In this paper, we investigate the performance of pseudo-spectral methods in computing nearly singular solutions of fluid dynamics equations. We consider two different ways of removing the aliasing errors in a pseudo-spectral method. The first one is the traditional 2/3 dealiasing rule. The second one is a high (36th) order Fourier smoothing which keeps a significant portion of the Fourier modes...

By means of a highly accurate, multi-domain, pseudo-spectral method, we investigate the solution space of uniformly rotating, homogeneous and axisymmetric relativistic fluid bodies. It turns out that this space can be divided up into classes of solutions. In this paper, we present two new classes including relativistic core-ring and tworing solutions. Combining our knowledge of the first four c...

Local polynomial smoother (LPS) is a weighted local least-squares nonparametric method. It provides a local Taylor series fit of the data at any location and can be directly used in a differential equation to provide a numerical scheme. In this article, we introduce this new nonparametric idea based on local polynomial smoother, for acquiring the numerical solution of the Bagley-Torvik fraction...

In this study, the numerical solution for the Modified Equal Width Wave (MEW) equation is presented using Fourier spectral method that use to discretize the space variable and Leap-frog method scheme for time dependence. Test problems including the single soliton wave motion, interaction of two solitary waves and interaction of three solitary waves will use to validate the proposed method. The ...

The time-dependent Schrödinger equation is discretized in space by a sparse grid pseudo-spectral method. The Strang splitting for the resulting evolutionary problem features first or second order convergence in time, depending on the smoothness of the potential and of the initial data. In contrast to the full grid case, where the frequency domain is the working place, the proof of the sufficien...

In this paper, we construct numerical schemes for spectral collocation methods and spectral variational integrators which converge geometrically. We present a systematic comparison of how spectral collocation methods and Galerkin spectral variational integrators perform in terms of their ability to reproduce accurate trajectories in configuration and phase space, their ability to conserve momen...
