Multiple solutions of a generalized one-dimensional Bratu problem

چکیده
Nonlinear two-point boundary value problems (BVPs) may have none or more than one solution. For the singularly perturbed two-point BVP εu′′ + 2u′ + f (u) = 0, 0 < x < 1, u(0) = 0, u(1) = 0, a condition is given to have one and only one solution; also cases of more solutions have been analyzed. After attention to the form and validity of the corresponding asymptotic expansions, partially based on slow manifold theory, we reconsider the BVP within the framework of small and large values of the parameter. In the case of a special nonlinearity, numerical bifurcation patterns are studied that improve our understanding of the multi-valuedness of the solutions.

متن کاملSelf-similar solutions of the Riemann problem for two-dimensional systems of conservation laws
In this paper, a new approach is applied to study the self-similar solutions of 2×2 systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. A notion of characteristic directions is introduced and then used to construct local and smooth solutions of the associated Riemann problem
متن کاملAn iterative method for the Hermitian-generalized Hamiltonian solutions to the inverse problem AX=B with a submatrix constraint
In this paper, an iterative method is proposed for solving the matrix inverse problem $AX=B$ for Hermitian-generalized Hamiltonian matrices with a submatrix constraint. By this iterative method, for any initial matrix $A_0$, a solution $A^*$ can be obtained in finite iteration steps in the absence of roundoff errors, and the solution with least norm can be obtained by choosing a special kind of...
متن کاملFirst Principles Derivation of Displacement and Stress Function for Three-Dimensional Elastostatic Problems, and Application to the Flexural Analysis of Thick Circular Plates
In this study, stress and displacement functions of the three-dimensional theory of elasticity for homogeneous isotropic bodies are derived from first principles from the differential equations of equilibrium, the generalized stress – strain laws and the geometric relations of strain and displacement. It is found that the stress and displacement functions must be biharmonic functions. The deriv...
