Numerical approximations for population growth model by Rational Chebyshev and Hermite Functions collocation approach: A comparison

This paper aims to compare rational Chebyshev (RC) and Hermite functions (HF) collocation approach to solve the Volterra's model for population growth of a species within a closed system. This model is a nonlinear integro-differential equation where the integral term represents the effect of toxin. This approach is based on orthogonal functions which will be defined. The collocation method reduces the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. We also compare these methods with some other numerical results and show that the present approach is applicable for solving nonlinear integro-differential equations.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures; Published online in the journal of "Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences

Multistep collocation methods for Volterra Integral Equations

We introduce multistep collocation methods for the numerical integration of Volterra Integral Equations, which depend on the numerical solution in a fixed number of previous time steps. We describe the constructive technique, analyze the order of the resulting methods and their linear stability properties. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical expectations

A M\"untz-Collocation spectral method for weakly singular volterra integral equations

In this paper we propose and analyze a fractional Jacobi-collocation spectral method for the second kind Volterra integral equations (VIEs) with weakly singular kernel $(x-s)^{-\mu},0<\mu<1$. First we develop a family of fractional Jacobi polynomials, along with basic approximation results for some weighted projection and interpolation operators defined in suitable weighted Sobolev spaces. Then we construct an efficient fractional Jacobi-collocation spectral method for the VIEs using the zeros of the new developed fractional Jacobi polynomial. A detailed convergence analysis is carried out to derive error estimates of the numerical solution in both $L^{\infty}$- and weighted $L^{2}$-norms. The main novelty of the paper is that the proposed method is highly efficient for typical solutions that VIEs usually possess. Precisely, it is proved that the exponential convergence rate can be achieved for solutions which are smooth after the variable change $x\rightarrow x^{1/\lambda}$ for a suitable real number $\lambda$. Finally a series of numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the method

Shifted Jacobi spectral collocation method with convergence analysis for solving integro-differential equations and system of integro-differential equations

This article addresses the solution of multi-dimensional integro-differential equations (IDEs) by means of the spectral collocation method and taking the advantage of the properties of shifted Jacobi polynomials. The applicability and accuracy of the present technique have been examined by the given numerical examples in this paper. By means of these numerical examples, we ensure that the present technique is simple and very accurate. Furthermore, an error analysis is performed to verify the correctness and feasibility of the proposed method when solving IDE

Optimal control of system governed by nonlinear volterra integral and fractional derivative equations

AbstractThis work presents a novel formulation for the numerical solution of optimal control problems related to nonlinear Volterra fractional integral equations systems. A spectral approach is implemented based on the new polynomials known as Chelyshkov polynomials. First, the properties of these polynomials are studied to solve the aforementioned problems. The operational matrices and the Galerkin method are used to discretize the continuous optimal control problems. Thereafter, some necessary conditions are defined according to which the optimal solutions of discrete problems converge to the optimal solution of the continuous ones. The applicability of the proposed approach has been illustrated through several examples. In addition, a comparison is made with other methods for showing the accuracy of the proposed one, resulting also in an improved efficiency

A fractional B-spline collocation method for the numerical solution of fractional predator-prey models

We present a collocation method based on fractional B-splines for the solution of fractional differential problems. The key-idea is to use the space generated by the fractional B-splines, i.e., piecewise polynomials of noninteger degree, as approximating space. Then, in the collocation step the fractional derivative of the approximating function is approximated accurately and efficiently by an exact differentiation rule that involves the generalized finite difference operator. To show the effectiveness of the method for the solution of nonlinear dynamical systems of fractional order, we solved the fractional Lotka-Volterra model and a fractional predator-pray model with variable coefficients. The numerical tests show that the method we proposed is accurate while keeping a low computational cost

High-Order Multivariate Spectral Algorithms for High-Dimensional Nonlinear Weakly Singular Integral Equations with Delay

One of the open problems in the numerical analysis of solutions to high-dimensional nonlinear integral equations with memory kernel and proportional delay is how to preserve the high-order accuracy for nonsmooth solutions. It is well-known that the solutions to these equations display a typical weak singularity at the initial time, which causes challenges in developing high-order and efficient numerical algorithms. The key idea of the proposed approach is to adopt a smoothing transformation for the multivariate spectral collocation method to circumvent the curse of singularity at the beginning of time. Therefore, the singularity of the approximate solution can be tailored to that of the exact one, resulting in high-order spectral collocation algorithms. Moreover, we provide a framework for studying the rate of convergence of the proposed algorithm. Finally, we give a numerical test example to show that the approach can preserve the nonsmooth solution to the underlying problems. © 2022 by the authors.King Saud University, KSUM. A. Zaky and A.
