The problem of the boundary layer flow of an incompressible viscous fluid over a non-linear stretching sheet is considered. A spectral collocation method is performed in order to find an analytical solution of the governing nonlinear differential equations. The obtained results are finally compared through the illustrative graphs and tables with the exact solution and some well-known results ob...

The operational matrices of fractional-order integration for the Legendre and Chebyshev wavelets are derived. Block pulse functions and collocation method are employed to derive a general procedure for forming these matrices for both the Legendre and the Chebyshev wavelets. Then numerical methods based on wavelet expansion and these operational matrices are proposed. In this proposed method, by...

The Lane-Emden equation has been used to model several phenomenas in theoretical physics, mathematical physics and astrophysics such as the theory of stellar structure. This study is an attempt to utilize the collocation method with the Rational Chebyshev of Second Kind function (RSC) to solve the Lane-Emden equation over the semi-infinit interval [0,+∞). According to well-known results and com...

In this paper, a Chebyshev–Legendre spectral viscosity (CLSV) method is developed for nonlinear conservation laws with initial and boundary conditions. The boundary conditions are dealt with by a penalty method. The viscosity is put only on the high modes, so accuracy may be recovered by postprocessing the CLSV approximation. It is proved that the bounded solution of the CLSV method converges t...

Pseudospectral methods are investigated for singularly perturbed boundary value problems for ordinary diierential equations which possess boundary layers. It is well known that if the boundary layer is very small then a very large number of spectral collocation points is required to obtain accurate solutions. We introduce here a new eeective procedure, based on coordinate stretching and the Che...

We are concerned with linear and nonlinear multi-term fractional differential equations (FDEs). The shifted Chebyshev operationalmatrix (COM) of fractional derivatives is derived and used together with spectral methods for solving FDEs. Our approach was based on the shifted Chebyshev tau and collocation methods. The proposed algorithms are applied to solve two types of FDEs, linear and nonlinea...

A new class of time-integrators is presented for strongly nonlinear dynamical systems. These algorithms are far superior to the currently common time integrators in computational efficiency and accuracy. These three algorithms are based on a local variational iteration method applied over a finite interval of time. By using Chebyshev polynomials as trial functions andDirac–Delta functions as th...

A new kind of numerical method based on rational spectral collocation with the sinh transformation is presented for solving parameterized singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems with one boundary layer. By means of the sinh transformation, the original Chebyshev points are mapped onto the transformed ones clustered near the singular points of the problem. The results from asympto...
