Abstract. Projection methods are commonly used to approximate solutions of ordinary and partial differential equations. A basis of the subspace under consideration is needed to apply the projection method. This paper discusses methods of obtaining a basis for piecewise polynomial Hermite subspaces. A simple recursive procedure is derived for generating piecewise Hermite polynomials. These polynomials are then used to obtain approximate solutions of differential equations.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
