    Comparison of Refinement Accelerated Relaxation Iterative Techniques and Conjugate Gradient Technique for Linear Systems
    (Mathematical Association of Nigeria (MAN), 2022-10-05) Khaddejah James Audu
    Iterative methods use consecutive approximations to get more accurate results. A comparison of three iterative approaches to solving linear systems of this type 𝑀𝑦=𝐵 is provided in this paper. We surveyed the Refinement Accelerated Relaxation technique, Refinement Extended Accelerated Relaxation technique, and Conjugate Gradient technique, and demonstrated algorithms for each of these approaches in order to get to the solutions more quickly. The algorithms are then transformed into the Python language and used as iterative methods to solve these linear systems. Some numerical investigations were carried out to examine and compare their convergence speeds. Based on performance metrics such as convergence time, number of iterations required to converge, storage, and accuracy, the research demonstrates that the conjugate gradient method is superior to other approaches, and it is important to highlight that the conjugate gradient technique is not stationary. These methods can help in situations that are similar to finite differences, finite element methods for solving partial differential equations, circuit and structural analysis. Based on the results of this study, iteration techniques will be used to help analysts understand systems of linear algebraic equations.

    An Accelerated Iterative Technique: Third Refinement of Gauss–Seidel Algorithm for Linear Systems
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, Switszerland, 2023-04-28) Khaddejah James Audu; James Nkereuwem Essien
    Obtaining an approximation for the majority of sparse linear systems found in engineering and applied sciences requires efficient iteration approaches. Solving such linear systems using iterative techniques is possible, but the number of iterations is high. To acquire approximate solutions with rapid convergence, the need arises to redesign or make changes to the current approaches. In this study, a modified approach, termed the “third refinement” of the Gauss-Seidel algorithm, for solving linear systems is proposed. The primary objective of this research is to optimize for convergence speed by reducing the number of iterations and the spectral radius. Decomposing the coefficient matrix using a standard splitting strategy and performing an interpolation operation on the resulting simpler matrices led to the development of the proposed method. We investigated and established the convergence of the proposed accelerated technique for some classes of matrices. The efficiency of the proposed technique was examined numerically, and the findings revealed a substantial enhancement over its previous modifications

    Mathematical model of COVID-19 transmission dynamics incorporating booster vaccine program and environmental contamination
    (2022-11-12) Akinwande, N. I.; Ashezua, T. T.; Gweryina, R. I.; Somma, Samuel Abu; Oguntolu, F. A.; Usman, A.
    COVID-19 is one of the greatest human global health challenges that causes economic meltdown of many nations. In this study, we develop an SIR-type model which captures both human-to-human and environment-to-human-to-environment transmissions that allows the recruitment of corona viruses in the environment in the midst of booster vaccine program. Theoretically, we prove some basic properties of the full model as well as investigate the existence of SARS-CoV-2-free and endemic equilibria. The SARS-CoV-2-free equilibrium for the special case, where the constant inflow of corona virus into the environment by any other means, Ωis suspended (Ω =0)is globally asymptotically stable when the effective reproduction number 𝑅0𝑐<1and unstable if otherwise. Whereas in the presence of free-living Corona viruses in the environment (Ω >0), the endemic equilibrium using the centremanifold theory is shown to be stable globally whenever 𝑅0𝑐>1. The model is extended into optimal control system and analyzed analytically using Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle. Results from the optimal control simulations show that strategy E for implementing the public health advocacy, booster vaccine program, treatment of isolated people and disinfecting or fumigating of surfaces and dead bodies before burial is the most effective control intervention for mitigating the spread of Corona virus. Importantly, based on the available data used, the study also revealed that if at least 70%of the constituents followed the aforementioned public health policies, then herd immunity could be achieved for COVID-19 pandemic in the community.

    A 3-step block hybrid backward differentiation formulae (bhbdf) for the solution of general second order ordinary differential equation
    (New Trends in Mathematical Sciences, 2021-07-12) Hussaini Alhassan; Muhammad Raihanatu
    In this paper, the block hybrid Backward Differentiation formulae (BHBDF) for the step number k=3 is developed using power series as basis function for the solution of general second order ordinary differential equation. The idea of interpolation and collocation of the power series at some selected grid and off- grid points gave rise to continuous schemes which were further evaluated at those points to produce discrete schemes combined together to form block methods. Numerical problems were solved with the proposed methods and were found to perform effectively.

    (Akdeniz University, Turkey, 2025-12-30) Khadeejah James Audu; Michael Ogbole Ogwuche; Sıkırulaı Abolaji Akande; Yahaya Yusuph Amuda
    This study presents advancements in solving higher-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using the Variational Iterative Method (VIM) and compares its performance with the New Iteration Method (NIM) and Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). ODEs are critical in modeling the rate of change in various systems over time, and many do not have exact solutions, necessitating the use of numerical methods to obtain approximate results. While several iterative methods exist, a detailed comparison of VIM with other techniques, particularly for higher-order ODEs, is still lacking. This research focuses on understanding the principles and methodology of VIM and applying it to solve higher-order linear and nonlinear ODEs. The study evaluates the accuracy, convergence rate, and computational efficiency of VIM compared to NIM and ADM through the solution of third, fourth, and fifth-order differential problems. The results show that VIM outperforms NIM and ADM, with faster convergence and higher efficiency. Error analysis in Figures 1, 2, and 3 highlights the strengths and limitations of each method, providing valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in selecting the most appropriate technique for solving higher-order ODEs. These findings advance the development of iterative methods in numerical analysis and contribute to progress in the field of differential equations.

    (African Journal Online (AJOL), Soutrh Africa, 2022-06-06) 11. Lawal Adamu; Saidu Daudu Yakubu; Didigwu Ndidiamaka Edith; Abdullahi Abubakar; Khadeejah James Audu; Isaac Adaji.
    Providing the government and farmers with reliable and dependable information about crop yields before each growing season begins is the thrust of this research. A four-state stochastic model was formulated using the principle of Markov, each state of the model has three possible observations. The model is designed to make a forecast of yam yield in the next and subsequent growing seasons given the yam yield in the present growing season. The parameters of the model were estimated from the yam yield data of Niger state, Nigeria for the period of sixteen years(2001-2016). After which, the model was trained using Baum-Welch algorithm to attend maximum likelihood. A short time validity test conduct on the model showed good performance. Both the validity test and the future forecast shows prevalence of High yam yield, this attest to the reality on the ground, that Niger State is one of the largest producers of yam in Nigeria. The general performance of the model, showed that it is reliable therefore, the results from the model could serve as a guide to the yam farmers and the government to plan strategies for high yam production in the region.
