Analysis of a finite-difference scheme for a singularly perturbed problem with two small parameters

We study a model linear convection-diffusion-reaction problem where both the diffusion term and the convection term are multiplied by small parameters ε_d and ε_c, respectively. Depending on the size of the parameters the solution of the problem may exhibit exponential layers at both end points of the domain. Sharp bounds for the derivatives of the solution are derived using a barrier-function technique. These bounds are applied in the analysis of a simple upwind-difference scheme on Shishkin meshes. This method is established to be almost first-order convergent, independently of the parameters ε_d and ε_c.     

Geometric mesh FDM for self-adjoint singular perturbation boundary value problems

A numerical method based on finite difference method with variable mesh is given for second order singularly perturbed self-adjoint two point boundary value problems. The original problem is reduced to its normal form and the reduced problem is solved by FDM taking variable mesh(geometric mesh). The maximum absolute errors max_i|y(x_i)-y_i|, for different values of parameter , number of points N, and the mesh ratio r, for three examples have been given in tables to support the efficiency of the method.

Multiple solutions of some boundary value problems with parameters

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for the following second-order Dirichlet nonlinear boundary value problem with odd order derivative: −u^″(t)+au^′(t)+bu(t)=f(t,u(t)) for all t∈[0,1] with u(0)=u(1)=0, where a,b∈R¹, f∈C¹([0,1]×R¹,R¹). By using the Morse theory, we impose certain conditions on f which are able to guarantee that the problem has at least one nontrivial solution, two nontrivial solutions and infinitely many solutions, separately.

The quasilinearization method for boundary value problems on time scales

In this paper, we apply the method of quasilinearization to a family of boundary value problems for second order dynamic equations −y^Δ∇+q(t)y=H(t,y) on time scales. The results include a variety of possible cases when H is either convex or a splitting of convex and concave parts and whether lower and upper solutions are of natural form or of natural coupled form.

The singular perturbation of boundary value problem for third-order nonlinear vector integro-differential equation and its application

In this paper, the singular perturbation of boundary value problem to a class of third-order nonlinear vector integro-differential equation is studied. Using the method of differential inequalities, under certain conditions, the existence of perturbed solution is proved, the uniformly valid asymptotic expansion for arbitrary order and the estimation of remainder term are given. Finally, the results are applied to study singularly perturbed boundary value problem to a nonlinear vector fourth-order differential equation. The existence of solution and its asymptotic estimation can be obtained conveniently.     

Variable step size initial value algorithm for singular perturbation problems using locally exact integration

We consider quasilinear singular perturbation problems of the form εy^″+p(x)y^′+q(x,y)=h(x),x[0,1];y(0)=,y(1)=β with a boundary layer at one end point. The original problem is reduced to an asymptotically equivalent linear first order initial-value problem (IVP). Then, a variable step size initial value algorithm is applied to solve this (IVP). The algorithm is based on the locally exact integration of quadratic linearized problem coefficients on a non-uniform mesh. Two term-recurrence relation with controlled step size is obtained. Several problems are solved to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the algorithm. It is observed that the present method approximates the exact solution very well.     

Application of orthogonal collocation on finite elements for solving non-linear boundary value problems

A simple, convenient and easy approach to solve non-linear boundary value problems (BVP) using orthogonal collocation on finite elements (OCFE) is presented. The algorithm is the conjunction of finite element method (FEM) and orthogonal collocation method (OCM). The stability of the numerical results is checked by a novel algorithm which not only justifies the stability of the results but also checks the convergence of the method. The method is applied to the non-symmetric boundary value problems having Dirichlet’s and mixed Robbin’s boundary conditions.

Existence of positive solutions for singular boundary value problem on time scales

This paper deals with a class of boundary value problem of singular differential equations on time scales. The conditions we used here differ from those in the majority of papers as we know. An existence theorem of positive solutions is established by using the Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem and an example is given to illustrate it.     

Solving two-point boundary value problems using combined homotopy perturbation method and Green’s function method

In this paper, an algorithm is proposed for the solution of second-order boundary value problems with two-point boundary conditions. The Green’s function method is applied first to transform the ordinary differential equation into an equivalent integral one, which has already satisfied the boundary conditions. And then, the homotopy perturbation method is used to the resulting equation to construct the numerical solution for such problems. Numerical examples demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of the algorithm developed, it is quite accurate and readily implemented for both linear and nonlinear differential equations with homogeneous and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. Furthermore, the lower order approximation is of higher accuracy for most cases. Some other extended applications of this algorithm are also exhibited.
