In this paper, operational matrices of Riemann-Liouville fractional integration and Caputo fractional differentiation for shifted Jacobi polynomials are considered. Using the given initial conditions, we transform the fractional differential equation (FDE) into a modified fractional differential equation with zero initial conditions. Next, all the existing functions in modified differential equ...

The paper is dedicated to analytical and algebraic approaches to the problem of the integration of ordinary differential equations. The first part is devoted to linear ordinary differential equations of the second and nth orders, while the second deals with nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Factorization of nonlinear equations of the second and the third orders both through commutative...

In this article the nonlinear mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations are investigated by means of the modified threedimensional block-pulse functions (M3D-BFs). This method converts the nonlinear mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. The illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability and simplicity of our scheme.

We present a collocation method to obtain the approximate solution of Troesch's problem which arises in the confinement of a plasma column by radiation pressure and applied physics. By using the Christov rational functions and collocation points, this method transforms Troesch's problem into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The rate of convergence is shown to be exponential. The numer...

Abslraet--We consider the design of a feedback control law for control systems described by a class of nonlinear differential-algebraic equations so that certain desired outputs track given reference inputs. The nonlinear differential-algebraic control system being considered is not in state variable form. Assumptions are introduced and a procedure is developed such that an equivalent state rea...

In this investigation, the Sinc collocation method based on double exponential transformation is developed to solve the Troesche's problem. Properties of this method are utilized to reduce the system of strongly nonlinear two point boundary value problem to same nonlinear algebraic equations. Combining double exponential transformation through Sinc collocation method causes the remarkable resul...

In this paper, nonlinear bending analysis of bilayer orthotropic annular/circular graphene sheets is studied based on the nonlocal elasticity theory. The equilibrium equations are derived in terms of generalized displacements and rotations considering the first-order Shear deformation theory (FSDT). The nonlinear governing equations are solved using the differential quadrature method (DQM) whic...
