Tests in animals are used as models in toxicological and investigative studies. However, such tests have been considered inhumane because they can cause pain and suffering to experimental animals, while these methods can ...

A new approach to solving the Optimal Power Flow problem is described, making use of some recent findings, especially in the area of primal-dual methods for complex programming. In this approach, equality constraints are ...

Minimum residual methods such as the least-squares finite element method (FEM) or the discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) method with optimal test functions usually exclude singular data, e.g., non-square-integrable loads. ...

In an abstract setting, we investigate the basic ideas behind the Multiscale Hybrid Mixed (MHM) method, a Domain Decomposition scheme designed to solve multiscale partial differential equations (PDEs) in parallel. As ...

An improved meshless method is presented with an emphasis on the detailed description of this new computational technique and its numerical implementations by investigating the usefulness of a commonly neglected parameter ...
