Acentral computational issue in solving infinite-horizonnonlinear optimal control problems is the treatment of the horizon. In this paper, we directly address this issue by a domain transformation technique that maps the infinite horizon to a finite horizon. The transformed finite horizon serves as the computational domain for an application of pseudospectral methods. Although any pseudospectra...

Abstract: In this paper, we studied the numerical solution of a time-fractional Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation with new generalized fractional derivative proposed recently.

A finite difference/collocation scheme based on Jacobi–Gauss–Lobatto (JGL) nodes was applie...

The von-K arm an nonlinear, dynamic, partial differential system over rectangular domains is considered, and numerically solved using both the Chebyshev-collocation and Legendre-collocation methods for the spatial discretization and the implicit Newmark-b scheme combined with a non-linear fixed point algorithm for the temporal discretization. As the system is non-linear, involving operators of ...

Alternative Legendre polynomials (ALPs) are used to approximate the solution of a class of nonlinear Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations. For this purpose, the operational matrices of integration and the product for ALPs are derived. Then, using the collocation method, the considered problem is reduced into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. The error analysis of the method is given an...

Three examples with different degrees of complexity are used to identify key differences between the three methods. The results of this study ...
