This pa per suggests a simple valuation method based on Chebyshev approximation at Chebyshev nodes to value American put options. It is similar to the approach taken in Sullivan (2000), where the option`s continuation region function is estimated by using a Chebyshev polynomial. However, in contrast to Sullivan (2000), the functional is fitted by using Chebyshev nodes. The suggested method is f...

In this paper‎, two inverse problems of determining an unknown source term in a parabolic‎ equation are considered‎. ‎First‎, ‎the unknown source term is ‎estimated in the form of a combination of Chebyshev functions‎. ‎Then‎, ‎a numerical algorithm based on Chebyshev polynomials is presented for obtaining the solution of the problem‎. ‎For solving the problem‎, ‎the operational matrices of int...

There are many methods for solving nonlinear algebraic equations. Some of these methods are just rediscovered old ones. In this note we show that the modified super Halley scheme is the same as one of Jarratt’s methods. Published by Elsevier Inc.

In this paper, the wavelet method based on the Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind is introduced and used to solve systems of integral equations. Operational matrices of integration, product, and derivative are obtained for the second kind Chebyshev wavelets which will be used to convert the system of integral equations into a system of algebraic equations. Also, the error is analyzed and ...

A weighted orthogonal system on the half line based on the Chebyshev rational functions is introduced. Basic results on Chebyshev rational approximations of several orthogonal projections and interpolations are established. To illustrate the potential of the Chebyshev rational spectral method, a model problem is considered both theoretically and numerically: error estimates for the Chebyshev ra...

The operational matrices of fractional-order integration for the Legendre and Chebyshev wavelets are derived. Block pulse functions and collocation method are employed to derive a general procedure for forming these matrices for both the Legendre and the Chebyshev wavelets. Then numerical methods based on wavelet expansion and these operational matrices are proposed. In this proposed method, by...

We exhibit a numerical technique based on Newton’s method for finding all the roots of Legendre and Chebyshev polynomials, which execute less iterations than the standard Newton’s method and whose results can be compared with those for Chebyshev polynomials roots, for which exists a well known analytical formula. Our algorithm guarantees at least nine decimal correct ciphers in the worst case, ...
