A collocation method for solving a class of singular nonlinear two-point boundary value problems

Existence and uniqueness of solutions of a class of two-point singular nonlinear boundary value problems

This article is concerned with a class of singular nonlinear fractional boundary value problems with p‐Laplacian operator, which contains Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative and Caputo fractional derivative. The boundary conditions are made up of two kinds of Riemann–Stieltjes integral boundary conditions and nonlocal infinite‐point boundary conditions, and different fractional orders are involved in the boundary conditions and the nonlinear term, respectively. Based on the method of reducing the order of fractional derivative, some properties of the corresponding Green’s function, and the fixed point theorem of mixed monotone operator, an interesting result on the iterative sequence of the uniqueness of positive solutions is obtained under the assumption that the nonlinear term may be singular in regard to both the time variable and space variables. And we obtain the dependence of solution upon parameter. Furthermore, two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the application of our main results.

The classical homotopy perturbation method proposed by J. H. He, Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 178, 257 (1999) is useful for obtaining the approximate solutions for a wide class of nonlinear problems in terms of series with easily calculable components. However, in some cases, it has been found that this method results in slowly convergent series. To overcome the shortcoming, we present a new reliable algorithm called the domain decomposition homotopy perturbation method (DDHPM) to solve a class of singular two-point boundary value problems with Neumann and Robin-type boundary conditions arising in various physical models. Five numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and applicability of our method, including thermal explosion, oxygen-diffusion in a spherical cell and heat conduction through a solid with heat generation. A comparison is made between the proposed technique and other existing seminumerical or numerical techniques. Numerical results reveal that only two or three iterations lead to high accuracy of the solution and this newly improved technique introduces a powerful improvement for solving nonlinear singular boundary value problems (SBVPs).

Positive solutions of nonlinear singular third-order two-point boundary value problem

<p/> Some new existence and uniqueness theorems of fixed points of mixed monotone operators are obtained, and then they are applied to a nonlinear singular second-order three-point boundary value problem on time scales. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution for the above problem which cannot be solved by using previously available methods.

In this work, the electrohydrodynamic flow equation of a fluid in an ion drag configuration in a circular cylindrical conduit is considered. The differential equation of the problem is a highly nonlinear and singular boundary value problem (BVP). An analytical solution of the problem is presented using the differential transform method (DTM). In this method, the differential equation and related boundary conditions transformed into a recurrence set of equations and at the end, the coefficients of Taylor series are calculated based on the solution of this set of equations. DTM results are compared with the numerical solution of the problem and an excellent accuracy is observed. It showed that the proposed method overcame the nonlinearity and singularity of the problem without any need to restrict assumptions or linearization. Most of the scientific problems and engineering phenomena are usually defined based on the nonlinear differential equations of both initial value problems (IVP) and boundary value problems (BVP). It is important to remember that except a limited number of these problems, finding exact analytical solution is difficult. Therefore, researchers use semi-analytical techniques and numerical methods. The semi-analytical methods such as the perturbation method (PM), Adomian decomposition method (ADM), variational iteration method (VIM), homotopy perturbation method (HPM), homotopy analysis method (HAM), and differential transform method (DTM) are useful mathematical ones, which present the analytical solutions for nonlinear differential equations. In this paper, solution of electrohydrodynamic flow equation of a fluid in an ion drag configuration in a circular cylindrical conduit is presented using DTM. Already, the electrohydrodynamic flow of a fluid and its governing equations is considered (1). The electrohydrodynamic flow is important in analysis of the flow meters, accelerators, pumps and magnetohydrodynamic generators. The differential equation of the problem is the nonlinear singular boundary value problem. 2 2

By applying the fixed point index theorem, some sufficient conditions for positive solutions are established. An example is given to demonstrate the application of our main results.

In this paper, a collocation method based on Laguerre wavelets is proposed for the numerical solutions of linear and nonlinear singular boundary value problems. Laguerre wavelet expansions together with operational matrix of integration are used to convert the problems into systems of algebraic equations which can be efficiently solved by suitable solvers. Illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of this technique, and the results have been compared with the exact solutions.
