چکیده

Uncertainty theory is a branch of mathematics for modeling uncertainty in human reasoning, and uncertain statistics is a methodology for collecting and interpreting experts’ experimental data by uncertainty theory. In this paper, we will first discuss how to collect experts’ data. We apply this method to a model for estimating the distance between Beijing and Tianjin. Based on the experts’ experimental data, B-spline method is used to estimate the empirical uncertainty distribution. Finally, a numerical example is given. c ⃝2012 World Academic Press, UK.

A new approach to using the cubic B-spline functions to solve the Black-Scholes equation

Nowadays, options are common financial derivatives. For this reason, by increase of applications for these financial derivatives, the problem of options pricing is one of the most important economic issues. With the development of stochastic models, the need for randomly computational methods caused the generation of a new field called financial engineering. In the financial engineering the pre...

An ${cal O}(h^{8})$ optimal B-spline collocation for solving higher order boundary value problems

As we know the approximation solution of seventh order two points boundary value problems based on B-spline of degree eight has only ${cal O}(h^{2})$ accuracy and this approximation is non-optimal. In this work, we obtain an optimal spline collocation method for solving the general nonlinear seventh order two points boundary value problems. The ${cal O}(h^{8})$ convergence analysis, mainly base...

Convergence of Integro Quartic and Sextic B-Spline interpolation

In this paper, quadratic and sextic B-splines are used to construct an approximating function based on the integral values instead of the function values at the knots. This process due to the type of used B-splines (fourth order or sixth order), called integro quadratic or sextic spline interpolation. After introducing the integro quartic and sextic B-spline interpolation, their convergence is ...
