Abstract: Penetrative convection due to purely internal heating in a horizontal ferrofluid-saturated porous layer is examined by performing linear stability analysis. Four different types of heat supply functions are considered. The Darcy model is used to incorporate the effect of the porous medium. Numerical solutions are obtained by using the Chebyshev pseudospectral method, and the results a...

We suggest a pseudospectral method for solving the three-dimensional timedependent Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation and use it to study the resonance dynamics of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate induced by a periodic variation in the atomic scattering length. When the frequency of oscillation of the scattering length is an even multiple of one of the trapping frequencies along the x, y, or z di...

In this paper, a numerical method is presented to obtain approximate solutions for the system of nonlinear delay integrodifferential equations derived from considering biological species living together. This method is essentially based on the truncated Taylor series and its matrix representations with collocation points. Also, to illustrate the pertinent features of the method examples are pre...

A study of the free vibration of Timoshenko beams and axisymmetric Mindlin plates is presented. The analysis is based on the Chebyshev pseudospectral method, which has been widely used in the solution of fluid mechanics problems. Clamped, simply supported, free and sliding boundary conditions of Timoshenko beams are treated, and numerical results are presented for different thickness-to-length ...

Real-time implementation of the control contraction metric (CCM) method for nonlinear stabilization involves computation of a shortest path (a geodesic) between pairs of states. In this paper we propose the use of a direct numerical method, namely a Chebyshev pseudospectral method, to compute a geodesic. We investigate the influence of various parameters and tolerances and provide practical rec...

In this paper, error estimates for generalized Laguerre–Gauss-type interpolations are derived in nonuniformly weighted Sobolev spaces weighted with ωα,β(x) = x αe−βx, α > −1, β > 0. Generalized Laguerre pseudospectral methods are analyzed and implemented. Two model problems are considered. The proposed schemes keep spectral accuracy and, with suitable choice of basis functions, lead to sparse a...

We discuss a numerical scheme to solve the continuum Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in generic spatial dimensions. It is based on a momentum-space discretization of the continuum equation and on a pseudospectral approximation of the nonlinear term. The method is tested in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions, where it is shown to reproduce the current most reliable estimates of the critical exponents based...

While the Chebyshev pseudospectral method provides a spectrally accurate method, integration of partial differential equations with spatial derivatives of order M requires time steps of approximately O(N−2M ) for stable explicit solvers. Theoretically, time steps may be increased to O(N−M ) with the use of a parameter, α-dependent mapped method introduced by Kosloff and Tal-Ezer [J. Comput. Phy...

The paper addresses quaternion-based energy and time optimal spacecraft reorientation in the presence of complex attitude constrained zones. Designing an optimal reorientation trajectory for a rigid body spacecraft is posed as a nonlinear optimal control problem. In this direction, attitude constrained zones are defined with respect to the onboard instrument under two categories, forbidden and ...

G. Linde, M. Åberg. 2004: Pricing European Call Options Using a Pseudospectral Method. Written in English. Uppsala, Sweden. The aim of the project is to price European call options with a pseudospectral method (PS). An option is a financial asset that can be resembled to a lottery coupon. In a predefined time in the future the option is either worthless or worth more than it was bought for. Bla...
