A Markov Chain Prediction Model on a Major Pair in the Currency Market

Emmanuel O. Oduselu-Hassan^*

The Markov chain prediction model is a type of stochastic model and very useful in predicting prices of stocks and exchange rates with outcomes that appear to be random in nature due to many factors that influence the price movement. The uncertainty in the price of the stocks and exchange rates arose. from the many factors, which include the economy of the region, financial and economic news of ot...

Modeling The Fluid Flow for Seepage Problem: A Crank-Nicolson Approach

A. A. Hassan^*, I. O. Abiala, J. S. Aroloye

The two-dimensional Laplace equation (which models the fluid flow of the seepage problem) was solved by a finite difference method, which is the Crank-Nicolson Method (CNM) subject to some boundary and initial conditions. We compared the numerical results of CNM to the Alternating Direction Explicit Finite Difference Scheme (ADES). First, we derived the finite differential form of the implicit, ex...

A Class of Implicit Five Step Hybrid Method for Solving First Order Initial Value Problem

L. Idris^*, Y. A. Yahaya, U. Mohammed

In this paper, a self-starting five step continuous block hybridformulae (CBHF) with one Off-step point is developed using col-location and interpolation procedures. The CBHF is then used toproduce multiple numerical integrators that are of uniform orderand are assembled in to a single block matrix equation. Theseequations are simultaneously applied to provide the approximatesolution for the ordin...

Unsteady Mhd Oscillatory Flow Through A Porous Channel Saturated With Porous Medium

S. A. Onitilo^*

In this paper, we investigate the effect of suction/injection on the unsteady oscillatory flow through a vertical channel with non-uniform wall temperature. The fluid is subjected to a transverse magnetic field, and the velocity slip at the lower plate is taken into consideration. Exact solutions of the dimensionless equations governing the fluid flow are obtained, and the effects of the flow para...

Application of Variational Iteration Method to Linear and Non-Linear Stiff Differential Equations

M. O. Olayiwola^*

In this paper, the variational iteration method (VIM) is usedto solve linear, non-linear and system of sti di erentialequations numerically. The numerical solutions obtained isin good agreement with the exact solutions of problems un-der investigations. The method is a promising tool for thesolution of stiff differential equations for the three systems.

Result on the Existence and Uniqueness of the Fixed Point with Mann Iteration in a Complete G-Metric Space

A. A. Idowu^*, B. Y. Aiyetan, K. Rauf, L. Aminu

In this research, we prove the existence and uniqueness ofthe mixed point in a complete G-metric space using severalgeneralised contractive conditions formulated in G-metricsettings, taking Mann-iteration as our iterative procedure. Our results improve and extend some well-knownresults in the literature. We have utilized these conceptsto deduce that Mann iterative procedure is G-convergent,G-Cauch...
