This paper presents the development of a new numerical scheme for the solution of exponential growth and decay models emanated from biological sciences. The scheme has been derived via the combination of two interpolants namely, polynomial and exponential functions. The analysis of the local truncation error of the derived scheme is investigated by means of the Taylor’s series expansion. In order to test the performance of the scheme in terms of accuracy in the context of the exact solution, four biological models were solved numerically. The absolute error has been computed successfully at each mesh point of the integration interval under consideration. The numerical results generated via the scheme agree with the exact solution and with the fifth order convergence based upon the analysis carried out. Hence, the scheme is found to be of order five, accurate and is a good approach to be included in the class of linear explicit numerical methods for the solution of initial value problems in ordinary differential equations.

In this paper, the new traveling wave solutions containing the trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions and rational functions of [Formula: see text]-dimensional Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation are obtained. The graphs of the solution functions are presented by giving specific values to the constants. Numerical solutions are obtained by using finite difference method with new initial condition. Von Neumann’s Stability, Consistency and Linear Stability analysis of the equation are performed and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] norm errors are also examined with the truncation error. The exact solution obtained is presented via numerical solutions and absolute error graphs, and the analysis of exact solution and the numerical solutions are performed. Complex operations and graphical drawings were made using the computer package program.

Abstract The present paper focuses on the efficient numerical solving of initial-value problems (IVPs) using digital computers and one-step numerical methods. We start from considering that the integration stepsize is the crucial factor in determining the number of calculations required and the amount of work involved to obtain the approximate values of the exact solution of a certain problem for a given set of points, within a prescribed computational accuracy, is proportional to the number of accomplished iterations. We perform an analysis of the local truncation error and we derive an adaptive stepsize algorithm which coupled with a certain one-step numerical method makes the use of this structure more computationally effective and insures that the estimated values of the exact solution are in agreement with an imposed accuracy. We conclude with numerical computations proving the efficiency of the proposed step selection algorithm.

We propose a new algorithm for solving the terminal value problems on a q-difference equations. Through some transformations, the terminal value problems which contain the first- and second-order delta-derivatives have been changed into the corresponding initial value problems; then with the help of the methods developed by Liu and H. Jafari, the numerical solution has been obtained and the error estimate has also been considered for the terminal value problems. Some examples are given to illustrate the accuracy of the numerical methods we proposed. By comparing the exact solution with the numerical solution, we find that the convergence speed of this numerical method is very fast.

Inflow/Outflow conditions are formulated for time-harmonic waves in a duct governed by the Euler equations. These conditions are used to compute the propagation of acoustic and vortical disturbances and the scattering of vortical waves into acoustic waves by an annular cascade. The outflow condition is expressed in terms of the pressure, thus avoiding the velocity discontinuity across any vortex sheets. The numerical solutions are compared with the analytical solutions for acoustic and vortical wave propagation with and without the presence of vortex sheets. Grid resolution studies are also carried out to discern the truncation error of the numerical scheme from the error associated with numerical reflections at the boundary. It is observed that even with the use of exponentially accurate boundary conditions, the dispersive characteristics of the numerical scheme may result in small reflections from the boundary that slow convergence. Finally, the three-dimensional interaction of a wake with a flat plate cascade is computed and the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic results are compared with those of lifting surface methods.

In this paper, both the fifth-order Runge–Kutta numerical scheme and binary collision approximation are used to study the phase shift. Both numerical and theoretical results are shown that the solitary wave after head-on collision propagates along the chain behind the reference wave in both even and odd numbers of grain chains. It is the well-known feature of the appearance of the phase shift. Those results are in agreement with the experimental results. Furthermore, it is found that the phase shift is not only related to the collision position of the waves, but also to the position where the time is measured. The value of phase shift increases nonmonotonously with increasing the velocity of the opposite propagation of the wave. Binary collision approximation is applied to analyze the phase shift, and it is found that theoretical results agree well with numerical results, especially in the case of phase shift in odd chain.

In this paper, we study initial value problems for coupld second order delay differential equations with variable coefficients. By means of the application of the method of steps and the method of Frobenius, the exact solution of the problem is constrcted. Then, in a bounded domain, a finite analytic solution with error bounds is provided. Given an admissible errorϵwe give the number of terms to be taken in the infinite series exact solution so that the approximation error be smaller than in the bounded domain.

This paper deals with the numerical solution of the retarded potential integral equation using a collocation type boundary element method. This method is widely used in practice but often suffers from stability problems. The purpose of the paper is to carry out a stability analysis of the numerical scheme and examine how any instability arises. This paper will then propose a method for overcoming this stability problem. A comparison with an exact solution demonstrates that the approach proposed here is effective for the case of a sphere.
