Mk. Eldaou et El. Ortiz, A RECURSIVE FORMULATION OF GALERKINS METHOD IN TERMS OF THE TAU METHOD - BOUNDED AND UNBOUNDED-DOMAINS, Computers & mathematics with applications, 35(12), 1998, pp. 83-94
The recursive formulation of the Tau Method (see [1,2]) is used to sim
ulate the method of Galerkin. As a result of this, a new recursive for
mulation of Galerkin's Method is deduced. Furthermore, it is shown tha
t the Galerkin's Method is a special form of a Tau Method with a weigh
ted polynomial basis. Examples of application to the numerical approxi
mation of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations, defined
on bounded and unbounded domains, are also given. (C) 1998 Elsevier S
