Abstract
A direct method for solving variational problems using Legendre wavelets is presented. An operational matrix of integration is first introduced and is utilized to reduce a variational problem to the solution of algebraic equa tions. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and a pplicability of the technique. (C) 2000 IMACS. Published by Elsevier Scienc e B.V. All rights reserved.
