An extended least-squares method is described which allows us to model the location and scale of a process parametrically without specifying any parametric form for the distribution of the errors. The degree of the associated polynomials is chosen using a step-down method on a table of p-values....

In this paper, a split least-squares characteristic mixed finite element method for a kind of Sobolev equation with convection term is proposed, in which the characteristic method is based on the approximation of the material derivative term, that is, the time derivative term plus the convection...

In this work we introduce a method, by using the least-squares method and a Schauder basis, which provides a numerical solution for a wide class of linear differential or integral equations. In addition, we give a convergence result and an application.

A kind of modified regularized long wave (MRLW) equation, with some initial conditions, is solved numerically by a split least-squares mixed element method (SLSMEM), which can be split into two independent symmetric positive definite sub-schemes and solved separately. This method is useful for...
