Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The value of applied numerical analysis and the power of computational modelling of real-life phenomena cannot be understated. The applications range from the computer, physical, life, and social sciences to engineering and emerging technologies. Further research in advancing applied and computational mathematics is indispensable for resolving real-life, engineering, technological, and scientific problems.

This Special Issue is dedicated to illustrating the numerical analysis and development of novel computational techniques and algorithms advancing diverse applications of mathematical modelling, theoretical physics, dynamical systems, differential and integral equations, optimization methods, structure-preserving methods, learning algorithms, and data-driven methods, but is not limited to these research fields only. With this Special Issue, we aim to appraise either the improvements of existing computational methods or demonstrate new algorithmic and computational methodologies, including learning and data-driven methods. For this Special Issue, theoretical and applied contributions with extensive numerical studies for different applications are welcome. Contributions demonstrating improved analytical results and computational efficiency of already existing or new algorithms as well as the discovery of new phenomena driven by the development of numerical algorithms are of particular interest.

This study introduces a novel, iterative algorithm that achieves fourth-order convergence for solving nonlinear equations. Satisfying the Kung–Traub conjecture, the proposed technique achieves an optimal order of four with an efficiency index (I) of 1.587, requiring three function evaluations. An analysis of convergence is presented to show the optimal fourth-order convergence. To verify the theoretical results, in-depth numerical comparisons are presented for both real and complex domains. The proposed algorithm is specifically examined on a variety of polynomial functions, and it is shown by the efficient and accurate results that it outperforms many existing algorithms in terms of speed and accuracy. The study not only explores the proposed method’s convergence properties, computational efficiency, and stability but also introduces a novel perspective by considering the count of black points as an indicator of a method’s divergence. By analyzing the mean number of iterations necessary for methods to converge within a cycle and measuring CPU time in seconds, this research provides a holistic assessment of both the efficiency and speed of iterative methods. Notably, the analysis of basins of attraction illustrates that our proposed method has larger sets of initial points that yield convergence. Full article

A theory for the calculation of the phase–lag and amplification–factor for explicit and implicit multistep techniques for first–order differential equations was recently established by the author. His presentation also covered how the approaches’ efficacy is affected by the elimination of the phase–lag and amplification–factor derivatives. This paper will apply the theory for computing the phase–lag and amplification–factor, originally developed for implicit multistep methods, to a subset of implicit methods, called backward differentiation formulae (BDF), and will examine the impact of the phase–lag and amplification–factor derivatives on the efficiency of these strategies. Next, we will show you the stability zones of these brand-new approaches. Lastly, we will discuss the results of numerical experiments and draw some conclusions about the established approaches.

This study aims to find the numerical solution of the Rosenau–Hyman and Fornberg–Whitham equations via the quintic B-spline collocation method. Quintic B-spline, along with finite difference and theta-weighted schemes, is used for the discretization and approximation purposes. The effectiveness and robustness of the procedure is assessed by comparing the computed results with the exact and available results in the literature using absolute and relative error norms. The stability of the proposed scheme is studied using von Neumann stability analysis. Graphical representations are drawn to analyze the behavior of the solution. Full article

Consider a class of coupled Stein equations arising from jump control systems. An operator Smith algorithm is proposed for calculating the solution of the system. Convergence of the algorithm is established under certain conditions. For large-scale systems, the operator Smith algorithm is extended to a low-rank structured format, and the error of the algorithm is analyzed. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the operator Smith iteration outperforms existing linearly convergent iterative methods in terms of computation time and accuracy. The low-rank structured iterative format is highly effective in approximating the solutions of large-scale structured problems. Full article

The present manuscript proposes a computational approach to efficiently tackle a class of two-point boundary value problems that features third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Specifically, this approach is based upon a combination of the shooting method with a modification of the renowned Adomian decomposition method. The approach starts by transforming the governing BVP into two appropriate initial-value problems, and thereafter, solves the resulting IVPs recurrently. In addition, the application of this method to varied test models remains feasible—of course, this is supported by the competing Runge–Kutta method, among others, and reported through comparison plots and tables.

In this article, we present a numerical iterative scheme for solving a non-local singular initial-boundary value problem by combining two well known efficient methods. Namely, the homotopy analysis method and the double Laplace transform method. The resulting scheme is tested on a set of test examples to illustrate its efficiency, it generates the exact analytical solution for each one of these examples. The convergence of the resulting numerical solutions of these examples is tested both graphically and numerically. Full article
