. In this paper, we develop a quadratic spline collocation method for integrating the nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) of a plug flow reactor model. The method is proposed in order to be used for the operation of control design and/or numerical simulations. We first present the Crank-Nicolson method to temporally discretize the state variable. Then, we develop and analyze the pro...

We derive a posteriori error estimates, which exhibit optimal global order, for a class of time stepping methods of any order that include Runge–Kutta Collocation (RK-C) methods and the continuous Galerkin (cG) method for linear and nonlinear stiff ODEs and parabolic PDEs. The key ingredients in deriving these bounds are appropriate one-degree higher continuous reconstructions of the approximat...

We prove quasioptimal and optimal order estimates in various Sobolev norms for the approximation of linear strongly elliptic pseudodifferential equations in one independent variable by the method of nodal collocation by odd degree polynomial splines. The analysis pertains in particular to many of the boundary element methods used for numerical computation in engineering applications. Equations ...

Collocation is a popular method in geodesy for combining heterogeneous data of different kind. It comprises adjustment, interpolation and extrapolation as special cases. Current methods of collocation apply however only if the trend parameters are real valued. In the present contribution we will generalize the theory of collocation by permitting the trend parameters to be integer valued. It wil...

We consider stochastic elliptic variational inequalities of the second kind involving a bilinear form with stochastic diffusion coefficient. We prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions, propose a stochastic Galerkin approximation of an equivalent parametric reformulation, and show equivalence to a related collocation method. Numerical experiments illustrate the efficiency of our approac...

In this paper, we apply the collocation methods to a class of Volterra integral functional equations with multiple proportional delays (VIFEMPDs). We shall present the existence, uniqueness and regularity properties of analytic solutions for this type of equations, and then analyze the convergence orders of the collocation solutions and give corresponding error estimates. The numerical results ...

in this work the collocation method based on quartic b-spline is developed and applied to two-point boundary value problem in ordinary diferential equations. the error analysis and convergence of presented method is discussed. the method illustrated by two test examples which verify that the presented method is applicable and considerable accurate.

In this paper, an approach based on statistical spline model (SSM) and collocation method is proposed to solve Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. The set of collocation nodes is chosen so that the points yield minimal error in the nodal polynomials. Under some standard assumptions, we establish the convergence property of this approach. Numerical results on some problems are given to describ...

In this paper, we propose and justify a spline-collocation method with first-order splines for approximate solution of nonlinear hypersingular integral equations Prandtl’s type. We obtained the estimates convergence rate error. The constructed computational scheme includes continuous solving operator equations, which is stable perturbations coefficients right-hand sides equations.

The stochastic collocation method [43, 1, 31, 30] has recently been applied to stochastic problems that can be transformed into parametric systems. Meanwhile, the reduced basis method [28, 40, 33], primarily developed for solving parametric systems, has been recently used to deal with stochastic problems [7, 6]. In this work, we aim at comparing the performance of the two methods when applied t...
