We present a numerical method for a class of boundary value problems on the unit interval which feature a type of exponential and product nonlinearities. Also, we consider singular case. We construct a kind of spectral collocation method based on shifted Jacobi polynomials to implement this method. A number of specific numerical examples demonstrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the propos...

Gibbs phenomenon is the particular manner how a global spectral approximation of a piecewise analytic function behaves at the jump discontinuity. The truncated spectral series has large oscillations near the jump, and the overshoot does not decay as the number of terms in the truncated series increases. There is therefore no convergence in the maximum norm, and convergence in smooth regions awa...

In this paper, a spectral collocation approach based on the rational Chebyshev functions for solving the axisymmetric stagnation point flow on an infinite stationary circular cylinder is suggested. The Navier-Stokes equations which govern the flow, are changed to a boundary value problem with a semi-infinite domain and a third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation by applying proper si...

in this paper, we develop a numerical resolution of the space-time fractional advection-dispersion equation. we utilize spectral-collocation method combining with a product integration technique in order to discretize the terms involving spatial fractional order derivatives that leads to a simple evaluation of the related terms. by using bernstein polynomial basis, the problem is transformed in...

In this paper, we apply the Legendre spectral-collocation method to obtain approximate solutions of nonlinear multiorder fractional differential equations (M-FDEs). The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The study is conducted through illustrative example to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the presented method. The results reveal that the proposed method is ve...

In this paper, we propose a natural collocation method with exact imposition of mixed boundary conditions based on a generalized Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre-Birhoff quadrature rule that builds in the underlying boundary data. We provide a direct construction of the quadrature rule, and show that the collocation method can be implemented as efficiently as the usual collocation scheme for PDEs with Di...

A numerical approximation of the initial-boundary system of nonlinear hyperbolic equations based on spectral collocation method is presented in this article. A Chebyshev-Gauss-Radau collocation (C-GR-C) method in combination with the implicit RungeKutta scheme are employed to obtain highly accurate approximations to the mentioned problem. The collocation points are the Chebyshev interpolation n...

In this paper, we consider the Legendre spectral Galerkin and Legendre spectral collocation methods to approximate the solution of Urysohn integral equation. We prove that the approximated solutions of the Legendre Galerkin and Legendre collocation methods converge to the exact solution with the same orders, O(n−r) in L2-norm and O(n 1 2 −r) in infinity norm, and the iterated Legendre Galerkin ...

We develop spectral collocation methods for fractional differential equations with variable order with two end-point singularities. Specifically, we derive three-term recurrence relations for both integrals and derivatives of the weighted Jacobi polynomials of the form 1 x μ1 1 Æ x 2P a,b j x a, b, μ1, μ2 Æ1 , which leads to the desired differentiation matrices. We apply the new differentiation...
