Abstract. The Tau Method produces polynomial approximations of solutions of differential equations. The purpose of this paper is (i) to extend the recursive formulation of this method to general linear operator equations defined in a separable Hilbert space, and (ii) to develop an iterative refinement procedure which improves on the accuracy of Tau approximations. Applications to Fredholm integral equations demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
