Hartley Series Direct Method for Variational Problems
The computational method based on using the operational matrix of anorthogonal function for solving variational problems is computeroriented. In this approach, a truncated Hartley series together withthe operational matrix of integration and integration of the crossproduct of two cas vectors are used for finding the solution ofvariational problems. Two illustrative...
متن کاملAnil N . Hirani In Partial
The language of modern mechanics is calculus on manifolds, and exterior calculus is an important part of that. It consists of objects like differential forms, general tensors and vector fields on manifolds, and operators that act on these. While the smooth exterior calculus has a long history going back to Cartan, Lie, Grassmann, Hodge, de Rham and many others, the need for a discrete calculus ...

متن کاملCohomologous Harmonic Cochains
We describe algorithms for finding harmonic cochains, an essential ingredient for solving elliptic partial differential equations using finite element or discrete exterior calculus. Harmonic cochains are also useful in computational topology and computer graphics. We focus on finding harmonic cochains cohomologous to a given cocycle. Amongst other things, this allows for localization near topol...
متن کاملNumerical solution of variational problems via Haar wavelet quasilinearization technique
In this paper, a numerical solution based on Haar wavelet quasilinearization (HWQ) is used for finding the solution of nonlinear Euler-Lagrange equations which arise from the problems in calculus of variations. Some examples of variational problems are given and outcomes compared with exact solutions to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method.
