چکیده

A Maple algorithm for the computation of the zeros of orthogonal polynomials (OPs) and special functions (SFs) in a given interval [x1, x2] is presented. The program combines symbolic and numerical calculations and it is based on fixed point iterations. The program uses as inputs the analytic expressions for the coefficients of the three-term recurrence relation and a differencedifferential relation satisfied by the set of OPs or SFs. The performance of the method is illustrated with several examples: Hermite, Chebyshev, Legendre, Jacobi and Gegenbauer polynomials, Bessel, Coulomb and Conical functions. © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Using Chebyshev polynomial’s zeros as point grid for numerical solution of nonlinear PDEs by differential quadrature- based radial basis functions

Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) have been found to be widely successful for the interpolation of scattered data over the last several decades. The numerical solution of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) plays a prominent role in numerical weather forecasting, and many other areas of physics, engineering, and biology. In this paper, Differential Quadrature (DQ) method- based RBFs are...

Buckling and vibration analysis of angle -ply symmetric laminated composite plates with fully elastic boundaries

The main focus of this paper is on efficiency analysis of two kinds of approximating functions (characteristic orthogonal polynomials and characteristic beam functions) that have been applied in the Rayleigh-Ritz method to determine the non-dimensional buckling and frequency parameters of an angle ply symmetric laminated composite plate with fully elastic boundaries. It has been observed that o...

Numerical solution of delay differential equations via operational matrices of hybrid of block-pulse functions and Bernstein polynomials

In this paper, we introduce hybrid of block-pulse functions and Bernstein polynomials and derive operational matrices of integration, dual, differentiation, product and delay of these hybrid functions by a general procedure that can be used for other polynomials or orthogonal functions. Then, we utilize them to solve delay differential equations and time-delay system. The method is based upon e...
