In this paper, we propose a method to approximate the solution of a linear Fredholm integro-differential equation by using the Chebyshev wavelet of the first kind as basis. For this purpose, we introduce the first Chebyshev operational matrix of integration. Chebyshev wavelet approximating method is then utilized to reduce the integro-differential equation to a system of algebraic equations. Il...

Quantum states can be described equivalently by density matrices, Wigner functions or quantum tomograms. We analyze the accuracy and performance of three related semiclassical approaches to quantum dynamics, in particular with respect to their numerical implementation. As test cases, we consider the time evolution of Gaussian wave packets in different one-dimensional geometries, whereby tunneli...

The fractional inverse M (real γ > 0) of a matrix M is expanded in a series of Gegenbauer polynomials. If the spectrum of M is confined to an ellipse not including the origin, convergence is exponential, with the same rate as for Chebyshev inversion. The approximants can be improved recursively and lead to an iterative solver for Mx = b in Krylov space. In case of γ = 1/2, the expansion is in t...

We discuss the action of the configuration operators of loop quantum gravity. In particular, we derive the generalised eigenbasis for the Wilson loop operator and show that the transformation between this basis and the spinnetwork basis is given by an expansion in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. These results are used to construct states which approximate connections on the background 3-manifol...

In this paper, a Chebyshev polynomial approximation for the solution of second-order partial differential equations with two variables and variable coefficients is given. Also, Chebyshev matrix is introduced. This method is based on taking the truncated Chebyshev expansions of the functions in the partial differential equations. Hence, the result matrix equation can be solved and approximate va...

A numerical method for solving nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integral equations of general type is presented. This method is based on replacement of unknown function by truncated series of well known Chebyshev expansion of functions. The quadrature formulas which we use to calculate integral terms have been imated by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). This is a grate advantage of this method which has...

A solution is presented to a doubly mixed boundary value problem of the torsion of an elastic layer, partially resting on a rigid circular base by a circular rigid punch attached to its surface. This problem is reduced to a system of dual integral equations using the Boussinesq stress functions and the Hankel integral transforms. With the help of the Gegenbauer expansion formula of the Bessel f...

A Chebyshev knot C(a, b, c, φ) is a knot which has a parametrization of the form x(t) = Ta(t); y(t) = Tb(t); z(t) = Tc(t + φ), where a, b, c are integers, Tn(t) is the Chebyshev polynomial of degree n and φ ∈ R. We show that any two-bridge knot is a Chebyshev knot with a = 3 and also with a = 4. For every a, b, c integers (a = 3, 4 and a, b coprime), we describe an algorithm that gives all Cheb...

We provide a definition of Multidimensional Chebyshev Systems of order N which is satisfied by the solutions of a wide class of elliptic equations of order 2N . This definition generalizes a very large class of Extended Complete Chebyshev systems in the one-dimensional case. This is the first of a series of papers in this area, which solves the longstanding problem of finding a satisfactory mul...

The mth Chebyshev polynomial of a square matrix A is the monic polynomial that minimizes the matrix 2-norm of p(A) over all monic polynomials p(z) of degree m. This polynomial is uniquely defined if m is less than the degree of the minimal polynomial of A. We study general properties of Chebyshev polynomials of matrices, which in some cases turn out to be generalizations of well known propertie...
