Stable and spectrally accurate numerical methods are constructed on arbitrary grids for partial di erential equations. These new methods are equivalent to conventional spectral methods but do not rely on speci c grid distributions. Speci cally, we show how to implement Legendre Galerkin, Legendre collocation, and Laguerre Galerkin methodology on arbitrary grids. Research supported by AFOSR gran...

This paper is devoted to the spectral theory (more precisely, tothe variational theory of the spectrum) of guided waves in anelastic half cylinder.  We use variational methods to investigateseveral aspects of propagating waves, including localization (seeFigure 1), existence criteria and the formulas to find them. Weapproach the problem using two complementary methods: Thevariational methods fo...

A novel adaptive spectral method has been recently developed to numerically solve partial differential equations (PDEs) in unbounded domains. To achieve accuracy and improve efficiency, the relies on dynamic adjustment of three key tunable parameters: scaling factor, a displacement basis functions, expansion order. In this paper, we perform first numerical analysis using generalized Hermite fun...
