I would not insist on demanding a geometrical meaning from Galerkin methods in general. There is a connection, but it becomes less meaningful as you extend it further and further. (In a sense, it would be better to call Galerkin methods "generalized projection methods".) To really understand the connection between collocation and Galerkin methods requires ...

If your discrete equations represent your problem properly you should have the right eigenvalues, although numerically you can get a small imaginary part when solving the eigenvalue problem. As an example, let us consider the axisymmetric case of a cylindrical well. The Schrödinger equation would be written as $$\frac{\partial^2 \psi}{\partial r^2} + \frac{... 10 The reason is that with the exception of linear problems, if you do a Fourier (or other) decomposition in time, you end up with a significant number of problems that are coupled globally in time. In other words, you have to solve lots of problems on the entire time interval concurrently. That will typically bust your computational or memory budget. The ... 5 If you know the Chebyshev expansion for f(z), why don't you formally integrate the polynomials using the recurrence relation for Chebyshev polynomials ? The Clenshaw-Curtis method is based on this approach (combined with an intelligent use of the FFT). 4 This is probably too late to help you, but here is a compact code that will do points, weights and first derivatives for Gauss, Lobatto or either Radau. function [x,w,A] = OCnonsymGLReig(n,meth) % code for nonsymmetric orthogonal collocation applications on 0 < x < 1 % n - interior points % meth = 1,2,3,4 for Gauss, Lobatto, Radau (right), ... 4 For something with a spectral flavor in time, look at deferred correction methods, starting with this paper. I would argue that they're not spectral in the usual sense of the word, but they give you a family of arbitrary-order Runge-Kutta methods, so if you think of "refining" by increasing the order (by adding more nodes), then the convergence can be ... 2 It's true that you can't eliminate y_1,y_2 to obtain something where every variable you have has appropriate boundary values. However, you can take derivatives on both sides of the first two equations to get$$y_1'' = c y_3' \\ y_2'' = c y_4' \\ y_3' = -f(y_1, y_2)y_2 \\ y_4' = f(y_1, y_2)y_1 $$and then eliminate y_3',y_4':$$ y_1'' = ...

Asking Tim Davis would be the best approach to finding out.

To my knowledge these are the same things. However, this type of thing is common. For example, the proper orthogonal decomposition also has field-specific names. Others call it principal component analysis, the Karhunen--Loeve expansion, or empirical orthogonal functions. It is also no different than an autoencoder with linear activation function. I'm sure ...

At line 473 of the source code you provided : contrl - is the actual driver of the package. This routine contains the strategy for nonlinear equation solving. This code is written in Fortran 77 so you can't take benefit from a module. That means that you probably need to create a main program from scratch, prepare the arguments to call the subroutines you ...
