Tensor products of Gauss-Lobatto quadrature points are frequently used as collocation points in spectral element methods. Unfortunately, it is not known if Gauss-Lobatto points exist in non-tensor-product domains like the simplex. In this work, we show that the n-dimensional tensor-product of Gauss-Lobatto quadrature points are also Fekete points. This suggests a way to generalize spectral meth...

In this paper, a collocation method for solving high-order linear partial differential equations (PDEs) with variable coefficients under more general form of conditions is presented. This method is based on the approximation of the truncated double exponential second kind Chebyshev (ESC) series. The definition of the partial derivative is presented and derived as new operational matrices of der...

The numerical solutions to the nonlinear integral equations of Hammerstein-type y(t) =f(t) + 11 k(t,s)g(s,y(s))ds, t E [0,1] with using Daubechies wavelets are investigated. A general kernel scheme basing on Daubechies wavelets combined with a collocation method is presented. The approach of creating Daubechies interval wavelets and their main properties are briefly mentioned. Also we present a...

However, in attempting to find a suitable polynomial approximation to a general function fix), the integral occurring in equation (1.3) cannot be evaluated explicitly, and recourse has to be made to approximate methods for evaluating a„ . The most widely used method is the "curve-fitting" method described by Lanczos [1], and, in greater detail, by Clenshaw and Curtis [2]. There are two variatio...

This research considers a symmetric hybrid continuous linear multistep method for the solution of general third order ordinary differential equations. The method is generated by interpolation and collocation approach using a combination of power series and exponential function as basis function. The approximate basis function is interpolated at both grid and off-grid points but the collocation ...

The paper presents a method to recover exponential accuracy at all points (including at the discontinuities themselves), from the knowledge of an approximation to the interpolation polynomial (or trigonometrical polynomial). We show that if we are given the collocation point values (or' an highly accurate approximation) at the Gauss or Gauss-Lobatto points, we can reconstruct an uniform exponen...

In this paper, we have proposed a Haar wavelet quasilinearization method to solve the well known Blasius equation. The method is based on the uniform Haar wavelet operational matrix defined over the interval [0, 1]. In this method, we have proposed the transformation for converting the problem on a fixed computational domain. The Blasius equation arises in the various boundary layer problems of...

The polynomial chaos method has been widely adopted as a computationally feasible approach for uncertainty quantification. Most studies to date have focused on non-stiff systems. When stiff systems are considered, implicit numerical integration requires the solution of a nonlinear system of equations at every time step. Using the Galerkin approach, the size of the system state increases from n ...

When using Laguerre and Hermite spectral methods to numerically solve PDEs in unbounded domains, the number of collocation points assigned inside region interest is often insufficient, parti...
