An analytically oriented discretization technique for boundary value problems (Q1187142): Difference between revisions

An ``analytically oriented'' discretization for monotone type problems is developed with the construction of a bounding operator. Another application generates a uniformly convergent scheme for solving the singularly perturbed boundary value problem \(-\varepsilon u''+a(x)u'+b(x)u=f(x)\) \((0\leq x\leq 1)\); \(u(0)=u(1)=0\), where \(\varepsilon\in (0,1]\) is a parameter, \(a\), \(b\), and \(f\) are sufficiently smooth, \(a(x)\geq \alpha>0\), so that there is no turning point. Here the coefficients are approximated by suitable piecewise constant functions. A similar approach has been applied to certain fourth order problems.
