We present greedy unsymmetric collocation schemes for solving linear elliptic partial differential equations using radial basis functions. The proposed approach circumvents the ill-conditioning problem associated with the standard collocation technique and enables the efficient solution of problems requiring a large set of collocation points. Numerical studies indicate that the accuracy of gree...

In this paper, collocation methods are used for detecting blow-up solutions of nonlinear homogeneous Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations. To do this, we introduce the concept of “blow-up collocation solution” and analyze numerically some blow-up time estimates using collocation methods in particular examples where previous results about existence and uniqueness can be applied. Finally, we d...

Abstract. A local convergence rate is established for an orthogonal collocation method based on Radau quadrature applied to an unconstrained optimal control problem. If the continuous problem has a sufficiently smooth solution and the Hamiltonian satisfies a strong convexity condition, then the discrete problem possesses a local minimizer in a neighborhood of the continuous solution, and as the...

We analyze collocation methods for nonlinear homogeneous Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearity. We present different kinds of existence and uniqueness of nontrivial collocation solutions and we give conditions for such existence and uniqueness in some cases. Finally we illustrate these methods with an example of a collocation problem, and we give some examples ...

‎the main purpose of this paper is to study the numerical solution of nonlinear volterra integral equations with constant delays, based on the multistep collocation method. these methods for approximating the solution in each subinterval are obtained by fixed number of previous steps and fixed number of collocation points in current and next subintervals. also, we analyze the convergence of the...

The application of collocation methods using spline basis functions to solve differential model equations has been in use for a few decades. However, the application of spline collocation to the solution of the nonlinear, coupled, partial differential equations (in primitive variables) that define the motion of fluids has only recently received much attention. The issues that affect the effecti...

The aim of this talk is to present highly stable collocation based numerical methods for Volterra Integral Equations (VIEs). As it is well known, a collocation method is based on the idea of approximating the exact solution of a given integral equation with a suitable function belonging to a chosen finite dimensional space, usually a piecewise algebraic polynomial, which satisfies the integral ...

This report evaluates the impact of using a novel collocation segmentation method for phrase extraction in the standard phrase-based statistical machine translation approach. The collocation segmentation technique is implemented simultaneously in the source and target side. The resulting collocation segmentation is used to extract translation units. Experiments are reported in the Spanish-toEng...
