This paper presents meshfree method for solving systems of linear Volterra integro-differential equations with initial conditions. This approach is based on collocation method using Sinc basis functions. It's well-known that the Sinc approximate solution converges exponentially to the exact solution. Some numerical results are included to show the validity of this method.

The natural language community has made impressive progress in evaluation over the last four years . However, as the evaluations become more sophisticated and more ambitious, a fundamental proble m emerges: how to compare results across changing evaluation paradigms . When we change domain , task, and scoring procedures, as has been the case from MUCK-I to MUCK-II to MUC-3, we los e comparabili...

The current knowledge on topological knots in protein structure is reviewed, considering in turn, knots with three, four and five strand crossings. The latter is the most recent to be identified and has two distinct topological forms. The knot observed in the protein structure is the form that requires the least number of strand crossings to become un-knotted. The position of the chain termini ...

A block matrix formulation is presented for the Sinc-Galerkin technique applied to the wind-driven current problem from oceanography. The block matrix form is used to determine an approximate solution for the coupled system of differential equations describing the wind-driven current problem. The approximate solution determined by this new Sinc-Galerkin scheme is compared to the approximate sol...

Congenic mouse strains VM/Dk and VM-Sincs7/Dk differ at the Sinc gene, which controls the incubation period of scrapie in mice; VM/Dk mice are Sincp7p7 and VM-Sincs7/Dk mice are Sincs7s7. Restriction fragment length polymorphism and DNA sequencing analysis demonstrated that the PrP genes also differ in these strains, confirming the close genetic linkage of Sinc and PrP. Using the restriction en...

Six forest tree height inversion methods of polarimetric SAR interferometry were validated using repeat pass E-SAR datasets and the corresponding ground measured forest stand height. We show that SINC, three stage full model and three stage SINC inversions have good performance, and the SINC inversion with the first optimum coherence (OPT1) produces the best result among the eleven coherence ty...

A Sinc-collocation method has been proposed by Stenger, and he also gave theoretical analysis of the method in the case of a ‘scalar’ equation. This paper extends the theoretical results to the case of a ‘system’ of equations. Furthermore, this paper proposes more efficient method by replacing the variable transformation employed in Stenger’s method. The efficiency is confirmed by both of theor...
