It is suggested that the convergence properties of the usual Picard successive approximation scheme may be improved through use of nonlinear extrapolation techniques. A numerical example is provided.

The method of nested multiplication is commonly used in function evaluation routines to evaluate approximation polynomials. New polynomial evaluation methods have been developed in recent years which ...

Abstract: This article discusses the development of an interval algorithm based on the method of successive approximations for solving optimal control problems under uncertainty of initial data. To ...

[Igor] made a VU meter with LEDs using 8 LEDs and 8 comparators. This is a fast way to get one of 8 bits to indicate an input voltage, but that’s only the equivalent of a 3-bit analog to digital ...

ABSTRACT: The behavior of beams with variable stiffness subjected to the action of variable loadings (impulse or harmonic) is analyzed in this paper using the successive approximation method. This ...

Department of Mathematics, University of Thies, Thies, Senegal. Problem involved in fluid structure interactions occurs in a wide variety of engineering problem and therefore has attracted the ...

Editor's note: We will publish this article in four sequential parts leading up to our “Ask the experts” session on Precision Voltage References on May 21. Alan Walsh will be one of our experts. The ...
