Abstract: In the present paper, the modified cubic B-spline differential quadrature method (MCB-DQM) has been implemented for the numerical computation of two-dimensional biological population model (BPM). The method is based on differential quadrature in which the weighting coefficients are computed by using MCB as a set of basis functions. We present three test problems to confirm the efficie...

In this paper we obtain, by simple means, interior maximum-norm estimates for a class of Ritz-Galerkin methods used for approximating solutions of second order elliptic boundary value problems in R . The estimates are proved when the approximating subspaces are any of a large class of piecewise polynomial subspaces which we assume here to be defined on a uniform mesh on the interior domain. Opt...

We consider the stability and convergence analysis of pressure stabilized finite element approximations of the transient Stokes’ equation. The analysis is valid for a class of symmetric pressure stabilization operators, but also for standard, inf-sup stable, velocity/pressure spaces without stabilization. Provided the initial data is chosen as a specific (method dependent) Ritz-projection, we g...

Large isoparametric macroelements with closed-form cardinal global shape functions under the label ‘Coons-patch macroelements’ (CPM) have been previously proposed and used in conjunction with the finite element method and the boundary element method. This paper continues the research on the performance of CPM in conjunction with the collocation method. In contrast to the previous CPM that was b...

The problem of the out of plane buckling of polar orthotropic armuli under uniform internal or external pressure loading has been investigated with the assumption of axisymmetry by numerous researchers. In this paper, the buckling of polar and rectilinearly orthotropic annuli subjected to internal or external pressure loading is examined without restriction to axisymmetric buckling modes. The b...
