It is shown that as m tends to infinity, the error in the integration of the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind, T{im+2)j±2^x), by an /n-point Gauss integration rule approaches (-!> • 2/(4/2 1), / = 0, 1, ■ • • , m 1, and (-!>' • tt/2, / = m, for all J. 1. Knowledge of the errors in the numerical integration of Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind, Tn(x), by given integration rules has p...

Based on Lagrange and Hermite interpolation two novel versions of weak form quadrature element are proposed for a non-classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. By extending these concept two new plate elements are formulated using Lagrange-Lagrange and mixed Lagrange-Hermite interpolations for a non-classical Kirchhoff plate theory. The non-classical theories are governed by sixth order partial di...

This paper develops a family of preconditioners for pseudospectral approximations of pth-order linear differential operators subject to various types of boundary conditions. The approximations are based on ultraspherical polynomials with special attention being paid to Legendre and Chebyshev polynomial methods based on Gauss–Lobatto quadrature points. The eigenvalue spectrum of the precondition...

In this work we discuss two different but related aspects of the development of efficient discontinuous Galerkin methods on hybrid element grids for the computational modeling of gas dynamics in complex geometries or with adapted grids. In the first part, a recursive construction of different nodal sets for hp finite elements is presented. The different nodal elements are evaluated by computing...

In this study, we consider ill-posed time-domain inverse problems for dynamical systems with various boundary conditions and unknown controllers. Dynamical systems characterized by a system of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are recast into a system of nonlinear first order ODEs in mixed variables. Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) are assumed as trial functions for th...

We present a general family of subcell limiting strategies to construct robust high-order accurate nodal discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes. The main strategy is compatible low order finite volume (FV) type discretizations that allow for convex blending with the variant goal guaranteeing additional properties, such as bounds on physical quantities and/or guaranteed entropy dissipation. For an ...

Recently Laurie presented a fast algorithm for the computation of (2n + 1)-point Gauss-Kronrod quadrature rules with real nodes and positive weights. We describe modifications of this algorithm that allow the computation of Gauss-Kronrod quadrature rules with complex conjugate nodes and weights or with real nodes and positive and negative weights.

Abstract In this paper we discuss the use of implicit Runge–Kutta schemes for time discretization optimal control problems with evolution equations. The specialty considered discretizations is that state and adjoint are chosen such optimization commute. It well known property additional order conditions necessary. We give sufficient which class these condition automatically fulfilled. focus esp...

A robust algorithm to solve the low-thrust fuel-optimal trajectory optimization problem for interplanetary spacecraft is developed in this article. The original nonlinear optimal control convexified and transformed into a parameter using an arbitrary-order Gauss–Lobatto discretization scheme with interpolation. homotopic approach that considers energy-to-fuel smoothing path combined adaptive se...

Recently, the Legendre pseudospectral (PS) method migrated from theory to flight application onboard the International Space Station for performing a finite-horizon, zeropropellant maneuver. A small technical modification to the Legendre PS method is necessary to manage the limiting conditions at infinity for infinite-horizon optimal control problems. Motivated by these technicalities, the conc...
