A Consecutive Quasilinearization Method for the Optimal Boundary Control of Semilinear Parabolic Equations

Optimal boundary control of semilinear parabolic equations requires efficient solution methods in applications. Solution methods bypass the nonlinearity in different approaches. One approach can be quasilinearization (QL) but its applicability is locally in time. Nonetheless, consecutive applications of it can form a new method which is applicable globally in time. Dividing the control problem equivalently into many finite consecutive control subproblems they can be solved consecutively by a QL method. The proposed QL method for each subproblem constructs an infinite sequence of linear-quadratic optimal boundary control problems. These problems have solutions which converge to any optimal solutions of the subproblem. This implies the uniqueness of optimal solution to the subproblem. Merging solutions to the subproblems the solution of original control problem is obtained and its uniqueness is concluded. This uniqueness result is new. The proposed consecutive quasilinearization method is numerically stable with convergence order at least linear. Its consecutive feature prevents large scale computations and increases machine applicability. Its applicability for globalization of locally convergent methods makes it attractive for designing fast hybrid solution methods with global convergence.

Haar Wavelet Quasilinearization Approach for Solving Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems

Objective of our paper is to present the Haar wavelet based solutions of boundary value problems by Haar collocation method and utilizing Quasilinearization technique to resolve quadratic nonlinearity in y. More accurate solutions are obtained by wavelet decomposition in the form of a multiresolution analysis of the function which represents solution of boundary value problems. Through this analysis, solutions are found on the coarse grid points and refined towards higher accuracy by increasing the level of the Haar wavelets. A distinctive feature of the proposed method is its simplicity and applicability for a variety of boundary conditions. Numerical tests are performed to check the applicability and efficiency. C++ program is developed to find the wavelet solution.

Entropy generation analysis from the time-dependent quadratic combined convective flow with multiple diffusions and nonlinear thermal radiation

Diffusions of multiple components have numerous applications such as underground water flow, pollutant movement, stratospheric warming, and food processing. Particularly, liquid hydrogen is used in the cooling process of the aeroplane. Further, liquid nitrogen can find applications in cooling equipment or electronic devices, i.e., high temperature superconducting(HTS) cables. So, herein, we have analysed the entropy generation(EG), nonlinear thermal radiation and unsteady(time-dependent) nature of the flow on quadratic combined convective flow over a permeable slender cylinder with diffusions of liquid hydrogen and nitrogen. The governing equations for flow and heat transfer characteristics are expressed in terms of nonlinear coupled partial differential equations. The solutions of these equations are attempted numerically by employing the quasilinearization technique with the implicit finite difference approximation. It is found that EG is minimum for double diffusion(liquid hydrogen and heat diffusion)than triple diffusion(diffusion of liquid hydrogen, nitrogen and heat). The enhancing values of the radiation parameter R_(d) and temperature ratio θ_(w) augment the fluid temperature for steady and unsteady cases as well as the local Nusselt number. Because, the fluid absorbs the heat energy released due to radiation, and in turn releases the heat energy from the cylinder to the surrounding surface.

Local Solution of Three-Dimensional Axisymmetric Supersonic Flow in a Nozzle

In this paper, we construct a local supersonic flow in a 3-dimensional axis-symmetry nozzle when a uniform supersonic flow inserts the throat. We apply the local existence theory of boundary value problem for quasilinear hyperbolic system to solve this problem. The boundary value condition is set in particular to guarantee the character number condition. By this trick, the theory in quasilinear hyperbolic system can be employed to a large range of the boundary value problem.

On the Coupled of NBEM and CFEM for an Anisotropic Quasilinear Problem in an Unbounded Domain with a Concave Angle

In this paper, based on the Kirchhoff transformation and the natural boundary element method, a coupled natural boundary element and curved edge finite element is applied to solve the anisotropic quasi-linear problem in an unbounded domain with a concave angle. By using the principle of the natural boundary reduction, we obtain the natural integral equation on the artificial boundary of circular arc boundary, and get the coupled variational problem and its numerical method. Then the error and convergence of coupling solution are analyzed. Finally, some numerical examples are verified to show the feasibility of our method.
