Here we propose a new method based on projections for the approximate solution of eigenvalue problems. For an integral operator with a smooth kernel, using an interpolatory projection at Gauss points onto the space of (discontinuous) piecewise polynomials of degree ≤ r−1, we show that the proposed method exhibits an error of the order of 4r for eigenvalue approximation and of the order of 3r fo...

This paper establishes a direct method for solving variational problems via a set of Radial basis functions (RBFs) with Gauss-Chebyshev collocation centers. The method consist of reducing a variational problem into a mathematical programming problem. The authors use some optimization techniques to solve the reduced problem. Accuracy and stability of the multiquadric, Gaussian and inverse multiq...

When numerically integrating canonical Hamiltonian systems, the long-term conservation of some of its invariants, for example the Hamiltonian function itself, assumes a central role. The classical approach to this problem has led to the definition of symplectic methods, among which we mention Gauss–Legendre collocation formulae. Indeed, in the continuous setting, energy conservation is derived ...

The paper presents an uncertainty propagation method for problems with discontinuous surface responses. Based on Pade-Legendre (PL) approximants in multiple dimensions, the proposed method is global and non-intrusive. In this work, the PL method is applied to a model problem of supersonic flows with multiple possible flow configurations, depending on the uncertain input parameters. The results ...

In this paper, we present a numerical method for solving Hallen’s integral equation based on radial basis functions (RBFs). This method will represent the solution of Hallen’s integral equation by interpolating the radial basis functions based on Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto(LGL) nodes and weights. The numerical results show that the proposed method for Hallen’s integral equation is very accurate and...

In this manuscript a new method is introduced for solving fractional differential equations. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The main idea is to use fractional-order Legendre wavelets and operational matrix of fractional-order integration. First the fractional-order Legendre wavelets (FLWs) are presented. Then a family of piecewise functions is proposed, based on whi...

Abstract. It was shown by P. J. Davis that the Newton-Cotes quadrature formula is convergent if the integrand is an analytic function that is regular in a sufficiently large region of the complex plane containing the interval of integration. In the present paper, a bound on the error of the Newton-Cotes quadrature formula for analytic functions is derived. Also the bounds on the Legendre polyno...

In this paper, we propose a Modified nested sparse grid based Adaptive Stochastic Collocation Method (MASCM) for block-based Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA). The proposed MASCM employs an improved adaptive strategy derived from the existing Adaptive Stochastic Collocation Method (ASCM) to approximate the key operator MAX during timing analysis. In contrast to ASCM which uses non-neste...
