In this paper, an effective technique is proposed to determine thenumerical solution of nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integralequations (VFIEs) which is based on interpolation by the hybrid ofradial basis functions (RBFs) including both inverse multiquadrics(IMQs), hyperbolic secant (Sechs) and strictly positive definitefunctions. Zeros of the shifted Legendre polynomial are used asthe collocatio...

In this paper we investigate the Szegő-Radau and Szegő-Lobatto quadrature formulas on the unit circle. These are (n + m)-point formulas for which m nodes are fixed in advance, with m = 1 and m = 2 respectively, and which have a maximal domain of validity in the space of Laurent polynomials. That means that the free parameters (free nodes and positive weights) are chosen such that the quadrature...

A simple strategy for constructing a sequence of increasingly refined interpolation grids over the triangle or the tetrahedron is discussed with the goal of achieving uniform convergence and ensuring high interpolation accuracy. The interpolation nodes are generated based on a one-dimensional master grid comprised of the zeros of the Lobatto, Legendre, Chebyshev, and second-kind Chebyshev polyn...

Gauss-Kronrod product quadrature formulas for the numerical approximation of R 1 ?1 k(x)f (x)dx are shown to converge for every Riemann integrable f , and to possess optimal stability. Similar results are proved for the product formulas based on the Kronrod nodes only. An application to the uniform convergence of approximate solutions of integral equations is given.

Launch vehicle design is a multidisciplinary process involving different disciplines such as aerodynamics, structure, propulsion and trajectory. This latter key discipline in the it used to assess overall performance of by solving an optimal control problem system nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Usual Multidisciplinary Design Optimization methods for launch consider trajectory auxili...

We observe that a lemma used in the study of even sets nodes on surfaces applies almost verbatim to prove celebrated formula Gauss 2-torsion class group quadratic field.
