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 Modified Formulation of Singular Boundary Method for Exterior Acoustics

This paper proposes amodified formulation of the singular boundarymethod(SBM)by introducing the combined Helmholtz integral equation formulation(CHIEF)and the self-regularization technique to exterior acoustics.In the SBM,the concept of the origin intensity factor(OIF)is introduced to avoid the singularities of the fundamental solutions.The SBM belongs to the meshless boundary collocation methods.The additional use of the CHIEF scheme and the self-regularization technique in the SBM guarantees the unique solution of the exterior acoustics accurately and efficiently.Consequently,by using the SBM coupled with the CHIEF scheme and the self-regularization technique,the accuracy of the numerical solution can be improved,especially near the corresponding internal characteristic frequencies.Several numerical examples of two-dimensional and threedimensional benchmark examples about exterior acoustics are used to verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method.The proposed numerical results are compared with the analytical solutions and the solutions obtained by the other numerical methods.

We consider the singular Dirichlet problem for the Monge-Ampère type equation{\rm det}\D^2 u=b(x)g(-u)(1+|\nabla u|^2)^{q/2},\u<0,\x\in\Omega,\u|_{\partial\Omega}=0,whereΩis a strictly convex and bounded smooth domain inℝn,q∈[0,n+1),g∈C∞(0,∞)is positive and strictly decreasing in(0,∞)with\lim\limits_{s\rightarrow 0^+}g(s)=\infty,and b∈C∞(Ω)is positive inΩ.We obtain the existence,nonexistence and global asymptotic behavior of the convex solution to such a problem for more general b and g.Our approach is based on the Karamata regular variation theory and the construction of suitable sub-and super-solutions.

Stochastic Bifurcation of an SIS Epidemic Model with Treatment and Immigration

In this paper, we investigate an SIS model with treatment and immigration. Firstly, the two-dimensional model is simplified by using the stochastic averaging method. Then, we derive the local stability of the stochastic system by computing the Lyapunov exponent of the linearized system. Further, the global stability of the stochastic model is analyzed based on the singular boundary theory. Moreover, we prove that the model undergoes a Hopf bifurcation and a pitchfork bifurcation. Finally, several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the theoretical results. .

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.

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.

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.

The proof uses a fixed point theorem in cone theory.

A boundary element method for the simulation of non-spherical bubbles and their interactions near a free surface

The basic principle and numerical technique for simulating two three-dimensional bubbles near a free surface are studied in detail by using boundary element method. The singularities of influence coefficient matrix are eliminated using coordinate transformation and so-called 4π rule. The solid angle for the open surface is treated in direct method based on its definition. Several kinds of configurations for the bubbles and free surface have been investigated. The pressure contours during the evolution of bubbles are obtained in our model and can better illuminate the mechanism underlying the motions of bubbles and free surface. The bubble dynamics and their interactions have close relation with the standoff distances, buoyancy parameters and initial sizes of bubbles. Completely different bubble shapes, free surface motions, jetting patterns and pressure distributions under different parameters can be observed in our model, as demon- strated in our calculation results.

Performance Evaluation of Bottom-Standing Submerged Breakwaters in Regular Waves Using the Meshless Singular Boundary Method

In this paper, the improved version of the meshless singular boundary method (ISBM) is developed for analyzing the hydrodynamic performance of bottom-standing submerged breakwaters in regular normally incident waves. Both the single and dual prismatic breakwaters of rectangular and trapezoidal forms are examined. Only the impermeable breakwaters are considered in this study. The physical problem is cast in terms of the Laplace equation governing an irrotational flow and incompressible fluid motion with the appropriate mixed-type boundary conditions, and it is solved numerically using the ISBM. The numerical results are presented in terms of the hydrodynamic quantities of reflection and transmission coefficients. The values are first validated against the data of previous studies, computed, and discussed for a variety of structural conditions, including the height, width, and spacing of breakwater submergence. An excellent agreement is observed between the ISBM results and those of other methods. The breakwater width is found to feature marginal effects compared with the height. The present method is shown to accurately predict the resonant conditions at which the maximum reflection and transmission occur. The trapezoidal breakwaters are found to generally present a wide spectrum of reflections, suggesting that they would function better than the rectangular breakwaters. The dual breakwater systems are confirmed to perform much better than single structures.

MESHLESS ANALYSIS FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL ELASTICITY WITH SINGULAR HYBRID BOUNDARY NODE METHOD

The singular hybrid boundary node method （SHBNM） is proposed for solving three-dimensional problems in linear elasticity. The SHBNM represents a coupling between the hybrid displacement variational formulations and moving least squares （MLS） approximation. The main idea is to reduce the dimensionality of the former and keep the meshless advantage of the later. The rigid movement method was employed to solve the hyper-singular integrations. The ＇boundary layer effect＇, which is the main drawback of the original Hybrid BNM, was overcome by an adaptive integration scheme. The source points of the fundamental solution were arranged directly on the boundary. Thus the uncertain scale factor taken in the regular hybrid boundary node method （RHBNM） can be avoided. Numerical examples for some 3D elastic problems were given to show the characteristics. The computation results obtained by the present method are in excellent agreement with the analytical solution. The parameters that influence the performance of this method were studied through the numerical examples.

Analytic decomposition and numerical procedure for solving the singular boundary value problem arising in viscous flows

An efficient analytical decomposition technique was presented for solving the singular nonlinear boundary value problem arising in viscous flow when the Crocco variable was introduced. The approximate analytical solution may be represented in terms of a rapid convergent power series with elegantly computable terms. The reliability and efficiency of the approximate solutions were verified by numerical ones in the literature. The approximate analytical solutions can be successfully applied to give the values of skin friction coefficient.
