A general theory of one-step methods for two-point boundary value problems with parameters is developed. On nonuniform nets , one-step schemes are considered. Sufficient conditions for convergence and error estimates are given. Linear or quadratic convergence is obtained by Theorem 1 or 2, respectively.
In this paper, we examine a particular class of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems with a discontinuous coefficient of the convective term. The presence of a discontinuous convective coefficient generates a solution which mimics flow moving in opposing directions either side of some flow source. A particular transmission condition is imposed to ensure that the differential operator is stable. A piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh is combined with a monotone finite difference operator...
The one-dimensional steady-state convection-diffusion problem for the unknown temperature of a medium entering the interval with the temperature and flowing with a positive velocity is studied. The medium is being heated with an intensity corresponding to for a constant . We are looking for a velocity with a given average such that the outflow temperature is maximal and discuss the influence of the boundary condition at the point on the “maximizing” function .
A design optimization problem for an elastic beam with a unilateral elastic foundation is analyzed. Euler-Bernoulli's model for the beam and Winkler's model for the foundation are considered. The state problem is represented by a nonlinear semicoercive problem of 4th order with mixed boundary conditions. The thickness of the beam and the stiffness of the foundation are optimized with respect to a cost functional. We establish solvability conditions for the state problem and study the existence of...
In this paper we study a discrete Raman laser amplification model given as a Lotka-Volterra system. We show that in an ideal situation, the equations can be written as a Poisson system with boundary conditions using a global change of coordinates. We address the questions of existence and uniqueness of a solution. We deduce numerical schemes for the approximation of the solution that have good stability.
