Pseudospectral collocation methods for the direct transcription of optimal control problems

open access: yes, 2003
This thesis is concerned with the study of pseudospectral discretizations of optimal control problems governed by ordinary differential equations and with their application to the solution of the International Space Station (ISS) momentum dumping problem.

A Hybrid Radial Basis Function - Pseudospectral Method for Thermal Convection in a 3-D Spherical Shell

open access: yes, 2009
A novel hybrid spectral method that combines radial basis function (RBF) and Chebyshev pseudospectral (PS) methods in a “2+1” approach is presented for numerically simulating thermal convection in a 3-D spherical shell.

Angle-Resolved Structural Coloration Modeling in Morpho Wing Nanostructures With Staggered 3D Pseudospectral Time-Domain Method

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal
This work presents a three-dimensional (3D) staggered pseudospectral time-domain (PSTD) framework for modeling the structural coloration of Morpho butterfly wings. Compared with finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods, the PSTD algorithm reduces the
