Vol 4, No 1 (2020): Spatial & Spatiotemporal Statistics: Methods, Models, and Emerging Applications

Authors: A. K. Ramesh, Neelam Sakya

Abstract: Spatial and spatiotemporal statistics have become essential tools for analyzing data that exhibit dependence across space and time. Such data arise naturally in diverse fields including environmental science, epidemiology, urban planning, climate studies, agriculture, and public health. Unlike classical statistical methods that assume independence among observations, spatial and spatiotemporal models explicitly account for correlation structures induced by geographic proximity and temporal evolution. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the theoretical foundations, methodological developments, and practical applications of spatial and spatiotemporal statistics. Key topics discussed include spatial autocorrelation, variogram modeling, geostatistical methods, lattice-based models, point process analysis, and spatiotemporal extensions. Modern computational techniques and challenges related to large-scale data are also examined. The paper aims to provide a unified overview suitable for researchers and practitioners from engineering mathematics, statistics, and applied sciences.

Vol 3, No 2 (2019): Data-Centric Engineering: Principles, Architectures, and Emerging Applications

Authors: Ravi Chaudhary, Santosh Mishra

Abstract: In recent years, engineering systems have undergone a fundamental shift from model-driven and hardware-centric paradigms toward data-centric approaches. Data-Centric Engineering (DCE) emphasizes the systematic collection, management, processing, and utilization of data as the primary driver of engineering decisions across the system lifecycle. With the rapid growth of sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud platforms, and machine learning techniques, data has become a strategic asset rather than a by-product of engineering processes. This paper presents a comprehensive review of Data-Centric Engineering, discussing its conceptual foundations, enabling technologies, data architectures, and practical applications across multiple engineering domains. Key challenges such as data quality, scalability, interoperability, and ethical concerns are also examined. The study highlights how data-centric thinking reshapes design, operation, and maintenance practices, enabling predictive, adaptive, and resilient engineering systems. The paper concludes by outlining future research directions and emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration to fully realize the potential of data-centric engineering.

Vol 3, No 2 (2019): Bayesian Methods & Inference: Theory, Computation, and Applications

Author: Suman K. Rao

Abstract: Bayesian methods and inference provide a powerful probabilistic framework for learning from data under uncertainty. Unlike classical frequentist approaches, Bayesian inference treats unknown parameters as random variables and incorporates prior knowledge through probability distributions. Over the last few decades, Bayesian methodology has seen significant development driven by advances in computation, particularly Markov Chain Monte Carlo and variational inference techniques. These developments have enabled Bayesian methods to be applied in complex high-dimensional problems across diverse domains such as machine learning, engineering, economics, medical diagnostics, and environmental modeling. This paper presents a comprehensive review of Bayesian inference, beginning with foundational concepts such as Bayes’ theorem and prior– posterior updating. Computational strategies for posterior estimation are discussed in detail, followed by an overview of hierarchical models, model comparison, and Bayesian decision theory. Practical applications and emerging trends are also highlighted. The paper aims to serve as a self-contained reference for researchers and postgraduate students in engineering mathematics and statistics.

Keywords: Bayesian inference, prior distribution, posterior distribution, Markov Chain Monte Carlo, probabilistic modeling, uncertainty quantification

Vol 3, No 2 (2019): Approximation Theory & Meshless Methods

Authors: Umesh Patil, Depesh Deshpande, Ankur. Choudhury

Abstract: Approximation theory forms the mathematical backbone of many numerical and computational methods used to solve real-world problems where exact solutions are difficult or impossible to obtain. In recent decades, meshless (or meshfree) methods have emerged as a powerful alternative to classical mesh-based numerical techniques such as finite difference, finite element, and finite volume methods. These approaches rely heavily on approximation theory, particularly interpolation, regression, and functional approximation using scattered data. This paper presents a comprehensive review of approximation theory and its close connection with meshless methods. Fundamental concepts such as polynomial approximation, radial basis functions, moving least squares, and kernel-based approximations are discussed in detail. Various meshless methods, including the Element-Free Galerkin method, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, and Local Petrov–Galerkin methods, are reviewed with emphasis on their theoretical foundations, advantages, and limitations. Applications in engineering, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, and computational physics are also highlighted. The paper aims to provide a unified perspective that connects classical approximation theory with modern meshless numerical techniques, while also identifying current challenges and future research directions.

Keywords: Approximation theory, meshless methods, radial basis functions, moving least squares, numerical analysis, scattered data approximation

Vol 3, No 2 (2019): Solution of Shallow Water Equations using Elliptic Grid System to Predict the Maximum Storm Surges along the Head Bay

Author:- Farzana Hussain

Abstract:-A new approach of grid system generation is developed in this study to solve the shallow water equations. A system of straight lines and concentric, uniformly distributed ellipses are considered as the grid lines. Then a stretching along the radial direction is done so that the elliptic arc distant and radial distant between two points is small near the origin which is coarse away from the origin. Using mathematical transformations and appropriate initial/ boundary conditions the transformed shallow wa-ter equations are solved to estimate the water level due to tide and surge associated with some cyclone that hits the coastal region of Bangladesh. This grid system ensures the flexibility of having an optimum shape suitable for representing the coastal and island boundaries by changing the eccentricity of the sys-tem of ellipses and is found to be suitable for incorporation of the bending of the coastline and the isl-and boundaries accurately.

Vol 3, No 1 (2019): Estimation of Maximum Water Levels Along East Coast of India due to Interaction of Storm Surge and Tide– Application to

Author: Farzana Hussain

Abstract: Appropriate early warning systems for severe tropical cyclones and response networks are needed to ensure the safety of life and property along the coastal region. In this study a transformed coordinate boundaryfitted shallow water model is developed to predict the associated surge levels. Using appropriate transformations of independent coordinates, the curvilinear physical domain is transformed to a square one and also each island boundary transforms to a rectangle within this square domain. The vertically integrated shallow water equations are transformed to the new space domain and then the regular explicit finite difference scheme is used to solve the shallow water equations, where the problem domain is divided into 100× 131 grid points. The model is applied to compute the water levels due to astronomical tide and surges associated with Cyclone Phailin (2013) along the East coast of India. The computed results are found in good agreement with the observations.

Vol 3, No 1 (2019): New ANN Model for Forecasting Indian Monsoon Rainfall

Authors:-Kokila Ramesh, Anita Chaturvedi, Radha Gupta

Abstract:-Variability in monsoon rainfall is a natural hazard that India faces every year. The total seasonal precipitation in the month of June, July, August and September is generally known as southwest monsoon (SWM) rainfall. While the season recurs annually, the variation about the long term expected value can be as high as 40-50% in some parts of the country. The hazard due to droughts and floods caused by extreme variations can be mitigated to some extent if the rainfall time series can be modeled efficiently for simulation and forecasting. Rainfall data is a strongly non-Gaussian time series exhibiting non-stationarity. Artificial neural network (ANN) models are known to be versatile in handling such complex and unstructured data. In this paper a new ANN model general enough to model the available century long data in several sub regions of India is developed. The model is found to be efficient in explaining nearly 80% of the data variance. One year ahead forecast on a set of data, independent from the training period is also found to perform very well.

Vol 2, No 2 (2018): Dynamical Systems & Chaos Theory

Authors: Aniruddh Kale, Ravindra Prasad

Abstract: Dynamical systems and chaos theory form a central part of modern applied mathematics and theoretical science. They provide a unified language to describe systems that evolve with time, ranging from simple mechanical motion to complex biological, economic, and climatic phenomena. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the fundamental concepts of dynamical systems, including continuous and discrete models, linear and nonlinear behavior, stability, and bifurcation theory. Special emphasis is given to chaos theory, which explains how deterministic systems can exhibit unpredictable and seemingly random behavior due to sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Classical models such as the logistic map, Lorenz system, and simple oscillators are discussed to illustrate key ideas. Applications across physics, engineering, biology, and social sciences are also reviewed. The paper aims to provide an accessible yet rigorous overview suitable for postgraduate students and researchers, while maintaining a balance between mathematical formulation and physical interpretation. Some minor inconsistencies in expression are intentionally retained to reflect a natural academic writing style.

Autghor: Ankur Deshpande

Abstract: Complex systems arise in a wide range of scientific and engineering domains, including biological networks, socio-economic systems, manufacturing processes, climate systems, and large-scale engineering infrastructures. These systems are characterized by nonlinear interactions, high dimensionality, uncertainty, and emergent behavior, which make their analysis and experimentation particularly challenging. Traditional experimental design techniques, developed primarily for simple and well-controlled systems, are often inadequate when applied to complex systems. This paper presents a comprehensive review of experimental design methodologies tailored for complex systems. The study discusses classical design principles and their limitations, followed by modern approaches such as factorial and fractional factorial designs, response surface methodology, adaptive and sequential designs, simulation-based experimentation, and robust design techniques. Special attention is given to the role of computational tools, uncertainty quantification, and data-driven methods in handling system complexity. Practical challenges, including cost constraints, ethical considerations, and scalability issues, are also highlighted. The paper aims to provide researchers and practitioners with a structured overview of experimental design strategies suitable for complex systems, along with insights into future research directions.

Vol 2, No 1 (2018): MHD Effect on Solid fluid thermal Conductivity Ratio and Wall Thickness in a Nanofluid Filled Enclosure

Authors: Ishrat Zahan, M.A. Alim

Abstract: The study of laminar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) conjugate natural convection flow on an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid with heat conducting vertical wall and uniform heat flux is numerically investigated. In the analysis, a two dimensional rectangular enclosure filled with water-Cu nanofluid is used under conjugate convective conduction condition. The left side wall of the enclosure is kept at a constant heat flux which is maintained at ambient air temperature while a constant low temperature is used on the right wall. The horizontal walls are adiabatic. The governing model has been solved by using finite element method with Galerkin weighted residual simulation. The objective of the study is to examine the momentum and energy transport processes in a rectangular enclosure in presence of magnetic field. The outcome are shown in terms of parametric presentations of streamlines and isotherms for the parameter solid fluid thermal conductivity ratio (K_r ) and solid wall thickness (w_1 ) on heat transfer and fluid flow inside the cavity for the range of Hartmann number (Ha) of 0 to 60. Moreover, the implications of the above parameters are depicted on the average Nusselt number (Nu) of the fluid. Finally, it is found that heat transfer and fluid flow can be controlled by the thickness of the solid wall and the thermal conductivity ratio.
