The method leverages integrals of the Gaussian kernel, introducing new weights for problem-solving. Analytical solutions to approximate the derivatives of a function are derived and computed on a stencil with both non-uniform and uniform distances. Our observations indicate that the analytical weights exhibit greater stability compared to the numerical weights when addressing problems. In the final step, we use the derived formulations to solve a multi-dimensional option pricing problem in finance. The results demonstrate that our proposed numerical method outperforms in terms of numerical accuracy across grids of different sizes. Given the multi-dimensional nature of the dealing model, which involves handling a basket of assets, our approach becomes particularly relevant for assessing and managing financial risks.","PeriodicalId":55218,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Mathematics with Applications","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142986232","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}

However, on the one hand, the convergence rate of the isogeometric collocation method is lower than that of the isogeometric Galerkin (IGA-G) method; on the other hand, the freedom of the numerical solution cannot be determined in advance to reach specified precision. In this paper, we model the solution of PDEs using IGA-L as a data fitting problem, in which the linear combination of the numerical solution and its derivatives is employed to fit the load function. Moreover, we develop a composite iterative method combining the least-squares progressive-iterative approximation (LSPIA) with the three-order Schulz iteration to solve the data fitting problem. The convergence of composite iterative method is proved, and the error bound is analyzed. Numerical results demonstrate that the convergence rate of the composite iterative method for IGA-L is nearly the same as that of IGA-G. Finally, we propose an incremental fitting algorithm with the composite iterative method, by which the freedom of numerical solution can be determined automatically to reach the specified fitting precision.","PeriodicalId":55218,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Mathematics with Applications","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142986230","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}

Despite notable advantages, these methods have encountered limited acceptance within the fluid flow community, primarily due to the lack of robust and efficient nonlinear solvers for the algebraic equations arising from discretization using NIM. A preconditioned Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov approach has been recently developed to solve Navier-Stokes equations to overcome this limitation. The developed approach has extended the acceptability of NIM and demonstrated considerable gains in computational time. However, a challenge persists in the efficiency of the proposed approach, particularly in solving the pressure Poisson equation. Addressing this, we offer novel strategies and algorithms to solve the pressure Poisson equation. These strategies aim to improve the computational efficiency of NIMs, making them more effective in solving complex problems in scientific and engineering applications.","PeriodicalId":55218,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Mathematics with Applications","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142986231","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 method is further investigated for the spreading of droplets on a flat and a spherical surface, respectively, for which excellent agreement with the reference solutions is obtained. Furthermore, a validation study using a droplet spreading test case is carried out. The uncompensated Young stress is introduced in the contact angle boundary condition, which significantly improves the validation of the numerical method.
