Some Properties of DQ Weighting Coefficient Matrices

  • Chang Shu

Abstract

It has been shown in Chapters 2 and 3 that the DQ approximation for a derivative of any order has a similar form. The difference in the approximation for the respective derivatives lies only in the weighting coefficients. Consider a one-dimensional problem. It is supposed that there are N grid points in the whole domain with coordinates x1, x2, …, xN. At any location xi, the nth order derivative of a function u(x,t) with respect to x can be approximated by the DQ method as
$$ u_x^{\left( n \right)}\left( {{x_i},t} \right) = \sum\limits_{j = 1}^N {w_{ij}^{\left( n \right)}} u\left( {{x_j},t} \right), $$
