We introduce a radial basis collocation method to solve axially moving beam problems

Collocation methods are popular in providing numerical approximations to complicated governing equations owing to their simplicity in implementation. However, point collocation methods have limitations regarding accuracy and have been modified upon with the application of B-spline approximations. The present study reports the stress and deformation behavior of shear deformable functionally grad...

The current study is an attempt to investigate the impact of decision-making (selecting and matching) tasks and production (creation of sentences and completion of sentences) tasks on the collocational knowledge of Iranian intermediate EFL learners. To this end, sixty EFL learners were divided into two experimental (decision-making and production) groups. To determine the effects of the tasks, ...

Open Source development is highly distributed and parallel in nature. There are no definite boundaries, either for people or from where they work. This high level of parallel, distributed development leads to conflicting changes made concurrently by different developers. Because OSS developers lack the kinds of informal coordination opportunities that collocation offers, OSS developers must rel...

In this paper we introduce a measure for calculating statistically significant collocation sets that is related to the Poisson distribution. We show that results calculated using this measure are comparable to well-known measures like the log-likelihood measure. Additionally, we discuss asymptotic behaviour and additivity as general properties of the measure which may be applied to the analysis...

We describe a mesh selection strategy for the numerical solution of boundary value problems for singular ordinary differential equations. This mesh adaptation procedure is implemented in our MATLAB code sbvp which is based on polynomial collocation. We prove that under realistic assumptions our mesh selection strategy serves to approximately equidistribute the global error of the collocation so...
