The paper presents an uncertainty propagation method for problems with discontinuous surface responses. Based on Pade-Legendre (PL) approximants in multiple dimensions, the proposed method is global and non-intrusive. In this work, the PL method is applied to a model problem of supersonic flows with multiple possible flow configurations, depending on the uncertain input parameters. The results ...

In this manuscript a new method is introduced for solving fractional differential equations. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The main idea is to use fractional-order Legendre wavelets and operational matrix of fractional-order integration. First the fractional-order Legendre wavelets (FLWs) are presented. Then a family of piecewise functions is proposed, based on whi...

in this paper, an effective technique is proposed to determine thenumerical solution of nonlinear volterra-fredholm integralequations (vfies) which is based on interpolation by the hybrid ofradial basis functions (rbfs) including both inverse multiquadrics(imqs), hyperbolic secant (sechs) and strictly positive definitefunctions. zeros of the shifted legendre polynomial are used asthe collocatio...

Alternative Legendre polynomials (ALPs) are used to approximate the solution of a class of nonlinear Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations. For this purpose, the operational matrices of integration and the product for ALPs are derived. Then, using the collocation method, the considered problem is reduced into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. The error analysis of the method is given an...

In this paper, a super spectral viscosity method using the Chebyshev differential operator of high order Ds = ( √ 1− x2∂x) is developed for nonlinear conservation laws. The boundary conditions are treated by a penalty method. Compared with the second-order spectral viscosity method, the super one is much weaker while still guaranteeing the convergence of the bounded solution of the Chebyshev–Ga...

In this paper, we apply Legendre wavelet collocation method to obtain the approximate solution of nonlinear Stratonovich Volterra integral equations. The main advantage of this method is that Legendre wavelet has orthogonality property and therefore coefficients of expansion are easily calculated. By using this method, the solution of nonlinear Stratonovich Volterra integral equation reduces to...

A Legendre spectral collocation method is presented for the solution of the biharmonic Dirichlet problem on a square. The solution and its Laplacian are approximated using the set of basis functions suggested by Shen, which are linear combinations of Legendre polynomials. A Schur complement approach is used to reduce the resulting linear system to one involving the approximation of the Laplacia...
