    Abstract: We derive an expression for the product of the Pfaffians of two skew-symmetric matrices A and B as a sum of products of the traces of powers of AB and an expression for the inverse matrix A-1, or equivalently B-1, as a finite-order polynomial of AB with coefficients depending on the traces of powers of AB.

    Abstract: The flow of fourth grade fluid flow over a porous plate with heat transfer is considered. By using the perturbation techniques, approximate analytical solutions for velocity and temperature profiles have been obtained. Comparing with the Newtonian effect, it turns out that if the second grade, third grade and fourth grade effects are small, an ordi... Show More
