The different zones interface were regarded as discontinuity lines. Two sliding blocks of the slope were also incorporated horizontal seismic force and vertical gravity force. The velocities and forces were analyzed in two blocks, and the expression of velocity discontinuities was derived according to the principle of incompressibility. The external force done work for the blocks and the internal energy dissipated of the plastic shear zone and the velocity discontinuous were solved.The stability ratios were derived for the height of two-level slope with different rates to involve seismic and no seismic. The present stability ratios were compared to the previous study, which showed the superiority of the mechanism and the rationality of the analysis. The critical height of the slope can provide a theoretical basis for slope support and design.展开更多

In this paper, we present a text extraction method for historical Tibetan document images based on block projections. The task of text extraction is considered as text area detection and location problem.

By analyzing the filtered blocks' projections, the approximate text areas can be located, and the text regions are extracted. Experiments on the dataset of historical Tibetan documents demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

These methods are especially important on Massively Parallel Processors (MPP). This paper presents a block variant of the GMRES method for solving general unsymmetric linear systems. It is shown that the new algorithm with block size s, denoted by BVGMRES(s,m), is theoretically equivalent to the GMRES(s. m) method. The numerical results show that this algorithm can be more efficient than the standard GMRES method on a cache based single CPU computer with optimized BLAS kernels. Furthermore, the gain in efficiency is more significant on MPPs due to both efficient block operations and efficient block data communications. Our numerical results also show that in comparison to the standard GMRES method, the more PEs that are used on an MPP, the more efficient the BVGMRES(s,m) algorithm is.展开更多

文摘Multistep integration methods are being extensively used in the simulations of high dimensional systems due to their lower computational cost.The block methods were developed with the intent of obtaining numerical results on numerous points at a time and improving computational efficiency.Hybrid block methods for instance are specifically used in numerical integration of initial value problems.In this paper,an optimized hybrid block Adams block method is designed for the solutions of linear and nonlinear first-order initial value problems in ordinary differential equations(ODEs).In deriving themethod,the Lagrange interpolation polynomial was employed based on some data points to replace the differential equation function and it was integrated over a specified interval.Furthermore,the convergence properties along with the region of stability of the method were examined.It was concluded that the newly derived method is convergent,consistent,and zero-stable.The method was also found to be A-stable implying that it covers the whole of the left/negative half plane.From the numerical computations of absolute errors carried out using the newly derived method,it was found that the method performed better than the ones with which we compared our results with.Themethod also showed its superiority over the existing methods in terms of stability and convergence.

文摘Many initial value problems are difficult to be solved using ordinary,explicit step-by-step methods because most of these problems are considered stiff.Certain implicit methods,however,are capable of solving stiff ordinary differential equations(ODEs)usually found in most applied problems.This study aims to develop a new numerical method,namely the high order variable step variable order block backward differentiation formula(VSVOHOBBDF)for the main purpose of approximating the solutions of third order ODEs.The computational work of the VSVO-HOBBDF method was carried out using the strategy of varying the step size and order in a single code.The order of the proposed method was then discussed in detail.The advancement of this strategy is intended to enhance the efficiency of the proposed method to approximate solutions effectively.In order to confirm the efficiency of the VSVO-HOBBDF method over the two ODE solvers in MATLAB,particularly ode15s and ode23s,a numerical experiment was conducted on a set of stiff problems.The numerical results prove that for this particular set of problem,the use of the proposed method is more efficient than the comparable methods.VSVO-HOBBDF method is thus recommended as a reliable alternative solver for the third order ODEs.
文摘In this paper, the existence and uniqueness of the solution of Fredholm-Volterra integral equation is considered (NF-VIE) with continuous kernel;then we used a numerical method to reduce this type of equations to a system of nonlinear Volterra integral equations. Runge-Kutta method (RKM) and Bolck by block method (BBM) are used to solve the system of nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the second kind (SNVIEs) with continuous kernel. The error in each case is calculated.

文摘The adaptive simpler block GMRES method was investigated by Zhong et al.(J Comput Appl Math 282:139-156, 2015) where the condition number of the adaptively chosen basis for the Krylov subspace was evaluated. In this paper, the new upper bound for the condition number is investigated. Numerical tests show that the new upper bound is tighter.
