This work concerns the development of stabilized finite element methods for the Stokes problem considering nonstable different (or equal) order of velocity and pressure interpolations. The approach is based on the enrichment of the standard polynomial space for the velocity component with multiscale functions which no longer vanish on the element boundary. On the other hand, since the test func...

In this manuscript a new method is introduced for solving fractional differential equations. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The main idea is to use fractional-order Legendre wavelets and operational matrix of fractional-order integration. First the fractional-order Legendre wavelets (FLWs) are presented. Then a family of piecewise functions is proposed, based on whi...

A family of Enright’s second derivative formulas with trigonometric basis functions is derived using multistep collocation method. The continuous schemes obtained are used to generate complementary methods. The stability properties of the methods are discussed.Themethodswhich can be applied in predictor-corrector formare implemented in block formas simultaneous numerical integrators over nonove...

Piecewise Hermite cubics have been widely used in a variety of ways for solving partial differential equations. For a number of these techniques, knowledge about the Hermite cubic collocation approximations to the spectrum of the Laplace operator is often very useful, for error analysis and, a fortiori, possible iteration parameters. To this end, we givc here explicit closed-form expressions fo...

In this paper we present a method based on using exponential basis functions (EBFs) to solve well-known two-dimensional time dependent engineering problems such as elasto-dynamic ones. The formulation has much in common with those in three dimensional problems while time is taken as the third axis. The solution is first approximated by a summation of EBFs and then completed by satisfying the ti...

Preserving in the discrete realm the underlying geometric, topological, and algebraic structures at stake in partial differential equations has proven to be a fruitful guiding principle for numerical methods in a variety of fields such as elasticity, electromagnetism, or fluid mechanics. However, structure-preserving methods have traditionally used spaces of piecewise polynomial basis functions...
