Kourosh Parand, Yasaman Lotfi, Jamal Amani Rad Nonlinear Engineering 2018 in press

Abstract:In the present work, the problem of Hiemenz flow through a porous medium of a incompressible non-Newtonian Rivlin-Ericksen fluid with heat transfer is presented and newly developed analytic method, namely the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of the system of nonlinear differential equations governing the problem. This flow impinges normal to a plane wall with heat transfer. It has been attempted to show capabilities and wide-range applications of the homotopy analysis method in comparison with the numerical method in solving this problem. Also the convergence of the obtained HAM solution is discussed explicitly. Our reports consist of the effect of the porosity of the medium and the characteristics of the Non-Newtonian fluid on both the flow and heat.

Kourosh Parand, Sobhan Latifi, Mehdi Delkhosh, Mohammad M. Moayeri The European Physical Journal Plus 2018 in press

Abstract:In the present paper, a new method based on the Generalized Lagrangian Jacobi Gauss (GLJG) collocation method is proposed. The nonlinear Kidder equation, which explains unsteady isothermal gas through a micro-nano porous medium, is a second-order two-point boundary value ordinary differential equation on the unbounded interval [0,∞) . Firstly, using the quasilinearization method, the equation is converted to a sequence of linear ordinary differential equations. Then, by using the GLJG collocation method, the problem is reduced to solving a system of algebraic equations. It must be mentioned that this equation is solved without domain truncation and variable changing. A comparison with some numerical solutions made and the obtained results indicate that the presented solution is highly accurate. The important value of the initial slope, y′(0) , is obtained as −1.191790649719421734122828603800159364 for η=0.5 . Comparing to the best result obtained so far, it is accurate up to 36 decimal places.

An iterative kernel based method for fourth order nonlinear equation with nonlinear boundary condition

Babak Azarnavid, Kourosh Parand, Saeid Abbasbandy Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation 2018(59) 544-552

Abstract:This article discusses an iterative reproducing kernel method with respect to its effectiveness and capability of solving a fourth-order boundary value problem with nonlinear boundary conditions modeling beams on elastic foundations. Since there is no method of obtaining reproducing kernel which satisfies nonlinear boundary conditions, the standard reproducing kernel methods cannot be used directly to solve boundary value problems with nonlinear boundary conditions as there is no knowledge about the existence and uniqueness of the solution. The aim of this paper is, therefore, to construct an iterative method by the use of a combination of reproducing kernel Hilbert space method and a shooting-like technique to solve the mentioned problems. Error estimation for reproducing kernel Hilbert space methods for nonlinear boundary value problems have yet to be discussed in the literature. In this paper, we present error estimation for the reproducing kernel method to solve nonlinear boundary value problems probably for the first time. Some numerical results are given out to demonstrate the applicability of the method.

A very good approximation of solutions is obtained, and comparisons show that the obtained results are more accurate than the results of other researchers.

J.A. Rad, K. Rashidi, K. Parand, H. Adibi Engineering with Computers 2017(33) 547–571

Abstract:In this paper, we extend the application of meshfree node based schemes for solving one-dimensional inverse Cauchy-Stefan problem. The aim is devoted to recover the initial and boundary conditions from some Cauchy data lying on the admissible curve s(t) as the extra overspecifications. To keep matters simple, the problem has been considered in one dimensional, however the physical domain of the problem is supposed as an irregular bounded domain in R^2. The methods provide the space-time approximations for the heat temperature derived by expanding the required approximate solutions using collocation scheme based on radial point interpolation method (RPIM). The proposed method makes appropriate shape functions which possess the important Delta function property to satisfy the essential conditions automatically. In addition, to conquer the ill-posedness of the problem, particular optimization technique has been applied for solving the system of equations Ax=b in which A is a nonsymmetric stiffness matrix. As the consequences, reliable approximate solutions are obtained which continuously depend on input data.

Jamal Amani Rad, Kourosh Parand International Journal of Computer Mathematics 2017(10) 1-25

Abstract:Recently, several numerical methods have been proposed for pricing options under jump-diffusion models but very few studies have been conducted using meshless methods [12, 40]. Indeed, only a strong form of meshless methods have been employed in these lectures. We propose the local weak form meshless methods for option pricing under Merton and Kou jump-diffusion models. Predominantly in this work we will focus on meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG), local boundary integral equation (LBIE) methods based on moving least square approximation (MLS) and local radial point interpolation (LRPI) based on Wendland’s compactly supported radial basis functions (WCS-RBFs). The key feature of this paper is applying a Richardson extrapolation technique on American option which is a free boundary problem to obtain a fixed boundary problem. Also the implicit-explicit (IMEX) time stepping scheme is employed for the time derivative which allows us to obtain a spars and banded linear system of equations. Numerical experiments are presented showing that the presented approaches are extremely accurate and fast.

Abstract:In this paper, we propose compactly supported radial basis functions for solving some wellknown classes of astrophysics problems categorized as non-linear singular initial ordinary differential equations on a semi-infinite domain. To increase the convergence rate and to decrease the collocation points, we use the compactly supported radial basis function through the integral operations. Afterwards, some special cases of the equation are presented as test examples to show the reliability of the method. Then we compare the results of this work with some results and show that the new method is e_cient and applicable.

Kourosh Parand, Mohammad Mahdi Moayeri, Sobhan Latifi, Mehdi Delkhosh The European Physical Journal Plus 2017(132) 325

Abstract:In this paper, a spectral method based on the four kinds of rational Chebyshev functions is proposed to approximate the solution of the boundary layer flow of an Eyring-Powell fluid over a stretching sheet. First, by using the quasilinearization method (QLM), the model which is a nonlinear ordinary differential equation is converted to a sequence of linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). By applying the proposed method on the ODEs in each iteration, the equations are converted to a system of linear algebraic equations. The results indicate the high accuracy and convergence of our method. Moreover, the effects of the Eyring-Powell fluid material parameters are discussed.

The method reduces the solution of the problem to the solution of a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. To illustrate the reliability of the method, the numerical results of the present method are compared with several numerical results.

Kourosh Parand, Mehdi Delkhosh, Mehran Nikarya Tbilisi Mathematical Journal 2017(10)

Abstract:Fractional calculus and the fractional differential equations have appeared in many physical and engineering processes. Therefore, an efficient and suitable method to solve them is very important. In this paper, novel numerical methods are introduced based on the fractional order of the Chebyshev orthogonal functions (FCF) with Tau and collocation methods to solve differential equations of the arbitrary (integer or fractional) order. The FCFs are obtained from the classical Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. Also, the operational matrices of the fractional derivative and the product for the FCFs have been constructed. To show the efficiency and capability of these methods we have solved some well-known problems: the momentum, the Bagley-Torvik, and the Lane-Emden differential equations, then have compared our results with the famous methods in other papers.

The equation is solved without domain truncation and variable changing. First, the quasilinearization method is used to convert the equation to the sequence of linear ordinary differential equations.

Numerical pricing of American options under two stochastic factor models with jumps using a meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method

J.A. Rad, K. Parand Applied Numerical Mathematics 2017(4)

Abstract:The most recent update of financial option models is American options under stochastic volatility models with jumps in returns (SVJ) and stochastic volatility models with jumps in returns and volatility (SVCJ). To evaluate these options, mesh-based methods are applied in a number of papers but it is well-known that these methods depend strongly on the mesh properties which is the major disadvantage of them. Therefore, we propose the use of the meshless methods to solve the aforementioned options models, especially in this work we select and analyze one scheme of them, named local radial point interpolation (LRPI) based on Wendland's compactly supported radial basis functions (WCS-RBFs) with C6, C4 and C2 smoothness degrees. The LRPI method which is a special type of meshless local Petrov-Galerkin method (MLPG), offers several advantages over the mesh-based methods, nevertheless it has never been applied to option pricing, at least to the very best of our knowledge. These schemes are the truly meshless methods, because, a traditional non-overlapping continuous mesh is not required, neither for the construction of the shape functions, nor for the integration of the local sub-domains. In this work, the American option which is a free boundary problem, is reduced to a problem with fixed boundary using a Richardson extrapolation technique. Then the implicit-explicit (IMEX) time stepping scheme is employed for the time derivative which allows us to smooth the discontinuities of the options' payoffs. Stability analysis of the method is analyzed and performed. In fact, according to an analysis carried out in the present paper, the proposed method is unconditionally stable. Numerical experiments are presented showing that the proposed approaches are extremely accurate and fast.

K Parand, H Yousefi, M Delkhosh Romanian Journal of Physics 2017(62)

Abstract:In this paper, a numerical method based on the hybrid of the quasilinearization method (QLM) and the collocation method is suggested for solving wellknown nonlinear Lane-Emden-type equations as singular initial value problems, which model many phenomena in mathematical physics and astrophysics. First, by using the QLM method, the nonlinear ordinary differential equation is converted into a sequence of linear differential equations, and then the linear equations by the fractional order of rational Bernoulli collocation (FRBC) method on the semi-infinite interval [0;1) are solved. This method reduces the solution of these problems to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. Computational results of several problems are presented to demonstrate the viability and powerfulness of the method. Further, the fractional order of rational Bernoulli functions has also been used for the first time. The first zeros of standard Lane-Emden equation and the approximations of y(x) for Lane-Emden-type equations are given with unprecedented accuracy.

K Parand, S Latifi, MM Moayeri SeMA Journal 2017 1-20

Abstract:In this paper, a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (NODEs), namely the equation model of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection of CD4 + T cells, is studied. Our approach is implemented by using the Shifted-Lagrangian Jacobi (SLJ) polynomials formed by Shifted-Jacobi-Gauss-Radau (SJ-GR) points. In a new insight, by applying Quasilinearization method (QLM) the system of NODE’s is simplified and changed into a system of Linear ordinary differential equations (LODE’s) and instead of working on a system of NODE’s, all processes and works are done on a system of LODE’s. Therefore, unlike the most of the current studies working on nonlinear algebraic equations, the problem is reduced to a system of linear algebraic equations. Then, to solve the problem and find the unknown approximation coefficients, a system of Ax=b has been solved. At the end, the accuracy and reliability of this method are shown and comparisons with the other current work’s results are made.

The comparison of the results of rational and exponential Legendre Tau methods with numerical solution shows the efficiency and accuracy of these methods. We also make a comparison between these two methods themselves and show that using exponential functions, leads to more accurate results and faster convergence in this problem.

To illustrate the reliability of this method, we compare the numerical results of the present method with some well-known results in order to show that the new method is efficient and applicable.

An operation matrix method based on Bernstein polynomials for Riccati differential equation and Volterra population model

K Parand, Sayyed A Hossayni, JA Rad Applied Mathematical Modelling 2016(40) 21

Abstract:In this study, we present a modified configuration, including an exact formulation, for the operational matrix form of the integration, differentiation, and product operators applied in the Galerkin method. Previously, many studies have investigated the methods for obtaining operational matrices (derivative, integral, and product) for Fourier, Chebyshev, Legendre, and Jacobi polynomials, and some have considered the non-orthogonal bases that almost all of them operate on approximately. However, in this study, we aim to obtain the exact operational matrices (EOMs), which can be used for many classes of orthogonal and non-orthogonal polynomials. Similar to previous approaches, this method transforms the original problem into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. To retain the simplicity of the procedure, the samples are considered in one-dimensional contexts, although the proposed technique can also be employed for two- and three-dimensional problems. Two examples are presented to verify the accy of the proposed new approach and to demonstrate the superior performance of EOMs compared with ordinary operational matrices. The corresponding results demonstrate the increased accuracy of the new method. In addition, the convergence of the EOM method is studied numerically and analytically to prove the efficiency of the method.

A novel numerical technique to obtain an accurate solution to the Thomas-Fermi equation

Kourosh Parand, Hossein Yousefi, Mehdi Delkhosh, Amin Ghaderi The European Physical Journal Plus 2016(131) --

Abstract:In this paper, a new algorithm based on the fractional order of rational Euler functions (FRE) is introduced to study the Thomas-Fermi (TF) model which is a nonlinear singular ordinary differential equation on a semi-infinite interval. This problem, using the quasilinearization method (QLM), converts to the sequence of linear ordinary differential equations to obtain the solution. For the first time, the rational Euler (RE) and the FRE have been made based on Euler polynomials. In addition, the equation will be solved on a semi-infinite domain without truncating it to a finite domain by taking FRE as basic functions for the collocation method. This method reduces the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. We demonstrated that the new proposed algorithm is efficient for obtaining the value of y'(0)y'(0) , y(x)y(x) and y'(x)y'(x) . Comparison with some numerical and analytical solutions shows that the present solution is highly accurate.

Abstract:Natural convective heat transfer in porous media which is of importance in the design of canisters for nuclear waste disposal has received considerable attention during the past few decades. This paper presents a comparison between two different analytical and numerical methods, i.e. pseudospectral and Adomian decomposition methods. The pseudospectral approach makes use of the orthogonal rational Jacobi functions; this method reduces the solution of the problem to a solution of a system of algebraic equations. Numerical results are compared with each other, showing that the pseudospectral method leads to more accurate results and is applicable on similar problems.Keywords

Jamal Amani Rad, Kourosh Parand, Saeid Abbasbandy Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation 2015(22) 23

Abstract:For the first time in mathematical finance field, we propose the local weak form meshless methods for option pricing; especially in this paper we select and analysis two schemes of them named local boundary integral equation method (LBIE) based on moving least squares approximation (MLS) and local radial point interpolation (LRPI) based on Wu’s compactly supported radial basis functions (WCS-RBFs). LBIE and LRPI schemes are the truly meshless methods, because, a traditional non-overlapping, continuous mesh is not required, either for the construction of the shape functions, or for the integration of the local sub-domains. In this work, the American option which is a free boundary problem, is reduced to a problem with fixed boundary using a Richardson extrapolation technique. Then the ?-weighted scheme is employed for the time derivative. Stability analysis of the methods is analyzed and performed by the matrix method. In fact, based on an analysis carried out in the present paper, the methods are unconditionally stable for implicit Euler (?=0) and Crank–Nicolson (?=0.5) schemes. It should be noted that LBIE and LRPI schemes lead to banded and sparse system matrices. Therefore, we use a powerful iterative algorithm named the Bi-conjugate gradient stabilized method (BCGSTAB) to get rid of this system. Numerical experiments are presented showing that the LBIE and LRPI approaches are extremely accurate and fast.

Jamal Amani Rad, Kourosh Parand, Saeid Abbasbandy Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, India Section A 2015(85) 15

Abstract:In this paper, a method for the numerical pricing of American and European options under the Black–Scholes model is introduced. This approach is meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) based on local weak form and the moving least squares approximations. The MLPG offers advantages over conventional and strong meshless methods of radial basis function approximations. In this paper, the American option which is a free boundary problem, is reduced to a fixed boundary problem using a Richardson extrapolation technique. Then a time stepping method is employed for the time derivative. Finally numerical results are presented in two test cases. These experiments show that MLPG approach is accurate and fast, and performs significantly better compared to the conventional radial basis functions collocation methods.

Application of the exact operational matrices for solving the Emden-Fowler equations, arising in‎ Astrophysics‎

Sayyed A Hossayni, JA Rad, K Parand, S Abbasbandy International Journal of Industrial Mathematics 2015(7) 24

Abstract:The objective of this paper is applying the well-known exact operational matrices (EOMs) idea for solving the Emden-Fowler equations, illustrating the superiority of EOMs over ordinary operational matrices (OOMs). Up to now, a few studies have been conducted on EOMs ; but the solved differential equations did not have high-degree nonlinearity and the reported results could not strongly show the excellence of this new method. So, we chose Emden-Fowler type differential equations and solved them utilizing this method. To confirm the accuracy of the new method and to show the preeminence of EOMs over OOMs, the norm 1 of the residual and error function for both methods are evaluated for multiple $m$ values, where $m$ is the degree of the Bernstein polynomials. We report the results by some plots to illustrate the error convergence of both methods to zero and also to show the primacy of the new method versus OOMs. The obtained results demonstrate the increased accuracy of the new ‎method

K Parand, JA Rad, M Nikarya International Journal of Computer Mathematics 2014(91) 1239-1254

Abstract:Volterra's model for population growth in a closed system includes an integral term to indicate accumulated toxicity in addition to the usual terms of the logistic equation. In this research, a new numerical algorithm is introduced for solving this model. The proposed numerical approach is based on the modified Bessel function of the first kind and the collocation method. In this method, we aim to solve the problems on the semi-infinite domain without any domain truncation, variable transformation in basis functions and shifting the problem to a finite domain. Accordingly, we employ two different collocation approaches, one by computing through Volterra's population model in the integro-differential form and the other by computing by converting this model to an ordinary differential form. These methods reduce the solution of a problem to the solution of a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. To illustrate the reliability of these methods, we compare the numerical results of the present methods with some well-known results in other to show that the new methods are efficient and applicable.

Application of Meshfree methods for solving the inverse one-dimensional Stefan problem

K. Rashidi, H. Adibi, J. A. Rad, K. Parand Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements 2014(40) 22

Abstract:This work is motivated by studies of numerical simulation for solving the inverse one and two-phase Stefan problem. The aim is devoted to employ two special interpolation techniques to obtain space-time approximate solution for temperature distribution on irregular domains, as well as for the reconstruction of the functions describing the temperature and the heat flux on the fixed boundary x=0 when the position of the moving interface is given as extra specification. The advantage of applying the methods is producing the shape functions which provide the important delta function property to ensure that the essential conditions are fulfilled. Due to ill-posedness of the problem, the process is intractable numerically, so special optimization technique is used to obtain the regularized solution. Numerical results for the typical benchmark test examples, which have the input measured data perturbed by increasing amounts of noise and continuity to the input data in the presence of additive noise, are obtained, which present the efficiency of the proposed method.

Abstract:In this paper, we state and prove a new formula expressing explicitly the integratives of Bernstein polynomials (or B-polynomials) of any degree and for any fractional-order in terms of B-polynomials themselves. We derive the transformation matrices that map the Bernstein and Legendre forms of a degree-n polynomial on [0,1] into each other. By using their transformation matrices, we derive the operational matrices of integration and product of the Bernstein polynomials. These matrices together with the Tau method are then utilized to reduce the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. The method is applied to solve linear and nonlinear fractional differential equations.

Analytical solution of the transpiration on the boundary layer flow and heat transfer over a vertical slender cylinder

S Abbasbandy, D Modarrespoor, K Parand, JA Rad Quaestiones Mathematicae 2013(36) 28

Abstract:An analysis is carried out to study the effects that blowing/injection and suction on the steady mixed convection or combined forced and free convection boundary layer flows over a vertical slender cylinder with a mainstream velocity and a wall surface temperature proportional to the axial distance along the surface of the cylinder. Both cases of buoyancy forces aid and oppose the development of the boundary layer are considered. For the investigated problem, the governing non-linear partial differential equations and their associated boundary conditions are transformed into coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformations. This equation is solved both by a newly developed analytic technique, namely homotopy analysis method (HAM) and by a numerical method employing the shooting method. The convergence of the obtained series solutions is carefully checked. The physical significance of interesting parameters on the velocity profile and the temperature profile are shown through graphs and discussed in detail. The values of the skin friction coefficient, the local Nusselt number, curvature parameter, buoyancy or mixed convection parameter and Prandtl number are tabulated. Comparison is also made with the corresponding results of viscous fluid with no mixed convection and an excellent agreement is noted.

K Parand, L Hosseini International Journal of Numerical Methods for Heat & Fluid Flow 2013(23) 17

Abstract:The aim is to present in this paper an effective strategy in dealing with a semi-infinite interval by using a suitable mapping that transforms a semi-infinite interval to a finite interval. The authors introduce a new orthogonal system of rational functions induced by general Jacobi polynomials with the parameters alpha and beta. It is more flexible in applications. In particular, alpha and beta could be regulated, so that the systems are mutually orthogonal in certain weighted Hilbert spaces. This approach is applied for solving a non-linear system two-point boundary value problem (BVP) on semi-infinite interval, describing the flow and diffusion of chemically reactive species over a nonlinearly stretching sheet immersed in a porous medium. The new approach reduces the solution of a problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. The paper presents an effective strategy in dealing with a semi-infinite interval by using a suitable mapping that transforms a semi-infinite interval to a finite interval.

Kansa method for the solution of a parabolic equation with an unknown spacewise-dependent coefficient subject to an extra measurement

K Parand, JA Rad Computer Physics Communications 2013(184) 14

Abstract:Parabolic partial differential equations with an unknown spacewise-dependent coefficient serve as models in many branches of physics and engineering. Recently, much attention has been expended in studying these equations and there has been a considerable mathematical interest in them. In this work, the solution of the one-dimensional parabolic equation is presented by the method proposed by Kansa. The present numerical procedure is based on the product model of the space–time radial basis function (RBF), which was introduced by Myers et al. Using this method, a rapid convergent solution is produced which tends to the exact solution of the problem. The convergence of this scheme is accelerated when we use the Cartesian nodes as center nodes. The accuracy of the method is tested in terms of Error and RMS errors. Also, the stability of the technique is investigated by perturbing the additional specification data by increasing the amounts of random noise. The numerical results obtained show that the proposed method produces a convergent and stable solution.

Abstract:In this paper, a collocation method using a new weighted orthogonal system on the half-line, namely the rational Gegenbauer functions, is introduced to solve numerically the third-order nonlinear differential equation, af?+ff?=0af?+ff?=0, where a is a constant parameter. This method solves the problems on semi-infinite domain without truncating it to a finite domain and transforming the domain of the problems to a finite domain. For a=2a=2, the equation is the well-known Blasius equation, which is a laminar viscous flow over a semi-infinite flat plate. We solve this equation by considering 1?a?21?a?2 and compare the new results with the established results to show the efficiency and accuracy of the new method.

Saeid Abbasbandy, K Parand, S Kazaem, AR Sanaei Kia International Journal of Industrial Mathematics 2013(5) 9

Abstract:Abstract In this paper, we propose radial basis functions (RBF) to solve the two dimensional flow of fluid near a stagnation point named Hiemenz flow. The Navier-Stokes equations governing the flow can be reduced to an ordinary differential equation of third order using similarity transformation. Because of its wide applications the flow near a stagnation point has attracted many investigations during the past several decades. We satisfy boundary conditions such as infinity condition, by using Gaussian radial basis function through the both differential and integral operations. By choosing center points of RBF with shift on one point in uniform grid, we increase the convergence rate and decrease the collocation points.

Application of the exact operational matrices based on the Bernstein polynomials

K Parand, Sayyed A Kaviani Journal of mathematics and computer Science, 2013(6) 24

Abstract:Abstract This paper aims to develop a new category of operational matrices. Exact operational matrices (EOMs) are matrices which integrate, differentiate and product the vector (s) of basis functions without any error. Some suggestions are offered to overcome the difficulties of this idea (including being forced to change the basis size and having more equations than unknown variables in the final system of algebraic equations). The proposed idea is implemented on the Bernstein basis functions. By both of the newly extracted Bernstein EOMs and ordinary operational matrices (OOMs) of the Bernstein functions, one linear and one nonlinear ODE is solved. Special attention is given to the comparison of numerical results obtained by the new algorithm with those found by OOMs.

Abstract:The problem of natural convection about a cone embedded in a porous medium at local Rayleigh numbers based on the boundary layer approximation and the Darcy’s law have been studied before. Similarity solutions for a full cone with the prescribed wall temperature or surface heat flux boundary conditions which is the power function of distance from the vertex of the inverted cone give us a third-order nonlinear differential equation. In this paper, an approximate method for solving higher-order ordinary differential equations is proposed. The approach is based on a rational Chebyshev Tau (RCT) method. The operational matrices of the derivative and product of rational Chebyshev (RC) functions are presented. These matrices together with the Tau method are utilized to reduce the solution of the higher-order ordinary differential equations to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. We also present the comparison of this work with others and show that the present method is applicable.

The modified QLM is iterative but not perturbative and gives stable semi analytical solutions to nonlinear problems without depending on the existence of a smallness parameter. Comparison with some numerical solutions shows that the present solution is applicable.

Through the convergence of these methods we determine the accurate initial slope y'(0) with good capturing the essential behavior of y (x). Numerical and analytical evaluations and comparisons with the results obtained are also discussed at the last part of the paper.
