We consider a Cauchy problem for nonlinear parabolic equations with functional dependence. We prove convergence theorems for a general quasilinearization method in two cases: (i) the Hale functional acting only on the unknown function, (ii) including partial derivatives of the unknown function. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 35K10, 35K15, 35R10.

The generalized quasilinearization technique is applied to obtain a monotone sequence of iterates converging uniformly and quadratically to a solution of three point boundary value problem for second order differential equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. Also, we improve the convergence of the sequence of iterates by establishing a convergence of order k.

In this paper, we discuss an extended form of generalized quasilinearization technique for first order nonlinear impulsive differential equations with a nonlinear three-point boundary condition. In fact, we obtain monotone sequences of upper and lower solutions converging uniformly and quadratically to the unique solution of the problem.

The method of quasilinearization coupled with the method of lower and upper solutions is applied to systems of nonlinear differential equations with a singular matrix. It generates sequences of approximate solutions which are convergent to the solution and the convergence is quadratic or semiquadratic.

The quasilinearization method coupled with the method of upper and lower solutions is used for a class of nonlinear boundary value problems with integral boundary conditions. We obtain some less restrictive sufficient conditions under which corresponding monotone sequences converge uniformly and quadratically to the unique solution of the problem. An example is also included to illustrate the m...

Integral boundary conditions for evolution problems have various applications in chemical engineering, thermoelasticity, underground water flow and population dynamics, see for example [16, 17, 24]. In fact, boundary value problems involving integral boundary conditions have received considerable attention, see for instance, [3, 10], [12]–[15], [18, 19, 26] and the references therein. In a rece...

In this paper, a numerical solution based on Haar wavelet quasilinearization (HWQ) is used for finding the solution of nonlinear Euler-Lagrange equations which arise from the problems in calculus of variations. Some examples of variational problems are given and outcomes compared with exact solutions to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method.

In this paper, the boundary layer flow of an Eyring-Powell non-Newtonian fluid over a linearly stretching sheet is solved using the combination of the quasilinearization method and the Fractional order of Rational Chebyshev function (FRC) collocation method on a semi-infinite domain. The quasilinearization method converts the equation into a sequence of linear equations then, using the FRC coll...
