The main objective of the study is to compare the Newton-Cotes methods such as the Trapezium rule, Simpson 1/3 rule and Simpson 3/8 rule to estimate the area under the Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient of income using polynomial function with degree 5. Comparing the Gini coefficients of income computed from the Polynomial function with degree 5 for the Trapezium, Simpson 1/3 and Simpson 3/8 met...

2. Write a Matlab script of no more than 10 lines to calculate the Newton-Cotes quadrature weights wj , j = 1, 2, . . . , n, n + 1; go to the end of this handout for more details about wj . For uniformity, we require that the script starts with the four lines n=2; h=1/n; nodes=(0:h:1)’; f=eye(n+1); where the j-th column of the matrix f are needed for the Lagrange interpolation in order to find ...

The main purpose of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of the Quarter-Sweep Gauss-Seidel (QSGS) method in solving the dense linear systems generated from the discretization of the linear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. In addition, the applications of the various orders of closed Newton-Cotes quadrature discretization schemes will be investigated in order to form linear ...

and hosti 013.02.0 Abstract A numerical method based on an NM-set of general, hybrid of block-pulse function and Taylor series (HBT), is proposed to approximate the solution of nonlinear Volterra–Fredholm integral equations. The properties of HBT are first presented. Also, the operational matrix of integration together with Newton-Cotes nodes are utilized to reduce the computation of nonlinear ...

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...

For the unit sphere embedded in a Euclidean space, we obtain quadrature formulas that are exact for spherical harmonics of a fixed order, have nonnegative weights, and are based on function values at scattered points (sites). The number of scattered sites required is comparable to the dimension of the space for which the quadrature formula is required to be exact. As a part of the proof, we der...

In this paper we solve the problem about optimal interval quadrature formula for the class WrF of differentiable periodic functions with rearrangement invariant set F of their derivatives of order r. We prove that the formula with equal coefficients and n node intervals having equidistant midpoints is optimal for considering classes. To this end a sharp inequality for antiderivatives of rearran...

Similar as in the classical case of polynomials, as is known, paraorthogonal rational functions on the unit circle can be used to obtain quadrature formulas of Szegő-type to approximate some integrals. In the present paper we carry out a thorough discussion of the existence of such rational functions in terms of the underlying Borel measure on the unit circle
