The collocation method with multiquadrics basis functions and a first-order shear deformation theory are used to find natural flexural frequencies of a square plate with various material symmetries and subjected to different boundary conditions. Computed results are found to agree well with the literature values obtained by the solution of the three-dimensional elasticity equations using the fi...

A long-standing open question associated with the use of collocation methods for boundary value ordinary differential equations is concerned with the development of a high order continuous solution approximation to augment the high order discrete solution approximation, obtained at the mesh points which subdivide the problem interval. It is well known that the use of collocation at Gauss points...

This paper presents meshfree method for solving systems of linear Volterra integro-differential equations with initial conditions. This approach is based on collocation method using Sinc basis functions. It's well-known that the Sinc approximate solution converges exponentially to the exact solution. Some numerical results are included to show the validity of this method.

The aim of this talk is to present highly stable collocation based numerical methods for Volterra Integral Equations (VIEs). As it is well known, a collocation method is based on the idea of approximating the exact solution of a given integral equation with a suitable function belonging to a chosen finite dimensional space, usually a piecewise algebraic polynomial, which satisfies the integral ...

A truly meshfree method – the radial basis function collocation method is implemented for some 2-D and 3-D groundwater models. The results showed the superior simplicity, general applicability and accuracy of this method, which is a very promising simulation tool in many application areas.

This paper presents a new technique for numerical treatments of Volterra delay integro-differential equations that have many applications in biological and physical sciences. The technique is based on the mono-implicit Runge — Kutta method (described in [12]) for treating the differential part and the collocation method (using Boole’s quadrature rule) for treating the integral part. The efficie...

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of continuous collocation approximations of solutions of first kind Volterra integral equations. The results close some longstanding gaps in the theory of polynomial spline collocation methods for such equations. The convergence analysis is based on a Runge-Kutta or ODE approach.

Demands on numerical integration algorithms for astrodynamics applications continue to increase. Common methods, like explicit Runge-Kutta, meet the orbit propagation needs of most scenarios, but more specialized scenarios require new techniques to meet both computational efficiency and accuracy needs. This paper provides an extensive survey on the application of symplectic and collocation meth...

The set Λ consists of infinitely many linear real–valued functionals λ that usually take the form of point evaluations of functions or derivatives at points inside a domain or on some boundary or interface layer. If several differential or boundary operators are involved, we simply put everything into a single set Λ of functionals of various types. We call (1) a generalized interpolation proble...

We analyze collocation methods for nonlinear homogeneous Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearity. We present different kinds of existence and uniqueness of nontrivial collocation solutions and we give conditions for such existence and uniqueness in some cases. Finally we illustrate these methods with an example of a collocation problem, and we give some examples ...
