A note on the solution of a class of two-point boundary value problems involving a mixed boundary condition

In this note, we consider a class of two-point boundary value problems involving a pa- rameter in one of the boundary conditions. We shall show that if we know the solution corresponding to a particular value of the parameter, then the solution for any other value of the parameter can be obtained by a simple algebraic method.     

Numerical solution of a class of random boundary value problems

This paper deals with the nonlinear two point boundary value problem y″ = f(x, y, y′, R₁,…, R_n), x₀ < x < x_fS₁y(x₀) + S₂y′(x₀) = S₃, S₄y(x_f) + S₅y′(x_f) = S₆ where R₁,…, R_n, S₁,…, S₆ are bounded continuous random variables. An approximate probability distribution function for y(x) is constructed by numerical integration of a set of related deterministic problems. Two distinct methods are described, and in each case convergence of the approximate distribution function to the actual distribution function is established. Primary attention is placed on problems with two random variables, but various generalizations are noted. As an example, a nonlinear one-dimensional heat conduction problem containing one or two random variables is studied in some detail.

A solution to boundary value problems with over-specified boundary conditions

Summary The problem of determining the unknown terms of a differential equation from over-specified boundary conditions is solved by means of the potential theory. The boundary values of compatibility functions adapting the differential equations to the prescribed boundary conditions are introduced as explicit unknowns in the system of linear equations. Two applications to fluid mechanics are presented, which demonstrate the efficiency of the method.

Résumé Le problème de déterminer les termes inconnus d'une équation différentielle, à partir de conditions aux limites surdéterminées, est résolu au moyen de la théorie des potentiels. Les valeurs aux limites de fonctions de compatibilité adaptant les équations différentielles aux conditions aux limites prescrites sont introduites, comme inconnues explicites, dans le système des équations intégrales linéaires. Deux applications à la mécanique des fluides sont présentées, qui démontrent l'efficacité de la méthode.

     

A note on the polynomial solution of a class of dual integral equations arising in mixed boundary value problems of elasticity

Summary The present paper is concerned with finding an effective polynomial solution to a class of dual integral equations which arise in many mixed boundary value problems in the theory of elasticity. The dual integral equations are first transformed into a Fredholm integration equation of the second kind via an auxiliary function, which is next reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations by representing the unknown auxiliary function in the form of an infinite series of Jacobi polynomials. The approximate solution of this infinite system of equations can be obtained by a suitable truncation. It is shown that the unknown function involving the dual integral equations can also be expressed in the form of an infinite series of Jacobi polynomials with the same expansion coefficients with no numerical integration involved. The main advantage of the present approach is that the solution of the dual integral equations thus obtained is numerically more stable than that obtained by reducing themdirectly into an infinite system of equations, insofar as the expansion coefficients are determined essentially by solving asecond kind integral equation.     

Finite difference methods for a class of two-point boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions

We discuss the construction of three-point finite difference aproximations for the class of two-point boundary value problems: [p(x)y′]′ = f(x, y), α₀y(a) - α₁y′(a) = A, β₀y(b) + β₁y′(b) = B.We first establish an identity from which general three-point finite difference approximations of various orders can be obtained. We then consider in detail obtaining fourth-order methods based on three evaluations of f. We obtain a family of fourth-order discretizations for the differential equations; appropriate discretizations for the boundary conditions are also obtained for use with fourth-order methods. We select the free parameters available in this discretizations which lead to a “simplest” fourth-order method. This method is described and its convergence is established; numerical examples are given to illustrate this new fourth-order method.     

A new method for solving a class of mixed boundary value problems with singular coefficient

In [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] and [7], it is very difficult to deal with initial boundary value conditions. In this paper, we give a new method to deal with boundary value conditions, the main contribution of this paper is to put mixed boundary value conditions into reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The numerical examples are studied to demonstrate the accuracy of the present method. Results obtained by the method indicate the method is simple and effective.

A multiplicity result for a class of nonlinear boundary value problems of the ambrosetti-prodi type

Summary In this paper we prove the existence of at least two solutions for a nonlinear elliptic boundary value problem of the Ambrosetti-Prodi type in the case when there exist two suitable supersolutions. This result follows from an abstract theorem of existence of multiple solutions which is a variant of a result due to Ambrosetti and Hess, [5].

Riassunto In questo lavoro si prova che per un problema al contorno del tipo Ambrosetti-Prodi esistono almeno due soluzioni se esistono due opportune soprasoluzioni. Tale risultato discende da un teorema astratto di esistenza di soluzioni multiple che é una variante di un risultato di Ambrosetti ed Hess, [5].

A new numerical approach for solving a class of singular two-point boundary value problems

In this paper, we consider the following class of singular two-point boundary value problem posed on the interval x ?? (0, 1]

$$\begin{array}{@{}rcl@{}} (g(x)y^{\prime})^{\prime}=g(x)f(x,y),\\ y^{\prime}(0)=0,\mu y(1)+\sigma y^{\prime}(1)=B. \end{array} $$

A recursive scheme is developed, and its convergence properties are studied. Further, the error estimation of the method is discussed. The proposed scheme is based on the integral equation formalism and optimal homotopy analysis method in which a recursive scheme is established without any undetermined coefficients. The original differential equation is transformed into an equivalent integral equation to remove the singularity. The integral equation is then made free of undetermined coefficients by imposing the boundary conditions on it. Finally, the integral equation without any undetermined coefficients is efficiently treated by using optimal homotopy analysis method for finding the numerical solution. The optimal control-convergence parameter involved in the components of the series solution is obtained by minimizing the squared residual error equation. The present method is applied to obtain numerical solution of singular boundary value problems arising in various physical models, and numerical results show the advantages of our method over the existing methods.     

A shape optimization approach for a class of free boundary problems of Bernoulli type

We are interested in an optimal shape design formulation for a class of free boundary problems of Bernoulli type. We show the existence of the optimal solution of this problem by proving continuity of the solution of the state problem with respect to the domain. The main tools in establishing such a continuity are a result concerning uniform continuity of the trace operator with respect to the domain and a recent result on the uniform Poincaré inequality for variable domains.     

Numerical solution of a class of nonlinear boundary value problems for analytic functions

Summary We analyse a numerical method for solving a nonlinear parameter-dependent boundary value problem for an analytic function on an annulus. The analytic function to be determined is expanded into its Laurent series. For the expansion coefficients we obtain an operator equation exhibiting bifurcation from a simple eigenvalue. We introduce a Galerkin approximation and analyse its convergence. A prominent problem falling into the class treated here is the computation of gravity waves of permanent type in a fluid. We present numerical examples for this case.

Als numerisches Beispiel untersuchen wir das Problem permanenter Wasserwellen unter dem Einfluß der Schwerkraft.

An analytic shooting-like approach for the solution of nonlinear boundary value problems

In this paper a novel approach is presented for an analytic approximate solution of nonlinear differential equations with boundary conditions. By converting the nonlinear problem into an initial value form, a shooting-like procedure is introduced based on the powerful homotopy analysis technique. The proposed methodology is shown to work adequately for solving single or multiple solutions of some sample nonlinear boundary value problems.
