    Legendre Wavelet Collocation Method With Quasilinearization Technique for Fractional Differential Equations
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) İdiz, Fatih; Tanoğlu, Gamze
    We aim to present numerical methods based on Legendre wavelets and quasilinearization technique for fractional Lane-Emden type equations and time-fractional Fisher’s equation. The Lane-Emden equation is a second order singular non-linear ordinary differential equation, which is useful for modelling many astrophysical phenomena such as the distribution of stars in star clusters and star formation in molecular clouds. The Fisher’s equation is a non-linear reaction-diffusion equation that models the spread of mutant genes in a population. We start with a brief discussion of the purpose of studying fractional differential equations. Then some practical aspects of wavelets are explained. We also give introductory definitions and properties of fractional calculus and Legendre wavelets. Using Legendre wavelets and quasilinearization technique, we derive numerical methods for fractional Lane-Emden type equations and time-fractional Fisher’s equation. Moreover, the convergence analysis of both methods is studied. Some problems are solved to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed methods. Test problems show that the proposed methods are very effective.

    Classical Time Splitting Approaches and Their Error Anlyses for Nonlinear Differential Equations
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Hacısalihoğlu, Elif; Tanoğlu, Gamze
    In this thesis, Lie - Trotter splitting, Strang - Marchuk splitting and symmetrically weighted sequential (SWS) splitting methods which are known as classical operator splitting methods are considered to find the numerical solution of the various ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs). We also presented their error analyses in order to show advantages and disadvantages of these methods. Firstly, we considered simple linear and nonlinear ODE examples to motivate for the classical operator splitting methods. Then, two numerical examples which consist of a kinetic model of phage infection and the Newell - Whitehead - Segel (NWS) equation are studied. All these examples show that the operator splitting methods are a powerful technique with respect to the accuracy and robustness.

    Operator Splitting Methhods for Differential Equations
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010) Yazıcı, Yeşim; Tanoğlu, Gamze
    In this thesis, consistency and stability analysis of the traditional operator splitting methods are studied. We concentrate on how to improve the classical operator splitting methods via Zassenhaus product formula. In our approach, acceleration of the initial conditions and weighted polynomial ideas for each cases are individually handled and relevant algorithms are obtained. A new higher order operator splitting methods are proposed by the means of Zassenhaus product formula and rederive the consistency bound for traditional operator splitting methods. For unbounded operators, consistency analysis are proved by the C0-semigroup approach. We adapted the Von-Neumann stability analysis to operator splitting methods. General approach to use Von-Neumann stability analysis are discussed for the operator splitting methods. The proposed operator splitting methods and traditional operator splitting methods are applied to various ODE and PDE problems.

    Higher Order Symplectic Methods for Separable Hamiltonian Equations Master of Science
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2010) Gündüz, Hakan; Tanoğlu, Gamze
    The higher order, geometric structure preserving numerical integrators based on the modified vector fields are used to construct discretizations of separable Hamiltonian systems. This new approach is called as modifying integrators. Modified vector fields can be used to construct high-order structure-preserving numerical integrators for both ordinary and partial differential equations. In this thesis, the modifying vector field idea is applied to Lobatto IIIA-IIIB methods for linear and nonlinear ODE problems. In addition, modified symplectic Euler method is applied to separable Hamiltonian PDEs. Stability and consistency analysis are also studied for these new higher order numerical methods. Von Neumann stability analysis is studied for linear and nonlinear PDEs by using modified symplectic Euler method. The proposed new numerical schemes were applied to the separable Hamiltonian systems.
