Exponentially fitted fifth-order two-step peer explicit methods

The so called peer methods for the numerical solution of Initial Value Problems (IVP) in ordinary differential systems were introduced by R. Weiner et al [6, 7, 11, 12, 13] for solving different types of problems either in sequential or parallel computers. In this work, we study exponentially fitted three-stage peer schemes that are able to fit functional spaces with dimension six. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented to show the behaviour of the new peer schemes for some periodic problems

Extrapolation-Based Implicit-Explicit Peer Methods with Optimised Stability Regions

In this paper we investigate a new class of implicit-explicit (IMEX) two-step methods of Peer type for systems of ordinary differential equations with both non-stiff and stiff parts included in the source term. An extrapolation approach based on already computed stage values is applied to construct IMEX methods with favourable stability properties. Optimised IMEX-Peer methods of order p = 2, 3, 4, are given as result of a search algorithm carefully designed to balance the size of the stability regions and the extrapolation errors. Numerical experiments and a comparison to other implicit-explicit methods are included.Comment: 21 pages, 6 figure

Extrapolation-Based Super-Convergent Implicit-Explicit Peer Methods with A-stable Implicit Part

In this paper, we extend the implicit-explicit (IMEX) methods of Peer type recently developed in [Lang, Hundsdorfer, J. Comp. Phys., 337:203--215, 2017] to a broader class of two-step methods that allow the construction of super-convergent IMEX-Peer methods with A-stable implicit part. IMEX schemes combine the necessary stability of implicit and low computational costs of explicit methods to efficiently solve systems of ordinary differential equations with both stiff and non-stiff parts included in the source term. To construct super-convergent IMEX-Peer methods with favourable stability properties, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions on the coefficient matrices and apply an extrapolation approach based on already computed stage values. Optimised super-convergent IMEX-Peer methods of order s+1 for s=2,3,4 stages are given as result of a search algorithm carefully designed to balance the size of the stability regions and the extrapolation errors. Numerical experiments and a comparison to other IMEX-Peer methods are included.Comment: 22 pages, 4 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1610.0051

Extrapolation-Based Implicit-Explicit Peer Methods with Optimised Stability Regions

In this paper we investigate an new class of implicit-explicit two-step methods of Peer type for systems of ordinary differential equations with both non-stiff and stiff parts included in the source term. An extrapolation approach based on already computed stage values with equally high consistency order is applied to construct such methods with strong stability properties. Optimised implicit-explicit Peer methods of order p=2,3,4, are given as result of a search algorithm carefully designed to balance the size of the stability regions and the extrapolation errors. Numerical experiments and a comparison to other implicit-explicit methods are included

Two-step peer methods with equation-dependent coefficients

We introduce a new class of explicit two-step peer methods with the aim of improving the stability properties of already existing peer methods, by making use of coefficients depending on the Jacobian of the Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) system to solve. Numerical tests highlight the best stability and accuracy properties of the new methods compared to the classical and equation-dependent ones proposed in Conte et al.

Symbolic regression-based genetic approximations of the Colebrook equation for flow friction

Widely used in hydraulics, the Colebrook equation for flow friction relates implicitly to the input parameters; the Reynolds number, Re and the relative roughness of an inner pipe surface, epsilon/D with an unknown output parameter; the flow friction factor, ; = f (, Re, epsilon/D). In this paper, a few explicit approximations to the Colebrook equation; approximate to f (Re, epsilon/D), are generated using the ability of artificial intelligence to make inner patterns to connect input and output parameters in an explicit way not knowing their nature or the physical law that connects them, but only knowing raw numbers, {Re, epsilon/D}{}. The fact that the used genetic programming tool does not know the structure of the Colebrook equation, which is based on computationally expensive logarithmic law, is used to obtain a better structure of the approximations, which is less demanding for calculation but also enough accurate. All generated approximations have low computational cost because they contain a limited number of logarithmic forms used for normalization of input parameters or for acceleration, but they are also sufficiently accurate. The relative error regarding the friction factor , in in the best case is up to 0.13% with only two logarithmic forms used. As the second logarithm can be accurately approximated by the Pade approximation, practically the same error is obtained also using only one logarithm.Web of Science109art. no. 117

Pitching a business idea to investors: How new venture founders use micro-level rhetoric to achieve narrative plausibility and resonance

For entrepreneurial narratives to be effective, they need to be judged as plausible and have to resonate with an audience. Prior research has, however, not examined or explained how entrepreneurs try to meet these criteria. In this paper, we addressed this question by analysing the micro-level arguments underpinning the pitch narratives of entrepreneurs who joined a business incubator. We discerned four previously unidentified rhetorical strategies that these entrepreneurs used to achieve narrative plausibility and resonance. Our findings further suggest that temporality and product development status may shape how entrepreneurs use these strategies. By outlining these aspects of entrepreneurial rhetoric, we contribute to opening up the black box of narrative resonance and plausibility and advance work on the role of rhetoric in entrepreneurship
