Abstract: We propose a modified finite integration method (FIM) by using the Chebyshev polynomial, to construct the first order integral matrix for solving linear differential equations in one and two dimensions. The grid points for the computation are generated by the zeros of the Chebyshev polynomial of a certain degree. We implement our method with several examples arose from real-world applications. In comparison with the finite difference method and the traditional FIMs (trapezoidal and Simpson's rules), numerical computations show that our modified FIM using Chebyshev nodes require the less computational cost to achieve significant improvement in accuracy.
