Optimising time-varying network flows by low-revenue tolling under dynamic user equilibrium. (2014)
Journal Article
Stewart, K., & Ge, Y. (2014). Optimising time-varying network flows by low-revenue tolling under dynamic user equilibrium. European journal of transport and infrastructure research, 14, 30-45

This paper presents a dynamic congestion charging framework that includes a dynamic user equilibrium (DUE) network model to optimize a tolling scheme, whose objective(s) may be determined by the transport planner. The framework presented may be utili... Read More about Optimising time-varying network flows by low-revenue tolling under dynamic user equilibrium..

Similarity solutions to unsteady pseudoplastic flow near a moving wall (2014)
Journal Article
Robin, W. (2014). Similarity solutions to unsteady pseudoplastic flow near a moving wall. International Mathematical Forum, 9(31), 1465-1475. https://doi.org/10.12988/imf.2014.418

It is shown that similarity solutions to a partial differential boundary value problem for power law fluids may be generated by the application of a multi-parameter stretching group. Furthermore, the resulting ordinary differential boundary value... Read More about Similarity solutions to unsteady pseudoplastic flow near a moving wall.

Series solutions of partial differential equations using the complex integral method (2014)
Journal Article

The complex integral method for solving ordinary differential equations in series [3, 7, 8] is extended to cover the series solution of partial differential equations also. The means of this extension is straightforward, with both ‘ordinary’ and ‘Fro... Read More about Series solutions of partial differential equations using the complex integral method.

We present an alternative approach to the discussion of Bessel equations and Bessel functions, through an elementary factorization method. The various Bessel equations are represented by a single parameterized form and, after a standard transformatio...
