Abstract In this paper, the stability characteristics of a novel strong-form meshless method, called the random differential quadrature (RDQ), are studied using the location of zeros or roots of its characteristic polynomials with respect to unit circle in complex plane by discretizing the domain with the uniform or random field nodes. This is achieved by carrying out the RDQ method stability analysis for the 1st-order wave, transient heat conduction and transverse beam deflection equations using both the analytical and numerical approaches. The RDQ method extends the applicability of the differential quadrature (DQ) method over irregular domain, discretized by randomly or uniformly… More >

Abstract Analytical particular solutions of Chebyshev polynomials are obtained for problems of Reissner plates under arbitrary loadings, which are governed by three coupled second-ordered partial differential equation (PDEs). Our solutions can be written explicitly in terms of monomials. By using these formulas, we can obtain the approximate particular solution when the arbitrary loadings have been represented by a truncated series of Chebyshev polynomials. In the derivations of particular solutions, the three coupled second-ordered PDE are first transformed into a single six-ordered PDE through the Hörmander operator decomposition technique. Then the particular solutions of this six-ordered PDE can be found in the… More >

Abstract Since the works of Newton and Lagrange, interpolation had been a mature technique in the numerical mathematics. Among the many interpolation methods, global or piecewise, the polynomial interpolation p(x) = a₀ + a₁x + ... + a_nxⁿ expanded by the monomials is the simplest one, which is easy to handle mathematically. For higher accuracy, one always attempts to use a higher-order polynomial as an interpolant. But, Runge gave a counterexample, demonstrating that the polynomial interpolation problem may be ill-posed. Very high-order polynomial interpolation is very hard to realize by numerical computations. In this paper we propose a new polynomial interpolation… More >

Abstract Adomian polynomials (AP's) are expressed in terms of new objects called reduced polynomials (RP's). These new objects, which carry two subscripts, are independent of the form of the nonlinear operator. Apart from the well-known two properties of AP's, curiously enough no further properties are discussed in the literature. We derive and discuss in full detail the properties of the RP's and AP's. We focus on the case where the nonlinear operator depends on one variable and construct the most general analytical expressions of the RP's for small values of the difference of their subscripts. It is shown that each RP… More >

Abstract In this paper we develop analytical particular solutions for the polyharmonic and the products of Helmholtz-type partial differential operators with Chebyshev polynomials at right-hand side. Our solutions can be written explicitly in terms of either monomial or Chebyshev bases. By using these formulas, we can obtain the approximate particular solution when the right-hand side has been represented by a truncated series of Chebyshev polynomials. These formulas are further implemented to solve inhomogeneous partial differential equations (PDEs) in which the homogeneous solutions are complementarily solved by the method of fundamental solutions (MFS). Numerical experiments, which include eighth order PDEs and three-dimensional… More >

Abstract In this paper we are looking forward to finding the approximate analytical solutions for fractional integro-differential equations by using Sumudu transform method and Hermite spectral collocation method. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. The applications related to Sumudu transform method and Hermite spectral collocation method have been developed for differential equations to the extent of access to approximate analytical solutions of fractional integro-differential equations.
