A finite element method involving collocation method with quintic B-splines as basis functions has been developed to solve tenth order boundary value problems. The fifth order, sixth order, seventh order, eighth order, ninth order and tenth order derivatives for the dependent variable are approximated by the central differences of fourth order derivatives. The basis functions are redefined into...

A finite element method involving collocation method with Quintic B-splines as basis functions has been developed to solve fifth order boundary value problems. The fifth order derivative for the dependent variable is approximated by the finite differences. The basis functions are redefined into a new set of basis functions which in number match with the number of collocated points se lected in ...

Despite the availability of an abundant literature on singularly perturbed problems, interest toward non-linear problems has been limited. In particular, parameter-uniform methods for semilinear are quasi-non-existent. this article, we study a two-dimensional convection-diffusion problems. Our approach requires linearization continuous problem using quasilinearization technique. We then discret...

it is well-known that dam-reservoir interaction has significant effects on the response of dams to the earthquakes. this phenomenon should be considered more exactly in the seismic design of dams with a rational and reliable dynamic analysis method. in this research, seismic analysis of the dam-reservoir is studied as a wave propagation problem by using legendre spectral element method (sem). t...

In this article, we present a simple direct matrix method for analytically computing the Jacobian of nonlinear algebraic equations that arise from the discretization of nonlinear integrodifferential equations. This method is based on a formulation of the discretized equations in vector form using only matrix-vector products and component-wise operations. By applying simple matrixbased different...
