This paper gives an ecient numerical method for solving the nonlinear systemof Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. A Legendre-spectral method based onthe Legendre integration Gauss points and Lagrange interpolation is proposedto convert the nonlinear integral equations to a nonlinear system of equationswhere the solution leads to the values of unknown functions at collocationpoints.

A convergence theory is presented for approximations of continuous-time optimal control problems based on a Gauss pseudospectral discretization. Under assumptions of coercivity and smoothness, the Gauss pseudospectral method has a local minimizer that converges exponentially fast in the sup-norm to a local minimizer of the continuous-time optimal control problem. The convergence theorem is pres...

The higher order wave equation of KdV type, which describes many important physical phenomena, has been investigated widely in last several decades. In this work, multisymplectic formulations for the higher order wave equation of KdV type are presented, and the local conservation laws are shown to correspond to certain well-known Hamiltonian functionals. The multi-symplectic discretization of e...

A Legendre wavelet method is presented for numerical solutions of stochastic Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. The main characteristic of the proposed method is that it reduces stochastic Volterra-Fredholm integral equations into a linear system of equations. Convergence and error analysis of the Legendre wavelets basis are investigated. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method wa...

We study existence and rigidity (W1-isolatedness) of nonregular abnormal extremals of completely nonholonomic 2-distribution (nonregularity means that such extremals do not satisfy the strong generalized Legendre-Clebsch condition). Introducing the notion of diagonal form of the second variation, we generalize some results of A. Agrachev and A. Sarychev about rigidity of regular abnormal extrem...

We use the first-order shear deformation theory and a meshless method based on radial basis functions in a pseudospectral framework for predicting the free vibration behavior of thick orthotropic, monoclinic and hexagonal plates. The shape parameter is obtained by an optimization procedure. The three translational and two rotational degrees of freedom of a point of the laminate are independentl...

In this paper, we propose an iterative spectral method for solving differential equations with initial values on large intervals. In the proposed method, we first extend the Legendre wavelet suitable for large intervals, and then the Legendre-Guass collocation points of the Legendre wavelet are derived. Using this strategy, the iterative spectral method converts the differential equation to a s...

A coupled method of Laplace transform and Legendre wavelets is presented to obtain exact solutions of Lane-Emden-type equations. By employing properties of Laplace transform, a new operator is first introduced and then its Legendre wavelets operational matrix is derived to convert the Lane-Emden equations into a system of algebraic equations. Block pulse functions are used to calculate the Lege...
