Invariant functions for solving multiplicative discrete and continuous ordinary differential equations

In this paper, at first the elemantary and basic concepts of multiplicative discrete and continous differentian and integration introduced. Then for these kinds of differentiation invariant functions the general solution of discrete and continous multiplicative differential equations will be given. Finaly a vast class of difference equations with variable coefficients and nonlinear difference e...

Discrete Galerkin Method for Higher Even-Order Integro-Differential Equations with Variable Coefficients

This paper presents discrete Galerkin method for obtaining the numerical solution of higher even-order integro-differential equations with variable coefficients. We use the generalized Jacobi polynomials with indexes corresponding to the number of homogeneous initial conditions as natural basis functions for the approximate solution. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiven...

Free Vibration of Annular Plates by Discrete Singular Convolution and Differential Quadrature Methods

Plates and shells are significant structural components in many engineering and industrial applications. In this study, the free vibration analysis of annular plates is investigated. To this aim, two different numerical methods including the differential quadrature and the discrete singular convolution methods are performedfor numerical simulations. Moreover, the Frequency values are obtained v...

Spline Discrete Differential Forms and a New Finite Difference Discrete Hodge Operator

We construct a new set of discrete differential forms based on B-splines of arbitrary degree as well as an associated Hodge operator. The theory is first developed in 1D and then extended to multi-dimension using tensor products. We link our discrete differential forms with the theory of chains and cochains. The spline discrete differential forms are then applied to the numerical solution of Ma...

A continuous approximation fitting to the discrete distributions using ODE

The probability density functions fitting to the discrete probability functions has always been needed, and very important. This paper is fitting the continuous curves which are probability density functions to the binomial probability functions, negative binomial geometrics, poisson and hypergeometric. The main key in these fittings is the use of the derivative concept and common differential ...
