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...

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...

We present optimal error estimates for spectral Petrov–Galerkin methods and spectral collocation methods for linear fractional ordinary differential equations with initial value on a finite interval. We also develop Laguerre spectral Petrov–Galerkin methods and collocation methods for fractional equations on the half line. Numerical results confirm the error estimates.

We develop spectral collocation methods for fractional differential equations with variable order with two end-point singularities. Specifically, we derive three-term recurrence relations for both integrals and derivatives of the weighted Jacobi polynomials of the form 1 x μ1 1 Æ x 2P a,b j x a, b, μ1, μ2 Æ1 , which leads to the desired differentiation matrices. We apply the new differentiation...

We consider hyperbolic systems of conservation laws which are discretized in space by spectral collocation methods and advanced in time by finite difference schemes. At any time-level we introduce a domain decomposition method based on an iteration-by-subdomain procedure yielding at each step a sequence of independent subproblems (one for each subdomain) that can be solved simultaneously. The m...

We propose and analyze a C spectral element method for a model eigenvalue problem with discontinuous coefficients in the one dimensional setting. A super-geometric rate of convergence is proved for the piecewise constant coefficients case and verified by numerical tests. Furthermore, the asymptotical equivalence between a Gauss-Lobatto collocation method and a spectral Galerkin method is establ...

The recognition and the calculation of all branches of solutions of the nonlinear boundary value problems is difficult obviously. The complexity of this issue goes back to the being nonlinearity of the problem. Regarding this matter, this paper considers steady state reactive transport model which does not have exact closed-form solution and discovers existence of dual or triple solutions in so...

Spectral methods for the solution of a boundary value problem an ordinary differential equation are reviewed with particular emphasis laid on pseudo-spectral collocation method. The pseudo-collocation method is then used to solve one dimensional bio-heat metabolic heat generation in cylindrical coordinates applied human tissue. It was noticed that increase transfer coefficient (hA), enhanced te...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in analyzing and quantifying the effects of random inputs in the solution of ordinary/partial differential equations. To this end, the spectral stochastic finite element method (SSFEM) is the most popular method due to its fast convergence rate. Recently, the stochastic sparse grid collocation method has emerged as an attractive alternative to ...
