Using spectral method as an approximation for solving hyperbolic PDEs

چکیده
We demonstrate an application of the spectral method as a numerical approximation for solving Hyperbolic PDEs. In this method a finite basis is used for approximating the solutions. In particular, we demonstrate a set of such solutions for cases which would be otherwise almost impossible to solve by the more routine methods such as the Finite Difference Method. Eigenvalue problems are included in the class of PDEs that are solvable by this method. Although any complete orthonormal basis can be used, we discuss two particularly interesting bases: the Fourier basis and the quantum oscillator eigenfunction basis. We compare and discuss the relative advantages of each of these two bases. PACS: 02.60.-x, 02.60.Lj

Spectral Methods Based on Prolate Spheroidal Wave Functions for Hyperbolic PDEs
We examine the merits of using prolate spheroidal wave functions (PSWFs) as basis functions when solving hyperbolic PDEs using pseudospectral methods. The relevant approximation theory is reviewed and some new approximation results in Sobolev spaces are established. An optimal choice of the band-limit parameter for PSWFs is derived for single-mode functions. Our conclusion is that one might gai...
متن کاملSolving high-order partial differential equations in unbounded domains by means of double exponential second kind Chebyshev approximation
In this paper, a collocation method for solving high-order linear partial differential equations (PDEs) with variable coefficients under more general form of conditions is presented. This method is based on the approximation of the truncated double exponential second kind Chebyshev (ESC) series. The definition of the partial derivative is presented and derived as new operational matrices of der...
متن کاملHermite Spectral Method with Hyperbolic Cross Approximations to High-Dimensional Parabolic PDEs
It is well-known that sparse grid algorithm has been widely accepted as an efficient tool to overcome the “curse of dimensionality” in some degree. In this note, we first give the error estimate of hyperbolic cross (HC) approximations with generalized Hermite functions. The exponential convergence in both regular and optimized hyperbolic cross approximations has been shown. Moreover, the error ...
متن کاملAnalysis and Computation of Hyperbolic PDEs with Random Data
Hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) are mathematical models of wave phenomena, with applications in a wide range of scientific and engineering fields such as electromagnetic radiation, geosciences, fluid and solid mechanics, aeroacoustics, and general relativity. The theory of hyperbolic problems, including Friedrichs and Kreiss theories, has been well developed based on energy est...
متن کاملComposite generalized Laguerre-Legendre spectral method with domain decomposition and its application to Fokker-Planck equation in an infinite channel
In this paper, we propose a composite generalized LaguerreLegendre spectral method for partial differential equations on two-dimensional unbounded domains, which are not of standard types. Some approximation results are established, which are the mixed generalized Laguerre-Legendre approximations coupled with domain decomposition. These results play an important role in the related spectral met...
