A variational approach is formulated and implemented for numerically solving a system of nonlinear two-point boundary value problem (BVP) with coupled boundary conditions modeling the power evolution in cascaded fiber Raman laser with the fiber Bragg gratings at the ends of the cavity. The nonlinearity is treated by successive linearization and the coupled boundary conditions are naturally incorporated into the system through integration in the variational setting. A global approximation of the dependent variables in terms of Legendre polynomials is used to provide a stable Lagrangian interpolation representation as well as the Legendre-Gauss quadrature for accurate numerical evaluation of integrals in the variational formulation. An initial approximate solution is constructed for the delicate convergence to the solution. The approach is validated against an approximate analytic solution and some exact integrals of the variables. The numerical experiments show exponential (spectral) accuracy achieved with much lower resolution in comparison to a widely available BVP solver. Further numerical experiments are performed to reveal the physical characteristics of the underlying model.

Variational formulation of irreversible thermodynamics of surfaces and interfaces with grain-boundary triple-junction singularities under the capillary and electromigration forces in anisotropic two-dimensional space Ogurtani, TO (American Physical Society (APS), 2006-06-01) A variational irreversible thermodynamic method for curved surfaces and interfaces in a two-dimensional (2D) continuum, having anisotropic specific surface Gibbs free energy, is developed by utilizing the more realistic monolayer model of Verschaffelt and Guggenheim for the description of interfaces and surfaces in connection with the global entropy production hypothesis. This approach considers not only the asymmetric disposition of the grain-boundary triple junction, but also its dynamical effects on the ...
Implementation of physical boundary conditions into computational domain in modelling of oscillatory bottom boundary layers Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Yılmaz, Bilgi (Wiley, 2010-11-30) This paper discusses the importance of realistic implementation of the physical boundary conditions into computational domain for the simulation of the oscillatory turbulent boundary layer flow over smooth and rough flat beds. A mathematical model composed of the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equation, turbulent kinetic energy (k) and dissipation rate of the turbulent kinetic energy (epsilon) has been developed. Control-volume approach is used to discretize the governing equations to facilitate the numeri...
Feature extraction of hidden oscillation in ECG data via multiple-FOD method Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Erkuş, Ekin Can (null; 2019-10-30) Fourier transform (FT) is a non-parametric method which can be used to convert the time domain data into the frequency domain and can be used to find the periodicity of oscillations in time series datasets. In order to detect periodic-like outliers in time series data, a novel and promising method, named as the outlier detection via Fourier transform (FOD), has been developed. From our previous studies, it has been shown that FOD outperforms most of the commonly used approaches for the detection of outliers...
Variational iteration method for Sturm-Liouville differential equations ALTINTAN, DERYA; Uğur, Ömür (2009-07-01) In this article, He's variational iteration method is applied to linear Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue and boundary value problems, including the harmonic oscillator. In this method, solutions of the problems are approximated by a set of functions that may include possible constants to be determined from the boundary conditions. By computing variations, the Lagrange multipliers are derived and the generalised expressions of variational iterations are constructed. Numerical results show that the method is simple...
Quantal diffusion description of multinucleon transfers in heavy-ion collisions Ayik, S.; Yilmaz, B.; Yılmaz, Osman; Umar, A. S. (2018-05-29) Employing the stochastic mean-field (SMF) approach, we develop a quantal diffusion description of the multi-nucleon transfer in heavy-ion collisions at finite impact parameters. The quantal transport coefficients are determined by the occupied single-particle wave functions of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock equations. As a result, the primary fragment mass and charge distribution functions are determined entirely in terms of the mean-field properties. This powerful description does not involve any adjustab...
