KW - Modified Legendre rational approximation, The whole line, Dirac equation.
AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">A mutually orthogonal system of rational functions on the whole line is introduced. Some approximation results are established. As an example of applications, a modified Legendre rational spectral scheme is given for the Dirac equation. Its numerical solution keeps the same conservation as the genuine solution. This feature not only leads to reasonable numerical simulation of nonlinear waves, but also simplifies the analysis. The convergence of the proposed scheme is proved. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of this new approach and coincide with the analysis well.</p>
