Numerical Models of Cosmological Evolution of the Degenerated Fermi-system of Scalar Charged Particles

Based on mathematical model of the statistical Fermi system with the interparticle interaction which was constructed in the previous articles, this work offers the construction and analysis of the numerical models of cosmological evolution of the single-component degenerated Fermi system of the scalar particles. The applied mathematics package Mathematica 9 is used for the numerical model construction.Comment: 15 pages, 14 figures, 4 reference

Galois groups of Schubert problems via homotopy computation

Numerical homotopy continuation of solutions to polynomial equations is the foundation for numerical algebraic geometry, whose development has been driven by applications of mathematics. We use numerical homotopy continuation to investigate the problem in pure mathematics of determining Galois groups in the Schubert calculus. For example, we show by direct computation that the Galois group of the Schubert problem of 3-planes in C^8 meeting 15 fixed 5-planes non-trivially is the full symmetric group S_6006.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures. 3 references adde

On a Finite Differnce Scheme For Blow Up Solutions For The Chipot-Weissler Equation

In this paper, we are interested in the numerical analysis of blow up for the Chipot-Weissler equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions in bounded domain. To approximate the blow up solution, we construct a finite difference scheme and we prove that the numerical solution satisfies the same properties of the exact one and blows up in finite time.Comment: 27 pages, 9 figures in Applied Mathematics and Computation (2015

Program Verification in the presence of complex numbers, functions with branch cuts etc

In considering the reliability of numerical programs, it is normal to "limit our study to the semantics dealing with numerical precision" (Martel, 2005). On the other hand, there is a great deal of work on the reliability of programs that essentially ignores the numerics. The thesis of this paper is that there is a class of problems that fall between these two, which could be described as "does the low-level arithmetic implement the high-level mathematics". Many of these problems arise because mathematics, particularly the mathematics of the complex numbers, is more difficult than expected: for example the complex function log is not continuous, writing down a program to compute an inverse function is more complicated than just solving an equation, and many algebraic simplification rules are not universally valid. The good news is that these problems are theoretically capable of being solved, and are practically close to being solved, but not yet solved, in several real-world examples. However, there is still a long way to go before implementations match the theoretical possibilities
