Abstract
<p>This manuscript aims to provide numerical solutions for the FitzHugh–Nagumo (FH–N) problem. The suggested approximate solutions are spectral and may be achieved using the standard collocation technique. We introduce and utilize specific polynomials of the generalized Gegenbauer polynomials. These introduced polynomials have connections with Chebyshev polynomials. The polynomials' series representation, orthogonality property, and derivative expressions are among the new formulas developed for these polynomials. We transform these formulas to obtain their counterparts for the shifted polynomials, which serve as basis functions for the suggested approximate solutions. The convergence of the expansion is thoroughly examined. We provide several numerical tests and comparisons to confirm the applicability and accuracy of our proposed numerical algorithm.</p>
