Techniques in the family of weighted residual methods; the orthogonal collocation, Galerkin, tau, and least-squares methods, are adopted to solve a non-linear and highly coupled pellet problem. Based on a residual measure and problem matrix condition numbers, the Galerkin and tau methods are favorable solution techniques for the pellet equations. On the other hand, the orthogonal collocation is...

This paper presents a computational technique that called Tau-collocation method for the developed solution of non-linear integro-differential equations which involves a population model. To do this, the nonlinear integro-differential equations are transformed into a system of linear algebraic equations in matrix form without interpolation of non-poly-nomial terms of equations. Then, using coll...

respect to Jacobi polynomials. Using this approach is efficient and effective rather than Tau and collocation methods. It reduces the nonlinear ordinary differential equations to the nonlinear programming problems which is an easy problem to solve. Hence, easy implementation of the method is the importance of our approach and some numerical test experiments show the accuracy and efficiency of t...

‎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...

For the known spectral methods (Galerkin, Tau, Collocation) the condition number behaves like 0(N4) (N: maximal degree of polynomials). We introduce a spectral method with an 0(N2) condition number. The advantages with respect to propagation of rounding errors and preconditioning are demonstrated. A direct solver for constant coefficient problems is given. Extensions to variable coefficient pro...

In this article, a shifted Legendre tau method is introduced to get a direct solution technique for solving multi-order fractional differential equations (FDEs) with constant coefficients subject to multi-point boundary conditions. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. Also, this article reports a systematic quadrature tau method for numerically solving multi-point boundar...
