A Quadrature-Based Approach to Improving the Collocation Method.
The operator , , , is shown to be essentially self-adjoint, positive definite with a compact resolvent. The conditions on (in fact, on a general symmetric operator) are given so as to justify the application of the Fourier method for solving the problems of the types and , respectively.
In this paper we present a unified approach to obtain integral representation formulas for describing the propagation of bending waves in infinite plates. The general anisotropic case is included and both new and well-known formulas are obtained in special cases (e.g. the classical Boussinesq formula). The formulas we have derived have been compared with experimental data and the coincidence is very good in all cases.
We construct Almansi decompositions for a class of differential operators, which include powers of the classical Laplace operator, heat operator, and wave operator. The decomposition is given in a constructive way.
