Reproducing kernel method to solve parabolic partial differential equations with nonlocal conditions

In this study, the parabolic partial differential equations with nonlocal conditions are solved. To this end, we use the reproducing kernel method (RKM) that is obtained from the combining fundamental concepts of the Galerkin method, and the complete system of reproducing kernel Hilbert space that was first introduced by Wang et al. who implemented RKM without Gram–Schmidt orthogonalization process. In this method, first the reproducing kernel spaces and their kernels such that satisfy the nonlocal conditions are constructed, and then the RKM without Gram–Schmidt orthogonalization process on the considered problem is implemented. Moreover, convergence theorem, error analysis theorems, and stability theorem are provided in detail. To show the high accuracy of the present method several numerical examples are solved.     

A numerical algorithm for solving a class of linear nonlocal boundary value problems

In order to solve a class of linear nonlocal boundary value problems, a new reproducing kernel space satisfying nonlocal conditions is constructed carefully. This makes it easy to solve the problems. Furthermore, the exact solutions of the problems can be expressed in series form. The numerical results demonstrate that the new method is quite accurate and efficient for solving fourth-order nonlocal boundary value problems.     

Effects of boundary conditions on pattern formation in a nonlocal prey–predator model

Effects of periodic and Neumann boundary conditions on a nonlocal prey–predator model are investigated. Two types of kernel functions with finite supports are used to characterize the nonlocal interactions. These kernel functions are modified to handle the Neumann boundary condition. Numerical techniques to find the Turing and spatial-Hopf thresholds for Neumann boundary condition are also described. For a fixed range of nonlocal interaction with a given kernel function, Turing bifurcation curves corresponding to both the boundary conditions are close to each other. The same is true for the spatial-Hopf bifurcation curves too. However, the nonlinear solutions inside the Turing domain as well as spatial-Hopf domain depend on the boundary condition. Thus, boundary conditions play important roles in a nonlocal model of prey-predator interaction.

A reproducing kernel method for solving nonlocal fractional boundary value problems

In our previous works, we proposed a reproducing kernel method for solving singular and nonsingular boundary value problems of integer order based on the reproducing kernel theory. In this letter, we shall expand the application of reproducing kernel theory to fractional differential equations and present an algorithm for solving nonlocal fractional boundary value problems. The results from numerical examples show that the present method is simple and effective.

Anti-periodic solutions for Rayleigh-type equations via the reproducing kernel Hilbert space method

In this paper, reproducing kernel theorem is employed to solve anti-periodic solutions for Rayleigh-type equations. A simple algorithm is given to obtain the approximate solutions of the equations. By comparing the approximate solution with the exact analytical solution, we find that the simple algorithm is of good accuracy and it can be also applied to some ordinary or partial differential equations with initial-boundary value conditions and nonlocal boundary value conditions.     

Error analysis of collocation method based on reproducing kernel approximation

Solving partial differential equations (PDE) with strong form collocation and nonlocal approximation functions such as orthogonal polynomials, trigonometric functions, and radial basis functions exhibits exponential convergence rates; however, it yields a full matrix and suffers from ill conditioning. In this work, we discuss a reproducing kernel collocation method, where the reproducing kernel (RK) shape functions with compact support are used as approximation functions. This approach offers algebraic convergence rate, but the method is stable like the finite element method. We provide mathematical results consisting of the optimal error estimation, upper bound of condition number, and the desirable relationship between the number of nodal points and the number of collocation points. We show that using RK shape function for collocation of strong form, the degree of polynomial basis functions has to be larger than one for convergence, which is different from the condition for weak formulation. Numerical results are also presented to validate the theoretical analysis. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 27: 554–580, 2011     

Asymptotic behavior of solutions of reaction-diffusion equations with nonlocal boundary conditions

This paper is concerned with some dynamical property of a reaction-diffusion equation with nonlocal boundary condition. Under some conditions on the kernel in the boundary condition and suitable conditions on the reaction function, the asymptotic behavior of the time-dependent solution is characterized in relation to a finite or an infinite set of constant steady-state solutions. This characterization is determined solely by the initial function and it leads to the stability and instability of the various steady-state solutions. In the case of finite constant steady-state solutions, the time-dependent solution blows up in finite time when the initial function in greater than the largest constant solution. Also discussed is the decay property of the solution when the kernel function in the boundary condition prossesses alternating sign in its domain.     

Transcendental Bernstein series for solving reaction–diffusion equations with nonlocal boundary conditions through the optimization technique

In this paper, we apply transcendental Bernstein series (TBS) for solving reaction–diffusion equations with nonlocal boundary conditions which is the novel approximation tool. To carry out the method, we firstly expand the solution of the system in the term of TBS through the operational matrix scheme. To determine the unknown free coefficients and control parameters appeared in TBS expansion, we define an optimization problem which combines the reaction–diffusion equation with its nonlocal boundary conditions. Then we use the Lagrange multipliers technique for converting the problem under study into a system of algebraic equations. High accuracy and simplicity in reducing the integral boundary conditions are some privileges of the proposed scheme. We emphasize that Bernstein polynomials is the particular case of transcendental Bernstein series. Theoretical discussion about convergence confirms the reliability of the proposed method. Some test problems are chosen to investigate the applicability and computational efficiency. The experimental results confirm that the obtained results are in good agreement with the exact solutions with high rate of convergence.

Stability and asymptotic behaviour in a reaction–diffusion system

This paper is concerned with some qualitative analysis for a coupled system of five reaction–diffusion equations which arises from a physiology model. The uniform boundedness of the time-dependent solution is obtained under various boundary conditions. Sufficient conditions are also given to ensure the asymptotic stability of the non-negative steady-state solutions under Dirichlet or Robin boundary condition for each component. Under homogeneous Neumann boundary condition for some components the time-dependent solution is proven to converge to a constant steady state determined by the initial functions.     

Polynomial spectral collocation method for space fractional advection–diffusion equation

This article discusses the spectral collocation method for numerically solving nonlocal problems: one‐dimensional space fractional advection–diffusion equation; and two‐dimensional linear/nonlinear space fractional advection–diffusion equation. The differentiation matrixes of the left and right Riemann–Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives are derived for any collocation points within any given bounded interval. Several numerical examples with different boundary conditions are computed to verify the efficiency of the numerical schemes and confirm the exponential convergence; the physical simulations for Lévy–Feller advection–diffusion equation and space fractional Fokker–Planck equation with initial δ‐peak and reflecting boundary conditions are performed; and the eigenvalue distributions of the iterative matrix for a variety of systems are displayed to illustrate the stabilities of the numerical schemes in more general cases. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Global existence and blowup of a nonlocal problem in space with free boundary

This paper concerns a double fronts free boundary problem for the reaction–diffusion equation with a nonlocal nonlinear reaction term in space. For such a problem, we mainly study the blowup property and global existence of the solutions. Our results show that if the initial value is sufficiently large, then the blowup occurs, while the global fast solution exists for a sufficiently small initial data, and the intermediate case with a suitably large initial data gives the existence of the global slow solution.
