    Homotopy Perturbation Method with an Auxiliary Term

    Get PDF
    The two most important steps in application of the homotopy perturbation method are to construct a suitable homotopy equation and to choose a suitable initial guess. The homotopy equation should be such constructed that when the homotopy parameter is zero, it can approximately describe the solution property, and the initial solution can be chosen with an unknown parameter, which is determined after one or two iterations. This paper suggests an alternative approach to construction of the homotopy equation with an auxiliary term; Dufing equation is used as an example to illustrate the solution procedure

    Gapped spin liquid with Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-topological order for kagome Heisenberg model

    We apply symmetric tensor network state (TNS) to study the nearest neighbor spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on Kagome lattice. Our method keeps track of the global and gauge symmetries in TNS update procedure and in tensor renormalization group (TRG) calculation. We also introduce a very sensitive probe for the gap of the ground state -- the modular matrices, which can also determine the topological order if the ground state is gapped. We find that the ground state of Heisenberg model on Kagome lattice is a gapped spin liquid with the Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-topological order (or toric code type), which has a long correlation length ξ10\xi\sim 10 unit cell length. We justify that the TRG method can handle very large systems with over thousands of spins. Such a long ξ\xi explains the gapless behaviors observed in simulations on smaller systems with less than 300 spins or shorter than 10 unit cell length. We also discuss experimental implications of the topological excitations encoded in our symmetric tensors.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure

    A GOOD INITIAL GUESS FOR APPROXIMATING NONLINEAR OSCILLATORS BY THE HOMOTOPY PERTURBATION METHOD

    Get PDF
    A good initial guess and an appropriate homotopy equation are two main factors in applications of the homotopy perturbation method. For a nonlinear oscillator, a cosine function is used in an initial guess. This article recommends a general approach to construction of the initial guess and the homotopy equation. Duffing oscillator is adopted as an example to elucidate the effectiveness of the method

    THE ENHANCED HOMOTOPY PERTURBATION METHOD FOR AXIAL VIBRATION OF STRINGS

    Get PDF
    A governing equation is established for string axial vibrations with temporal and spatial damping forces by the Hamilton principle. It is an extension of the well-known Klein-Gordon equation. The classical homotopy perturbation method (HPM) fails to analyze this equation, and a modification with an exponential decay parameter is suggested. The analysis shows that the amplitude behaves as an exponential decay by the damping parameter. Furthermore, the frequency equation is established and the stability condition is performed. The modified homotopy perturbation method yields a more effective result for the nonlinear oscillators and helps to overcome the shortcoming of the classical approach. The comparison between the analytical solution and the numerical solution shows an excellent agreement

    THE CARBON NANOTUBE-EMBEDDED BOUNDARY LAYER THEORY FOR ENERGY HARVESTING

    Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs) are gaining appeal in mechanical engineering and industrial applications due to their direct influence on enhancing the thermal conductivity of base fluids. With such intriguing properties of carbon nanotubes in mind, our goal in this work is to investigate radiation effects on the flow of carbon nanotube suspended nanofluids in the presence of a magnetic field past a stretched sheet impacted by slip state. CNTs flow and heat transmission are frequently modelled in practice using nonlinear differential equation systems. This system has been precisely solved, and an accurate analytical expression for the fluid velocity in terms of an exponential function has been derived, while the temperature distribution is stated in terms of a confluent hypergeometric function. The impact of the radiation parameter, slip parameter, sloid volume fraction, magnetic parameter, Eckart and Prandtl numbers on the velocity, temperature, and heat transfer rate profiles are demonstrated using a parametric analysis. When compared to the two types of nanoparticles (Cooper and Silver) in earlier published articles, temperature profiles for single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs) are revealed to be particularly sensitive to radiation, solid volume fraction, and slip parameters. Nanomechanical gears, nanosensors, nanocomposite materials, resonators, and thermal materials are only a few of the present problem's technical applications

    PULL-DOWN INSTABILITY OF THE QUADRATIC NONLINEAR OSCILLATORS

    Get PDF
    A nonlinear vibration system, over a span of convincing periodic motion, might break out abruptly a catastrophic instability, but the lack of a theoretical tool has obscured the prediction of the outbreak. This paper deploys the amplitude-frequency formulation for nonlinear oscillators to reveal the critically important mechanism of the pseudo-periodic motion, and finds the quadratic nonlinear force contributes to the pull-down phenomenon in each cycle of the periodic motion, when the force reaches a threshold value, the pull-down instability occurs. A criterion for prediction of the pull-down instability is proposed and verified numerically

    FORCED NONLINEAR OSCILLATOR IN A FRACTAL SPACE

    A critical hurdle of a nonlinear vibration system in a fractal space is the inefficiency in modelling the system. Specifically, the differential equation models cannot elucidate the effect of porosity size and distribution of the periodic property. This paper establishes a fractal-differential model for this purpose, and a fractal Duffing-Van der Pol oscillator (DVdP) with two-scale fractal derivatives and a forced term is considered as an example to reveal the basic properties of the fractal oscillator. Utilizing the two-scale transforms and He-Laplace method, an analytic approximate solution may be attained. Unfortunately, this solution is not physically preferred. It has to be modified along with the nonlinear frequency analysis, and the stability criterion for the equation under consideration is obtained. On the other hand, the linearized stability theory is employed in the autonomous arrangement. Consequently, the phase portraits around the equilibrium points are sketched. For the non-autonomous organization, the stability criteria are analyzed via the multiple time scales technique. Numerical estimations are designed to confirm graphically the analytical approximate solutions as well as the stability configuration. It is revealed that the exciting external force parameter plays a destabilizing role. Furthermore, both of the frequency of the excited force and the stiffness parameter, execute a dual role in the stability picture

    LI-HE’S MODIFIED HOMOTOPY PERTURBATION METHOD FOR DOUBLY-CLAMPED ELECTRICALLY ACTUATED MICROBEAMS-BASED MICROELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEM

    Get PDF
    This paper highlights Li-He’s approach in which the enhanced perturbation method is linked with the parameter expansion technology in order to obtain frequency amplitude formulation of electrically actuated microbeams-based microelectromechanical system (MEMS). The governing equation is a second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The obtained results are compared with the solution achieved numerically by the Runge-Kutta (RK) method that shows the effectiveness of this variation in the homotopy perturbation method (HPM)

    Topological vacuum fluctuation and Dvoretzky‘s theorem – Mathematical proofs in the context of the dark energy density of the universe

    Get PDF
    Starting from the initial triality of physics, namely mathematical philosophy, transfinite set theory and number theory we drive the inevitability of a topological quantum vacuum fluctuation of spacetime resulting in the fundamental reality of pair creation and annihilation. Subsequently we give a simple but strong mathematical proof of Dvoretzky‘s marvellous theorem on measure concentration, thus making dark energy and accelerated cosmic expansion not only an astrophysical measurement and observational reality, but also a plausible topological-geometrical fact of a pointless Cantorian actual universe akin to the Penrose fractal tiling space. This space is described accurately via the von Neumann-Conne noncommutative geometry using their golden mean dimensional function and the corresponding bijection of E-infinity theory. The said theory was developed by the authors of the present paper and their group and is based on and starts from the pioneering efforts of the Canadian physicist G. Ord and the French astrophysicist L. Nottale
