TL;DR: The differential quadrature method (DQM) as discussed by the authors is a numerical solution technique for initial and/or boundary problems, which was developed by the late Richard Bellman and his associates in the early 70s.
Abstract: The differential quadrature method is a numerical solution technique for initial and/or boundary problems. It was developed by the late Richard Bellman and his associates in the early 70s and, since then, the technique has been successfully employed in a variety of problems in engineering and physical sciences. The method has been projected by its proponents as a potential alternative to the conventional numerical solution techniques such as the finite difference and finite element methods. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the differential quadrature method, which should be of general interest to the computational mechanics community.

TL;DR: The usage of extended Gauss (Patterson) quadrature formulas as the one‐dimensional basis of the construction is suggested and their superiority in comparison to previously used sparse grid approaches based on the trapezoidal, Clenshaw–Curtis and Gauss rules is shown.
Abstract: We present new and review existing algorithms for the numerical integration of multivariate functions defined over d-dimensional cubes using several variants of the sparse grid method first introduced by Smolyak [49] In this approach, multivariate quadrature formulas are constructed using combinations of tensor products of suitable one-dimensional formulas The computing cost is almost independent of the dimension of the problem if the function under consideration has bounded mixed derivatives We suggest the usage of extended Gauss (Patterson) quadrature formulas as the one‐dimensional basis of the construction and show their superiority in comparison to previously used sparse grid approaches based on the trapezoidal, Clenshaw–Curtis and Gauss rules in several numerical experiments and applications For the computation of path integrals further improvements can be obtained by combining generalized Smolyak quadrature with the Brownian bridge construction

TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out that this is true only of standard quadrature techniques such as trapezoidal integration or its improved variants; Gaussian quadratures, on the other hand, is extremely efficient and is well within the bounds of computational feasibility on modern computers.
Abstract: A PROBLEM OF ESTIMATION that has long confronted many economists is the difficulty of estimating the parameters of equations with limited dependent variables on cross-section time-series (i.e., panel) data. While there are widely available packaged computer programs for estimating either (a) cross-section probit and Tobit models or (b) simple permanent-transitory, random-effects panel models with continuous dependent variables, there are no available computationally feasible methods of combining these two models. This is because the likelihood function that arises in such a combined model contains multivariate normal integrals whose evaluation is quite difficult, if not impossible, with conventional approximation methods. There is a widespread feeling among those working in the area that one possible method of evaluation, the use of quadrature techniques, is in principle possible but is in practice computationally too burdensome to consider (e.g., Albright et al. [2, p. 13]; Hausman and Wise [6, p. 12]). In this note we point out that this is true only of standard quadrature techniques such as trapezoidal integration or its improved variants; Gaussian quadrature, on the other hand, is extremely efficient and is well within the bounds of computational feasibility on modern computers. In what follows, we state the nature of the integrals that need to be evaluated, provide a brief exposition of Gaussian quadrature, and provide a numerical illustration of its use in

TL;DR: In this article, operational quadrature rules are applied to problems in numerical integration and the numerical solution of integral equations: singular integrals (power and logarithmic singularities, finite part integrals), multiple timescale convolution, Volterra integral equations, Wiener-Hopf integral equations.
Abstract: Operational quadrature rules are applied to problems in numerical integration and the numerical solution of integral equations: singular integrals (power and logarithmic singularities, finite part integrals), multiple timescale convolution, Volterra integral equations, Wiener-Hopf integral equations. Frequency domain conditions, which determine, the stability of such equations, can be carried over to the discretization.
