In many applications of ageand size-structured population models, there is an interest is obtaining good approximations of total population numbers rather than of their densities. Therefore, it is reasonable in such cases to solve numerically not the PDE model equations themselves, but rather their integral equivalents. For this purpose quadrature formulae are used in place of the integrals. Si...

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...

fuzzy newton-cotes method for integration of fuzzy functions that was proposed by ahmady in [1]. in this paper we construct error estimate of fuzzy newton-cotes method such as fuzzy trapezoidal rule and fuzzy simpson rule by using taylor's series. the corresponding error terms are proven by two theorems. we prove that the fuzzy trapezoidal rule is accurate for fuzzy polynomial of degree one and...

The use of computer algebra systems in a course on scientific computation is demonstrated. Various examples, such as the derivation of Newton’s iteration formula, the secant method, Newton–Cotes and Gaussian integration formulas, as well as Runge–Kutta formulas, are presented. For the derivations, the computer algebra system Maple is used.

The nonlinear free vibration for viscoelastic cross-ply moderately thick laminated composite plates under considering transverse shear deformation and damage effect is investigated. Based on the Timoshenko-Mindlin theory, strain-equivalence hypothesis, and Boltzmann superposition principle, the nonlinear free vibration governing equations for viscoelastic moderately thick laminated plates with ...

Abstract—In this paper, numerical solution of system of Fredholm and Volterra integral equations by means of the Spline collocation method is considered. This approximation reduces the system of integral equations to an explicit system of algebraic equations. The solution is collocated by cubic B-spline and the integrand is approximated by the Newton-Cotes formula. The error analysis of propose...

This article focuses on the process of approximating a definite integral from values of the integrand when exact mathematical integration is not available. This problem arises in statistics when marginal density functions or expected values of random variables are required. The article describes classical univariate quadrature methods including the trapezoidal rule, Simpson’s rule, Newton-Cotes...
