Conformal Mapping for the Efficient Solution of Poisson Problems with the Kansa-RBF Method
(2017)We consider the solution of Poisson Dirichlet problems in simply-connected irregular domains. These domains are conformally mapped onto the unit disk and the resulting Poisson Dirichlet problems are solved efficiently using ...

Effects of initial state preparation on the distance dependence of electron transfer through molecular bridges and wires
(2003)The dependence of electron transfer rates and yields in bridged molecular systems on the bridge length was discussed. The dependence of the zero-bias conduction of molecular wires on wire length were also discussed. Both ...

Further transformation properties of generalised inhomogeneous nonlinear diffusion equations with variable coefficients
(2005)We consider the variable coefficient inhomogeneous nonlinear diffusion equations of the form xput = [xqu nux]x. We present further transformation properties for this nonlinear class of equations that do not appear in the ...

A Kansa-Radial Basis Function Method for Elliptic Boundary Value Problems in Annular Domains
(2015)We employ a Kansa-radial basis function (RBF) method for the numerical solution of elliptic boundary value problems in annular domains. This discretization leads, with an appropriate selection of collocation points and for ...

(Affiliation: Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Avenue, Nicosia, 1678, CyprusAffiliation: Materials Science and Technology Department, University of Crete, P.O. Box 2208, Heraklion Crete 710 03, GreeceCorrespondence Address: Athanasopoulos, G. I.Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Avenue, Nicosia, 1678, Cyprus, 2010)The 3ω method has been applied to measure the anisotropic thermal conductivity of single crystals of SiO2 (quartz) and La 14-yCayCu24O41 (y = 9 and 10). A two-dimensional heat conduction model along with properly oriented ...
