Multiple solutions of a Generalized singular perturbed Bratu Problem

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 slo...

Multiple solutions of a generalized one-dimensional Bratu problem

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 o...

New perturbation-iteration solutions for Bratu-type equations

Perturbation–iteration theory is systematically generated for both linear and nonlinear second-order differential equations and applied to Bratu-type equations. Different perturbation–iteration algorithms depending upon the number of Taylor expansion terms are proposed. Using the iteration formulas derived using different perturbation–iteration algorithms, new solutions of Bratu-type equations ...

Spline-based numerical treatments of Bratu-type equations

Three different spline-based approaches for solving Bratu and Bratu-type equations are presented. The classical cubic spline collocation method, an adaptive spline collocation on nonuniform partitions, and an optimal collocation method are derived for solving Bratu-type equations. Numerical examples are presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of these methods when compared to other nume...
