The initial density of the medium and initial magnetic field are assumed to be constant. It is investigated that the presence of the magnetic field or the non-idealness of the gas decays the shock wave, and when the initial magnetic field is strong the non-idealness of the gas affects the velocity and pressure profiles significantly. Also, it is observed that the flow-variables behind the shock are affected significantly, by an increase in the parameter of radiation, when the initial magnetic field is strong. It is, therefore, inferred that the effect of the non-idealness of the gas and of the monochromatic radiation on the shock propagation become more significant when the strength of the initial magnetic field is increased.","PeriodicalId":49251,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71250768","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}

A nonlinear deterministic mathematical model for the problem is proposed and analysed qualitatively using the stability theory of differential equations. Local stability of the disease free equilibrium of the model was established by the next generation method. The results show that the disease free equilibrium is locally stable at threshold parameter less than unity and unstable at threshold parameter greater than unity. Globally, the disease free equilibrium is not stable due existence of forward bifurcation at threshold parameter equal to unity. However, it is shown that using treatment measures (ARVs) and control of the rate of vertical transmission have the effect of reducing the transmission of the disease significantly. Numerical simulation of the model is implemented to investigate the sensitivity of certain key parameters on the spread of the disease.","PeriodicalId":49251,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71250946","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}

The nonlinear problem is converted into a sequence of linear problems by quasilinearization process. After linearization, it is divided into two problems, namely inner region problem and outer region problem. The boundary condition at the cutting point is obtained from the theory of singular perturbations. Using stretching transformation, a modified inner region problem is constructed and is solved by using the upwind finite difference scheme. The outer region problem is solved by a Taylor polynomial approach. We combine the solutions of both problems to obtain an approximate solution of the original problem. The proposed method is iterative on the cutting point. The process is repeated for various choices of the cutting point, until the solution profiles stabilize. Some numerical examples have been solved to demonstrate the applicability of the method. The method is analyzed for stability and convergence.","PeriodicalId":49251,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71250750","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}

The time continuity and the parametric continuity of this operator are important and valuable factors for physical considerations as well as designing well-posed identification methodologies. In most of the researches conducted about the modeling of smart actuators by KP model, especially SMA actuators, only the ability of the KP model in characterizing the hysteretic behavior of the actuators is demonstrated with respect to some specified experimental data and the accuracy of the developed model with respect to other data is not vali- dated. Therefore, it is not clear whether the developed model is capable of predicting hysteresis minor loops of those ac- tuators or not and how accurate it is in this prediction task. In this paper the accuracy of the KP model in predicting SMA hysteresis minor loops as well as first order ascending curves attached to the major hysteresis loop are experimentally vali- dated, while the parameters of the KP model has been identified only with some first order descending reversal curves at- tached to the major loop. The results show that, in the worst case, the maximum of prediction error is less than 18.2% of the maximum output and this demonstrates the powerful capability of the KP model in characterizing the hysteresis nonlinear- ity of SMA actuators.","PeriodicalId":49251,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Mathematics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71250249","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}
