a class of new methods based on a septic non-polynomial spline function for the numerical solution one-dimensional bratu's problem are presented. the local truncation errors and the methods of order 2th, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th, are obtained. the inverse of some band matrixes are obtained which are required in proving the convergence analysis of the presented method. associated bound...

This paper studies a boundary value problem of nonlinear second-order q-difference equations with non-separated boundary conditions. As a first step, the given boundary value problem is converted to an equivalent integral operator equation by using the q-difference calculus. Then the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the problem is proved via the resulting integral operator equation by m...

A new definition of conditional invariance for boundary value problems involving a wide range of boundary conditions (including initial value problems as a special case) is proposed. It is shown that other definitions worked out in order to find Lie symmetries of boundary value problems with standard boundary conditions, followed as particular cases from our definition. Simple examples of direc...

in this work, by employing the krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem, we study the existence of positive solutions of a three-point boundary value problem for the following fourth-order differential equation begin{eqnarray*} left { begin{array}{ll} u^{(4)}(t) -f(t,u(t),u^{prime prime }(t))=0 hspace{1cm} 0 leq t leq 1, & u(0) = u(1)=0, hspace{1cm} alpha u^{prime prime }(0) - beta u^{prime prim...

We consider the inverse boundary value problem in the case of discrete electrical networks containing nonlinear (non-ohmic) conductors. For a fixed nonlinear electrical network, we show that under reasonable assumptions, there are well-defined Dirichletto-Neumann and Neumann-to-Dirichlet maps relating boundary voltages and boundary currents. We also generalize work of Curtis, Morrow, and others...

We study the equilibrium states for an energy functional with a parametric force field on a region of a surface. Consideration of free equilibrium states is based on Lyusternik - Schnirelman's and Skrypnik's variational methods. Consideration of equilibrium states under a constraint of geometrical character is based on an analog of Skrypnik's method, described in [P. Vyridis, {it Bifurcation in...

This paper studies the existence of symmetric positive solutions for a second order nonlinear semipositone boundary value problem with integral boundary conditions by applying the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem. Emphasis is put on the fact that the nonlinear term f may take negative value. An example is presented to demonstrate the application of our main result.

In this paper, a second-order nonlinear singular boundary value problem is presented, which is equivalent to the well-known Falkner-Skan equation. And the one-dimensional third-order boundary value problem on interval [Formula: see text] is equivalently transformed into a second-order boundary value problem on finite interval [Formula: see text]. The finite difference method is utilized to solv...
