In this paper, we develop a Jacobi-Gauss-Lobatto collocation method for solving the nonlinear fractional Langevin equation with three-point boundary conditions. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The shifted Jacobi-Gauss-Lobatto points are used as collocation nodes. The main characteristic behind the Jacobi-Gauss-Lobatto collocation approach is that it reduces such a pr...

We target here to solve numerically a class of nonlinear fractional two-point boundary value problems involving left- and right-sided derivatives. The main ingredient the proposed method is recast problem into an equivalent system weakly singular integral equations. Then, Legendre-based spectral collocation developed for solving transformed system. Therefore, we can make good use advantages Gau...

Recently, the Legendre pseudospectral (PS) method migrated from theory to flight application onboard the International Space Station for performing a finite-horizon, zeropropellant maneuver. A small technical modification to the Legendre PS method is necessary to manage the limiting conditions at infinity for infinite-horizon optimal control problems. Motivated by these technicalities, the conc...

In this study, we consider ill-posed time-domain inverse problems for dynamical systems with various boundary conditions and unknown controllers. Dynamical systems characterized by a system of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are recast into a system of nonlinear first order ODEs in mixed variables. Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) are assumed as trial functions for th...

In this paper, a new class of Runge–Kutta-type collocation methods for the numerical integration ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is presented. Its derivation based on integral form equation. The approach enables enhancing accuracy established Runge–Kutta while retaining same number stages. We demonstrate that, with proposed approach, Gauss–Legendre and Lobatto IIIA can be derived that th...

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 ...

The RK5GL3 method is a numerical method for solving initial value problems in ordinary differential equations, and is based on a combination of a fifth-order Runge-Kutta method and 3-point Gauss-Legendre quadrature. In this paper we describe the propagation of local errors in this method, and show that the global order of RK5GL3 is expected to be six, one better than the underlying RungeKutta m...

Based on the Legendre pseudospectral method, we propose a numerical treatment for pricing perpetual American put option with stochastic volatility. In this simple approach, a nonlinear algebraic equation system is first derived, and then solved by the Gauss-Newton algorithm. The convergence of the current scheme is ensured by constructing a test example similar to the original problem, and comp...

An adaptive mesh refinement method for solving optimal control problems is developed. The method employs orthogonal collocation at Legendre-Gauss-Radau points, and adjusts both the mesh size and the degree of the approximating polynomials in the refinement process. A previously derived convergence rate is used to guide the refinement process. The method brackets discontinuities and improves sol...
