Abstract

Conjugate gradient (CG) method is well-known for its ability to solve unconstrained optimization (UO.) problems. This article presenting a new CG method with sufficient descent conditions which improves the former method developed by Rvaie, Mustafa, Ismail and Leong (RMIL). The efficacy of the proposed method has been demonstrated through simulations on the Kijang Emas pricing regression problem. The daily data between January 2021 to May 2021 were obtained from Malaysian Ministry of Health and Bank Negara Malaysia. The dependent variable for this study was the Kijang Emas price, and the independent variables were the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) measures (i.e., new cases, R-naught, death cases, new recovered). Data collected were analyzed on its correlation and coefficient determinant, and the influences of COVID-19 on Kijang Emas price was examined through multiple linear regression model. Findings revealed that the suggested technique outperformed the existing CG algorithms in terms of computing efficiency.

Abstract

Instant controlled pressure drop, also known as DIC, is one of the drying techniques that has been used for texturing, extracting and drying various food products. Mathematical model has been used to explain the drying process, although most of the studies focused on the statistical regression model approach. Due to the limitations of regression model, which neglects the fundamental of dehydration process, this paper presents the development of mathematical models to detect, solve and visualize the three-dimensional (3D) heat and mass transfer in DIC drying process. Finite difference method (FDM) with central difference formula is used to discretize the mathematical models. A large sparse of system of linear equation (SLE), which represents the actual drying process, is solved by using some numerical methods, such as jacobi (JB), red black gauss seidel (RBGS), alternating group explicit with douglas (AGED) and brian (AGEB) methods. Based on the numerical results, high execution time and high computational complexity have been shown. In order to reduce the execution time and computational complexity, the parallel algorithm based on domain decomposition technique has been implemented on the MATLAB distributed computing server (MDCS). The parallel algorithm of the numerical methods was evaluated and compared based on the parallel performance metrics: execution time, speed up, efficiency, effectiveness, temporal performance and granularity. From the parallel performance metrics, it was found that the PAGEB approach had better performance, followed by PAGED, PRBGS and PJB methods.

Abstract

This paper determines by simulation the temperature profiles of a thick carbon fiber/epoxy laminate during its cure process. The one-dimensional model of heat transfer is solved by using a finite difference numerical scheme. In the process, the same physical and thermal properties of materials used by ZhanSheng et al. are employed. The temperature is calculated through a judicious formulation and application of the Alternating Group Explicit (AGE) iterative method developed by Evans and Sahimi. A fourthorder Runge Kutta method is applied for the cure. The AGE scheme proves to be a viable iterative method with respect to stability, efficiency and rate of convergence.
