Simplest results presented here are the stability criteria of collocation methods for the second-order Volterra integrodifferential equation (VIDE) by polynomial spline functions. The polynomial spline collocation method is stable if all eigenvalues of a matrix are in the unit disk and all eigenvalues with |λ| = 1 belong to a 1× 1 Jordan block. Also many other conditions are derived depending u...

in this paper, a new spectral-iterative method is employed to give approximate solutions of fractional logistic differential equation. this approach is based on combination of two different methods, i.e. the iterative method cite{35} and the spectral method. the method reduces the differential equation to systems of linear algebraic equations and then the resulting systems are solved by a numer...

. In this paper, we develop a quadratic spline collocation method for integrating the nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) of a plug flow reactor model. The method is proposed in order to be used for the operation of control design and/or numerical simulations. We first present the Crank-Nicolson method to temporally discretize the state variable. Then, we develop and analyze the pro...

In this paper, a Chebyshev spectral collocation domain decomposition (DD) semidiscretization by using a grid mapping, derived by Kosloff and Tal-Ezer in space is applied to the numerical solution of the generalized Burger’s–Huxley (GBH) equation. To reduce roundoff error in computing derivatives we use the above mentioned grid mapping. In this work, we compose the Chebyshev spectral collocation...

We propose a discrete collocation method for the boundary integral equations which arise from solving Laplace's equation u = 0. The Laplace's equation is deened on connected regions D in R 3 with a smooth boundary S. The piecewise polynomial interpolation in the parametrization variables along with the collocation method is used, and a numerical integration scheme for collocation integrals is g...

in this paper we use radial basis functions to solve multivariable integral equations. we use collocation method for implementation. numerical experiments show the accuracy of the method.

An effective numerical method based on Legendre polynomials is proposed for the solution of a class of variational problems with suitable boundary conditions. The Ritz spectral method is used for finding the approximate solution of the problem. By utilizing the Ritz method, the given nonlinear variational problem reduces to the problem of solving a system of algebraic equations. The advantage o...

By the semi-inverse method, a variational principle is obtained for the Lane–Emden equation, which gives much numerical convenience when applying finite element methods or Ritz method. 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.

In this Letter, a (2 + 1)-dimensional soliton equation is studied by He’s variational approach. The solitary solutions are obtained using the Ritz method.

The Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) “mixed collocation” method is applied to the problem of topology-optimization of elastic structures. In this paper, the topic of compliance minimization of elastic structures is pursued, and nodal design variables which represent nodal volume fractions at discretized nodes are adopted. A so-called nodal sensitivity filter is employed, to prevent the phe...
