High accuracy nonconforming finite elements for fourth order problems

The approach of nonconforming finite element method admits users to solve the partial differential equations with lower complexity,but the accuracy is usually low.In this paper,we present a family of highaccuracy nonconforming finite element methods for fourth order problems in arbitrary dimensions.The finite element methods are given in a unified way with respect to the dimension.This is an effort to reveal the balance between the accuracy and the complexity of finite element methods.

SPECTRAL AND SPECTRAL ELEMENT METHODS FOR HIGH ORDER PROBLEMS WITH MIXED BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

In this paper, we investigate numerical methods for high order differential equations. We propose new spectral and spectral element methods for high order problems with mixed inhomogeneous boundary conditions, and prove their spectral accuracy by using the recent results on the Jacobi quasi-orthogonal approximation. Numerical results demonstrate the high accuracy of suggested algorithm, which also works well even for oscillating solutions.

Direct adaptive regulation of unknown nonlinear systems with analysis of the model order problem

A new method for the direct adaptive regulation of unknown nonlinear dynamical systems is proposed in this paper,paying special attention to the analysis of the model order problem.The method uses a neurofuzzy (NF) modeling of the unknown system,which combines fuzzy systems (FSs) with high order neural networks (HONNs).We propose the approximation of the unknown system by a special form of an NF-dynamical system (NFDS),which,however,may assume a smaller number of states than the original unknown model.The omission of states,referred to as a model order problem,is modeled by introducing a disturbance term in the approximating equations.The development is combined with a sensitivity analysis of the closed loop and provides a comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the stability properties.An adaptive modification method,termed ‘parameter hopping’,is incorporated into the weight estimation algorithm so that the existence and boundedness of the control signal are always assured.The applicability and potency of the method are tested by simulations on well known benchmarks such as ‘DC motor’ and ‘Lorenz system’,where it is shown that it performs quite well under a reduced model order assumption.Moreover,the proposed NF approach is shown to outperform simple recurrent high order neural networks (RHONNs).

The class of boundary value problems educes a four-point （or three-point or two-point） boundary value problems, for which some similar results are established. Our approach relies on the Krasnosel＇skii fixed point theorem. The result of this paper is new and extends previously known results.

THIRD-ORDER NONLINEAR SINGULARLY PERTURBED BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

Third order singulary perturbed boundary value problem by means of differential inequality theories is studied. Based on the given results of second order nonlinear boundary value problem, the upper and lower solutions method of third order nonlinear boundary value problems by making use of Volterra type integral operator was established. Specific upper and lower solutions were constructed, and existence and asymptotic estimates of solutions under suitable conditions were obtained. The result shows that it seems to be new to apply these techniques to solving these kinds of third order singularly perturbed boundary value problem. An example is given to demonstrate the applications.

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.

JACOBI PSEUDOSPECTRAL METHOD FOR FOURTH ORDER PROBLEMS

In this paper, we investigate Jacobi pseudospectral method for fourth order problems. We establish some basic results on the Jacobi-Gauss-type interpolations in non-uniformly weighted Sobolev spaces, which serve as important tools in analysis of numerical quadratures, and numerical methods of differential and integral equations. Then we propose Jacobi pseudospectral schemes for several singular problems and multiple-dimensional problems of fourth order. Numerical results demonstrate the spectral accuracy of these schemes, and coincide well with theoretical analysis.

Solutions of Seventh Order Boundary Value Problems Using Ninth Degree Spline Functions and Comparison with Eighth Degree Spline Solutions

In this article, we develop numerical method by constructing ninth degree spline function using extended cubic spline Bickley’s method to find the approximate solution of seventh order linear boundary value problems at different step lengths. The approximate solution is compared with the solution obtained by eighth degree splines and exact solution. It has been observed that the approximate solution is an excellent agreement with exact solution. Low absolute error indicates that our numerical method is effective for solving high order linear boundary value problems.

The proof uses a fixed point theorem in cone theory.

Two-grid partition of unity method for second order elliptic problems

A two-grid partition of unity method for second order elliptic problems is proposed and analyzed. The standard two-grid method is a local and parallel method usually leading to a discontinuous solution in the entire computational domain. Partition of unity method is employed to glue all the local solutions together to get the global continuous one, which is optimal in HI-norm. Furthermore, it is shown that the L^2 error can be improved by using the coarse grid correction. Numerical experiments are reported to support the theoretical results.

Numerical Treatment of Nonlinear Third Order Boundary Value Problem

In this paper, the boundary value problems for nonlinear third order differential equations are treated. A generic approach based on nonpolynomial quintic spline is developed to solve such boundary value problem. We show that the approximate solutions of such problems obtained by the numerical algorithm developed using nonpolynomial quintic spline functions are better than those produced by other numerical methods. The algorithm is tested on a problem to demonstrate the practical usefulness of the approach.
