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

Parallel algorithm with spectral convergence for nonlinear integro-differential equations

We discuss a numerical algorithm for solving nonlinear integro-differential equations, and illustrate our findings for the particular case of Volterra type equations. The algorithm combines a perturbation approach meant to render a linearized version of the problem and a spectral method where unknown functions are expanded in terms of Chebyshev polynomials (El-gendi's method). This approach is shown to be suitable for the calculation of two-point Green functions required in next to leading order studies of time-dependent quantum field theory.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figure

Numerical Methods for the Nonlocal Wave Equation of the Peridynamics

In this paper we will consider the peridynamic equation of motion which is described by a second order in time partial integro-differential equation. This equation has recently received great attention in several fields of Engineering because seems to provide an effective approach to modeling mechanical systems avoiding spatial discontinuous derivatives and body singularities. In particular, we will consider the linear model of peridynamics in a one-dimensional spatial domain. Here we will review some numerical techniques to solve this equation and propose some new computational methods of higher order in space; moreover we will see how to apply the methods studied for the linear model to the nonlinear one. Also a spectral method for the spatial discretization of the linear problem will be discussed. Several numerical tests will be given in order to validate our results

Collocation Method using Compactly Supported Radial Basis Function for Solving Volterra's Population Model

In this paper, indirect collocation approach based on compactly supported radial basis function is applied for solving Volterras population model. The method reduces the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. Volterras model is a non-linear integro-differential equation where the integral term represents the effect of toxin. To solve the problem, we use the well-known CSRBF: Wendland3,5. Numerical results and residual norm 2 show good accuracy and rate of convergence.Comment: 8 pages , 1 figure. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1008.233

Direct localized boundary-domain integro-differential formulations for physically nonlinear elasticity of inhomogeneous body

A static mixed boundary value problem (BVP) of physically nonlinear elasticity for a continuously inhomogeneous body is considered. Using the two-operator Green-Betti formula and the fundamental solution of an auxiliary linear operator, a non-standard boundary-domain integro-differential formulation of the problem is presented, with respect to the displacements and their gradients. Using a cut-off function approach, the corresponding localized parametrix is constructed to reduce the nonlinear BVP to a nonlinear localized boundary-domain integro-differential equation. Algorithms of mesh-based and mesh-less discretizations are presented resulting in sparsely populated systems of nonlinear algebraic equations
