In this study‎, ‎an efficient method is presented for solving infinite boundary integro-differential equations (IBI-DE) of the second kind with degenerate kernel in terms of Laguerre polynomials‎. ‎Properties of these polynomials and operational matrix of integration are first presented‎. ‎These properties are then used to transform the integral equation to a matrix equation which corresponds t...

In this paper, we develop a numerical resolution of the space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation. We utilize spectral-collocation method combining with a product integration technique in order to discretize the terms involving spatial fractional order derivatives that leads to a simple evaluation of the related terms. By using Bernstein polynomial basis, the problem is transformed in...

The paper takes into account both the concerns of the EU, arguing that convergence is incomplete, and the demands from accession countries, claiming that monetary integration is optimal. Indicators are developed which measure convergence and optimality in comparison with a reference group of the four EMU-member countries Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and Spain. The general conclusion is that the d...

In multiple research literatures, successful collaborative problem solving and learning is analyzed in terms of success of information sharing. In this paper we report analyses of an experimental study that bring the sufficiency of an information sharing account of collaboration into question. One treatment group achieved greater convergence and integration of information in their handling of a...

In this paper we study the convergence of the numerical path integration method which produces approximate probability density functions for the solutions of stochastic differential equations. This method enjoys several advantages compared to path-wise approximation schemes. We prove that the approximate probability densities converge strongly in L1 to the probability density of the stochastic ...

we develop and apply the product integration method to a large class of linear weakly singular volterra systems. we show that under certain sufficient conditions this method converges. numerical implementation of the method is illustrated by a benchmark problem originated from heat conduction.

Evidence of financial integration and convergence are considered of importance in assessing the outcome of EU deregulation policies aimed at improving the efficiency and performance of banking sectors. This paper evaluates the recent dynamics of bank cost efficiency by means of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Borrowing from the growth literature, we apply dynamic panel data models (GMM) to the...

This paper argues that an essential step in the evolution to the information superhighway, is the convergence of a host of discrete information industries into one. Most importantly among these is the integration of the telephony and CATV networks. This convergence is occurring primarily because of changing technological and competitive forces. The integration of these networks is not only inev...

This paper argues that an essential step in the evolution to the information superhighway, is the convergence of a host of discrete information industries into one. Most importantly among these is the integration of the telephony and CA TV networks. This convergence is occurring primarily because of changing technological and competitive forces. The integration of these networks is not only ine...

investigation of long run space integration (si) and convergence in agricultural market is very important, because it shows that price differenc of integrated markets is equal to marketing cost in long run and there are the law of one price (lop) in these markets. in this study, si and lop in bony fish market in mazandaran and guilan provinces are investigated. therefore, markets of kutum, carp...
