Ingularly perturbed equations in critical cases

Singularly perturbed partial differential equations with small parameters with higher derivatives deserve special attention, which often arise in a variety of applied problems and are used in describing mathematical models of diffusion processes, absorption taking into account small diffusion, filtration of liquids in porous media, chemical kinetics, chromatography, heat and mass transfer, hydrodynamics and many other fields. It is necessary to consider the creation of an asymptotic classification of solutions of singularly perturbed equations using a well-known approach to solving the boundary value problem. In this case, the singular problem is understood as the problem of constructing the asymptotics of the solution of the Cauchy problem for a system of ordinary differential equations with a small parameter with a large derivative. The asymptotics of the solution in all cases is based on the last time interval or the construction of a boundary value problem for a system with a weak clot in an asymptotically large time interval. Purpose - to construct and substantiate the asymptotics of solving a singular initial problem for a system of two nonlinear ordinary differential equations with a small parameter; To date, a number of methods have been developed for constructing asymptotic expansions of solutions to various problems. This is the method of boundary functions developed in the works of A.B. Vasilyeva, M.I. Vishik, L.A. Lusternik, V.F. Butuzov; the regularization method of S. A. Lomov, methods of averaging, VKB, splicing of asymptotic decompositions of A.M. Ilyin and others. All the above methods allow us to obtain asymptotic expansions of solutions for wide classes of equations. At the same time, such singularly perturbed problems often arise, to which ready-made methods are not applicable or do not allow to obtain an effective result. Therefore, the development of methods for solving equations remains a very urgent problem. As a result of the study, an algorithm for constructing an asymptotic classification of the initial solution of the problem with a singular perturbation is given, and approaches to estimating the residual term are also shown.

The asymptotic solution of a singularly perturbed Cauchy problem for Fokker-Planck equation

The asymptotic method is a very attractive area of applied mathematics. There are many modern research directions which use a small parameter such as statistical mechanics, chemical reaction theory and so on. The application of the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) with a small parameter is the most popular because this equation is the parabolic partial differential equations and the solutions of FPE give the probability density function. In this paper we investigate the singularly perturbed Cauchy problem for symmetric linear system of parabolic partial differential equations with a small parameter. We assume that this system is the Tikhonov non-homogeneous system with constant coefficients. The paper aims to consider this Cauchy problem, apply the asymptotic method and construct expansions of the solutions in the form of two-type decomposition. This decomposition has regular and border-layer parts. The main result of this paper is a justification of an asymptotic expansion for the solutions of this Cauchy problem. Our method can be applied in a wide variety of cases for singularly perturbed Cauchy problems of Fokker-Planck equations.

Solution of the nonregular problem for a parabolic equation with the time derivative in the boundary condition

There is studied the Hölder space solution u ε of the problem for parabolic equation with the time derivative ε ∂ t u ε | Σ in the boundary condition, where ε > 0 is a small parameter. The unique solvability of the perturbed problem and estimates of it’s solution are obtained. The convergence of u ε as ε → 0 to the solution of the unperturbed problem is proved. Boundary layer is not appeared.

Constructing and analyzing mathematical model of plasma characteristics in the active region of integrated p-i-n-structures by the methods of perturbation theory and conformal mappings

The results of mathematical modeling of stationary physical processes in the electron-hole plasma of the active region (i-region) of integral p-i-n-structures are presented. The mathematical model is written in the framework of the hydrodynamic thermal approximation, taking into account the phenomenological data on the effect on the dynamic characteristics of charge carriers of heating of the electron-hole plasma as a result of the release of Joule heat in the volume of the i-th region and the release of recombination energy. The model is based on a nonlinear boundary value problem on a given spatial domain with curvilinear sections of the boundary for the system of equations for the continuity of the current of charge carriers, Poisson, and thermal conductivity. The statement of the problem contains a naturally formed small parameter, which made it possible to use asymptotic methods for its analytical-numerical solution. A model nonlinear boundary value problem with a small parameter is reduced to a sequence of linear boundary value problems by the methods of perturbation theory, and the physical domain of the problem with curvilinear sections of the boundary is reduced to the canonical form by the method of conformal mappings. Stationary distributions of charge carrier concentrations and the corresponding temperature field in the active region of p-i-n-structures are obtained in the form of asymptotic series in powers of a small parameter. The process of refining solutions is iterative, with the alternate fixation of unknown tasks at different stages of the iterative process. The asymptotic series describing the behavior of the plasma concentration and potential in the region under study, in contrast to the classical ones, contain boundary layer corrections. It was found that boundary functions play a key role in describing the electrostatic plasma field. The proposed approach to solving the corresponding nonlinear problem can significantly save computing resources

CONSTRUCTION OF STABILITY AREAS FOR CONTROLLED SYSTEMS WITH PARAMETRIC AND DYNAMIC UNCERTAINTY

The subject of research in the article is sigularly perturbed controllable systems of differential equations containing terms with a small parameters on the right-hand side, which are not completely known, but only satisfy some constraints. The aim of the work is to expand the study of the behavior of solutions of singularly perturbed systems of differential equations to the case when the system is influenced not only by dynamic (small factor at the derivative) but also parametric (small factor at the right side of equations) uncertainties and to determine conditions under which such systems will be asymptotically resistant to any perturbations, estimate the upper limit of the small parameter, so that for all values of this parameter less than the obtained estimate, the undisturbed solution of the system was asymptotically stable. The following problems are solved in the article: singularly perturbed systems of differential equations with regular perturbations in the form of terms with a small parameter in the right-hand sides, which are not fully known, are investigated; an estimate is made of the areas of asymptotic stability of the unperturbed solution of such systems, that is, the class of systems that can be investigated for stability is expanded, the formulas obtained that allow one to analyze the asymptotic stability of solutions to systems even under conditions of incomplete information about the perturbations acting on them. The following methods are used: mathematical modeling of complex control systems; vector Lyapunov functions investigation of asymptotic stability of solutions of systems of differential equations. The following results were obtained: an estimate was made for the upper bound of a small parameter for sigularly perturbed systems of differential equations with fully known parametric (fully known) and dynamic uncertainties, such that for all values of this parameter less than the obtained estimate, such an unperturbed solution is asymptotically stable; a theorem is proved in which sufficient conditions for the uniform asymptotic stability of such a system are formulated. Conclusions: the method of vector Lyapunov functions extends to the class of singularly perturbed systems of differential equations with a small factor in the right-hand sides, which are not completely known, but only satisfy certain constraints.

Tutorial on the Use of the regsem Package in R

Sparse estimation through regularization is gaining popularity in psychological research. Such techniques penalize the complexity of the model and could perform variable/path selection in an automatic way, and thus are particularly useful in models that have small parameter-to-sample-size ratios. This paper gives a detailed tutorial of the R package regsem, which implements regularization for structural equation models. Example R code is also provided to highlight the key arguments of implementing regularized structural equation models in this package. The tutorial ends by discussing remedies of some known drawbacks of a popular type of regularization, computational methods supported by the package that can improve the selection result, and some other practical issues such as dealing with missing data and categorical variables.

Comparison of Non-Newtonian Models of One-Dimensional Hemodynamics

The paper is devoted to the comparison of different one-dimensional models of blood flow. In such models, the non-Newtonian property of blood is considered. It is demonstrated that for the large arteries, the small parameter is observed in the models, and the perturbation method can be used for the analytical solution. In the paper, the simplified nonlinear problem for the semi-infinite vessel with constant properties is solved analytically, and the solutions for different models are compared. The effects of the flattening of the velocity profile and hematocrit value on the deviation from the Newtonian model are investigated.
