The nonlinear analysis of nanoelectromechanical systems using the differential quadrature model is investigated. The differential quadrature method is applied to overcome the difficulty of determining the nonlinear equation of motion. The characteristics of various combinations of curved electrodes and cantilever beams are considered to optimize the design. Various nano-actuators, such as the c...

In this paper, we will present a generalized convolution quadrature for solving linear parabolic and hyperbolic evolution equations. The original convolution quadrature method by Lubich works very nicely for equidistant time steps while the generalization of the method and its analysis to non-uniform time stepping is by no means obvious. We will introduce the generalized convolution quadrature ...

A generalized N-point Birkhoff–Young quadrature of interpolatory type, with the Chebyshev weight, for numerical integration of analytic functions is considered. The nodes of such a quadrature are characterized by an orthogonality relation. Some special cases of this quadrature formula are derived. 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Using classic differential quadrature formulae and uniform grids, this paper systematically constructs a variety of high-order finite difference schemes, and some of these schemes are consistent with the so-called boundary value methods. The derived difference schemes enjoy the same stability and accuracy properties with correspondent differential quadrature methods but have a simpler form of c...

The di culty encountered when solving singularly perturbed differential equations is that errors introduced in layers pollute the solution in smooth regions. Since a priori control of the errors in layers is di cult, special methods must be designed to reduce or eliminate polluting errors. Successful methods add dissipation to a computational scheme to enlarge layers to the mesh spacing. We foc...

Abstract In this paper, we study the numerical solutions of Fisher’s equation and to a nonlinear diffusion equation of the Fisher type by differential quadrature method. Fisher's equation combines diffusion with logistic nonlinearity. The equation occurs in logistic population growth models, neurophysiology and nuclear reactions. Therefore, numerical study of these types of equations is very im...

New integrability properties of a family sequences ordinary differential equations, which contains the Riccati and Abel chains as most simple sequences, are studied. The determination n generalized symmetries nth-order equation in each chain provides, without any kind integration, n-1 functionally independent first integrals equation. A remaining integral arises by quadrature using Jacobi last ...
