The new method for obtaining an approximate solution of the Dirac equation proposed by Moore is applied rigorously in zero order to the hydrogenic atom, and the results are compared with the exact solution and with those obtained by Pauli's approximation. It is concluded that up to the order of α2 the three methods give the same energy values, but the higher order contribution included in Moore's method makes the energy worse than Pauli's. Moore's zeroth approximate wave function is also examined.

An approximate wave function expressed in terms of exponential functions, spherical harmonics, etc., with numerical coefficients has been calculated for the ground state of the beryllium atom . Judged by the energy criterion this gives a more accurate result than the Hartree result which was the best previously known. This has been calculated as a trial of a fresh method of calculating atomic wave functions. A linear combination of Slater determinants is treated by the variational method. The results suggest that this will provide a more powerful and convenient method than has previously been available for atoms with more than two electrons.

The Laplace-Adomian-Pade method is used to find approximate solutions of differential equations with initial conditions. The oscillation model of the ENSO is an important nonlinear differential equation which is solved analytically in this study. Compared with the exact solution from other decomposition methods, the approximate solution shows the method’s high accuracy with symbolic computation.

An approximate wave function of the ground state of the spin [Formula: see text] XY magnet is derived using a variational method. This wave function yields estimates of the ground state energy and long-range order which agree very well with the results obtained by Betts and Oitmaa by a finite lattice method.

We investigate bilateral set-valued stochastic integral equations and these equations combine widening and narrrowing set-valued stochastic integral equations studied in literature. An existence and uniqueness theorem is established using approximate solutions. In addition stability of the solution with respect to small changes of the initial state and coefficients is established, also we provide a result on boundedness of the solution, and an estimate on a distance between the exact solution and the approximate solution is given. Finally some implications for deterministic set-valued integral equations are presented.

The time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) method is known as one of the most accurate flaw sizing methods among the various ultrasonic testing techniques. However, the standard TOFD method cannot be applied to weld joints with linear misalignment because of its basic assumptions. In this study, a geometric model of the TOFD method for weld joints with linear misalignment is introduced and an exact solution for calculating the flaw tip depth is derived. Since the exact solution is extremely complex, a simple approximate solution is also derived assuming that the misalignment is sufficiently small relative to the probe spacing and the flaw tip depth. The error in the approximate solution is confirmed to be negligible if the assumptions are satisfied. Numerical simulations are conducted to assess the flaw sizing accuracy of both the exact and approximate solutions considering the constraint of the probe spacing and the influence of the excess metal shape. Finally, experiments are conducted to prove the applicability of the proposed method. As a result, the proposed method is proven to enable accurate flaw sizing of weld joints with linear misalignment.


Previous ideas about the way in which hypervirial theorems might be used to improve approximate wave functions are discussed. To provide a firmer foundation for these ideas, a link is established between hypervirial theorems and perturbation theory. It is proved that if the first-order perturbation correction to the expectation value of an arbitrary operator vanishes, then the approximate wave function used satisfies a certain hypervirial theorem. Conversely, if an arbitrary hypervirial theorem is satisfied by the wave function, then it is proved that the expectation values of certain operators have vanishing first-order corrections. Some consequences of the theory as applied to variational wave functions with optimum energy are developed. The results are illustrated by the use of a simple approximate wave function for the ground state of the helium atom.

Spherical splines are used to define approximate solutions to strongly elliptic pseudodifferential equations on the unit sphere. These equations arise from geodesy. The approximate solutions are found by using Galerkin method. We prove optimal convergence (in Sobolev norms) of the approximate solution by spherical splines to the exact solution. Our numerical results underlie the theoretical result.

In this article the Legendre multiwavelet basis with the aid of a collocation method has been applied to give the approximate solution for the fractional optimal control problems (FOCPs). The properties of the Legendre multiwavelet are presented. These properties together with the collocation method are then utilized to reduce the problem to the solution of an algebraic system. Numerical results and a comparison with the exact solution in the cases when we have an exact solution are given to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the new method.
