Mobile phone as a platform for numerical simulation Original Research Article

In this work numerical simulations performed on mobile devices equipped with ARM microprocessors are shown. Calculations include: light propagation in linear and nonlinear media based on one-dimensional Schrödinger equation and molecules reorientation in nematic liquid crystals. The purpose of this publication is to show advantages and disadvantages of using mobile devices as a platform for education and research. Discussion about software development is provided.
