Singular perturbation of a second-order three-point boundary value problem for nonlinear systems

This paper deals with the existence of solutions to a singularly perturbed second-order three-point boundary value problem for nonlinear differential systems. The authors construct an appropriate generalized lower- and upper-solution pair, a concept defined in this paper, and employ the Nagumo conditions and algebraic boundary layer functions to ensure the existence of solutions of the problem. The uniformly valid asymptotic estimate of the solutions is given as well. The differential systems have nonlinear dependence on all order derivatives of the unknown.

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.

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.

Newton-EGMSOR Methods for Solution of Second Order Two-Point Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems

The convergence results of block iterative schemes from the EG （Explicit Group） family have been shown to be one of efficient iterative methods in solving any linear systems generated from approximation equations. Apart from block iterative methods, the formulation of the MSOR （Modified Successive Over-Relaxation） method known as SOR method with red-black ordering strategy by using two accelerated parameters, ω and ω′, has also improved the convergence rate of the standard SOR method. Due to the effectiveness of these iterative methods, the primary goal of this paper is to examine the performance of the EG family without or with accelerated parameters in solving second order two-point nonlinear boundary value problems. In this work, the second order two-point nonlinear boundary value problems need to be discretized by using the second order central difference scheme in constructing a nonlinear finite difference approximation equation. Then this approximation equation leads to a nonlinear system. As well known that to linearize nonlinear systems, the Newton method has been proposed to transform the original system into the form of linear system. In addition to that, the basic formulation and implementation of 2 and 4-point EG iterative methods based on GS （Gauss-Seidel）, SOR and MSOR approaches, namely EGGS, EGSOR and EGMSOR respectively are also presented. Then, combinations between the EG family and Newton scheme are indicated as EGGS-Newton, EGSOR-Newton and EGMSOR-Newton methods respectively. For comparison purpose, several numerical experiments of three problems are conducted in examining the effectiveness of tested methods. Finally, it can be concluded that the 4-point EGMSOR-Newton method is more superior in accelerating the convergence rate compared with the tested methods.

High order multiplication perturbation method for singular perturbation problems

This paper presents a high order multiplication perturbation method for sin- gularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems with the boundary layer at one end. By the theory of singular perturbations, the singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems are first transformed into the singularly perturbed initial value problems. With the variable coefficient dimensional expanding, the non-homogeneous ordinary dif- ferential equations （ODEs） are transformed into the homogeneous ODEs, which are then solved by the high order multiplication perturbation method. Some linear and nonlinear numerical examples show that the proposed method has high precision.
