The spline collocation method is used to approximate solutions of boundary value problems. The convergence analysis is given and the method is shown to have second-order convergence. A numerical illustration is given to show the pertinent features of the technique.  

In this work, we present a computational method for solving second kindnonlinear Fredholm Volterra integral equations which is based on the use ofHaar wavelets. These functions together with the collocation method are thenutilized to reduce the Fredholm Volterra integral equations to the solution ofalgebraic equations. Finally, we also give some numerical examples that showsvalidity and applica...

In this paper, a technique generally known as meshless numerical scheme for solving fractional dierential equations isconsidered. We approximate the exact solution by use of Radial Basis Function(RBF) collocation method. This techniqueplays an important role to reduce a fractional dierential equation to a system of equations. The numerical results demonstrate the accuracy and ability of this me...

In this paper, a variation of Murakami’s Zig-Zag theory is proposed for the analysis of functionally graded plates. The new theory includes a hyperbolic sine term for the in-plane displacements expansion and accounts for through-the-thickness deformation, by considering a quadratic evolution of the transverse displacement with the thickness coordinate. The governing equations and the boundary c...

In this paper, we explore the applicability of the SincCollocation method to a three-dimensional (3D) oceanography model. The model describes a wind-driven current with depth-dependent eddy viscosity in the complex-velocity system. In general, the Sinc-based methods excel over other traditional numerical methods due to their exponentially decaying errors, rapid convergence and handling problems...

In this paper, we develop a framework to obtain approximate numerical solutions to ordi‌nary differential equations (ODEs) involving fractional order derivatives using Legendre wavelets approximations. The continues Legendre wavelets constructed on [0, 1] are uti‌lized as a basis in collocation method. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the techn...

MULTI-FIDELITY STOCHASTIC COLLOCATION Maziar Raissi, PhD George Mason University, 2013 Dissertation Director: Dr. Padmanabhan Seshaiyer Over the last few years there have been dramatic advances in our understanding of mathematical and computational models of complex systems in the presence of uncertainty. This has led to a growth in the area of uncertainty quantification as well as the need to ...
