چکیده

Abstract. In this paper, we develop a C0 interior penalty method for a fourth order singular perturbation elliptic problem in two dimensions on polygonal domains. Using some a posteriori error analysis techniques, we are able to show that the method converges in the energy norm uniformly with respect to the perturbation parameter under minimal regularity assumptions. In addition, we analyze the convergence of the numerical solution to the unperturbed second order problem. Finally, we perform some numerical experiments that back up the theoretical results.

Uniformly Stable Rectangular Elements for Fourth Order Elliptic Singular Perturbation Problems

In this article, we consider rectangular finite element methods for fourth order elliptic singular perturbation problems. We show that the non-C0 rectangular Morley element is uniformly convergent in the energy norm with respect to the perturbation parameter. We also propose a C0 extended high order rectangular Morley element and prove the uniform convergence. Finally, we do some numerical expe...

INVESTIGATION OF BOUNDARY LAYERS IN A SINGULAR PERTURBATION PROBLEM INCLUDING A 4TH ORDER ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper, we investigate a singular perturbation problem including a fourth order O.D.E. with general linear boundary conditions. Firstly, we obtain the necessary conditions of solution of O.D.E. by making use of fundamental solution, then by compatibility of these conditions with boundary conditions, we determine that, for given perturbation problem, whether boundary layer is formed or not.

An Iterative Method Based on Equation Decomposition for the Fourth-order Singular Perturbation Problem

In this paper, we propose an iterative method based on the equation decomposition technique[11] for the numerical solution of a singular perturbation problem of fourth-order elliptic equation. At each step of the given method, we only need to solve a boundary value problem of second-order elliptic equation and a second-order singular perturbation problem. We prove that our approximate solution ...

Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing Preprint Seria C0 Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin approximation of a sixth order Cahn-Hilliard equation modeling microemulsification processes

Microemulsions can be modeled by an initial-boundary value problem for a sixth order Cahn-Hilliard equation. Introducing the chemical potential as a dual variable, a Ciarlet-Raviart type mixed formulation yields a system consisting of a linear second order evolutionary equation and a nonlinear fourth order equation. The spatial discretization is done by a C0 Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galer...

On Approximate Stationary Radial Solutions for a Class of Boundary Value Problems Arising in Epitaxial Growth Theory

In this paper, we consider a non-self-adjoint, singular, nonlinear fourth order boundary value problem which arises in the theory of epitaxial growth. It is possible to reduce the fourth order equation to a singular boundary value problem of second order given by w''-1/r w'=w^2/(2r^2 )+1/2 λ r^2. The problem depends on the parameter λ and admits multiple solutions. Therefore, it is difficult to...
