Direct integration of the third-order two point and multipoint Robin type boundary value problems Math. Comput. Simul. (IF 1.62) Pub Date : 2020-11-12 Nadirah Mohd Nasir; Zanariah Abdul Majid; Fudziah Ismail; Norfifah Bachok
This numerical study exclusively focused on the direct two point diagonally multistep block method of order four (2DDM4) in the form of Adams-type formulas. The proposed predictor–corrector scheme was applied in this study to compute two equally spaced numerical solutions for the third-order two point and multipoint boundary value problems (BVPs) subject to Robin boundary conditions concurrently at

A loss-averse retailer–supplier supply chain model under trade credit in a supplier-Stackelberg game Math. Comput. Simul. (IF 1.62) Pub Date : 2020-11-09 Chengfeng Wu; Xin Liu; Annan Li
At present, the research on relevant decision-making considering the loss risk/ default risk in trade credit is on the rise This paper presents a supply chain model with a risk-averse retailer and a supplier offering loss sharing and trade credit in a supplier-Stackelberg game where the decision variables are the optimal order quantity and loss sharing ratio. The model is analyzed and compared to a

Conservation laws of femtosecond pulse propagation described by generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with cubic nonlinearity Math. Comput. Simul. (IF 1.62) Pub Date : 2020-11-16 Vyacheslav A. Trofimov; Svetlana Stepanenko; Alexander Razgulin
We derive conservation laws for so-called generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation (GNLSE), which describes a propagation of super-short femtosecond pulse in a medium with cubic nonlinear response in the framework of slowly-evolving-wave approximation (SEWA). We take into account the beam diffraction, the pulse spreading due to second order dispersion, the pulse self-steepening, as well as mixed
