Chien-physics-informed neural networks for solving singularly perturbed boundary-layer problems

A physics-informed neural network(PINN)is a powerful tool for solving differential equations in solid and fluid mechanics.However,it suffers from singularly perturbed boundary-layer problems in which there exist sharp changes caused by a small perturbation parameter multiplying the highest-order derivatives.In this paper,we introduce Chien's composite expansion method into PINNs,and propose a novel architecture for the PINNs,namely,the Chien-PINN(C-PINN)method.This novel PINN method is validated by singularly perturbed differential equations,and successfully solves the wellknown thin plate bending problems.In particular,no cumbersome matching conditions are needed for the C-PINN method,compared with the previous studies based on matched asymptotic expansions.

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 SINGULAR DIRICHLET PROBLEM FOR THE MONGE-AMPÈRE TYPE EQUATION

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.

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.

ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOUR OF EIGENVALUES FOR THE DISCONTINUOUS BOUNDARY-VALUE PROBLEM WITH FUNCTIONAL-TRANSMISSION CONDITIONS

In this study, the boundary-value problem with eigenvalue parameter generated by the differential equation with discontinuous coefficients and boundary conditions which contains not only endpoints of the considered interval, but also point of discontinuity and linear functionals is investigated. So, the problem is not pure boundary-value. The authors single out a class of linear functionals and find simple algebraic conditions on coefficients, which garantee the existence of infinit number eigenvalues. Also the asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues are found.

Solvability on boundary-value problems of elasticity of three-dimensional quasicrystals

Weak solution （or generalized solution） for the boundary-value problems of partial differential equations of elasticity of 3D （three-dimensional） quasicrystals is given, in which the matrix expression is used. In terms of Korn inequality and theory of function space, we prove the uniqueness of the weak solution. This gives an extension of existence theorem of solution for classical elasticity to that of quasicrystals, and develops the weak solution theory of elasticity of 2D quasicrystals given by the second author of the paper and his students.

Logarithmic Sine and Cosine Transforms and Their Applications to Boundary-Value Problems Connected with Sectionally-Harmonic Functions

Let stand for the polar coordinates in R2, ?be a given constant while satisfies the Laplace equation in the wedge-shaped domain or . Here αj(j = 1,2,...,n + 1) denote certain angles such that αj αj(j = 1,2,...,n + 1). It is known that if r = a satisfies homogeneous boundary conditions on all boundary lines ?in addition to non-homogeneous ones on the circular boundary , then an explicit expression of in terms of eigen-functions can be found through the classical method of separation of variables. But when the boundary?condition given on the circular boundary r = a is homogeneous, it is not possible to define a discrete set of eigen-functions. In this paper one shows that if the homogeneous condition in question is of the Dirichlet (or Neumann) type, then the logarithmic sine transform (or logarithmic cosine transform) defined by (or ) may be effective in solving the problem. The inverses of these transformations are expressed through the same kernels on or . Some properties of these transforms are also given in four theorems. An illustrative example, connected with the heat transfer in a two-part wedge domain, shows their effectiveness in getting exact solution. In the example in question the lateral boundaries are assumed to be non-conducting, which are expressed through Neumann type boundary conditions. The application of the method gives also the necessary condition for the solvability of the problem (the already known existence condition!). This kind of problems arise in various domain of applications such as electrostatics, magneto-statics, hydrostatics, heat transfer, mass transfer, acoustics, elasticity, etc.

AN EFFICIENT FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR STOCHASTIC LINEAR SECOND-ORDER BOUNDARY-VALUE PROBLEMS DRIVEN BY ADDITIVE WHITE NOISES

In this paper,we develop and analyze a finite difference method for linear second-order stochastic boundary-value problems(SBVPs)driven by additive white noises.First we regularize the noise by the Wong-Zakai approximation and introduce a sequence of linear second-order SBVPs.We prove that the solution of the SBVP with regularized noise converges to the solution of the original SBVP with convergence order O(h)in the meansquare sense.To obtain a numerical solution,we apply the finite difference method to the stochastic BVP whose noise is piecewise constant approximation of the original noise.The approximate SBVP with regularized noise is shown to have better regularity than the original problem,which facilitates the convergence proof for the proposed scheme.Convergence analysis is presented based on the standard finite difference method for deterministic problems.More specifically,we prove that the finite difference solution converges at O(h)in the mean-square sense,when the second-order accurate three-point formulas to approximate the first and second derivatives are used.Finally,we present several numerical examples to validate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed scheme.

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.
