Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHalf-bounded Numerical Solution of Singular Integral Equations with Cauchy KernelM. Abdulkawi, Z. K. Eshkuvatov, N.M.A. Nik LongProblem statement: In this study, a numerical solution for singular integral equations of the first kind with Cauchy kernel over the finite segment [-1,1] is presented. The numerical solution is bounded at x =1 and unbounded at x = -1. Approach: The numerical solution is derived by approximating the unknown density function using the weighted Chebyshev polynomials of the fourth … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,269 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUsing Regression to Establish Weights for a Set of Composite Equations through a Numerical Analysis Approach: A Case of Admission Criteria to a CollegeRamzi Naim Nasser, Viviane NaimyProblem statement: Mathematically little is known of college admission criteria as in school grade point average, admission test scores or rank in class and weighting of the criteria into a composite equation. Approach: This study presented a method to obtain weights on “composite admission” equation. The method uses an iterative procedure to build a prediction equation for an optimal weighted … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,179 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA New Newton's Method with Diagonal Jacobian Approximation for Systems of Nonlinear EquationsM. Y. Waziri, W. J. Leong, M. A. Hassan, M. MonsiProblem statement: The major weaknesses of Newton method for nonlinear equations entail computation of Jacobian matrix and solving systems of n linear equations in each of the iterations. Approach: In some extent function derivatives are quit costly and Jacobian is computationally expensive which requires evaluation (storage) of n×n matrix in every iteration. Results: This storage requirement became unrealistic when n … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,538 accessesView PDFCite
