The quintic B-spline collocation method is developed to solve the fourth-order parabolic partial differential equation. This kind of problem arises in the field of transverse vibration of the uniform flexible beam. Stability analysis of the method has also been proven. Two examples have been considered to illustrate the efficiency of the method developed. It has been observed that the numerical...

will be employed in the analysis of the principle properties of the collocation approximations; the extension to nonlinear equations is straightforward (cf. [1, p. 225]). High-order numerical methods for VIDEs with weakly singular kernels may be found in [1,2,6,7,8]. In this note we shall consider collocation methods for VIDE (1.1), based on Brunner's approach [1]. The following method and nota...

The present work reports the static behaviour of functionally graded rotating beam based on Timoshenko theory, which includes effect shear deformation. principle virtual displacement is applied to derive a governing equation for (FG) beam, considering centrifugal stiffening effect. B-spline collocation technique employed solve differential and material properties are function power law distribu...

We propose a new iterative algorithm for the retrieval of the microphysical properties of stratospheric and tropospheric aerosols from multiwavelength lidar data. We consider the basic equation as an ill-posed problem and solve the system derived from spline collocation via a Padé iteration. The algorithm takes special care of the fact that the reconstruction of the distribution via spline coll...
