This is a brief survey of product-integration for biostatisticians. 1 Product-Integration Product-integration was introduced more than 110 years ago by the Italian mathematician Vito Volterra, as a tool in the solution of a certain class of differential equations. It was studied intensively by mathematicians for half a century, but finally the subject became unfashionable and lapsed into obscur...

in this paper, an effective direct method to determine the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear fredholm and volterra integral and integro-differential equations is proposed. the method is based on expanding the required approximate solution as the elements of chebyshev cardinal functions. the operational matrices for the integration and product of the chebyshev cardinal functions are des...

In this paper we establish Gauss-type quadrature formulas for weakly singular integrals. An application of the quadrature scheme is given to obtain numerical solutions of the weakly singular Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. We call this method a discrete product-integration method since the weights involved in the standard product-integration method are computed numerically.

In this paper, we propose and analyze an efficient matrix method based on Bell polynomials for numerically solving nonlinear Fredholm- Volterra integral equations. For this aim, first we calculate operational matrix of integration and product based on Bell polynomials. By using these matrices, nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integral equations reduce to the system of nonlinear algebraic equations w...

A new IIR (infinite impulse response) type digital fractional order differentiator (DFOD) is proposed by using a new family of first order digital differentiators expressed in the second order IIR filter form. The integer first order digital differentiators are obtained by the stable inversion of the weighted sum of Simpson integration rule and the trapezoidal integration rule. The distinguishi...

this paper presents a rational haar wavelet operational method for solving the inverse laplace transform problemand improves inherent errors from irrational haar wavelet. the approach is thus straightforward, rather simple andsuitable for computer programming. we define that $p$ is the operational matrix for integration of the orthogonalhaar wavelet. simultaneously, simplify the formulaes of li...

This paper introduces multi-terminal decision diagrams (MTDDs), a generalisation of MTBDDs [15], as a data structure for representing real-valued functions whose arguments are boolean or real variables. These new structures are suitable for numerical integration using quadrature formulas, like trapezoidal, Simpson and Romberg integration schemes. As an application example, we show how MTDDs can...
