Talk:Collocation method

Big cleanup needed

This article needs to be rewritten without ugly mathematica code and without those big font images. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see the original author is still working on it and I hope he will continue to do so! I would abandon the Mathematica code and focus on the technique. JJL 14:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. The author stated on the mathematics reference desk: "I think this is my only article, Collocation polynomial,so i am not interested to become spesialist in TEX or mathmarkup. Now i am going to holiday. If someone has time and possibility to cleanup the article, please do." Effectively, we're supposed to clean up this mess. In its current state I don't think anything other than perhaps the first paragraph is worth keeping. --KSmrq^T 06:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I don't understand the first formula (poly = \sum …). I think only the first line is worth keeping. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 08:43, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Example correct?

It seems to me that the coefficients ( $\beta$ , $\gamma$ ) are not calculated correctly. What is more, the function $p(t_{0}+h)$ seems to be wrong too. Or am I wrong? 84.56.179.17 21:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, I forgot to mention that I shifted the polynomial p. Hopefully, it's fixed now. Thanks very much, both for your correction and for the comment above. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 10:42, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
