Abstract In the earliest discussion of this problem Nicholson (1) expressed the potential as a series of spheroidal harmonics with coefficients satisfying an infinite system of linear equations, and gave a formula for an explicit solution; but this formula appears to be meaningless and its derivation to contain serious errors. In the present paper, starting tentatively from Nicholson's infinite system of linear equations, a much simpler, though still implicit, specification of the potential is developed; this involves a Fredholm integral equation the existence and uniqueness of whose solution are deducible from standard theory. The specification so obtained for the potential is shown rigorously to satisfy the differential equation and boundary conditions of the electrostatic problem. The Neumann series of the integral equation is shown to converge to its solution, so that the potential, and other aspects of the field, can be explicitly formulated and thus computed. The errors in Nicholson's process of solving his system of equations are exhibited in detail, and it is concluded that attempts to carry through that process without error cannot lead to an explicit solution.

We introduce a new combination of Bernstein polynomials (BPs) and Block-Pulse functions (BPFs) on the interval [0, 1]. These functions are suitable for finding an approximate solution of the second kind integral equation. We call this method Hybrid Bernstein Block-Pulse Functions Method (HBBPFM). This method is very simple such that an integral equation is reduced to a system of linear equations. On the other hand, convergence analysis for this method is discussed. The method is computationally very simple and attractive so that numerical examples illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of this method.

Abstract In a previous paper by the author (1), a theoretical solution for a notched strip under longitudinal tension is given. The result demands the solution of an infinite system of linear equations. A considerable amount of labor is involved in solving such a system. It seems, however, that the labor can be diminished by adapting to the solution a process known as the promotion of rank. In this paper such a process is described and then applied to solve the problem of a notched strip under transverse bending. The solution of this problem seems also to be new. The numerical results obtained are compared graphically with the experimental results available.

Abstract In this paper, based on a quasi solution approach, i.e., a methodology involving minimization of a least squares cost functional, we study a backward space fractional diffusion equation. To this end, we give existence and uniqueness theorems of a quasi solution in an appropriate class of admissible initial data. In addition, in order to approximate the quasi solution, the finite element method is used. Since the obtained system of linear equations is ill-posed, we apply TSVD regularization. Finally, three numerical examples are given. Numerical results reveal the efficiency and applicability of the proposed method.

<p> In this contribution, we present novel global 3-D electromagnetic forward solver based on a numerical solution of integral equation (IE) with contracting kernel. Compared to widely used x3dg code which is also based on IE approach, new solver exploits alternative (more efficient and accurate) numerical algorithms to calculate Green’s tensors, as well as an alternative (Galerkin) method to construct the system of linear equations (SLE). The latter provides guaranteed convergence of the iterative solution of SLE. The solver outperforms x3dg in terms of accuracy, and, in contrast to (sequential) x3dg, it allows for efficient parallel computations, meaning that the code has practically linear scalability up to the hundreds of processors.</p>

This research is about computing the Green’s functions on simply connected regions by using the method of boundary integral equation. The method depends on solving a Dirichlet problem using a uniquely solvable Fredholm integral equation on the boundary of the region. The kernel of this integral equation is the generalized Neumann kernel. The numerical method for solving this integral equation is the Nystrӧm method with trapezoidal rule which leads to a system of linear equations. The linear system is then solved by the Gaussian elimination method. Mathematica plot of Green’s function for atest region is also presented.

In this paper, we present a new computational method for solving linear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind, which is based on the use of B-spline quasi-affine tight framelet systems generated by the unitary and oblique extension principles. We convert the integral equation to a system of linear equations. We provide an example of the construction of quasi-affine tight framelet systems. We also give some numerical evidence to illustrate our method. The numerical results confirm that the method is efficient, very effective and accurate.

In this paper, we consider period review (s, S) inventory systems with independent and identically distributed continuous demands and full backlogging. Using an approach recently proposed by Gong and Hu (1992), we derive an infinite system of linear equations for all moments of inventory level. Based on this infinite system, we develop two algorithms to calculate the moments of the inventory level. In the first one, we solve a finite system of linear equations whose solution converges to the moments as its dimension goes to infinity. In the second one, we in fact obtain the power series of the moments with respect to s and S. Both algorithms are based on some very simple recursive procedures. To show their efficiency and speed, we provide some numerical examples for the first algorithm.(s, S) INVENTORY SYSTEMS; DYNAMIC RECURSIVE EQUATIONS; INFINITE LINEAR EQUATIONS; MACLAURIN SERIES

We consider the integral equation arising as a result of heat radiation exchange in both convex and nonconvex enclosures of diffuse grey surfaces. For nonconvex geometries, the visibility function must be taken into consideration. Therefore, a geometrical algorithm has been developed to provide an efficient detection of the shadow zones. For the numerical realization of the Fredholm integral equation, a boundary element method based on Galerkin-Bubnov discretization scheme is implemented. Consequently, multigrid iteration methods, which are closely related to two-grid methods, are used to solve the system of linear equations. To demonstrate the high efficiency of these iterations, we construct some numerical experiments for different enclosure geometries.

Given an infinite system of linear equationswhere the aij depend on a parameter λ, the eigenvalue problem is to determine values of λ for which xj (j = 1, 2, …) are not all zero. This problem (Taylor (3) and Vaughan (4)) can arise in the vibration of rectangular plates. Little theoretical work, however, appears to have been done concerning the existence and determination of the eigenvalues. The usual procedure (see (3) and (4)) is to consider a truncated or reduced system of N equations and find the values of λ for which the determinant of the N × N matrix [aij] vanishes. If a particular λ tends to a constant value as N is increased then this value is assumed to be an eigenvalue. The question therefore arises as to what happens if no limit exists. Can we assert that there are no eigenvalues? By constructing an appropriate example we show that the non-existence of a limit does not imply the non-existence of eigenvalues. In order to construct our example we first establish a result concerning the Legendre polynomials.
