in the present paper, we develop a modified pseudospectral scheme for solving an optimal control problem which is governed by a switched dynamical system. many real-world processes such as chemical processes, automotive systems and manufacturing processes can be modeled as such systems. for this purpose, we replace the problem with an alternative optimal control problem in which the switching t...

Geometric discretizations that preserve certain Hamiltonian structures at the discrete level has been proven to enhance the accuracy of numerical schemes. In particular, numerous symplectic and multi-symplectic schemes have been proposed to solve numerically the celebrated Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In this work, we show that geometrical schemes are as much robust and accurate as Fourier...

A group of high order Gautschi-type exponential wave integrators (EWIs) Fourier pseudospectral method are proposed and analyzed for solving the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation (KGE) in the nonrelativistic limit regime, where a parameter 0 < ε 1 which is inversely proportional to the speed of light, makes the solution propagate waves with wavelength O(ε2) in time and O(1) in space. With the Four...

A time-splitting generalized-Laguerre-Fourier-Hermite pseudospectral method is proposed for computing the dynamics of rotating Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in two and three dimensions. The new numerical method is based on the following: (i) the use of a time-splitting technique for decoupling the nonlinearity; (ii) the adoption of polar coordinate in two dimensions, and resp. cylindrical co...

In this article we study the solvability of some boundary value problems for inhomogenous biharmobic equations. As a boundary operator we consider the differentiation operator of fractional order in the Miller-Ross sense. This problem is a generalization of the well known Neumann problems.
