Gauss–Legendre quadrature formulas have excellent convergence properties when applied to integrals ∫ 1 0 f(x) dx with f ∈ C∞[0, 1]. However, their performance deteriorates when the integrands f(x) are in C∞(0, 1) but are singular at x = 0 and/or x = 1. One way of improving the performance of Gauss–Legendre quadrature in such cases is by combining it with a suitable variable transformation such ...

Abstract We consider solitary-wave solutions of the generalized Burger’s-Fisher equation ∂Ψ ∂t + αΨ δ ∂Ψ ∂x − ∂ 2Ψ ∂x2 = βΨ(1 − Ψδ). In this paper, we present a new method for solving of the generalized Burger’s-Fisher equation by using the collocation formula for calculating spectral differentiation matrix for Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto point. To reduce round-off error in spectral collocation met...

Superconvergence phenomenon of the Legendre spectral collocation method and the p-version finite element method is discussed under the one dimensional setting. For a class of functions that satisfy a regularity condition (M): ‖u‖L∞ ≤ cMk on a bounded domain, it is demonstrated, both theoretically and numerically, that the optimal convergent rate is supergeometric. Furthermore, at proper Gaussia...

in this paper, an effective and simple numerical method is proposed for solving systems of integral equations using radial basis functions (rbfs). we present an algorithm based on interpolation by radial basis functions including multiquadratics (mqs), using legendre-gauss-lobatto nodes and weights. also a theorem is proved for convergence of the algorithm. some numerical examples are presented...

We describe herein the parallel implementation of the Bi-CGSTAB method with a block Red-Black Gauss-Seidel (RBGS) preconditioner applied to the systems of linear algebraic equations that arise from the Hermite collocation discretization of partial di erential equations in two spatial dimensions. The method is implemented on the Cray T3E, a parallel processing supercomputer. Speedup results are ...

We analyze the consistency, stability, and convergence of an hp discontinuous Galerkin spectral element method. The analysis is carried out simultaneously for acoustic, elastic, coupled elastic–acoustic, and electromagnetic wave propagation. Our analytical results are developed for both conforming and non-conforming approximations on hexahedral meshes using either exact integration with Legendr...

We show that the weights of extended Gauss-Legendre quadrature rules are all positive.

Abstract. We present a new tunably-accurate Laguerre Petrov-Galerkin spectral method for solving linear multi-term fractional initial value problems with derivative orders at most one and constant coe cients on the half line. Our method results in a matrix equation of special structure which can be solved in O(N logN) operations. We also take advantage of recurrence relations for the generalize...
