Existence and approximate solutions of Neumann problems

From MaRDI portal





Some sequences of approximate solutions converging to a solution of the second order differential equation \[ -x^{\prime \prime }\left( t\right) =f\left( t,x\left( t\right) \right) +h\left( t,x\left( t\right) \right) ,\;t\in \left[ 0,\pi \right], \] subject to the Neumann boundary conditions \(x^{\prime }\left( 0\right) =x^{\prime }\left( \pi \right) =0,\) are constructed. The author applies a generalized quasilinearization method, which was first introduced by R. Bellman and R. Kalaba. Three cases are considered to obtain the convergence of approximate solutions. If \(h\) is a continuous function, one gets weak quadratic convergence. If \(h\) is Lipschitz continuous with respect to the second variable, then the convergence is semiquadratic. If \(h\) satisfies a one-sided Lipschitz condition, the convergence is quadratic provided that a corresponding constant is less than one.
