On Analytical Solutions of the Fractional Differential Equation with Uncertainty: Application to the Basset Problem

  • Soheil Salahshour,
  • Ali Ahmadian,
  • Norazak Senu,
  • Dumitru Baleanu and
  • Praveen Agarwal

16 February 2015

In this paper, we apply the concept of Caputo’s H-differentiability, constructed based on the generalized Hukuhara difference, to solve the fuzzy fractional differential equation (FFDE) with uncertainty. This is in contrast to conventional solutions...

Thermophysical Characteristics of the Ferrofluid in a Vertical Rectangle

  • Jae-Hyeong Seo,
  • Byoung-Hee You,
  • Sang-Seuk Kwen,
  • Dong-Yeon Lee and
  • Moo-Yeon Lee

16 February 2015

The article aimed to analytically investigate the thermophysical behaviors of a ferrofluid in a vertical rectangle with the variation of intensity of the magnetic field, viscosity of the ferrofluid and boundary conditions. The governing equations of...

For conditional probabilistic knowledge bases with conditionals based on propositional logic, the principle of maximum entropy (ME) is well-established, determining a unique model inductively completing the explicitly given knowledge. On the other ha...

Distributed data collection and analysis over a network are ubiquitous, especially over a wireless sensor network (WSN). To our knowledge, the data model used in most of the distributed algorithms is linear. However, in real applications, the lineari...

Probabilistic Three-Party Sharing of Operation on a Remote Qubit

  • Chuanmei Xie,
  • Yimin Liu,
  • Hang Xing and
  • Zhanjun Zhang

12 February 2015

A probabilistic tripartite single-qubit operation sharing scheme is put forward by utilizing a two-qubit and a three-qubit non-maximally entangled state as quantum channels. Some specific comparisons between our scheme and another probabilistic schem...

The nucleation of cubic boron nitride (cBN) single crystals synthesized with lithium nitride (Li3N) as a catalyst under high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) was analyzed. Many nanometer-sized cubic boron nitride nuclei formed in the near surface...

Quantropy

  • John C. Baez and
  • Blake S. Pollard

9 February 2015

There is a well-known analogy between statistical and quantum mechanics. In statistical mechanics, Boltzmann realized that the probability for a system in thermal equilibrium to occupy a given state is proportional to \(\exp(-E/kT)\), where \(E\) is...
