We propose and analyze the spectral collocation approximation for the partial integrodifferential equations with a weakly singular kernel. The space discretization is based on the pseudo-spectral method, which is a collocation method at the Gauss-Lobatto quadrature points. We prove unconditional stability and obtain the optimal error bounds which depend on the time step, the degree of polynomia...

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...

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...

The Fourier pseudo-spectral method has been studied for a onedimensional coupled system of viscous Burgers equations. Two test problems with known exact solutions have been selected for this study. In this paper, the rate of convergence in time and error analysis of the solution of the first problem has been studied, while the numerical results of the second problem obtained by the present meth...

A reduction method is presented for systems of conservation laws with boundary energy flow. It is stated as a generalized pseudo-spectral method which performs exact differentiation by using simultaneously several approximation spaces generated by polynomials bases and suitable choices of port-variables. The symplecticity of this spatial reduction method is proved when used for the reduction of...

Spectral methods for the solution of a boundary value problem an ordinary differential equation are reviewed with particular emphasis laid on pseudo-spectral collocation method. The pseudo-collocation method is then used to solve one dimensional bio-heat metabolic heat generation in cylindrical coordinates applied human tissue. It was noticed that increase transfer coefficient (hA), enhanced te...

This work focuses on the extension of the recently introduced Spectral Difference Method to viscous flow. The spectral difference method is a conservative pseudo-spectral scheme based on a local collocation on unstructured elements. Recently results for scalar transport equations and the Euler equations have been presented. For the extension to viscous flow several techniques are investigated, ...

The recognition and the calculation of all branches of solutions of the nonlinear boundary value problems is difficult obviously. The complexity of this issue goes back to the being nonlinearity of the problem. Regarding this matter, this paper considers steady state reactive transport model which does not have exact closed-form solution and discovers existence of dual or triple solutions in so...

In this paper, we develop, analyze and test the Fourier spectral methods for solving the Degasperis–Procesi (DP) equation which contains nonlinear high order derivatives, and possibly discontinuous or sharp transition solutions. The L2 stability is obtained for general numerical solutions of the Fourier Galerkin method and Fourier collocation (pseudospectral) method. By applying the Gegenbauer ...

In this paper, we propose to replace the Chebyshev series used in pseudospectral methods with the equivalent Chebyshev economized power series that can be evaluated more rapidly. We keep the rest of the implementation the same as the spectral method so that there is no new mathematical principle involved. We show by numerical examples that the new approach works well and there is indeed no sign...
