve at most four factors is discovered. This result is surprising, as a recent investigation by Sheng (1989), of evolution equations involving general linear operators, establishes that no third-orderaccurate factional-step splitting having all-positive fractional steps exists, regardless of the number of factors attempted. However, the present investigation indicates it is unlikely that Sheng's result has much bearing on the existence of positive-step splittings for non-linear equations. In addition to the result mentioned above, with n = 3, 4, 5, another case is exhibited of a non-linear equation which permits all-positive step, n-thorder splittings requiring only n + 1 factors. Indeed, a pathological case is examined of a partial differential equation with an annihilating operator which permits k-factor, nth-order splittings, for k > 1 and n > 1. Thus, for the non-linear case, one should expect only the unexpected. Finally, the idea of equivalent splittings for linear aganist non-linear equations is considered. For a particular equation, all splittings having five factors or less, which are obtained by considering a linearization are shown applicable also to the non-linear case. However, there exists a four-factor all-positive step splitting of the non-linear equation which is not discovered by the linearized approach.","PeriodicalId":136398,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Applied Numerical Methods","volume":"375 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129765102","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}
