A collocation procedure is developed for the linear and nonlinear Fredholm and Volterra integro-differential equations, using the globally defined B-spline and auxiliary basis functions.The solution is collocated by cubic B-spline and the integrand is approximated by the Newton-Cotes formula. The error analysis of proposed numerical method is studied theoretically. Numerical results are given t...

We consider a Gaussian type quadrature rule for some classes of integrands involving highly oscillatory functions of the form f (x) = f 1 (x) sin ζ x + f 2 (x) cos ζ x, where f 1 (x) and f 2 (x) are smooth, ζ ∈ R. We find weights σ ν and nodes x ν , ν = 1, 2,. .. , n, in a quadrature formula of the form 1 −1 f (x) dx ≈ n ν=1 σ ν f (x ν) such that it is exact for all polynomials f 1 (x) and f 2 ...

Let q ≥ 1 be an integer, Sq be the unit sphere embedded in Rq+1, and μq be the volume element of Sq. For x0 ∈ Sq, and α ∈ (0, π), let Sα(x0) denote the cap {ξ ∈ Sq : x0 · ξ ≥ cosα}. We prove that for any integer m ≥ 1, there exists a positive constant c = c(q,m), independent of α, with the following property. Given an arbitrary set C of points in Sα(x0), satisftying the mesh norm condition max ...

In this paper we wish to present a new class of tight frames on the sphere. These frames have excellent pointwise localization and approximation properties. These properties are based on pointwise localization of kernels arising in the spectral calculus for certain self-adjoint operators, and on a positive-weight quadrature formula for the sphere that the authors have recently developed. Improv...

In order to approximate the integral I( f ) = ∫ b a f (x)dx, where f is a sufficiently smooth function, models for quadrature rules are developed using a given panel of n (n ≥ 2) equally spaced points. These models arise from the undetermined coefficients method, using a Newton’s basis for polynomials. Although part of the final product is algebraically equivalent to the well known closed Newto...
