VARIABLE MESH FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR SELF-ADJOINT SINGULARLY PERTURBED TWO-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

A numerical method based on finite difference method with variable mesh is given for self-adjoint singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems. To obtain parameter- uniform convergence, a variable mesh is constructed, which is dense in the boundary layer region and coarse in the outer region. The uniform convergence analysis of the method is discussed. The original problem is reduced to its normal form and the reduced problem is solved by finite difference method taking variable mesh. To support the efficiency of the method, several numerical examples have been considered.     

Taylor‐Galerkin B‐spline finite element method for the one‐dimensional advection‐diffusion equation

The advection‐diffusion equation has a long history as a benchmark for numerical methods. Taylor‐Galerkin methods are used together with the type of splines known as B‐splines to construct the approximation functions over the finite elements for the solution of time‐dependent advection‐diffusion problems. If advection dominates over diffusion, the numerical solution is difficult especially if boundary layers are to be resolved. Known test problems have been studied to demonstrate the accuracy of the method. Numerical results show the behavior of the method with emphasis on treatment of boundary conditions. Taylor‐Galerkin methods have been constructed by using both linear and quadratic B‐spline shape functions. Results shown by the method are found to be in good agreement with the exact solution. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2010     

Propagation of waves in a micropolar elastic layer with stretch immersed in an infinite liquid

The effect of liquid on the propagation of waves in a micropolar elastic layer with stretch has been investigated. The frequency and wave velocity equations for symmetric and antisymmetric vibrations are derived. Propagation of monochromatic waves in a micropolar elastic layer with stretch is discussed. Results of this analysis reduce to those without stretch.

Cone complementarity problems with finite solution sets

We introduce the notion of a complementary cone and a nondegenerate linear transformation and characterize the finiteness of the solution set of a linear complementarity problem over a closed convex cone in a finite dimensional real inner product space. In addition to the above, other geometrical properties of complementary cones have been explored.     

Fast elliptic solvers—an overview

The purpose of this paper is to present a brief survey of fast direct methods for solving elliptic boundary-value problems. The methods reviewed are based on Fourier analysis, block reduction techniques, and marching algorithms. First, the Poisson equation with Dirichlet and mixed boundary conditions are considered. Then we go to more general elliptic problems and irregular regions.     

Symmetric marching technique for the poisson equation. I. Dirichlet boundary conditions

The symmetric marching technique has been developed to solve the Poisson equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The method has been combined with a mesh refinement technique, which is used as an appropriate interpolation scheme to obtain a solution of the problem on finer grids. The effectiveness of the method has been demonstrated by solving some test examples.

The -method, weak Lefschetz theorems, and the topology of Kähler manifolds

A new approach to Nori's weak Lefschetz theorem is described. The new approach, which involves the -method, avoids moving arguments and gives much stronger results. In particular, it is proved that if and are connected smooth projective varieties of positive dimension and is a holomorphic immersion with ample normal bundle, then the image of in is of finite index. This result is obtained as a consequence of a direct generalization of Nori's theorem. The second part concerns a new approach to the theorem of Burns which states that a quotient of the unit ball in () by a discrete group of automorphisms which has a strongly pseudoconvex boundary component has only finitely many ends. The following generalization is obtained. If a complete Hermitian manifold of dimension has a strongly pseudoconvex end and for some positive constant , then, away from , has finite volume.
