Adaptive multiquadric collocation for boundary layer problems

An adaptive collocation method based upon radial basis functions is presented for the solution of singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems. Using a multiquadric integral formulation, the second derivative of the solution is approximated by multiquadric radial basis functions. This approach is combined with a coordinate stretching technique. The required variable transformation is accomplished by a conformal mapping, an iterated sine-transformation. A new error indicator function accurately captures the regions of the interval with insufficient resolution. This indicator is used to adaptively add data centres and collocation points. The method resolves extremely thin layers accurately with fairly few basis functions. The proposed adaptive scheme is very robust, and reaches high accuracy even when parameters in our coordinate stretching technique are not chosen optimally. The effectiveness of our new method is demonstrated on two examples with boundary layers, and one example featuring an interior layer. It is shown in detail how the adaptive method refines the resolution.

A collocation method for boundary value problems

Collocation with piecewise polynomial functions is developed as a method for solving two-point boundary value problems. Convergence is shown for a general class of linear problems and a rather broad class of nonlinear problems. Some computational examples are presented to illustrate the wide applicability and efficiency of the procedure.     

Sinc collocation method with boundary treatment for two-point boundary value problems

Sinc collocation method is proven to provide an exponential convergence rate in solving linear differential equations, even in the presence of singularities. But in order to treat the derivatives on boundaries, people often relied on the finite difference method, which would be expected to limit the accuracy. The present paper develops a Sinc collocation method with boundary treatment for two-point boundary value problems. Numerical results show that the method can directly and efficiently handle the boundary derivatives.

On estimates for solutions of elliptic boundary value problems in a layer

We consider boundary value problems for elliptic operators with constant coefficients in a layer, i.e., in a domain between two parallel planes. We assume that the Lopatinskii condition and the condition of the unique solvability of an auxiliary problem for an ordinary differential operator are satisfied. We prove theorems on the solvability and smoothness of solutions in Sobolev spaces with weight of exponential type.     

Symmetric collocation methods for linear differential-algebraic boundary value problems

Summary. We present symmetric collocation methods for linear differential-algebraic boundary value problems without restrictions on the index or the structure of the differential-algebraic equation. In particular, we do not require a separation into differential and algebraic solution components. Instead, we use the splitting into differential and algebraic equations (which arises naturally by index reduction techniques) and apply Gau?-type (for the differential part) and Lobatto-type (for the algebraic part) collocation schemes to obtain a symmetric method which guarantees consistent approximations at the mesh points. Under standard assumptions, we show solvability and stability of the discrete problem and determine its order of convergence. Moreover, we show superconvergence when using the combination of Gau? and Lobatto schemes and discuss the application of interpolation to reduce the number of function evaluations. Finally, we present some numerical comparisons to show the reliability and efficiency of the new methods.

B-spline collocation for solution of two-point boundary value problems

A numerical method based on B-spline is developed to solve the general nonlinear two-point boundary value problems up to order 6. The standard formulation of sextic spline for the solution of boundary value problems leads to non-optimal approximations. In order to derive higher orders of accuracy, high order perturbations of the problem are generated and applied to construct the numerical algorithm. The error analysis and convergence properties of the method are studied via Green’s function approach. O(h⁶) global error estimates are obtained for numerical solution of these classes of problems. Numerical results are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method. Results of numerical experiments verify the theoretical behavior of the orders of convergence.     

New algebraic approaches to classical boundary layer problems

Classical non-steady boundary layer equations are fundamental nonlinear partial differential equations in the boundary layer theory of fluid dynamics. In this paper, we introduce various schemes with multiple parameter functions to solve these equations and obtain many families of new explicit exact solutions with multiple parameter functions. Moreover, symmetry transformations are used to simplify our arguments. The technique of moving frame is applied in the three-dimensional case in order to capture the rotational properties of the fluid. In particular, we obtain a family of solutions singular on any moving surface, which may be used to study turbulence. Many other solutions are analytic related to trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, which reflect various wave characteristics of the fluid. Our solutions may also help engineers to develop more effective algorithms to find physical numeric solutions to practical models.     

The Laguerre spectral method for solving Neumann boundary value problems

In this paper, we propose a Laguerre spectral method for solving Neumann boundary value problems. This approach differs from the classical spectral method in that the homogeneous boundary condition is satisfied exactly. Moreover, a tridiagonal matrix is employed, instead of the full stiffness matrix encountered in the classical variational formulation of such problems. For analyzing the numerical errors, some basic results on Laguerre approximations are established. The convergence is proved. The numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of this approach.
