However, when employing the direct or standard method of performing computations using infinitely smooth kernels, a conflict arises between the accuracy that can be theoretically attained and the numerical stability. In other words, when the shape parameter tends to zero, the operational matrix for the standard bases with infinitely smooth kernels become severely ill-conditioned. This conflict can be managed applying hybrid kernels. The hybrid kernels extend the approximation space and provide high flexibility to strike the best possible balance between accuracy and stability. In the current study, an innovative approach using hybrid radial kernels (HRKs) is provided to solve weakly singular Fredholm integral equations (WSFIEs) of the second kind in a meshless scheme. The approach employs hybrid kernels built on dispersed nodes as a basis within the discrete collocation technique. This method transforms the problem being studied into a linear system of algebraic equations. Also, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is utilized to calculate the optimal parameters for the hybrid kernels, which is based on minimizing the maximum absolute error (MAE). We also study the error estimate of the suggested scheme. Lastly, we assess the accuracy and validity of the hybrid technique by carrying out various numerical experiments. The numerical findings show that the estimates obtained from hybrid kernels are significantly more accurate in solving WSFIEs compared to pure kernels. Additionally, it was revealed that the hybrid bases remain stable across various values of the shape parameters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50226,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics","volume":"473 ","pages":"Article 116848"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144366379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The noble feature of the model is to control the arrival of customers in the system through the implementation of <em>F</em>-policy. In this model, when a customer arrives and finds the server busy, they are compelled to join a retrial orbit and retry for service after a certain period. In the presence of long queues, customers may become discouraged and choose not to join the system or leave without being served. The queue size distribution for the system is obtained by using the steady-state Chapman–Kolmogorov (C–K) equations with a supplementary variable for the remaining service time. These equations are then solved using the Laplace-Stieltjes transform (LST) and the recursive technique. Various performance measures are established based on the queue size distribution to explore the system’s behavior. Moreover, this study explores the application of machine learning (ML) techniques in predicting the waiting time of customers in the system and the reneging rate of customers with respect to system size in diverse industries relying on queueing systems such as railway ticket counters, hospitals, and banks. We also formulate a fuzzy cost function where the cost components are represented as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The signed distance method is utilized to defuzzify the cost function, converting it into a crisp value for practical implementation. In order to achieve the minimum cost of the system corresponding to the optimal values for decision variables, two optimization techniques, namely the sine cosine algorithm (SCA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), are implemented.

However, the existing surface density-equalizing mapping methods are only applicable to surfaces with relatively simple topologies but not surfaces with topological holes. In this work, we develop a novel algorithm for computing density-equalizing maps for toroidal surfaces. In particular, different shape deformation effects can be easily achieved by prescribing different population functions on the torus and performing diffusion-based deformations on a planar domain with periodic boundary conditions. Furthermore, the proposed toroidal density-equalizing mapping method naturally leads to an effective method for computing toroidal parameterizations of genus-one surfaces with controllable area changes, with the toroidal area-preserving parameterization being a prime example.

The proposed approach decomposes the governing equations into convective and source components: while convection is resolved via an LTS Godunov scheme, geometric source terms—arising from nozzle area variations (quasi-1D) or cylindrical coordinate transformations (2D axisymmetric)—are discretized using a novel combination of explicit and exact schemes. Numerical validations include: (1) quasi-1D cases under supersonic start/non-start conditions (internal shocks near outlets) at CFL ≤8.0, demonstrating shock-capturing accuracy with 55 % RMS error reduction at CFL = 8.0; (2) 2D hypersonic nozzle flows (Mach 4.0 design), achieving stable simulations at CFL = 5.0 with <1 % exit Mach deviation and 66 % runtime reduction.
