This work introduces the weighted radial basis collocation method for boundary value problems. We first show that the employment of least-squares functional with quadrature rules constitutes an approximation of the direct collocation method. Standard radial basis collocation method, however, yields a larger solution error near boundaries. The residuals in the least-squares functional associated...

We present a collocatIon method based on piecewise cubic polynomials I In C for solving various Integral and differential equatIons. Two new methods for handling curved boundaries are discussed based on collocation and discrete least-squares. Finally, a summary of the properties of the collocation method Is given which IndIcates the simplicity, flexlbl1fty, efficiency, and generality of the met...

In this paper we present a new method of automatic collocation identification. Collocation is an important relation between words, which is widely used, among others, in information retrieval tasks. Over the last years, many methods of automatic collocation acquisition from text corpora have been proposed. The approach described in this paper differs from the others by focusing on domain colloc...

This paper describes the use of WordNet in a new technique for collocation extraction. The approach is based on restrictions on the possible substitutions for synonyms within candidate phrases. Following a general discussion of collocations and their applications, current extraction methods are briefly described. This is followed by a detailed description of the new approach and results and eva...

The purpose of this paper is to describe the discrete problem and iterative solution method for spectral simulations of the 3-D Navier-Stokes equations using a general 3-D coordinate mapping. A spectral collocation discretization is proposed along with a multi-level iterative method, and has two unique advantages. First, arbitrary coordinate mappings, which introduce non-constant coefficients i...
