Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Zero-Stable Optimal Order Method for Direct Solution of Second Order Differential EquationsKayode Sunday JacobProblem statement: In this study, a numerical method for direct solution of general second order differential equations was considered in order to circumvent the problems of computational burden and computer time wastage associated with method of reduction to system of first order equations. The issue of zero stability of higher order methods is considered in the development of the method. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,068 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Multiderivative Collocation Method for 5th Order Ordinary Differential EquationsS. J. Kayode, D. O. AwoyemiProblem statement: The conventional methods of solving higher order differential equations have been by reducing them to systems of first order equations. This approach is cumbersome and increases computational time. Approach: To address this problem, a numerical algorithm for direct solution of 5th order initial value problems in ordinary differential equations (odes), using power series as basis function, is proposed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,928 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleExterior Differential Systems for Higher Order Partial Differential EquationsPaul BrackenThe theory of exterior differential systems is applied to study integrability of a set of related partial differential equations expressed in the terms of differential forms using Cartan's method. The Camassa-Holm equation and the Degasperis-Procesi equations are special cases that are described by these exterior differential systems. Some conservation laws are obtained in the cases of the more relevant equations. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCost Analysis of Two-Dissimilar-Unit Cold Standby System with three States and Preventive Maintenance Using Linear First Order Differential EquationsM. Y. HaggagProblem statement: Several researchers have studied the reliability behavior of a three state systems, but no attention was paid to the reliability evaluation due to preventive maintenance. The better maintenance of the system originates better reliability. Also, standby support increases the reliability of the system. Approach: Determine the efficacy of preventive maintenance on the reliability and performance of the system. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,873 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA New Block Method for Special Third Order Ordinary Differential EquationsB. T. Olabode, Y. YusuphA linear multistep method for the direct solution of initial value problems of ordinary differential equations was presented in this article. Collocation approximation method was adopted in the derivation of the scheme and then the scheme was applied as simultaneous integrator to special third order initial value problem of ordinary differential equations. The new block method possessed the desirable feature … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,707 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEvaluation of Reliability and Availability Characteristics of Two Different Systems by Using Linear First Order Differential EquationsKhaled M. El-Said, Mohamed S. EL-SherbenyThis study deals with the reliability and availability characteristics of two different series system configurations. The second system differs from the first system due to the additional feature of preventive maintenance. The failure times of a components are assumed to be exponentially distributed with parameters α,β,α' and β', respectively. The replacement time distribution of each server is also exponentially distributed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,659 accessesView PDFCite
