Finite Difference Scheme for a Singularly Perturbed Parabolic Equations in the Presence of Initial and Boundary Layers
Journal Title: Mathematical Modelling and Analysis - Year 2008, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
The grid approximation of an initial-boundary value problem is considered for a singularly perturbed parabolic reaction-diffusion equation. The second-order spatial derivative and the temporal derivative in the differential equation are multiplied by parameters ε[sub]1[/sub][sup]2 [/sup]and ε[sub]2[/sub][sup]2[/sup], respectively, that take arbitrary values in the open-closed interval (0,1]. The solutions of such parabolic problems typically have boundary, initial layers and/or initial-boundary layers. [i]A priori [/i]estimates are constructed for the regular and singular components of the solution. Using such estimates and the condensing mesh technique for a tensor-product grid, piecewise-uniform in [i]x [/i]and [i]t, [/i] a difference scheme is constructed that converges ε[sup]--[/sup]uniformly at the rate [i]O[/i]([i]N[/i][sup]-2[/sup]ln[sup]2 [/sup][i]N [/i]+[i]N[/i][sub]0[/sub][sup]-1[/sup] ln [i]N[/i][sub]0[/sub]), where ([i]N[/i]+1) and ([i]N[/i][sub]0[/sub]+1) are the numbers of mesh points in [i]x[/i] and [i]t [/i]respectively.

Unsteady Squeezing Flow of a Viscous MHD Fluid Between Parallel Plates, a Solution Using the Homotopy Perturbation Method
The present paper analyses the unsteady 2-dimensional flow of a viscous MHD fluid between two parallel infinite plates. The two infinite plates are considered to be approaching each other symmetrically, causing the squee...
Finite Element Solution of Boundary Value Problems with Nonlocal Jump Conditions
We consider stationary linear problems on non-connected layers with distinct material properties. Well posedness and the maximum principle (MP) for the differential problems are proved. A version of the finite element me...
