We formulate collocation Runge–Kutta time-stepping schemes applied to linear parabolic evolution equations as space-time Petrov–Galerkin discretizations, and investigate their a priori stability for the parabolic space-time norms, that is the continuity constant of the discrete solution mapping. We focus on collocation based on A-stable Gauss–Legendre and L-stable right-Radau nodes, addressing ...

Abstract. It was shown by P. J. Davis that the Newton-Cotes quadrature formula is convergent if the integrand is an analytic function that is regular in a sufficiently large region of the complex plane containing the interval of integration. In the present paper, a bound on the error of the Newton-Cotes quadrature formula for analytic functions is derived. Also the bounds on the Legendre polyno...

The main purpose of our work is to provide Fekete and Lebesgue points on three basic bidimensional compact sets, the simplex, the square, and the disk, by solving numerically the corresponding large-scale nonlinear optimization problems up to degree n = 18. Our results reach and often improve those previously known [1], [3]. In the case of the simplex, due to their relevance in developing spect...

in this paper, we consider the second-kind chebyshev polynomials (skcps) for the numerical solution of the fractional optimal control problems (focps). firstly, an introduction of the fractional calculus and properties of the shifted skcps are given and then operational matrix of fractional integration is introduced. next, these properties are used together with the legendre-gauss quadrature fo...

The Gauss-Kronrod quadrature scheme, which is based on the zeros of Legendre polynomials and Stieltjes polynomials, is the standard method for automatic numerical integration in mathematical software libraries. For a long time, very little was known about the error of the Gauss-Kronrod scheme. An essential progress was made only recently, based on new bounds and as-ymptotic properties for the S...

It is well known that semi-discrete high order discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods satisfy cell entropy inequalities for the square entropy for both scalar conservation laws and symmetric hyperbolic systems, in any space dimension and for any triangulations [39, 36]. However, this property holds only for the square entropy and the integrations in the DG methods must be exact. It is significantl...

In this work we discuss two different but related aspects of the development of efficient discontinuous Galerkin methods on hybrid element grids for the computational modeling of gas dynamics in complex geometries or with adapted grids. In the first part, a recursive construction of different nodal sets for hp finite elements is presented. The different nodal elements are evaluated by computing...
