11 1.3 Laguerre Gauss Type Quadarature Theorem 1. Let {x α j,ω α j } N j=0 be the set of LG or LGR nodes and weights. Laguerre Gauss (LG): {x α j } N j=0 are zeros of L (α) N+1 (x), ω α Γ(N +α+1) j = (N +1)! = Γ(N +α+1) (N +α+1)(n +1)! 1 L (α) N (x α j ) x L (α) N+1 (x α j ) x j α [ L N (α) (x j α ) ], 0 j N. 2 (19) Laguerre Gauss Radau (LGR): x α 0 =0 and {x α j } N j=1 are zeros of x L (α) N+1 (x); ω α 0 = (α+1)γ2 (α+1)n!, ω α Γ(N +α+2) j = = Γ(N +α+1) 1 [ N!(N +α+1) x L (α) N (x α j ) Γ(N +α+1) 1 [ ] N!(N +α+1) L (α) N (x α 2, 1 j<n. j ) ] 2 (20) with δ=1,0 for LG and LGR quadrature, respectively, we have 0 + N p(x)x α e x dx= j=0 p(x j α )ω j α, p P 2N+δ, (21) 11

12 Remark 2. Denote {x j,ω j } N j=0 type nodes and weigths LG case: {x j } N j=0 ω j = the usual (α=0) Laguerre Gauss zeros of L N+1 (x), x j (N +1)L 2, 0 j N. (22) N (x j ) LGR case: x 0 =0, {x j } N j=1 zeros of x L N+1 (x), ω j = 1 (N +1)L 2, 0 j N. (23) N (x j ) We find from (9) that weights are exponentially small for large x j. L N (x) e x/2 (Nx) 1/4 ω j e x x j j N 12

13 Theorem 3. Let {x α j,ω α j } N j=0 and weights. Define be the LG or LGR quadrature nodes and ωˆjα =e x j α ω j α, 0 j N, (24) PˆN 6 { φ:φ=e x/2 ψ, ψ P N }. (25) Then we have the modified quadrature formula 0 + N p(x)x α dx= j=0 p(x j α )ωˆjα, p Pˆ2N+δ, (26) where δ=1,0 for the modified Laguerre Gauss rule and the modified Laguerre Gauss Radau rule, respectively. Remark 4. For α = 0, ωˆj = ωˆj=o ( ) x j /N. 1 (N +1) [ LˆN(x j ) ] 2, 0 j N 13

First calculate weights {ωˆjα } N j=0, then compute {ω α j } N j=0 by ω j α =e x j α ωˆjα, 0 j N. Nodes distribution: min j {x α j } N 1, max j {x α α j } 4N, min j x j+1 x α j N 1 14

16 1.4 Interpolation and Discrete Laguerre Transform {x α j,ωˆjα } N j=0 u,v N,ωˆα= j=0 modified LG or LGR nodes and weights, define N u(x α j )v(x α j )ωˆjα, u N,ωˆα= u,u N,ωˆα. The exactness of the Gauss quadrature implies p,q N,ωˆα=(p,q) ωˆα, p q Pˆ2N+δ, (27) where δ=1,0 for the modified LG and LGR quadrature, respectively. Define interpolation Î N (α) :C[0,+ ) PˆN as ( ) Î (α) N u (x)= N n=0 ũ α n Lˆn (α) (x). sucht that ( ) Î (α) N u (x α j )=u(x α j ), 0 j N. 16

17 Given the physical values {u(x α j )} N j=0, the coefficients {ũ α N n } n=0 be determined by the forward discrete transform: ũ n α = 1 γ n (α) N j=0 u(x α j )Lˆn (α) (x α j )ωˆjα, 0 n N. can Backward discrete transform calculates {u(x α j )} N j=0 using {ũ α n } n=0 : N u(x j α )= n=0 ũ α n Lˆn (α) (x α j ), 0 j N. The above definitions extends to usual Laguerre-Gauss transform directly (by removing ˆ ). 17

37 3.2 Orthogonal Projections 2 Laguerre polynomial L ωα projection: Π N,α :L 2 ωα (R + ) P N we have Define (Π N,α u u,v N ) ωα =0, v N P N (71) Π N,α u= N n=0 û n (α) L n (α) (x), û n (α) = 1 γ n (α) ( u,l n (α) ) ω α. B m α (R + {u: k 2 )6 x u L ωα+k (R + ), 0 k m}, (72) u Bα m=( m k=0 k 2 x u ωα+k ) 1/2, u Bα m= m x u ωα+m. Theorem 12. Let α> 1. If u B m α (R + ) and 0 m N +1, then l (N m+1)! x (Π N,α u u) ωα+l m (N l+1)! x u ωα+m. (73) 37

38 Laguerre function case: ωˆα=x α For u L 2 ωˆa (R + ), we have ue x/2 L 2 ωα (R + ). Define Clearly Define ΠˆN,αu=e x/2 Π N,α ( ue x/2 ). PˆN (74) ( ΠˆN,α u u,v N ) ωˆα=0, v N PˆN. m { Bˆα (R+ u: ˆx k )6 2 u L ωˆα+k (R + ), 0 k m }, (75) ( u m Bˆα = m k=0 Theorem 13. ˆxk u 2 ωˆα+k ) 1/2, u Bˆ m α = ˆxm u ωˆα+m. m Let α> 1. If u Bˆα (R+ ) and 0 m N +1, then ˆxl (Π N,α u u) ωˆα+l (N m+1)! (N l+1)! ˆxm u ωˆα+m. (76) 38

39 Remark 14. Remarks on Laguerre approximation: 1. The convergence rate is about N (l m)/2, is only half of the classical Jacobi approximation. This is a direct consequence of the linear growth of the eigenvalues in the Sturm Liouville problem. 2. B m α (R + ) includes functions that do not decay at infinity. A fast convergence rate in ωα+l norm does not mean that the error would decay rapidly for large x. m 3. u Bˆα (R+ ) requires u decays at infinity. So theorem (13) doesn t apply to functions like sin(x). On the other hand, for u(x)=(1+x) h and u(x)=sin(kx)/(1+x) h, we have for both ˆxm u ωˆα+m < if m<2h α 1, so we have u ΠˆN,α u ωˆa N (2h α 1)/2. (77) 39

43 Theorem 17. If v H 2 0,ω (R + ) and 2 x v B m 2 0 (R + ) with 2 m N +1, then we have 2,0 ΠN v v 2,ω c (N m+1)! (N 1)! x m v ωm 2. (84) For u H 2 0 (R + ) and all u N XˆN, we have (( 2,0 u ΠˆN u ),u ) N + 1 (( 2,0 2 u ΠˆN u ) ) 1 (,u N + 2,0 ) 16 u ΠˆN u,u N =0. (85) Moreover, if u H 2 0 (R + ) and ˆx 2 u Bˆ0 m 2 (R + ) with 2 m N +1, then 2,0 ΠˆN u u (N m+1)! 2,ωˆ c ˆxm u (N 1)! ωˆm 2. (86) 43

(117) For a given mapping x=g(y,s), define a s (x)6 dx dy (>0), U s(y)6 u(x)=u(g(y,s)). (118) Then by defining D x a u6 du s, we have dx du s dy =a du s dx =D xu, d k U s dy k =D x k u. (119) 63

66 Remark For u=(1+x) h and u=(1+x 2 ) h a. if h positive integer, expressed exactly by finite sum of mapped rational functions b. for other case, algebraic convergence rate but faster than approx. by Laguerre functions or Hermite functions. 2. For solutions with oscillation u(x) = sin(kx) (1+x) h, sin(kx) (1+x 2 ) h. The convergence rates are much slower than solution without oscillations. And also slower than Laguerre functions and Hermite functions methods.. 3. For solutions with exponetial decay at infinity, the convergence rate is faster than any algebraic rate. e c N 66

69 5.3 Spectral Methods Using Mapped Jacobi Polynomials γu x (a(x) x u)=f, x Λ=(,+ ), γ>0 (129) For a given map x=g(y;s), the weighted weak form { 1 Findu B α,β (Λ) such that γ(u,v) ωs α,β+ ( ( α,β a(x) x u, )) 1 x vωs =(f,v) ωs α,β, v B α,β (Λ). (130) The corresponding mapped Jacobi Galerkin method is Findu N V α,β α,β N,s such that v N V N,s γ(u N,v N ) ωs α,β+ ( ( α,β a(x) x u N, x vn ω )) s = ( I α,β ) N,s f,v N ω s α,β. (131) 69

70 A second approach: Jacobi approximation for transformed problem: γu s (y) ( ) 1 a(g(y;s)) g (y;s) y g (y;s) yu s (y) =F s (y), (132) where U s (y)=u(g(y;s)) and F s (y)=f(g(y;s)). Let ωˆs α,β (y)=ω α,β (y)g (y;s). Jacobi-Gelerkin method for (132) is Findũ N P N s.t. ( ṽ N P N a(g(y;s)) γ(ũ N,ṽ N ) ω α,β+ ( α,β g (y;s) yũ N, )) y ṽn ωˆs = ( I α,β (133) N F s,ṽ N )ω α,β This approach is in general more difficult to analyze, but can be easily implemented using the standard Jacobi collocation method. 70

(136) DenoteX N = { u V α,β N,s :u(0)=0 }. Jacobi Galerkin approximation is { FinduN X N such that a ω (u N,v N )= ( I α,β ) N,s f,v N ω, v (137) N X n, 71

72 Lemma 30. Assume that d 1 = max x Λ ω 1 (x) x ω(x), d 2 = max x Λ ω 1 (x) x 2 ω(x) are finite. Then, for any u,v H ω 1 (Λ), a ω (u,v) (d 1 +1) u 1,ω v 1,ω +γ u ω v ω. If, in addition v 2 (x)ω (x) x=0 =0 and lim x v 2 ω (x) 0, then 2 a ω (v,v) v 1,ω +(γ d 2 /2) v 2 ω, v H 1 ω (Λ). (138) Theorem 31. Assume that the condition of Lemma 30 are satisfied and γ d 2 /2>0. Then the problem ( 137) admits a unique solution. We have u u N 1,ω inf u v N 1,ω + f α,β IN,s f v N X ω. (139) N 72

73 For mapped Legendre method (d 1 2, d 2 6) Corollary 32. Let u and u N be respectively the solution of ( 135) and ( 137) with (α,β)=(0,0) and the mapping ( 110) with s=1. Assume m that u B 0,0 (Λ) and f k B 0,0 (Λ), k,m 1 and γ>3, we have u u N 1,ω1 0,0 N 1 m D m x u m,m ω1 +N k D k x f ω1 k,k, (140) 73

74 For mapped Chebyshev method. We have d 1,d 2 =. but a ω (, ) is still continuous and coercive [cf. Guo et al. 2002]. Corollary 33. Let u and u N be the solution of (135) and (137) with (α,β)=( 1/2, 1/2) and the mapping ( 110) with s=1. Assume that m m u B 1/2, 1/2 (Λ) and f B 1/2, 1/2 (Λ) and that γ> 14, we have 17 u u N 1,ω1 1/2, 1/2 N 1 m D x m u ω1 m 1/2,m 1/2+N k D x k f ω1 k 1/2,k 1/2, (141) 74

75 Implementation and Numerical Results Take φ k (x)=j 0,0 0,0 s,k (x)+j s,k+1 then ω(x)= 2. (1+x) 2 with s=1 as basis of X N, (137) leads to a non-symmetric sparse system (M tridiagonal, S seven diagonal ) (γm +S)u=f (142) 75

79 Conclusion 1. Two approaches to solve problem in unbounded domain a. Laguerre/Hermite method b. Mapped Jacobi method 2. The convergence rates of two approaches are compatible 3. Scaling parameter affects the convergence rates. 79
