Abstract
This study shows how the Theory of Functional Connections (TFC) allows us to obtain fast and highly accurate solutions to linear ODEs involving integrals. Integrals can be constraints and/or terms of the differential equations (e.g., ordinary integro-differential equations). This study first summarizes TFC, a mathematical procedure to obtain constrained expressions. These are functionals representing all functions satisfying a set of linear constraints. These functionals contain a free function, g(x), representing the unknown function to optimize. Two numerical approaches are shown to numerically estimate g(x). The first models g(x) as a linear combination of a set of basis functions, such as Chebyshev or Legendre orthogonal polynomials, while the second models g(x) as a neural network. Meaningful problems are provided. In all numerical problems, the proposed method produces very fast and accurate solutions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
