A finite element method involving collocation method with quintic B-splines as basis functions has been developed to solve tenth order boundary value problems. The fifth order, sixth order, seventh order, eighth order, ninth order and tenth order derivatives for the dependent variable are approximated by the central differences of fourth order derivatives. The basis functions are redefined into...

In this paper, numerical solutions of the nonlinear Burgers_ equation are obtained by a method based on collocation of quintic B-splines over finite elements. Applying the Von-Neumann stability analysis, the proposed method is shown to be unconditionally stable. The accuracy of the presented method is demonstrated by one test problem. The numerical results are found to be in good agreement with...

This paper is intended as a contribution to enhance orthogonal collocation methods. In this, a novel collocation method—TH-collocation—is applied to the biharmonic equation and themerits of such procedure are exhibited. TH-collocation relaxes the continuity requirements and, for the 2D problems here treated, leads to the development of algorithms for which the matrices are sparse (nine-diagonal...

In this paper, we analyse some properties of the orthogonal collocation in the context of its use for reducing PDE (partial differential equations) chemical reactor models for numerical simulation and/or control design. The approximation of the first order derivatives is first considered and analysed with respect to the transfer of the stability properties of the transport component from the PD...

A lumped heat transfer model and parameter estimation technique are proposed for determining key parameters associated with a heat flux Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). The development of a mathematical algorithm utilizing this model and technique is illustrated in Part I of this two-part paper. In Part II, a computational algorithm which has been constructed for the proposed method is ...

Dedicated to Gerry Ladas on the occasion of his 60th Birthday Algorithmic aspects of a class of nite element collocation methods for the approximate numerical solution of elliptic partial diierential equations are described. Locally, for each nite element, the approximate solution is a polynomial. Polynomials corresponding to adjacent nite elements need not match continuously, but their values ...

The present paper uses new approach and methodology to solve second order one dimensional hyperbolic telegraph equation numerically by B-spline collocation method. It is based on collocation of modified cubic B-spline basis functions over the finite elements. The given equation is decomposed into system of equations and modified cubic B-spline basis functions have been used for spatial variable...

In this paper, an efficient numerical scheme based on uniform Haar wavelets is used to solve the non-planar Burgers equation. The quasilinearization technique is used to conveniently handle the nonlinear terms in the non-planar Burgers equation. The basic idea of Haar wavelet collocation method is to convert the partial differential equation into a system of algebraic equations that involves a ...

This paper presents an efficient multiscale stochastic framework for uncertainty quantification in modeling of flow through porous media with multiple rock types. The governing equations are based on Darcy’s law with nonstationary stochastic permeability represented as a sum of local Karhunen-Loève expansions. The approximation uses stochastic collocation on either a tensor product or a sparse ...
