[ 1 ] - Numerical solution of Troesch's problem using Christov rational functions
We present a collocation method to obtain the approximate solution of Troesch's problem which arises in the confinement of a plasma column by radiation pressure and applied physics. By using the Christov rational functions and collocation points, this method transforms Troesch's problem into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The rate of convergence is shown to be exponential. The numer...
[ 2 ] - An analytic study on the Euler-Lagrange equation arising in calculus of variations
The Euler-Lagrange equation plays an important role in the minimization problems of the calculus of variations. This paper employs the differential transformation method (DTM) for finding the solution of the Euler-Lagrange equation which arise from problems of calculus of variations. DTM provides an analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series with easily computable components. S...
[ 3 ] - Numerical Study on the Reaction Cum Diffusion Process in a Spherical Biocatalyst
In chemical engineering, several processes are represented by singular boundary value problems. In general, classical numerical methods fail to produce good approximations for the singular boundary value problems. In this paper, Chebyshev finite difference (ChFD) method and DTM-Pad´e method, which is a combination of differential transform method (DTM) and Pad´e approximant, are applied for sol...
[ 4 ] - 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...
[ 5 ] - Chebyshev finite difference method for solving a mathematical model arising in wastewater treatment plants
The Chebyshev finite difference method is applied to solve a system of two coupled nonlinear Lane-Emden differential equations arising in mathematical modelling of the excess sludge production from wastewater treatment plants. This method is based on a combination of the useful properties of Chebyshev polynomials approximation and finite difference method. The approach consists of reducing the ...
[ 6 ] - Numerical Calculation of Fractional Derivatives for the Sinc Functions via Legendre Polynomials
This paper provides the fractional derivatives of the Caputo type for the sinc functions. It allows to use efficient numerical method for solving fractional differential equations. At first, some properties of the sinc functions and Legendre polynomials required for our subsequent development are given. Then we use the Legendre polynomials to approximate the fractional deri...
