催化反应中的一类奇摄动边值问题

§1. Introduction We are concered with the singularly perturbed boundary value problemε2y″=y3,(1)y(0)=1, y(1)=2,(2)where ε＞0 is a positive small parameter. This problem arises as models for certain catalytic reactions in chemical engineering. The study of that problem has been paid much attention for the boundary layers of the problem exihibit the behavior of nonexponential decay. There have been some works on this subject ［1］-［4］. In particular, Howes and Chang［1］ gave an accurate…

A Class of Singularly Perturbed Boundary Value Problems Arising from Catalytic Reactions

A class of singularly perturbed boundary value problems arising from the catalytic reactions in chemical engineering is observed. That kind of problems exhibits the behavior of nonexponentially decayed boundary layer, and hence the study of asymptotic behavior of their solutions seems more diffcult. The uniformly valid asymptotic expansions of solutions as well as their derivatives are-given via the upper and lower solutions method, and those estimates seem quite accurate.
