New initial-value method for singularly perturbed boundary-value problems

An initial-value method is given for second-order singularly perturbed boundary-value problems with a boundary layer at one endpoint. The idea is to replace the original two-point boundary value problem by two suitable initial-value problems. The method is very easy to use and to implement. Nontrivial text problems are used to show the feasibility of the given method, its versatility, and its performance in solving linear and nonlinear singularly perturbed problems.This work was supported in part by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Contract No. 86.02108.01, and in part by the Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione.     

A subdivision collocation method for solving two point boundary value problems of order three

In this paper, we propose a method for the numerical solution of self adjoint singularly perturbed third order boundary value problems in which the highest order derivative is multiplied by a small parameter $\varepsilon$. In this method, first we introduce the derivatives of two scale relations satisfied by the subdivision schemes. After that we use these derivatives to construct the subdivision collocation method for the numerical solution of singularly perturbed boundary value problems. Convergence of the subdivision collocation method is also discussed. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed method.

We use B-spline collocation method, which leads to a tridiagonal linear system. The accuracy of the proposed method is demonstrated by test problems. The numerical result is found in good agreement with exact solution.     

Cubic spline solution of singularly perturbed boundary value problems with significant first derivatives

We develop a numerical technique for a class of singularly perturbed two-point singular boundary value problems on an uniform mesh using polynomial cubic spline. The scheme derived in this paper is second-order accurate. The resulting linear system of equations has been solved by using a tri-diagonal solver. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the proposed method and to compared with the methods in [R.K.

An exponentially fitted special second-order finite difference method for solving singular perturbation problems

An exponentially fitted special second-order finite difference method is presented for solving singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems with the boundary layer at one end (left or right) point. A fitting factor is introduced in a tri-diagonal finite difference scheme and is obtained from the theory of singular perturbations. Thomas Algorithm is used to solve the system and its stability is investigated. To demonstrate the applicability of the method, we have solved several linear and non-linear problems. From the results, it is observed that the present method approximates the exact solution very well.     

Reproducing kernel method for singularly perturbed turning point problems having twin boundary layers

A numerical method is proposed for solving singularly perturbed turning point problems exhibiting twin boundary layers based on the reproducing kernel method (RKM). The original problem is reduced to two boundary layers problems and a regular domain problem. The regular domain problem is solved by using the RKM. Two boundary layers problems are treated by combining the method of stretching variable and the RKM. The boundary conditions at transition points are obtained by using the continuity of the approximate solution and its first derivatives at these points. Two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the present method. The results compared with other methods show that the present method can provide very accurate approximate solutions.     

Numerical solution of singular perturbation problems by a terminal boundary-value technique

In this paper, we present a new approach for numerically solving linear singularly perturbed two-point boundary-value problems in ordinary differential equations with a boundary layer on the left end of the interval. The original problem is divided into outer and inner region problems. A terminal boundary condition in implicit form is introduced. Then, the outer region problem is solved as a two-point boundary-value problem (TPBVP), and an explicit terminal boundary condition is obtained. In turn, the inner region problem is modified and solved as a TPBVP using the explicit terminal boundary condition. The proposed method is iterative on the terminal point of the inner region. Three numerical examples have been solved to demonstrate the applicability of the method.     

A novel method for solving a class of singularly perturbed boundary value problems based on reproducing kernel method

In this paper, a novel method is presented for solving a class of singularly perturbed boundary value problems. Firstly the original problem is reformulated as a new boundary value problem whose solution does not change rapidly via a proper transformation; then the reproducing kernel method is employed to solve the boundary value new problem. Numerical results show that the present method can provide very accurate analytical approximate solutions.     

An Initial Value Technique for Singularly Perturbed Convection–Diffusion Problems with a Negative Shift

In this paper, a numerical method named as Initial Value Technique (IVT) is suggested to solve the singularly perturbed boundary value problem for the second order ordinary differential equations of convection–diffusion type with a delay (negative shift). In this technique, the original problem of solving the second order equation is reduced to solving two first order differential equations, one of which is singularly perturbed without delay and other one is regular with a delay term. The singularly perturbed problem is solved by the second order hybrid finite difference scheme, whereas the delay problem is solved by the fourth order Runge–Kutta method with Hermite interpolation. An error estimate is derived by using the supremum norm. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.     

Recurrence Method for Solving Singularly Perturbed Boundary Value Problems

We base on Taylor series expansions to construct the numerical method for solving singularly perturbed boundary value problems. We use the trapezoid method to approximate the integrals and obtain three‐term recurrence relationship. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated by test problems. The numerical result is found in a good agreement with exact solution.     

An asymptotic initial value method for second order singular perturbation problems of convection-diffusion type with a discontinuous source term

In this paper a numerical method is presented to solve singularly perturbed two points boundary value problems for second order ordinary differential equations consisting a discontinuous source term. First, in this method, an asymptotic expansion approximation of the solution of the boundary value problem is constructed using the basic ideas of a well known perturbation method WKB. Then some initial value problems and terminal value problems are constructed such that their solutions are the terms of this asymptotic expansion. These initial value problems are happened to be singularly perturbed problems and therefore fitted mesh method (Shishkin mesh) are used to solve these problems. Necessary error estimates are derived and examples provided to illustrate the method.     

Piecewise reproducing kernel method for singularly perturbed delay initial value problems

A direct application of the reproducing kernel method presented in the previous works cannot yield accurate approximate solutions for singularly perturbed delay differential equations. In this letter, we construct a new numerical method called piecewise reproducing kernel method for singularly perturbed delay initial value problems. Numerical results show that the present method does not share the drawback of standard reproducing kernel method and is an effective method for the considered singularly perturbed delay initial value problems.

Initial-value methods for second-order singularly perturbed boundary-value problems

In this paper, we present a numerical method for solving linear and nonlinear second-order singularly perturbed boundary-value-problems. For linear problems, the method comes from the well-known WKB method. The required approximate solution is obtained by solving the reduced problem and one or two suitable initial-value problems, directly deduced from the given problem. For nonlinear problems, the quasilinearization method is applied. Numerical results are given showing the accuracy and feasibility of the proposed method.This work was supported in part by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Contract No. 86.02108.01 and Progetto Finalizzatto Sistemi Informatia e Calcolo Paralello, Sottoprogetto 1), and in part by the Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione, Rome, Italy.

A high order HODIE finite difference scheme for 1D parabolic singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problems

This paper deals with the numerical approximation of the solution of 1D parabolic singularly perturbed problems of reaction-diffusion type. The numerical method combines the standard implicit Euler method on a uniform mesh to discretize in time and a HODIE compact fourth order finite difference scheme to discretize in space, which is defined on a priori special meshes condensing the grid points in the boundary layer regions. The method is uniformly convergent having first order in time and almost fourth order in space. The analysis of the uniform convergence is made in two steps, splitting the contribution to the error from the time and the space discretization. Although this idea has been previously used to prove the uniform convergence for parabolic singularly perturbed problems, here the proof is based on a new study of the asymptotic behavior of the exact solution of the semidiscrete problems obtained after the time discretization by using the Euler method. Some numerical results are given corroborating in practice the theoretical results.     

A novel method for a class of parameterized singularly perturbed boundary value problems

In this paper a novel approach is presented for solving parameterized singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems with a boundary layer. By the boundary layer correction technique, the original problem is converted into two non-singularly perturbed problems which can be solved using traditional numerical methods, such as Runge–Kutta methods. Several non-linear problems are solved to demonstrate the applicability of the method. Numerical experiments indicate the high accuracy and the efficiency of the new method.
