Iterative Algorithm for the Effects of Atmospheric Refraction on the Equatorial Coordinates of a Star Valid for any Zenith Distance
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN MATHEMATICS - Year 2014, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present paper an efficient algorithm will be established for the effects of atmospheric refraction on the equatorial coordinates of a star valid for any zenith distance The algorithm uses two new iterative schemes, the first is linear iterative scheme for the equatorial coordinates due to atmospheric refraction. The second is the quadratic Newton iterative scheme for obtaining the true zenith distance from Bennent formulae for the atmospheric refraction. Description of the algorithm was also given together with numerical applications.

Efficient Simple Tests For Primality
The tests form a general method to decide whether a given positive odd integer is composite or prime. The tests are based on the divisibility properties of the sum of two squared positive integers. The algorithms compris...

An Existence Theorem for Quasi-Variational Inequalities
A class of set-valued quasi-variational inequalities is studied in Banach spaces. The concept of QVI was earlier introduced by A. Bensoussan and J. L. Lions [4]. In this paper we give a generalization of the existence th...
