Wavelet Multi-Resolution Interpolation Galerkin Method for Linear Singularly Perturbed Boundary Value Problems

In this study,a wavelet multi-resolution interpolation Galerkin method(WMIGM)is proposed to solve linear singularly perturbed boundary value problems.Unlike conventional wavelet schemes,the proposed algorithm can be readily extended to special node generation techniques,such as the Shishkin node.Such a wavelet method allows a high degree of local refinement of the nodal distribution to efficiently capture localized steep gradients.All the shape functions possess the Kronecker delta property,making the imposition of boundary conditions as easy as that in the finite element method.Four numerical examples are studied to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the proposedwavelet method.The results showthat the use ofmodified Shishkin nodes can significantly reduce numerical oscillation near the boundary layer.Compared with many other methods,the proposed method possesses satisfactory accuracy and efficiency.The theoretical and numerical results demonstrate that the order of theε-uniform convergence of this wavelet method can reach 5.

A Dimension-Splitting Variational Multiscale Element-Free Galerkin Method for Three-Dimensional Singularly Perturbed Convection-Diffusion Problems

By introducing the dimensional splitting(DS)method into the multiscale interpolating element-free Galerkin(VMIEFG)method,a dimension-splitting multiscale interpolating element-free Galerkin(DS-VMIEFG)method is proposed for three-dimensional(3D)singular perturbed convection-diffusion(SPCD)problems.In the DSVMIEFG method,the 3D problem is decomposed into a series of 2D problems by the DS method,and the discrete equations on the 2D splitting surface are obtained by the VMIEFG method.The improved interpolation-type moving least squares(IIMLS)method is used to construct shape functions in the weak form and to combine 2D discrete equations into a global system of discrete equations for the three-dimensional SPCD problems.The solved numerical example verifies the effectiveness of the method in this paper for the 3D SPCD problems.The numerical solution will gradually converge to the analytical solution with the increase in the number of nodes.For extremely small singular diffusion coefficients,the numerical solution will avoid numerical oscillation and has high computational stability.

MULTIPLE POSITIVE SOLUTIONS OF SINGULAR THIRD-ORDER PERIODIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

This paper deals with the singular nonlinear third-order periodic boundary value problem u'' + p(3)u = f (t, u), 0 less than or equal to t less than or equal to 2pi, with u((i)) (0) = u((i)) (2pi), i = 0, 1, 2, where p is an element of (Graphics) and f is singular at t = 0, t = 1 and u = 0. Under suitable weaker conditions than those of [1], it is proved by constructing a special cone in C[0, 2pi] and employing the fixed point index theory that the problem has at least one or at least two positive solutions.

Multiple positive solutions for a class of nonlinear four-point boundary value problem with p-Laplacian

This paper deals with the existence of multiple positive solutions for a class of nonlinear singular four-point boundary value problem with p-Laplacian：{（φ（u′））′＋a（t）f（u（t））=0, 0〈t〈1, αφ（u（0））-βφ（u′（ξ））=0,γφ（u（1））＋δφ（u′（η））0,where φ（x） = ｜x｜^p-2x,p 〉 1, a（t） may be singular at t = 0 and/or t = 1. By applying Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem and Schauder fixed point theorem, the sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple （at least three） positive solutions to the above four-point boundary value problem are provided. An example to illustrate the importance of the results obtained is also given.

Effects of displacement boundary conditions on thermal deformation in thermal stress problems

Most computational structural engineers are paying more attention to applying loads rather than to DBCs （Displacement Boundary Conditions） because most static stable mechanical structures are working under already prescribed displacement boundary conditions. In all of the computational analysis of solving a system of algebraic equations, such as FEM （Finite Element Method）, three translational and three rotational degrees of freedom （DOF） should be constrained （by applying DBCs） before solving the system of algebraic equation in order to prevent rigid body motions of the analysis results （singular problem）. However, it is very difficult for an inexperienced engineer or designer to apply proper DBCs in the case of thermal stress analysis where no prescribed DBCs or constraints exist, for example in water quenching for heat treatment. Moreover, improper DBCs cause incorrect solutions in thermal stress analysis, such as stress concentration or unreasonable deformation phases. To avoid these problems, we studied a technique which performs the thermal stress analysis without any DBCs; and then removes rigid body motions from the deformation results in a post process step as the need arises. The proposed technique makes it easy to apply DBCs and prevent the error caused by improper DBCs. We proved it was mathematically possible to solve a system of algebraic equations without a step of applying DBCs. We also compared the analysis results with those of a traditional procedure for real castings.

TWO POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO THREE-POINT SINGULAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

In this article, we consider the existence of two positive solutions to nonlinear second order three-point singular boundary value problem： -u′′（t） = λf（t, u（t）） for all t ∈ （0, 1） subjecting to u（0） = 0 and αu（η） = u（1）, where η ∈ （0, 1）, α ∈ [0, 1）, and λ is a positive parameter. The nonlinear term f（t, u） is nonnegative, and may be singular at t = 0, t = 1, and u = 0. By the fixed point index theory and approximation method, we establish that there exists λ＊ ∈ （0, ＋∞], such that the above problem has at least two positive solutions for any λ ∈ （0, λ＊） under certain conditions on the nonlinear term f.

Uniform Convergence Analysis for Singularly Perturbed Elliptic Problems with Parabolic Layers

In this paper, using Lin＇s integral identity technique, we prove the optimal uniform convergence θ（Nx^-2ln^2Nx＋Ny^-2ln^2Ny） in the L^2-norm for singularly perturbed problems with parabolic layers. The error estimate is achieved by bilinear finite elements on a Shishkin type mesh. Here Nx and Ny are the number of elements in the x- and y-directions, respectively. Numerical results are provided supporting our theoretical analysis.

Precise integration method for solving singular perturbation problems

This paper presents a precise method for solving singularly perturbed boundary-value problems with the boundary layer at one end. The method divides the interval evenly and gives a set of algebraic equations in a matrix form by the precise integration relationship of each segment. Substituting the boundary conditions into the algebraic equations, the coefficient matrix can be transformed to the block tridiagonal matrix. Considering the nature of the problem, an efficient reduction method is given for solving singular perturbation problems. Since the precise integration relationship introduces no discrete error in the discrete process, the present method has high precision. Numerical examples show the validity of the present method.

EXISTENCE RESULTS FOR SINGULAR FRACTIONAL p-KIRCHHOFF PROBLEMS

This paper is concerned with the existence and multiplicity of solutions for singular Kirchhoff-type problems involving the fractional p-Laplacian operator.More precisely,we study the following nonlocal problem:{M (∫∫_(R2N)|x|^(α1p)|y|^(α2p)|u(x) − u(y)|^(p)/|x − y|^(N+ps) dxdy)L_(p)^(s)u = |x| ^(β)f(u) in Ω,u = 0 in R^(N) \ Ω,where L_(p)^(s) is the generalized fractional p-Laplacian operator,N≥1,s∈(0,1),α_(1),α_(2),β∈R,Ω■R^(N) is a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary,and M:R0^(+)→R0^(+),f:Ω→R are continuous functions.Firstly,we introduce a variational framework for the above problem.Then,the existence of least energy solutions is obtained by using variational methods,provided that the nonlinear term f has(θ_(p-1))-sublinear growth at infinity.Moreover,the existence of infinitely many solutions is obtained by using Krasnoselskii’s genus theory.Finally,we obtain the existence and multiplicity of solutions if f has(θ_(p-1))-superlinear growth at infinity.The main features of our paper are that the Kirchhoff function may vanish at zero and the nonlinearity may be singular.
