Using direct method for solving variational problems via triangular orthogonal functions
DOI:10.1016/j.amc.2007.02.080.png)
Abstract
En 中文
This paper establishes a Ritz direct method for solving variational problems via a set of complementary pair of triangular orthogonal functions, derived from well-known block pulse functions. The properties of triangular functions are presented, and the operational matrices for integration, product and some formulas for calculating definite integration of product are derived and utilized to obtain a clear procedure to reduce a variational problem to the solution of algebraic equations. Illustrative examples are included to show the high accuracy of the estimation, and to demonstrate validity and applicability of the method. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
