Jacobi Approximations in Certain Hilbert Spaces and Their Applications to Singular Differential Equations

Abstract

Jacobi approximations in certain Hilbert spaces are investigated. Several weighted inverse inequalities and Poincare inequalities are obtained. Some approximatioń results are given. Singular differential equations are approximated by using Jacobi polynomials. This method keeps the spectral accuracy. Some linear problems and a nonlinear logistic equation are considered. The stabilities and the convergences of proposed schemes are proved strictly. The main idea and techniques used in this paper are also applicable to other singular problems in multiple-dimensional spaces. ᮊ

Spectral Approximation of the Helmholtz Equation with High Wave Numbers

“…This result for n = 1 can be derived from [4] with an improvement of the norm in terms of the weights (r − r 2 ) s−1 2 given in [16]. For n = 2 with m = 0 and n = 3, one can refer to [15,16] for the proofs.…”

A new Reliable Numerical Algorithm Based on the First Kind of Bessel Functions to Solve Prandtl–Blasius Laminar Viscous Flow over a Semi-Infinite Flat Plate

“…Since for any n, J n (η) are differentiable at the point η = 0, we can simply satisfy the conditions of Blasius equation (9). Now, since J 0 (0) = 1 and d dη J 1 (0) = 1, we discard both of them.…”

“…(ii) Indirect approaches, e.g. Guo [8,9], proposed a method that proceeds by mapping the original problem in an unbounded domain to a problem in a bounded domain, and then using suitable Jacobi polynomials to approximate the resulting problems. (iii) Another class of spectral methods is based on rational approximations.…”

On the Analytic Solution for a Steady Magnetohydrodynamic Equation

“…In the investigation of boundary layer problems, by applying a good variables transformation, we convert the system of the Navier-Stokes equations to a nonlinear ordinary boundary value problem with a semi-infinite interval. In [2], the infinite domain is replaced with [−L, L] and the semi-infinite interval with [0, L] by selecting a sufficiently large L. Guo [3] converted the problem of semi-infinite domains to a model of a bounded domain. Authors of [4 -20] presented some other similar discussions.…”
