‎In this paper‎, ‎an approach based on statistical spline model (SSM) and collocation method is proposed to solve Volterra-Fredholm integral equations‎. ‎The set of collocation nodes is chosen so that the points yield minimal error in the nodal polynomials‎. ‎Under some standard assumptions‎, ‎we establish the convergence property of this approach‎. ‎Numerical results on some problems are given...

We study the nonsymmetric algebraic Riccati equation whose four coefficient matrices are the blocks of a nonsingular M -matrix or an irreducible singular M -matrix M . The solution of practical interest is the minimal nonnegative solution. We show that Newton’s method with zero initial guess can be used to find this solution without any further assumptions. We also present a qualitative perturb...

The main goal of this note is to introduce another second-order differenceequation where every nontrivial solution is of minimal period 5, namelythe difference equation:xn+1 =1 + xn−1xnxn−1 − 1, n = 1, 2, 3, . . .with initial conditions x0 and x1 any real numbers such that x0x1 6= 1.

Stereo rectification is the determination of two image transformations (or homographies) that map corresponding points on images, projections same point in 3D space, onto horizontal line transformed images. Rectification used to simplify subsequent stereo correspondence problem and speeding up matching process. Rectifying transformations, general, introduce perspective distortion obtained which...
