Abstract (EN):
The tau method is a spectral method originally proposed by Lanczos for the solution of linear differential problems with polynomial coeficients. In this contribution we present three approches to deal with differential equations with non-polinomial functional coeficients: (i) making use of function of matrices, (ii) applying orthogonal interpolation and (iii) solving auxiliary differential problems by tau method itself. These approaches are part of the Tau Toolbox efforts for deploying a numerical library for the solution of integro-differential problems. Numerical experiments illustrate the use of all these polynomial approximations in the context of the tau method. © ECCOMAS, Portugal.
