A new exponential Chebyshev operational matrix of derivatives for solving high-order ordinary differential equations in unbounded domains
The purpose of this paper is to investigate a new exponential Chebyshev (EC) operational matrix of derivatives. The new operational matrix of derivatives of the EC functions is derived and introduced for solving high-order linear ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients in unbounded domain using the collocation method. This method transforms the given differential equation and conditions to matrix equation with unknown EC coefficients. These matrices together with the collocation method are utilized to reduce the solution of high-order ordinary differential equations to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. The solution is obtained in terms of EC functions. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the method. The obtained numerical results are compared with others existing methods and the exact solution where it shown to be very attractive with good accuracy.
