In this study, an effective technique upon compactly supported semi orthogonal cubic Bspline wavelets for solving nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations is proposed. Properties of B-spline wavelets and function approximation by them are first presented and the exponential convergence rate of the approximation, Ο(2 -4j ), is proved. For solving the nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral eq...

A finite element method involving collocation method with quintic B-splines as basis functions has been developed to solve tenth order boundary value problems. The fifth order, sixth order, seventh order, eighth order, ninth order and tenth order derivatives for the dependent variable are approximated by the central differences of fourth order derivatives. The basis functions are redefined into...

In this paper, numerical solutions of the nonlinear Burgers_ equation are obtained by a method based on collocation of quintic B-splines over finite elements. Applying the Von-Neumann stability analysis, the proposed method is shown to be unconditionally stable. The accuracy of the presented method is demonstrated by one test problem. The numerical results are found to be in good agreement with...

Free vibration of layered circular cylindrical shells of variable thickness is studied using spline function approximation by applying a point collocation method. The shell is made up of uniform layers of isotropic or specially orthotropic materials. The equations of motions in longitudinal, circumferential and transverse displacement components, are derived using extension of Love’s first appr...

A finite-element approach, based on cubic B-spline collocation, is presented for the numerical solution of Troesch’s problem. The method is used on both a uniform mesh and a piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh, depending on the magnitude of the eigenvalues. This is due to the existence of a boundary layer at the right endpoint of the domain for relatively large eigenvalues. The problem is also solv...

In this paper, we develop a Hermite cubic spline collocation method (HCSCM) for solving variable-order nonlinear fractional differential equations, which apply C1-continuous nodal basis functions to an approximate problem. We also verify that the order of convergence HCSCM is about O(hmin{4−α,p}) while interpolating function belongs Cp(p≥1), where h mesh size and α derivative. Many numerical te...
