background : in medical studies, when the joint prediction about occurrence of two events should be anticipated, a statistical bivariate model is used. due to the limitations of usual statistical models, other methods such as artificial neural network (ann) and hybrid models could be used. in this paper, we propose a hybrid artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (ann-ga) model to predictio...

In this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and Bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. Then, we utilize them to solve delay differential equations and time-delay system. The method is based upon e...

In this paper we apply hybrid functions of general block-pulse‎ ‎functions and Legendre polynomials for solving linear and‎ ‎nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations (FDEs)‎. ‎Our approach is based on incorporating operational matrices of‎ ‎FDEs with hybrid functions that reduces the FDEs problems to‎ ‎the solution of algebraic systems‎. ‎Error estimate that verifies a‎ ‎converge...

A numerical method for solving nonlinear mixed Hammerstein integral equations is presented in this paper. The method is based upon hybrid of rationalized Haar functions approximations. The properties of hybrid functions which are the combinations of block-pulse functions and rationalized Haar functions are first presented. The Newton-Cotes nodes and Newton-Cotes integration method are then util...

In this paper, we use a combination of Legendre and Block-Pulse functionson the interval [0; 1] to solve the nonlinear integral equation of the second kind.The nonlinear part of the integral equation is approximated by Hybrid Legen-dre Block-Pulse functions, and the nonlinear integral equation is reduced to asystem of nonlinear equations. We give some numerical examples. To showapplicability of...

This research set out to evaluate the effect of combined biological and chemical nitrogen fertilizers on some corn hybrids. To this end an experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications. Main plots were included: use of chemical and biological fertilizers in four levels: 100% chemical fertilizer, 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% bio-...

Hybrid dynamic models describe hierarchical processes, which evolve according to different sets of lower level dynamic components depending on the upper level logical/discrete mode that characterizes the system, at any given point in time. In general hybrid systems consist of a finite set of modes of operation described in continuous time with differential equations. Continuous modes of operati...
