Mixed Spectral and Pseudospectral Methods for a Nonlinear Strongly Damped Wave Equation in an Exterior Domain

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to develop the mixed spectral and pseudospectral methods for nonlinear problems outside a disc, using Fourier and generalized Laguerre functions. As an example, we consider a nonlinear strongly damped wave equation. The mixed spectral and pseudospectral schemes are proposed. The convergence is proved. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of this approach.
