Function-valued Padé-type approximant via the formal orthogonal polynomials and its applications in solving integral equations

A kind of function-valued Padé-type approximant via the formal orthogonal polynomials (FPTAVOP) is introduced on the polynomial space and an algorithm is sketched by means of the formal orthogonal polynomials. This method can be applied to approximate characteristic values and the corresponding characteristic function of Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Moreover, theoretical analyses show that FPTAVOP method is the most effective one for accelerating the convergence of a sequence of functions. In addition, a typical numerical example is presented to illustrate when the estimates of characteristic value and characteristic function by using this new method are more accurate than other methods.     

Utilizing feed-back neural network approach for solving linear Fredholm integral equations system

This paper intended to offer an architecture of artificial neural networks (NNs) for finding approximate solution of a second kind linear Fredholm integral equations system. For this purpose, first we substitute the N-th truncation of the Taylor expansion for unknown functions in the origin system. By applying the suggested neural network for adjusting the real coefficients of given expansions in resulting system. The proposed NN is a two-layer feed-back neural network such that it can get a initial vector and then calculates it’s corresponding output vector. In continuance, a cost function is defined by using output vector and the target outputs. Consequently, the reported NN using a learning algorithm that based on the gradient descent method, will adjust the coefficients in given Taylor series. Eventually, we have showed this method in comparison with existing numerical methods such as trapezoidal quadrature rule provides solutions with good generalization and high accuracy. The proposed method is illustrated by several examples with computer simulations.     

A numerical method for solving linear integral equations of the second kind on the non-rectangular domains based on the meshless method

The main purpose of this article is to describe a numerical scheme for solving two-dimensional linear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind on a non-rectangular domain. The method approximates the solution by the discrete collocation method based on radial basis functions (RBFs) constructed on a set of disordered data. The proposed method does not require any background mesh or cell structures, so it is meshless and consequently independent of the geometry of domain. This approach reduces the solution of the two-dimensional integral equation to the solution of a linear system of algebraic equations. The error analysis of the method is provided. The proposed scheme is also extended to linear mixed Volterra–Fredholm integral equations. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the new technique.     

A two-dimensional matrix Padé-type approximation in the inner product space

By introducing a bivariate matrix-valued linear functional on the scalar polynomial space, a general two-dimensional (2-D) matrix Padé-type approximant (BMPTA) in the inner product space is defined in this paper. The coefficients of its denominator polynomials are determined by taking the direct inner product of matrices. The remainder formula is developed and an algorithm for the numerator polynomials is presented when the generating polynomials are given in advance. By means of the Hankel-like coefficient matrix, a determinantal expression of BMPTA is presented. Moreover, to avoid the computation of the determinants, two efficient recursive algorithms are proposed. At the end the method of BMPTA is applied to partial realization problems of 2-D linear systems.

Hardy and singular operators in weighted generalized Morrey spaces with applications to singular integral equations

We study the weighted boundedness of the multi‐dimensional Hardy‐type and singular operators in the generalized Morrey spaces , defined by an almost increasing function φ(r) and radial type weights. We obtain sufficient conditions, in terms of numerical characteristics, that is, index numbers of the weight functions and the function φ. In relation with the wide usage of singular integral equations in applications, we show how the solvability of such equations in the generalized Morrey spaces depends on the main characteristics of the space, which allows to better control both the singularities and regularity of solutions.

Summatory and integral equations in periodic diffraction problems for elastic waves at defects in stratified media

We consider the diffraction problem for an elastic wave on a periodic set of defects located at the interface of stratified media. We reduce the mentioned problem to a pair summatory functional equation with respect to coefficients of the expansion of the desired wave by quasiperiodic waves (the Floquet waves). Using the method of integral identities, we reduce the pair equation to a regular infinite system of linear equations. One can solve this system by the truncation method. We prove that the integral identity is the necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of the auxiliary overspecified problem for a system of equations in a half-plane in the elasticity theory. We obtain integral equations of the second kind which are equivalent to the initial diffraction problem.     

Computational methods of solving the boundary value problems for the loaded differential and Fredholm integro‐differential equations

The article presents a new general solution to a loaded differential equation and describes its properties. Solving a linear boundary value problem for loaded differential equation is reduced to the solving a system of linear algebraic equations with respect to the arbitrary vectors of general solution introduced. The system's coefficients and right sides are computed by solving the Cauchy problems for ordinary differential equations. Algorithms of constructing a new general solution and solving a linear boundary value problem for loaded differential equation are offered. Linear boundary value problem for the Fredholm integro‐differential equation is approximated by the linear boundary value problem for loaded differential equation. A mutual relationship between the qualitative properties of original and approximate problems is obtained, and the estimates for differences between their solutions are given. The paper proposes numerical and approximate methods of solving a linear boundary value problem for the Fredholm integro‐differential equation and examines their convergence, stability, and accuracy.     

Nonelement boundary representation with Bézier surface patches for 3D linear elasticity problems in parametric integral equation system (PIES) and its solving using Lagrange polynomials

In this article, we present a strategy of using rectangular and triangular Bézier surface patches for nonelement representation of 3D boundary geometries for problems of linear elasticity. The boundary generated in this way is directly incorporated in the parametric integral equation system (PIES), which has been developed by the authors. The boundary values on each surface patch are approximated by Lagrange polynomials. Three illustrative examples are presented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed boundary representation in connection with PIES and to show good accuracy of numerical results.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the Ni(x) integral function and its application to the Airy’s non-homogeneous equation

In this article, we discuss a recently introduced function, Ni(x), to which we will refer as the Nield-Kuznetsov function. This function is attractive in the solution of inhomogeneous Airy’s equation. We derive and document some elementary properties of this function and outline its application to Airy’s equation subject to initial conditions. We introduce another function, Ki(x), that arises in connection with Ni(x) when solving Airy’s equation with a variable forcing function. In Appendix A, we derive a number of properties of both Ni(x) and Ki(x), their integral representation, ascending and asymptotic series representations. We develop iterative formulae for computing all derivatives of these functions, and formulae for computing the values of the derivatives at x = 0. An interesting finding is the type of differential equations Ni(x) satisfies. In particular, it poses itself as a solution to Langer’s comparison equation.     

Application of Wiener-Hopf technique to linear nonhomogeneous integral equations for a new representation of Chandrasekhar's H-function in radiative transfer, its existence and uniqueness

In this paper, the linear nonhomogeneous integral equation of H-functions is considered to find a new form of H-function as its solution. The Wiener-Hopf technique is used to express a known function into two functions with different zones of analyticity. The linear nonhomogeneous integral equation is thereafter expressed into two different sets of functions having the different zones of regularity. The modified form of Liouville's theorem is thereafter used, Cauchy's integral formulae are used to determine functional representation over the cut region in a complex plane. The new form of H-function is derived both for conservative and nonconservative cases. The existence of solution of linear nonhomogeneous integral equations and its uniqueness are shown. For numerical calculation of this new H-function, a set of useful formulae are derived both for conservative and nonconservative cases.     

A spectral element method using the modal basis and its application in solving second‐order nonlinear partial differential equations

We present a high‐order spectral element method (SEM) using modal (or hierarchical) basis for modeling of some nonlinear second‐order partial differential equations in two‐dimensional spatial space. The discretization is based on the conforming spectral element technique in space and the semi‐implicit or the explicit finite difference formula in time. Unlike the nodal SEM, which is based on the Lagrange polynomials associated with the Gauss–Lobatto–Legendre or Chebyshev quadrature nodes, the Lobatto polynomials are used in this paper as modal basis. Using modal bases due to their orthogonal properties enables us to exactly obtain the elemental matrices provided that the element‐wise mapping has the constant Jacobian. The difficulty of implementation of modal approximations for nonlinear problems is treated in this paper by expanding the nonlinear terms in the weak form of differential equations in terms of the Lobatto polynomials on each element using the fast Fourier transform (FFT). Utilization of the Fourier interpolation on equidistant points in the FFT algorithm and the enough polynomial order of approximation of the nonlinear terms can lead to minimize the aliasing error. Also, this approach leads to finding numerical solution of a nonlinear differential equation through solving a system of linear algebraic equations. Numerical results for some famous nonlinear equations illustrate efficiency, stability and convergence properties of the approximation scheme, which is exponential in space and up to third‐order in time.
