Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the poles of functions represented by continued fractions whose approximants lie on the main diagonal of two-point Pade tables are computed simultaneously, and sufficient conditions are given to ensure that the computations can be carried out and that the resulting approximations converge to the desired poles.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the usual Sturmanian sequence for finding the eigenvalues of a tridiagonal matrix arising from the radial Schroedinger equation is found to be unstable and a self-stabilising continued fraction approach is suggested.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to address the computational characteristics which would concern a system designer in the consideration of the selection of an effective algorithm to implement a two-point boundary value problem solution.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a Monte Carlo method for solving systems of nonlinear equations is presented and discussed, which does not require the differentiation of left side functions of the system and provides the solution with arbitrary accuracy, although it may be applied only to systems with not too large a number of equations.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors established results of high accuracy for the two-point boundary value problem and derived a derivation of the approximation for large n 3 for the case n is real and positive.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a high order perturbation solution of the electrochemical smoothing problem is investigated, which is found to diverge for large time periods unless a reinitialization is attempted.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the Laplace transform is used to eliminate the time-dependency and to produce a subsidiary equation which is then solved in complex arithmetic by finite difference methods, which obviates the need to evaluate the solution at a large number of unwanted intermediate time points.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, an efficient technique for deriving an interpolation polynomial as well as a useful error analysis is presented. But this approach is not suitable for the complex domain.
