What was the River Ister in the Time of Strabo' A Mathematical
Approach
- Abstract: We introduce a novel method for map registration and apply it to transformation of the river Ister from Strabo’s map of the World to the current map in the World Geodetic System. This transformation leads to the surprising but convincing result that Strabo’s river Ister best coincides with the nowadays Tauernbach-Isel-Drava-Danube course and not with the Danube river what is commonly assumed. Such a result is supported by carefully designed mathematical measurements and it resolves all related controversies otherwise appearing in understanding and translation of Strabo’s original text. Based on this result, we also show that Strabo’s Suevi in the Hercynian Forest corresponds to the Slavic people in the Carpathian-Alpine basin and thus that the compact Slavic settlement was there already at the beginning of the first millennium AD.

Oscillation Results for Third-Order Quasi-Linear Emden-Fowler Differential
Equations with Unbounded Neutral Coefficients
- Abstract: Some new oscillation criteria are obtained for a class of thirdorder quasi-linear Emden-Fowler differential equations with unbounded neutral coefficients of the form(a(t)(z″(t))α)′+f(t)yλ(g(t))=0,\[(a(t){(z(t))^\alpha })' + f(t){y^\lambda }(g(t)) = 0,\] where z(t) = y(t) + p(t)y(σ(t)) and α, λ are ratios of odd positive integers. The established results generalize, improve and complement to known results.

Finite Volume Schemes for the Affine Morphological Scale Space (Amss)
Model
- Abstract: Finite volume (FV) numerical schemes for the approximation of Affine Morphological Scale Space (AMSS) model are proposed. For the scheme parameter θ, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 1 the numerical schemes of Crank-Nicolson type were derived. The explicit (θ = 0), semi-implicit, fully-implicit (θ = 1) and Crank-Nicolson (θ = 0.5) schemes were studied. Stability estimates for explicit and implicit schemes were derived. On several numerical experiments the properties and comparison of the numerical schemes are presented.

Improvement and Handling of the Segmentation Model with an Inflation Term
- Abstract: The use of balloon models to address the problems of “snakes” based models was introduced by Laurent D. Cohen. This paper presents a geodesic active contours model with a modified external force term that includes a balloon model. This balloon model makes the segmentation surface to behave like a balloon inflated by the external forces. In this paper, we show an automatic way to control the behaviour of the external force with respect to the segmentation evolution. The external forces, comprised of edge and inflation terms, push the segmentation surface to edges, while curvature regularizes the evolution. As segmentation evolves, the influence of the applied inflation force is determined by how close we are to the edges. With this setup, the initial segmentation does not need to be close to the object’s edges, instead it is inflated by the balloon model towards the edges. Closer to the edges, the influence of the inflation force is adjusted accordingly. The force’s influence is completely turned off when the evolution is stable (reached the edges), then only the curvature and edge information is used to evolve the segmentation.This approach solves the issues associated with inclusion of balloon model. These issues are that the inflation force can overpower forces from weak edges, or they can cause the contour to be slightly larger than the actual minima. We present examples of the improved model for segmentation of human bladder images. Weak edges are more prevalent in medical images, and the automated handling of the inflation forces gives promising results for this kind of images.

A Quintic Spline Collocation Method for Solving Time-Dependent
Convection-Diffusion Problems
- Abstract: In this paper, we develop a new numerical algorithm for solving a time dependent convection-diffusion equation with Dirichlet’s type boundary conditions. The method comprises the horizontal method of lines for time integration and (θ-method, θ ∈ [1/2, 1] (θ = 1 corresponds to the backward Euler method and θ = 1/2 corresponds to the Crank-Nicolson method) to discretize in temporal direction and the quintic spline collocation method. The convergence analysis of proposed method is discussed in detail, and it justified that the approximate solution converges to the exact solution of orders O(Δt + h3) for the backward Euler method and O(Δt2 + h3) for the Crank-Nicolson method, where Δt and h are mesh sizes in the time and space directions, respectively. It is also shown that the proposed method is unconditionally stable. This scheme is applied on some test examples, the numerical results illustrate the efficiency of the method and confirm the theoretical behaviour of the rates of convergence. Results shown by this method are in good agreement with the known exact solutions. The produced results are also more accurate than some available results given in the literature.

Solving Nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm Integral Equations using an Accurate
Spectral Collocation Method
- Abstract: In this paper, we present a Jacobi spectral collocation method to solve nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations with smooth kernels. The main idea in this approach is to convert the original problem into an equivalent one through appropriate variable transformations so that the resulting equation can be accurately solved using spectral collocation at the Jacobi-Gauss points. The convergence and error analysis are discussed for both L∞ and weighted L2 norms. We confirm the theoretical prediction of the exponential rate of convergence by the numerical results which are compared with well-known methods.

Application of the Extended Fan Sub-Equation Method to Time Fractional
Burgers-Fisher Equation
- Abstract: In this paper, the extended Fan sub-equation method to obtain the exact solutions of the generalized time fractional Burgers-Fisher equation is applied. By applying this method, we obtain different solutions that are benefit to further comprise the concepts of complex nonlinear physical phenomena. This method is simple and can be applied to several nonlinear equations. Fractional derivatives are taken in the sense of Jumarie’s modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. A comparative study with the other methods approves the validity and effectiveness of the technique, and on the other hand, for suitable parameter values, we plot 2D and 3D graphics of the exact solutions by using the extended Fan sub-equation method. In this work, we use Mathematica for computations and programming.

Illustrative examples are given to show the validity of the theoretical results.

Controllability of Nonlocal Impulsive Functional Differential Equations
with Measure of Noncompactness in Banach Spaces
- Abstract: This paper is concerned with the controllability of impulsive differential equations with nonlocal conditions. First, we establish a property of measure of noncompactness in the space of piecewise continuous functions. Then, by using this property and Darbo-Sadovskii’s Fixed Point Theorem, we get the controllability of nonlocal impulsive differential equations under compactness conditions, Lipschitz conditions and mixed-type conditions, respectively.

The sufficient conditions for the existence of an asymptotically periodic solution of the above system, are established. Here sequences (pi(n)), i = 1,..., m, are bounded away from -1. The presented results are illustrated by theoretical and numerical examples.

The result is illustrated with an example.
