Numerical solutions of the generalized Burgers-Fisher equation are presented based on a polynomial-based differential quadrature method with minimal computational effort. To achieve this, a combination of a polynomial-based differential quadrature method in space and a third-order strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta scheme in time have been used. The proposed technique successfully worked t...

The mathematical modeling of the large deflections for the cantilever beams leads to a nonlinear differential equation with the mixed boundary conditions. Different numerical methods have been implemented by various authors for such problems. In this paper, two novel numerical techniques are investigated for the numerical simulation of the problem. The first is based on a spectral method utiliz...

Thermo-elastic analysis of a functionally graded hollow sphere is carried out and numerical solutions of displacement, stress and thermal fields are obtained using the Polynomial differential quadrature (PDQ) method. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the radial direction according to a power law function, ho...

Generalized Fitzhugh– Nagumo equation; Polynomial differential quadrature method; Numerical solutions; Runge–Kutta method Abstract In this paper, polynomial differential quadrature method (PDQM) is applied to find the numerical solution of the generalized Fitzhugh–Nagumo equation with time-dependent coefficients in one dimensional space. The PDQM reduces the problem into a system of first order...

The RK5GL3 method is a numerical method for solving initial value problems in ordinary differential equations, and is based on a combination of a fifth-order Runge-Kutta method and 3-point Gauss-Legendre quadrature. In this paper we describe an effective local error control algorithm for RK5GL3, which uses local extrapolation with an eighth-order Runge-Kutta method in tandem with RK5GL3, and a ...

In this paper, a relatively new method, namely variational iteration method (VIM), is developed for free vibration analysis of a Timoshenko beam with different boundary conditions. In the VIM, an appropriate Lagrange multiplier is first chosen according to order of the governing differential equation of the boundary value problem, and then an iteration process is used till the desired accuracy ...

Differential quadrature method DQM is proposed for the numerical solution of oneand twospace dimensional hyperbolic telegraph equation subject to appropriate initial and boundary conditions. Both polynomial-based differential quadrature PDQ and Fourier-based differential quadrature FDQ are used in space directions while PDQ is made use of in time direction. Numerical solution is obtained by usi...

Numerical solutions of the generalized Burgers-Huxley equation are obtained using a polynomial differential quadrature method with minimal computational effort.
