Numerical solution of the delay differential equations of pantograph type via Chebyshev polynomials

In this article we propose a numerical scheme to solve the pantograph equation. The method consists of expanding the required approximate solution as the elements of the shifted Chebyshev polynomials. The Chebyshev pantograph operational matrix is introduced. The operational matrices of pantograph, derivative and product are utilized to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. An error analysis is presented which allows the number of polynomials employed in the approximation to be selected in advance for a desired tolerance. Some examples are given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the new method and a comparison is made with the existing results.

A new Jacobi rational–Gauss collocation method for numerical solution of generalized pantograph equations

This paper is concerned with a generalization of a functional differential equation known as the pantograph equation which contains a linear functional argument. In this article, a new spectral collocation method is applied to solve the generalized pantograph equation with variable coefficients on a semi-infinite domain. This method is based on Jacobi rational functions and Gauss quadrature integration. The Jacobi rational-Gauss method reduces solving the generalized pantograph equation to a system of algebraic equations. Reasonable numerical results are obtained by selecting few Jacobi rational–Gauss collocation points. The proposed Jacobi rational–Gauss method is favorably compared with other methods. Numerical results demonstrate its accuracy, efficiency, and versatility on the half-line.     

On the applicability of Genocchi wavelet method for different kinds of fractional‐order differential equations with delay

A novel collocation method based on Genocchi wavelet is presented for the numerical solution of fractional differential equations and time‐fractional partial differential equations with delay. In this work, to achieve the approximate solution with height accuracy, we employed the operational matrix of integer derivative and the pseudo‐operational matrix of fractional derivative in Caputo sense. Also, based on Genocchi function properties, we presented delay and pantograph operational matrices of Genocchi wavelet functions (GWFs). Due to operational and pseudo‐operational matrices, the equations under this study can be turned into nonlinear algebraic equations with the unknown GWF coefficients. For illustrating the upper bound of error for the proposed method, we estimate the error in the sense of Sobolev space. In addition, to demonstrate the efficacy of the pseudo‐operational matrix of fractional derivative, we investigate the upper bound of error for the mentioned matrix. Finally, the algorithm based on the proposed approach is implemented for some numerical experiments to confirm accuracy and applicability.     

Operational matrices of Chebyshev cardinal functions and their application for solving delay differential equations arising in electrodynamics with error estimation

In this paper, a new and effective direct method to determine the numerical solution of pantograph equation, pantograph equation with neutral term and Multiple-delay Volterra integral equation with large domain is proposed. The pantograph equation is a delay differential equation which arises in quite different fields of pure and applied mathematics, such as number theory, dynamical systems, probability, mechanics and electrodynamics. The method consists of expanding the required approximate solution as the elements of Chebyshev cardinal functions. The operational matrices for the integration, product and delay of the Chebyshev cardinal functions are presented. A general procedure for forming these matrices is given. These matrices play an important role in modelling of problems. By using these operational matrices together, a pantograph equation can be transformed to a system of algebraic equations. An efficient error estimation for the Chebyshev cardinal method is also introduced. Some examples are given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the method and a comparison is made with existing results.

Stability of Runge-Kutta methods for the generalized pantograph equation

Summary. This paper deals with stability properties of Runge-Kutta (RK) methods applied to a non-autonomous delay differential equation (DDE) with a constant delay which is obtained from the so-called generalized pantograph equation, an autonomous DDE with a variable delay by a change of the independent variable. It is shown that in the case where the RK matrix is regular stability properties of the RK method for the DDE are derived from those for a difference equation, which are examined by similar techniques to those in the case of autonomous DDEs with a constant delay. As a result, it is shown that some RK methods based on classical quadrature have a superior stability property with respect to the generalized pantograph equation. Stability of algebraically stable natural RK methods is also considered. Received May 5, 1998 / Revised version received November 17, 1998 / Published online September 24, 1999

The proposed approach is used this operational matrix with the collocation points to reduce the under study problem to a system of algebraic equations. An estimation of the error is given in the sense of Sobolev norms. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method are illustrated by several numerical examples.

Global existence to generalized Boussinesq equation with combined power-type nonlinearities

The Cauchy problem to the generalized Boussinesq equation with combined power-type nonlinearities is studied. Global solvability or finite time blow-up of the solutions with subcritical initial energy is proved by means of the sign preserving property of the Nehari functional. For generalized Lienard (or generalized Bernoulli) nonlinear terms the critical energy constant is explicitly evaluated. A new method, that can be considered as a modification of the potential well method, is developed. The performed numerical experiments support the theoretical results.

Bernoulli polynomials and Pascal matrices in the context of Clifford analysis

This paper describes an approach to generalized Bernoulli polynomials in higher dimensions by using Clifford algebras. Due to the fact that the obtained Bernoulli polynomials are special hypercomplex holomorphic (monogenic) functions in the sense of Clifford Analysis, they have properties very similar to those of the classical polynomials. Hypercomplex Pascal and Bernoulli matrices are defined and studied, thereby generalizing results recently obtained by Zhang and Wang (Z. Zhang, J. Wang, Bernoulli matrix and its algebraic properties, Discrete Appl. Math. 154 (11) (2006) 1622-1632).
