Functional continuous Runge–Kutta methods with reuse

Effective order strong stability preserving RungeKutta methods

We apply the concept of effective order to strong stability preserving (SSP) explicit Runge–Kutta methods. Relative to classical Runge–Kutta methods, effective order methods are designed to satisfy a relaxed set of order conditions, but yield higher order accuracy when composed with special starting and stopping methods. The relaxed order conditions allow for greater freedom in the design of ef...

Measurement of Functional Reuse

This position paper addresses the measurement of software reuse from a functional perspective rather than from a technical perspective. Many studies have observed that the potential for reuse in software goes far beyond the reuse of source lines of code and includes data, architecture , design, program and common subsystem modules, documentation, test data and various intangibles. These issues ...

Existence and continuous dependence for fractional neutral functional differential equations

In this paper, we investigate the existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence of solutions of fractional neutral functional differential equations with infinite delay and the Caputo fractional derivative order, by means of the Banach's contraction principle and the Schauder's fixed point theorem.

Applying Concept Formation Methods to Software Reuse

This paper describes an approach to software reuse that involves generating and retrieving abstractions from existing software systems using concept formation methods. The potential of the approach is illustrated through two important activities of the reuse process. First, the concept hierarchy generated by the concept formation methods is used for organizing and retrieving the artifacts insid...
