چکیده

This paper is intended as a contribution to enhance orthogonal collocation methods. In this, a novel collocation method—TH-collocation—is applied to the biharmonic equation and themerits of such procedure are exhibited. TH-collocation relaxes the continuity requirements and, for the 2D problems here treated, leads to the development of algorithms for which the matrices are sparse (nine-diagonal), symmetric and positive definite. Due to these properties, the conjugate gradientmethod can be directly, andmore effectively, applied to them. These features contrast with those of the standard orthogonal spline collocation on cubicHermites, which yieldsmatrices that are non-symmetric and non-positive. This paper is part of a line of research in which a general and unified theory of domain decomposition methods, proposed by Herrera, is being explored. Two kinds of contributions can be distinguished in this; some that are relevant for the parallel computation of continuousmodels and newdiscretization procedures for partial differential equations. The present paper belongs to this latter kind of contributions. q 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A spectral collocation method based on integrated Chebyshev polynomials for two-dimensional biharmonic boundary-value problems

This paper reports a new spectral collocation method for numerically solving two-dimensional biharmonic boundary-value problems. The construction of the Chebyshev approximations is based on integration rather than conventional differentiation. This use of integration allows: (i) the imposition of the governing equation at the whole set of grid points including the boundary points and (ii) the s...

A spectral collocation method based on Haar wavelets for Poisson equations and biharmonic equations

In this work, we present a computational method for solving Poisson equations and biharmonic equations which are based on the use of Haar wavelets. The first transform the spectral coefficients into the nodal variable values. The second use Kronecker products to construct the approximations for derivatives over a tensor product grid of the horizontal and vertical blocks. Finally, solve the obta...

Convergence Analysis of a Quadrature Finite Element Galerkin Scheme for a Biharmonic Problem

A quadrature finite element Galerkin scheme for a Dirichlet boundary value problem for the biharmonic equation is analyzed for a solution existence, uniqueness, and convergence. Conforming finite element space of Bogner-Fox-Schmit rectangles and an integration rule based on the two-point Gaussian quadrature are used to formulate the discrete problem. An H2-norm error estimate is obtained for th...
