This research proposes and investigates some improvements in gradient descent iterations that can be applied for solving system of nonlinear equations (SNE). In the available literature, such methods are termed improved gradient descent methods. We use verified advantages of various accelerated double direction and double step size gradient methods...
PurposeTo ensure the correct operation of the railway vehicle, it is necessary to provide a number of supervision measures. By identifying and analyzing vibrations on the axle assemblies as well as on the floor of the box of rail vehicles, a picture of the state of the suspension and the state of the axle assemblies was obtained. This aims at early...

We propose an improved variant of the accelerated gradient optimization models for solving unconstrained minimization problems. Merging the positive features of either double direction, as well as double step size accelerated gradient models, we define an iterative method of a simpler form which is generally more effective.

In this paper we deal with a determination of numbers in a Pascal triangle that are simultaneously triangular, tetrahedral and hyper pyramidal, i.e. natural numbers n, m, k ϵ N, such that it is (n 2) = (m 3) = (k 4) for n, m, k ϵ N and n ≥ 2, m ≥ 3, k ≥ 4. The collected results, obtained by mathematical analysis, were verified by computer. For this...

We determine minimum dominating sets and domination numbers of two special types of rhomboidal cactus chains, meta and ortho-chains. Thereafter, we determined the minimum dominating set for the icosahedral hexagonal network.
Keywords: dominating se...
One of the main tasks in teaching mathematics is to develop students' constructive thinking. In order to effectively accomplish this task, it is necessary to make a good selection of instructional materials and teaching aids. In order to make good selection and improve the teaching of mathematics, it is, also, necessary to include a statistical ana...

Contemporary mathematics teaching is mostly reduced to the application of algebraic formulas and algebraic procedures. The visual-logical approach in solving mathematical tasks is very little represented in teaching mathematics. Such practice should be changed since visualization is of great importance in the process of learning and understanding m...

All comparative methods are at least linearly convergent and have satisfied numerical characteristics regarding tested metrics: number of iterations, CPU time and number of function evaluations. Among the chosen set of methods we numerically show which one is th...

Contemporary mathematics teaching is mostly reduced to the application of algebraic
formulas and algebraic procedures. The visual-logical approach in solving
mathematical tasks is very little represented in teaching mathematics. Such practice
should be changed since visualization is of great importance in the process of learning
and understanding mathematics as well as in solving mathematical tasks. This paper
suggests the possibility of developing students’ ability to perceive lawfulness among
numbers by introducing figurative numbers in mathematics teaching.
Primary goal of this project is to find new mathematical models for solving of optimized problems in wide range and their application in stochastic analysis, theory of generalized inverses and theory of fixed point. It is also, expected that the results of this project should be applied in different industrial fields.
