This technical report describes three approaches for solving the Differential Riccati Equation (DRE), by means of the Backward Differentiation Formula (BDF) and resolution of the corresponding implicit equation, using Newton's method. These approaches are based on: GMRES method, resolution of Sylvester equation and fixed point method. The role and use of DRE is especially important in optimal c...

Dynamical systems can often be decomposed into loosely coupled subsystems. The system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) modelling such a problem can then be partitioned corresponding to the subsystems, and the loose couplings can be exploited by special integration methods to solve the problem using a parallel computer or just solve the problem more efficiently than by standard methods....

An exponentially fitted second derivative extended backward differentiation formula (SDEBDF) is derived from the class of composite, multiderivative linear multistep method with a free parameter to allow for the exponential fitting. Some numerical properties such as stability of the methods are investigated as a pair of predictor-corrector (P-C) technique based on a proposed algorithm, to which...

In this paper, a new learning method is proposed to build Support Vector Machines (SVMs) Binary Decision Functions (BDF) of reduced complexity and efficient generalization. The aim is to build a fast and efficient SVM classifier. A criterion is defined to evaluate the Decision Function Quality (DFQ) which blendes recognition rate and complexity of a BDF. Vector Quantization (VQ) is used to simp...

A single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) is an instance of a neutrosophic set, which can be used to handle uncertainty, imprecise, indeterminate, and inconsistent information in real life. In this paper, a new distance measure between two SVNSs is defined by the full consideration of truthmembership function, indeterminacy-membership function, and falsity-membership function for the forward and ...

In this paper a one parameter predictor–corrector method, which we call it A-EBDF, is introduced and analyzed. With a modification of A-BDF and EBDF methods we propose a multistep method whose region of absolute stability is larger than those of A-BDF and EBDF methods. © 2004 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Given a function f ∈ C[0, 1] and some q ∈ (0, 1), we look at the approximation for the Hadamard finite-part integral = ∫ 1 0 x−q−1f(x)dx based on a piecewise linear interpolant for f at n equispaced nodes (i.e., the product trapezoidal rule). The main purpose of this paper is to give sufficient conditions for the sequence of approximations to converge against the correct value of the integral i...

Implicit-explicit (IMEX) linear multistep time-discretization schemes for partial differential equations have proved useful in many applications. However, they tend to have undesirable time-step restrictions when applied to convection-diffusion problems, unless diffusion strongly dominates and an appropriate BDF-based scheme is selected (Ascher et al., 1995). In this paper, we develop Runge-Kut...
