Simulation of the oxygen distribution in a tumor tissue using residual algorithms
Journal Title: Bulletin of Computational Applied Mathematics (Bull CompAMa) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper the use of recent residual algorithms for the simulation of the oxygen distribution in a tumor tissue in 2-D is proposed. The oxygen distribution in a tumor is considered a reaction-diffusion problem in steady state, whose mathematical model is a nonlinear partial differential equation, which is numerically solved using the traditional methods for systems of nonlinear equations (Newton's method, Broyden method, inexact Newton methods, etc.). Unlike of these traditional methods that require the use of derivatives and a large memory storage capacity, the proposed residual algorithms are derivative-free methods with low memory storage. The preliminary numerical results indicate that the proposed methods allows efficiently determine the distribution of oxygen in a tumor tissue to synthetic problems.

Loop topological complexity
We introduce here the notion of loop motion planning algorithms and show that it yields to a homotopical invariant: the loop topological complexity, denoted throughout this paper by $\rm{TC}^{\rm{LP}}(-)$, which measures...
Transitivity of parametric family of cardinality-based fuzzy similarity measures using Lukasiewicz t-norm
In fuzzy logic, where members of a set might be linguistic terms, the degree of reflexivity might be in unit interval [0,1] instead of {0,1}. This behaviour of a fuzzy set plays an important role especially in the field...

We use the segmented formulation of the Tau method to approximate the solutions of a family of linear and nonlinear neutral delay differential equations \begin{eqnarray} \nonumber a_1(t)y'(t) & = & y(t)[a_2(t)y(t-\ta...
Redox reactions as experimental examples of ternary weak algebraic hyperstructures
A ternary hyperoperation on a set H is a 3-ary hyperoperation, which associates a subset of H with any three elements of H. In this paper, we give examples of ternary hyperoperations associated with redox reactions. We...

Mimetic finite difference (MFD) approximations of continuous gradient and divergence operators satisfy a discrete version of the Gauss-Divergence theorem on staggered grids. On the mimetic approximation of this integral...
