We are concerned with linear and nonlinear multi-term fractional differential equations (FDEs). The shifted Chebyshev operationalmatrix (COM) of fractional derivatives is derived and used together with spectral methods for solving FDEs. Our approach was based on the shifted Chebyshev tau and collocation methods. The proposed algorithms are applied to solve two types of FDEs, linear and nonlinea...

We present a Python module named PyCheb, to solve the ordinary differential equations by using spectral collocation method. PyCheb incorporates discretization using Chebyshev points, barycentric interpolation and iterate methods. With this Python module, users can initialize the ODEsolver class by passing attributes, including the both sides of a given differential equation, boundary conditions...

A spectral solution of the RLW equation based on collocation method using Chebyshev polynomials as a basis for the approximate solution is proposed. Test problems, including the motion of a single solitary wave with different amplitudes are used to validate this algorithm which is found to be more accurate than previous ones. The interaction of solitary waves is used to discuss the effect of th...

The spectral methods seek the numerical solutions by a set of known polynomials. The main advantage of using spectral methods for solving atmospheric problems is the high efficiency and conservations of important quadratic quantities such as kinetic energy and enstrophy. Namely, we can get very high accuracy through the exponential convergence. The conservation of the quadratic quantities are i...

Consider a model eigenvalue problem with a piecewise constant coefficient. We split the domain at the discontinuity of the coefficient function and define the multidomain variational formulation for the eigenproblem. The discrete multidomain variational formulations are defined for Legendre–Galerkin and Legendre-collocation methods. The spectral rate of convergence of the approximate eigensolut...

A novel collocation method for a coupled system of singularly perturbed linear equations is presented. This method is based on rational spectral collocation method in barycentric form with sinh transform. By sinh transform, the original Chebyshev points are mapped into the transformed ones clustered near the singular points of the solution. The results from asymptotic analysis about the singula...
