A collocation approach for solving linear complex differential equations in rectangular domains

In this paper, a collocation method is presented to find the approximate solution of high‐order linear complex differential equations in rectangular domain. By using collocation points defined in a rectangular domain and the Bessel polynomials, this method transforms the linear complex differential equations into a matrix equation. The matrix equation corresponds to a system of linear equations with the unknown Bessel coefficients. The proposed method gives the analytic solution when the exact solutions are polynomials. Numerical examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique and the comparisons are made with existing results. The results show the efficiency and accuracy of the present work. All of the numerical computations have been performed on a computer using a program written in MATLAB v7.6.0 (R2008a).

In this paper, a collocation method based on the Bessel polynomials is presented for the approximate solution of a class of the nonlinear Lane–Emden type equations, which have many applications in mathematical physics.

A numerical approach to solve the model of an electromechanical system

In this paper, the model of an electromechanical system, which is a system of linear differential equations, is studied. Haar wavelet collocation method (HWCM) is applied for finding the approximate solution of the model. HWCM reduces the system of the model into a matrix‐vector form that contains the unknown Haar coefficients, and these coefficients are easily calculated. To demonstrate the validity and applicability of HWCM, numerical solutions of the system for different parameter values in the system are presented. The obtained results demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the method. All of the computations are performed via a program written in Mathematica.     

An exponential matrix method for solving systems of linear differential equations

This paper presents an exponential matrix method for the solutions of systems of high‐order linear differential equations with variable coefficients. The problem is considered with the mixed conditions. On the basis of the method, the matrix forms of exponential functions and their derivatives are constructed, and then by substituting the collocation points into the matrix forms, the fundamental matrix equation is formed. This matrix equation corresponds to a system of linear algebraic equations. By solving this system, the unknown coefficients are determined and thus the approximate solutions are obtained. Also, an error estimation based on the residual functions is presented for the method. The approximate solutions are improved by using this error estimation. To demonstrate the efficiency of the method, some numerical examples are given and the comparisons are made with the results of other methods. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A linear homogeneous partial differential equation with entire solutions represented by Bessel polynomials

We have continued our earlier studies on entire solutions of some special type linear homogeneous partial differential equations. Specifically, we deal with entire solutions of the equations that are represented in convergent series of Bessel polynomials, and determine orders and types of the solutions, in terms of their Taylor coefficients, by establishing an analogue of Lindelöf-Pringsheim theorem as well as Wiman-Valiron type theory for such functions. Finally, by using value distribution theory of holomorphic functions, we are able to exhibit some uniqueness theorems of the entire (or meromorphic) solutions.
