This paper presents a numerical matrix method based on Bernstein polynomials (BPs) for approximate the solution of a system of m-th order nonlinear Volterra integro-differential equations under initial conditions. The approach is based on operational matrices of BPs. Using the collocation points,this approach reduces the systems of Volterra integro-differential equations associated with the giv...

Non Uniform Rational B-splines (NURBs) are proved to be very promising for metamodeling in engineering problems, because they have unique properties such as local modification scheme, strong convex hull property, and infinitely differentiability, etc. Since NURBs are defined by control points, knot vector, and weights associated with control points, the precision of NURBs is influenced by all o...

A simple method to follow the postbuckling paths in the finite element analysis is presented. During a standard path-following by means of arc-length method, the signs of diagonal elements in the triangularized tangent stiffness matrix are monitored to determine the existence of singular points between two adjacent solution points on paths. A simple approach to identify limit or bifurcation poi...

By connecting the points which are the kind of linear combinations of Bézier control points, a broken line polygon called quasi-control polygon is produced. Using it to approximate Bézier segment, this paper obtains two sharp, quantitative bounds, besides depending on the degree of the polynomial, the bounds depend only on the maximal absolute second differences or the sum of absolute second di...

We provide an efficient reduction from the problem of querying approximate multiplicatively weighted farthest neighbors in a metric space to the unweighted problem. Combining our techniques with core-sets for approximate unweighted farthest neighbors, we show how to find (1+ ε)-approximate farthest neighbors in time O(logn) per query in D-dimensional Euclidean space for any constants D and ε. A...

e-Governance is the use of internet technology as a platform for exchanging information, providing services and transacting with citizens, businesses, and other arms of government. e-Governance as an administration tool provides a sound strategy to strengthen overall governance. It not only improves accountability, transparency and efficiency of government processes, but also facilitates sustai...

a definition of two jointly asymptotically nonexpansive mappings s and t on uniformly convex banach space e is studied to approximate common fixed points of two such mappings through weak and strong convergence of an ishikawa type iteration scheme generated by s and t on a bounded closed and convex subset of e. as a consequence of the notion of two jointly asymptotically nonexpansive maps, we c...

‎the main purpose of this paper is to study the numerical solution of nonlinear volterra integral equations with constant delays, based on the multistep collocation method. these methods for approximating the solution in each subinterval are obtained by fixed number of previous steps and fixed number of collocation points in current and next subintervals. also, we analyze the convergence of the...

“The whole Mediterranean, the sculpture, the palm, the gold beads, the bearded heroes, the wine, the ideas, the shops, the moonlight, the winged gorgons, the bronze men, the philosophers,all of it seems to rise in the sour, pungent taste of these black olives between the teeth. A taste older than meat, older than wine. A taste as old as cold water. Only the sea itself seems as ancient a part of...
