The RK5GL3 method is a numerical method for solving initial value problems in ordinary differential equations, and is based on a combination of a fifth-order Runge-Kutta method and 3-point Gauss-Legendre quadrature. In this paper we describe the propagation of local errors in this method, and show that the global order of RK5GL3 is expected to be six, one better than the underlying RungeKutta m...

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...

A number of conservative PDEs, like various wave equations, allow for a multi-symplectic formulation which can be viewed as a generalization of the symplectic structure of Hamiltonian ODEs. We show that Gauss-Legendre collocation in space and time leads to multi-symplectic integrators, i.e., to numerical methods that preserve a symplectic conservation law similar to the conservation of symplect...

This paper proposes a new paradigm for solving systems of nonlinear equations through using Genetic Algorithm (GA) techniques. So, a great attention was presented to illustrate how genetic algorithms (GA) techniques can be used in finding the solution of a system described by nonlinear equations. To achieve this purpose, we apply Gauss–Legendre integration as a technique to solve the system of ...

This paper proposes a direct approach for solving optimal control problems. The time domain is divided into multiple subdomains, and a Lagrange interpolating polynomial using the Legendre–Gauss– Lobatto points is used to approximate the states and controls. The state equations are enforced at the Legendre–Gauss–Lobatto nodes in a nonlinear programming implementation by partial Gauss–Lobatto qua...

We introduce a new and eecient Chebyshev-Legendre Galerkin method for elliptic problems. The new method is based on a Legendre-Galerkin formulation, but only the Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto points are used in the computation. Hence, it enjoys advantages of both the Legendre-Galerkin and Chebyshev-Galerkin methods.

properties of the hybrid of block-pulse functions and lagrange polynomials based on the legendre-gauss-type points are investigated and utilized to define the composite interpolation operator as an extension of the well-known legendre interpolation operator. the uniqueness and interpolating properties are discussed and the corresponding differentiation matrix is also introduced. the appli...

In this article, a shifted Legendre tau method is introduced to get a direct solution technique for solving multi-order fractional differential equations (FDEs) with constant coefficients subject to multi-point boundary conditions. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. Also, this article reports a systematic quadrature tau method for numerically solving multi-point boundar...

Gauss–Legendre quadrature formulas have excellent convergence properties when applied to integrals ∫ 1 0 f(x) dx with f ∈ C∞[0, 1]. However, their performance deteriorates when the integrands f(x) are in C∞(0, 1) but are singular at x = 0 and/or x = 1. One way of improving the performance of Gauss–Legendre quadrature in such cases is by combining it with a suitable variable transformation such ...

We show that the weights of extended Gauss-Legendre quadrature rules are all positive.
