the purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to assess the retention of two word types (synonyms and homonyms) in the short term memory, and (b) to investigate the effect of these word types on word learning by asking learners to learn their persian meanings. a total of 73 iranian language learners studying english translation participated in the study. for the first purpose, 36 freshmen from an ...

A numerical method for solving nonlinear mixed Hammerstein integral equations is presented in this paper. The method is based upon hybrid of rationalized Haar functions approximations. The properties of hybrid functions which are the combinations of block-pulse functions and rationalized Haar functions are first presented. The Newton-Cotes nodes and Newton-Cotes integration method are then util...

In this paper we describe a variant of the Inexact Newton method for solving nonlinear systems of equations. We define a nonmonotone Inexact Newton step and a nonmonotone backtracking strategy. For this nonmonotone Inexact Newton scheme we present the convergence theorems. Finally, we show how we can apply these strategies to Inexact Newton Interior–Point method and we present some numerical ex...

the ultimate aim of scientific research is to understand the natural world. in order to achieve this goal, Western science has relied on different cognitive strategies, including simplification, both in terms of analysis and explanation. as the British natural philosopher Sir isaac Newton (1643–1727) put it, “truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multi­ plicity and confusi...

in this paper, we propose a parametric uniform approximation method to solve np-hard absolute value equations. for this, we uniformly approximate absolute value in such a way that the nonsmooth absolute value equation can be formulated as a smooth nonlinear equation. by solving the parametric smooth nonlinear equation using newton method, for a decreasing sequence of parameters, we can get the ...

In this paper, some meshless methods based on the local Newton basis functions are used to solve some time dependent partial differential equations. For stability reasons, used variably scaled radial kernels for constructing Newton basis functions. In continuation, with considering presented basis functions as trial functions, approximated solution functions in the event of spatial variable wit...

In this paper we present several algorithms related to the global total least squares (GTLS) modelling of multivariable time series observed over a finite time interval. A GTLS model is a linear, time-invariant finite-dimensional system with a behaviour that has minimal Frobenius distance to a given observation. The first algorithm determines this distance. We also give a recursive version of t...
