‎second derivative general linear methods (sglms) as an extension‎ ‎of general linear methods (glms) have been introduced to improve‎ ‎the stability and accuracy properties of glms‎. ‎the coefficients of‎ ‎sglms are given by six matrices‎, ‎instead of four matrices for‎ ‎glms‎, ‎which are obtained by solving nonlinear systems of order and‎ ‎usually runge--kutta stability conditions‎. ‎in this p...

in this article, we propose and analyze a computational method for numerical solution of general two point boundary value problems. method is tested on problems to ensure the computational eciency. we have compared numerical results with results obtained by other method in literature. we conclude that propose method is computationally ecient and eective.

The well-known Regge-Wheeler equation describes the axial perturbations of Schwarzschild metric in the linear approximation. From a mathematical point of view it presents a particular case of the confluent Heun equation and can be solved exactly, due to recent mathematical developments. We present the basic properties of its general solution. A novel analytical approach and numerical techniques...

We consider an equation modeling the evolution of a viscous liquid thin film wetting a horizontal solid substrate destabilized by an electric field normal to the substrate. The effects of the electric field are modeled by a lower order non-local term. We introduce the good functional analysis framework to study this equation on a bounded domain and prove the existence of weak solutions defined ...

This study investigated the function of social supports and computer self-efficacy in predicting high school students’ perceived effect of computer use. The study was survey method to collect data. The questionnaires were distributed to the high school students in Taiwan. 620 questionnaires were distributed and 525 questionnaires were gathered back with 84.67% return rate. The results of struct...

Frequency difference limens (DLFs) for pure tones were obtained over a wide range of frequencies and levels from 7 normal-hearing subjects and 16 ears of 12 listeners with sensorineural hearing losses. The normal data were fitted with a general prediction equation. Variability of the data around the DLFs estimated by the equation was quantified and used to evaluate the DLFs from the hearing-imp...
