An accurate and efficient solution method using spectral collocation method with domain decomposition is proposed for computing optical waveguides with discontinuous refractive index profiles. The use of domain decomposition divides the usual single domain into a few subdomains at the interfaces of discontinuous refractive index profiles. Each subdomain can be expanded by a suitable set of orth...

For variation-aware capacitance extraction, stochastic collocation method (SCM) based on Homogeneous Chaos expansion has the exponential convergence rate for Gaussian geometric variations, and is considered as the optimal solution using a quadratic model to model the parasitic capacitances. However, when geometric variations are measured from the real test chip, they are not necessarily Gaussia...

The electromagnetic field distribution as well as the resonating frequency of various modes in superconducting cavities are sensitive to small geometry deformations. The occurring variations are motivated by measurements of an available set of resonators from which we propose to extract a small number of relevant and independent deformations by using a truncated Karhunen–Loève expansion. The ra...

The application of collocation methods using spline basis functions to solve differential model equations has been in use for a few decades. However, the application of spline collocation to the solution of the nonlinear, coupled, partial differential equations (in primitive variables) that define the motion of fluids has only recently received much attention. The issues that affect the effecti...

In this paper, we derive error estimates for generalized interpolation, in particular collocation, in Sobolev spaces. We employ our estimates to collocation problems using radial basis functions and extend and improve previously known results for elliptic problems. Finally, we use meshless collocation to approximate Lyapunov functions for dynamical systems.

In this paper we give a complete analysis of the global convergence and local superconvergence properties of piecewise polynomial collocation for Volterra integral equations with constant delay. This analysis includes continuous collocation-based Volterra-Runge-Kutta methods as well as iterated collocation methods and their discretizations.

in this paper, we will present a review of the multistep collocation method for delay volterra integral equations (dvies) from [1] and then, we study the superconvergence analysis of the multistep collocation method for dvies. some numerical examples are given to confirm our theoretical results.

In this work we present numerical methods for the solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second type for smooth and piecewise smooth surfaces We use a collocation method based on piecewise polynomial interpolation of the solution We consider only collocation methods for which the collocation nodes are interior to each triangular face In Chapter II we give the general framework for collo...
