We consider the viscous Burgers equation with a fractional nonlinear term as a model involving non-local nonlinearities in conservation laws, which, surprisingly, has an analytical solution obtained by a fractional extension of the Hopf-Cole transformation. We use this model and its inviscid limit to develop stable spectral and discontinuous Galerkin spectral element methods by employing the co...

We present a graph spectral approach in which melodies are represented as graphs, based on the intervals between the notes they are composed of. These graphs are then indexed into a database using their laplacian spectra as a feature vector. This laplacian spectrum is a good representative of the original melody. Consequently, range searching around the query spectrum returns similar melodies.

In this paper, we investigate the spectral method on quadrilaterals. We introduce an orthogonal family of functions induced by Legendre polynomials, and establish some results on the corresponding orthogonal approximation. These results play important roles in the spectral method for partial differential equations defined on quadrilaterals. As examples of applications, we provide spectral schem...

φ(t) = F (t, φ(t)), t ∈ [a, b], φ(a) = φa. (1.1) where φa, φ(t) ∈ C n and F : R × C → C. Let {t}n=0 be equally spaced nodes in the interval [a, b] with t0 = a, tN = b. Let {t j n} M j=0 be the Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto nodes in the subinterval [tn, tn+1] with t 0 n = tn, t M n = tn+1. Denote ∆n = t j+1 n − t j n. 1.1 Forward Euler Scheme The Picard integral equation in each [tn, tn+1] associated w...

In this paper, we propose quasilinearization methods that convert nonlocal fully-nonlinear parabolic systems into the quasilinear systems. The serve as important mathematical tools for modelling subgame perfect equilibrium solutions to time-inconsistent dynamic choice problems, which are motivated by study of behavioral economics. Different types were studied but left behind case and connection...

We develop an exponentially accurate fractional spectral collocation method for solving steady-state and time-dependent fractional PDEs (FPDEs). We first introduce a new family of interpolants, called fractional Lagrange interpolants, which satisfy the Kronecker delta property at collocation points. We perform such a construction following a spectral theory recently developed in [M. Zayernouri ...

The object of investigation of the paper is a special type of difference equations containing the maximum value of the unknown function over a past time interval. These equations are adequate models of real processes which present state depends significantly on their maximal value over a past time interval. An algorithm based on the quasilinearization method is suggested to solve approximately ...
