In this paper, An effective and simple numerical method is proposed for solving systems of integral equations using radial basis functions (RBFs). We present an algorithm based on interpolation by radial basis functions including multiquadratics (MQs), using Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto nodes and weights. Also a theorem is proved for convergence of the algorithm. Some numerical examples are presented...

We analyze the consistency, stability, and convergence of an hp discontinuous Galerkin spectral element method of Kopriva [J. Comput. Phys., 128 (1996), pp. 475–488] and Kopriva, Woodruff, and Hussaini [Internat. J. Numer. Methods Engrg., 53 (2002), pp. 105–122]. The analysis is carried out simultaneously for acoustic, elastic, coupled elastic-acoustic, and electromagnetic wave propagation. Our...

In this paper, we consider numerical differentiation of bivariate functions when a set of noisy data is given. A mollification method based on spanned by Legendre polynomials is proposed and the mollification parameter is chosen by a discrepancy principle. The theoretical analyses show that the smoother the genuine solution, the higher the convergence rates of the numerical solution. To get a p...

This paper reports a new spectral collocation algorithm for solving time-space fractional partial differential equations with subdiffusion and superdiffusion. In this scheme we employ the shifted Legendre Gauss-Lobatto collocation scheme and the shifted Chebyshev Gauss-Radau collocation approximations for spatial and temporal discretizations, respectively. We focus on implementing the new algor...

This paper presents the use of Legendre pseudospectral method for the optimization of finite-thrust orbital transfer for spacecrafts. In order to get an accurate solution, the System’s dynamics equations were normalized through a dimensionless method. The Legendre pseudospectral method is based on interpolating functions on Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto (LGL) quadrature nodes. This is used to transfor...

In this article we study the implementation of the Nonlinear Galerkin method as a multiresolution method when a two-level Chebyshev-collocation discretization is used. A fine grid containing an even number of Gauss-Lobatto points is considered. The grid is decomposed into two coarse grids based on half as many Gauss-Radau points. This splitting suggests a decomposition of the unknowns in low mo...

Abstract We prove that the most common filtering procedure for nodal discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods is stable. The proof exploits DG approximation constructed from polynomial basis functions and integrals are approximated with high-order accurate Legendre–Gauss–Lobatto quadrature. theoretical discussion re-contextualizes stable results finite difference into setting. Numerical tests verify...

Gauss–Legendre quadrature rules are of considerable theoretical and practical interest because of their role in numerical integration and interpolation. In this paper, a series expansion for the zeros of the Legendre polynomials is constructed. In addition, a series expansion useful for the computation of the Gauss–Legendre weights is derived. Together, these two expansions provide a practical ...

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...
