Abstract

In this paper, we discuss a class of higher order nonlinear nonlocal singularly perturbed boundary value problems with two parameters. Under suitable conditions, we use the fixed-point theorem to study the existence of a generalized solution. Moreover, with the help of the singular perturbation method, we gain the uniformly valid asymptotic representation of the solution.

1 Introduction

Nonlinear singularly perturbed problems have received considerable attention in academia [1, 2]. Many approximation methods, including the boundary layer method, the averaging method, the method of matched asymptotic expansions, and the method of multiple scales, have been improved. Recently, many scholars, such as Samusenko [9], Skrynnikov [11], Tian and Zhu [12], Martínez and Wolanski [5], and Kellogg and Kopteva [4], have done plenty of work. Mo et al. [3, 6-8, 10] have studied a class of nonlinear problems using the singular perturbation method. This paper aims to study a class of singularly perturbed problems for elliptic equations with two parameters by the boundary layer method.

A class of boundary value problems for nonlinear nonlocal elliptic equations with two parameters is

ε2mL2m[u(x)]+μ2lL2k[u(x)]+L2[u(x)]=f(x,Tu(x)),x=(x1,x2,,xn)ΩRn;

lunl(x)=gl(x),xΩ,l=1,2,,m1,

where ε,μ are small parameters with 0εmμl1, Ω is a bounded convex domain, Ω is an infinitely smooth boundary of Ω, and

L2l|ν|,|σ|l(1)|ν|Dνalνσ(x)Dσ,1ln,Dj=xj,Dα=D1α1D2α2Dnαn,|α|=j=1nαj,Tu=ΩK(x)u(x)dx.

Among them, 1<k<m,xα=(x1α1,x2α2,,xnαn), and aνσ,bνσ are real-valued functions of C(Ω). K,f, and gl are sufficiently smooth real-valued functions in their respective variable ranges, Lu(1lm) are uniformly elliptic operators on Ω¯, and n is the outward normal derivative on Ω.

Considering the boundary value problems (1)−(2), we discuss the generalized boundary value problem in a functional space with two parameters:

ε2mBm[ψ,u]+μ2kBk[ψ,u]+B1[ψ,u]=(ψ,f(x,Tu)),

(ψ,lunl)=(ψ,gl),xΩ,l=1,2,,m1,ψC0(Ω),

where

Bj[ψ,u]0<|μ|,|σ|j(Dμψ,aμσDσ)u=(ψ,L2j[u]),j=1,k,m.

C0(Ω) denotes the compact subsets of C(Ω) in Ω, Bj[v,u] is the bilinear operator associated with L2j[u],L2j[u] refers to the operator defined by bounded functions ajνσ on Ω, and the bounded norms of v and u on the Sobolev space are

ψj=(|α|jΩ|Dαψ(x)|2dx)12,j=1,k,m,ψC0(Ω),

where (u,v) is the inner product on H0j(Ω).

2 Existence of the generalized solution

We first discuss the solution of problems (3)−(4). Assume:

[H1] There exist constants Cji(j=1,k,m;i=1,2) independent of v and u, such that

|Bj[v,u]|Cj1vjuj,|Bj[v,v]|Cj2vj2,v,uH0j,j=1,k,m;

[H2] For 1|ν|,|σ|j,j=1,k,m, the coefficients ajνσ are bounded on Ω, and there exist cj satisfying

|ajνσ(x)ajνσ(y)|cj(|xy|),|ν|=|σ|=j,j=1,l,m,x,yΩ,

and when |xy|0, cj(|xy|)0.

[H3] There exist positive constants δ1,δ2, such that

δ1fu(x,Tu)δ2,xΩ¯,uH0j,0<ε1.

[H4] There exists a generalized solution w00H0m(Ω):(ψ,u)=(ψ,g0),xΩ,ψC0(Ω) of the boundary value problem B1[ψ,u]=(ψ,f(x,Tu)).

The following shows the way to prove the theorem.

Theorem 1  Under the assumptions [H1][H4], there is a solution u(x)H0m(Ω) for the generalized boundary value problems (3)‒(4).

Proof Considering an arbitrary function u0(x)H0m(Ω), we discuss the following generalized boundary value problem:

ε2mBm[ψ,u]+μ2kBk[ψ,u]+B1[ψ,u]=(ψ,f(x,Tu0)),(ψ,lunl)=(ψ,gl),xΩ,l=0,1,,m1,ψC0(Ω).

According to the Lax-Milgram theorem [2] and assumptions [H1][H4], for the operator of bounded functions on the Hilbert space H0m(Ω), there is

F[v]=ε2mBm[v,u]+μ2kBk[v,u]+B1[v,u],

where F[v]=(v,f(x,Tu0(x))), and there exists a generalized solution u1(x)H0m(Ω) satisfying

ε2mBm[ψ,u1]+μ2kBk[ψ,u1]+B1[ψ,u1]=(ψ,f(x,Tu0)),(ψ,lu1nl)=(ψ,gl),xΩ,l=1,2,,m1,ψC0(Ω).

Considering iterative method and the following equation

ε2mBm[ψ,ui]+μ2kBk[ψ,ui]+B1[ψ,ui]=(ψ,f(x,Tui1)),(ψ,luinl)=0,xΩ,l=1,2,,m1,ψC0(Ω),

we can obtain the solution ui(x)H0m(Ω) as well as a sequence of functions {uj(x)H0m(Ω),j=0,1,}. Therefore, there exists a generalized solution u(x)H0m(Ω) of the boundary value problems (3)−(4), such that

limj(ψ,uj)=(ψ,u),ψC0(Ω).

Theorem 1 is proved.

3 Outer solution

The reduced problems of (3)−(4) is considered as following:

B1[ψ,u]=(ψ,f(x,Tu)),

(ψ,u)=(ψ,g0(x)),xΩ,ψC0(Ω).

According to assumption [H4], there is a solution w00(x)H0m(Ω)for problems (5)−(6). Let the outer solution w(x,ε,μ) of the generalized boundary value problems (3)−(4) be

w(x,ε,μ)=i,j=0wij(x)εiμj.

Substitute (7) into equations (3)−(4), expand ε,μ, combine the coefficients of powers εiμj, and let the coefficients of like power εiμj(i,j=1,2,,i+j0) be zero. Considering the solution w00 of problems (5)−(6), there are

B1[ψ,wij](ψ,fu(x,Tw00)Twij)=Bm[ψ,w(i2m)(j2m)]Bk[ψ,w(i2k)(j2k)]+(ψ,hij),

(ψ,wij)=0,xΩ,ψC0(Ω).

Here and hereafter, terms with negative subscripts are identically zero, and hij refers to functions successively known in terms of wrs(ri,sj,r+si+j). The solution wij(x) can be obtained successively, and the outer solution (7) is obtained, which may not satisfy the boundary condition (4) for l=1,2,,m1. As a result, the correction terms of boundary layer need to be built near Ω.

4 Correction terms of boundary layer

According to [6], a local coordinate system (ρ,ϕ) is built at each point of a neighborhood of Ω. In the neighborhood 0ρρ0 of Ω, we discuss the generalized nonlinear nonlocal boundary value problem with two parameters:

ε2mB¯m[ψ,u]+μ2kB¯k[ψ,u]+B¯1[ψ,u]=(ψ,f(ρ,ϕ,Tu)),

(ψ,luρl)=(ψ,g¯l),xΩ,l=0,1,,m1,ψC0(0ρρ0),

where

B¯l[ψ,u]1|μ|,|σ|l(Dμψ,a¯μσDσ)u=(ψ,L¯[u]),L¯2m1|ν|,|σ|m(1)|ν|Dν(a¯mνσ(x))Dσ+1|ν|mDνb¯mν,L¯2k1|ν|,|σ|k(1)|ν|Dν(a¯kνσ(x))Dσ+1|ν|kDνb¯kν,

and

D¯n=ρ,D¯j=ϕj,j=1,2,,n1,D¯α=D¯1α1D¯2α2D¯nαn,α=j=1nαj,g¯l(ρ,ϕ)=(1)lgl(x),a¯mnn=i,j=1namijρxiρxj>0,a¯knn=i,j=1nakijρxiρxj>0.

Expressions for a¯mij,a¯kij,b¯mj,b¯kj are omitted, C0(0ρρ0) is the compact subset of C(0ρρ0), and B¯j[v,u] denotes the bilinear operator defined on the Sobolev space Hj(0ρρ0) for bounded functions v and u.

Now construct the first boundary layer correction term V1. Introduce the stretched variable [2]

ξ=ρμ

and

ui,j=0wij(x)εiμj+V1,

where

V1i,j=0vij(ξ,ϕ)σiμj,0<σ=εμ1.

Substitute (12)−(14) into equations (10)−(11), expand σ,μ, and combine the coefficients of power σiμj(i,j=0,1,2,). Set the coefficients of like power σiμj to zero. For σiμj and ψC0(0μξρ0), there are

(D~nψ,a¯knnD~nv100)+(D~1ψ,a¯11D~1v100)=(ψ,fu(0,ϕ,Tv100)Tv100),

(ψ,lv100ξl)=(ψ,g¯l),ξ=0,

(D~nψ,a¯knnD~nv1ij)+(D~1ψ,a¯11D~1v1ij)=(ψ,h¯ij)+G~ij,

(ψ,lv1ijξl)=0,ξ=0,

where l=0,1,,k1,i,j=0,1,,i+j0, G~ij and h¯ij are successively known terms, and

D~n=ξ,D~j=ϕj,j=1,2,,n1,D~α=D~1αD~2αD~nα,α=j=1mαj.

According to (15)−(18), there is v1ij(i,j=0,1,). From (14), we obtain the correction term V1 of the first boundary layer in the neighborhood of Ω, and there is

v1ij=O(exp(kijρμ)),i,j=0,1,,0ρρ0,0<μ1,

where kij(i,j=0,1,) are positive constants.

Then construct correction term V2 of the second boundary layer. Introduce the stretched variable [2]

η=ρζ,ζ=(εmμl)1m+k

and

ui,j=0wijεiμj+V2,

where

V2=i,j=0v2ij(η,ϕ)ζiμj,0<ζ1.

Substitute (20)−(22) into equations (10)−(11), expand ζ,μ, and combine coefficients of power ζiμj(i,j=0,1,2,). Set the coefficients of like power ζiμj to zero. For ζiμj and ψC0(0ζηρ0), there are

(D^nψ,a¯knnD^nv200)+(D^1ψ,a¯11D^1v200)=(ψ,fu(0,ϕ,Tv200)Tv200),

(ψ,lv200ξl)=0,η=0,

(D^nψ,a¯knnD^nv2ij)+(D^1ψ,a¯11D^1v2ij)=(ψ,h^ij)+G^ij,

(ψ,lv2ijξl)=0,η=0,

where l=0,1,,k1,i,j=0,1,,i+j0, G^ij and h^ij are successively known terms, and

D^n=η,D^j=ϕj,j=1,2,,n1,D^α=D^1α1D^2α2D^nαn,α=j=1mαj.

According to (23)−(26), there is v2ij(i,j=0,1,). Then from (22), we obtain the correction term V2 of the second boundary layer in the neighborhood of Ω, and there is

v2ij=O(exp(k¯ijρζ)),i,j=0,1,,0ρρ0,0<ζ1,

where k¯ij(i,j=0,1,) are positive constants.

Note From (22) and (27), as well as εμ0, the thickness of the thin layer for the correction term V2 on the second boundary layer is smaller than that of the correction term V1 on the first boundary layer.

As a result, we obtain the asymptotic solution of the boundary value problems (3)−(4) with two parameters:

ui,j=0wij(x)εiμj+ς(ρ)i,j=0(v1ij(ξ,ϕ)σiμj+v2ij(η,ϕ)ζiμj),

where ς(ρ)C[0,] and it satisfies

ς(ρ)={1,0ρ13ρ0,0,ρ23ρ0.

5 Conclusion

Define the remainder z¯, such that

u=w¯+V¯1+V¯2+z¯,

where

w¯=i,j=0Mwijεiμj,V¯1=i,j=0Mv1ij(ξ,φ)ξiμj,V¯2=i,j=0Mv2ij(η,ϕ)ηiμj,

and w¯,V¯1,V¯2 respectively refer to the outer solution w of the generalized boundary value problems (3)−(4), the Mth order asymptotic representations of the correction term V1 on the first boundary layer, and the Mth order asymptotic representations of the correction term V2 on the second boundary layer.

A priori estimate for z¯ is as follows:

ε2mBm[ψ,z¯]+μ2kBk[ψ,z¯]+B1[ψ,z¯]=ε2mBm[ψ,u(w¯+V¯1+V¯2)]+μ2kBk[ψ,u(w¯+V¯1+V¯2)]+B1[ψ,u(w¯+V¯1+V¯2)]+f(x,T(w¯+V¯1+V¯2+z¯)),ψC0(Ω).

According to z¯H0m(Ω), there are

ε2mBm[z¯,z¯]+μ2kBk[z¯,z¯]+B1[z¯,z¯]=(z¯,ε2mL2m[w¯+V¯1+V¯2]μ2kL2k[w¯+V¯1+V¯2]L2[w¯+V¯1+V¯2])+f(x,T(w¯+V¯1+V¯2+z¯))f(x,T(w¯+V¯1+V¯2)).

Thus, there exists a positive constant C independent of ε and μ, such that

ε2mz¯m2+μ2kz¯k2+z¯12C1{ε2mBm[z¯,z¯]+μ2kBk[z¯,z¯]+B1[z¯,z¯]}.

And

ε2mz¯m2+μ2kz¯k2+z¯12=O(λM+1),0<λ=max(ε,μ,ζ)1.

Hence, there is the following theorem:

Theorem 2  Under assumptions [H1][H4], for sufficiently small ε and μ, the generalized solution of the boundary value problems (3)−(4) satisfies the relations

||u(w¯+V¯1+V¯2)||k=O(λM2k+1),||u(w¯+V¯1+V¯2)||m=O(λM2m+1),0<λ1.
