Solving Third-Order Singularly Perturbed Problems: Exponentially and Polynomially Fitted Trial Functions

摘要

For the third-order linearly singularly perturbed problems under four different types boundary conditions, we develop a weak-form integral equation method (WFIEM) to find the singular solution. In the WFIEM the exponentially and polynomially fitted trial functions are designed to satisfy the boundary conditions automatically, while the test functions satisfy the adjoint boundary conditions exactly. The WFIEM provides accurate and stable solutions to the highly singular third-order problems.
