Asymptotic properties of collocation projection norms (Q753439)

This paper extends the analysis of collocation methods for the solution of linear ordinary differential equations. It is shown that the norms of the piecewise collocation projection and the piecewise interpolating projection are asymptotically the same. A similar result is shown to hold in the global case if the collocation points are chosen as Chebyshev zeros and if the coefficients of the differential operator are restricted to be polynomials of certain degrees.
