Abstract: In Suzuki (1998) [7] Suzuki gave a classification of association schemes with multiple Q-polynomial structures, allowing for one exceptional case which has five classes. In this paper, we rule out the existence of this case. Hence Suzukiʼs theorem mirrors exactly the well-known counterpart for association schemes with multiple P-polynomial structures, a result due to Eiichi Bannai and Etsuko Bannai in 1980.

Abstract: This paper deals with the numerical solution of classes of fractional convection–diffusion equations with variable coefficients. The fractional derivatives are described based on the Caputo sense. Our approach is based on the collocation techniques. The method consists of reducing the problem to the solution of linear algebraic equations by expanding the required approximate solution as the elements of shifted Legendre polynomials in time and the Sinc functions in space with unknown coefficients. The properties of Sinc functions and shifted Legendre polynomials are then utilized to evaluate the unknown coefficients. Several examples are given and the numerical results are shown to demonstrate the efficiency of the newly proposed method. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
