This paper presents the application of the Successive Galerkin Approximation (SGA) to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation to obtain solutions of the optimal attitude control problem. Galerkin's method approximates the value function by a truncated Galerkin series expansion. To do so a truncated Galerkin basis set is formed. A suucient number of functions must be included in this Galerkin basis...

In this paper, we consider sampling in a reproducing kernel subspace of L. We introduce a pre-reconstruction operator associated with a sampling scheme and propose a Galerkin reconstruction in general Banach space setting. We show that the proposed Galerkin method provides a quasi-optimal approximation, and the corresponding Galerkin equations could be solved by an iterative approximation-proje...

In this paper we provide estimates to the rate of convergence of the nonlinear Galerkin approximation method. In particular, and by means of an illustrative example, we show that the nonlinear Galerkin method converges faster than the usual Galerkin method.

A method is presented to accelerate numerical simulations on parabolic problems using a numerical code and a Galerkin system (obtained vía POD plus Galerkin projection) on a sequence of interspersed intervals. The lengths of these intervals are chosen according to several basic ideas that include an a priori estímate of the error of the Galerkin approximation. Several improvements are introduce...

In this paper, the well known iterated Galerkin method and iterated Galerkin-Kantorovich regularization method for approximating the solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind are generalized to Hammerstein equations with smooth and weakly singular kernels. The order of convergence of the Galerkin method and those of superconvergence of the iterated methods are analyzed. Numeric...

We investigate the structural, spectral and sparsity properties of Stochastic Galerkin matrices as arise in the discretization of linear differential equations with random coefficient functions. These matrices are characterized as the Galerkin representation of polynomial multiplication operators. In particular, it is shown that the global Galerkin matrix associated with complete polynomials ca...

We analyze discontinuous Galerkin methods with penalty terms, namely, symmetric interior penalty Galerkin methods, to solve nonlinear Sobolev equations. We construct finite element spaces on which we develop fully discrete approximations using extrapolated Crank-Nicolson method. We adopt an appropriate elliptic-type projection, which leads to optimal ∞ L2 error estimates of discontinuous Galerk...
