An efficient boundary-based technique is developed for addressing shape design sensitivity analysis in various problems. An analytical sensitivity formula in the form of a boundary integral is derived based on the continuum formulation for a general functional defined in problems. The formula, which is expressed in terms of the boundary solutions and shape variation vectors, can be conveniently used for gradient computation in a variety of shape design problems. While the sensitivity can be calculated independent of the analysis means, such as the finite element method (FEM) or the boundary element method (BEM), the FEM is used for the analysis in this study because of its popularity and easy-to-use features. The advantage of using a boundary-based method is that the shape variation vectors are needed only on the boundary, not over the whole domain. The boundary shape variation vectors are conveniently computed by using finite perturbations of the shape geometry instead of complex analytical differentiation of the geometry functions. The supercavitating flow problem and fillet problem are chosen to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed methodology. Implementation issues for the sensitivity analysis and optimization procedure are also addressed in these problems.

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of positive solutions for the boundary value problems of the form; $$(1) u"(t) + q(t)g(u(t)) = 0, 0 < t < 1 $$ $$ u(0) = 0 = u(1), $$ where q is singular at 0 and /or 1.or 1.

In this paper a numerical method is presented to solve singularly perturbed two points boundary value problems for second order ordinary differential equations consisting a discontinuous source term. First, in this method, an asymptotic expansion approximation of the solution of the boundary value problem is constructed using the basic ideas of a well known perturbation method WKB. Then some initial value problems and terminal value problems are constructed such that their solutions are the terms of this asymptotic expansion. These initial value problems are happened to be singularly perturbed problems and therefore fitted mesh method (Shishkin mesh) are used to solve these problems. Necessary error estimates are derived and examples provided to illustrate the method.

Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one solution of boundary value problems for higher order nonlinear difference equations are established. We allow $f$ to be at most linear, superlinear or sublinear in obtained results.

In this paper, a fifth order numerical method is presented for solving singularly perturbed differential-difference equations with negative shift. In recent papers the term negative shift has been using for delay. Similar boundary value problems are associated with expected first exit time problem of the membrane, potential in models for neuron and in variational problems in control theory. In the numerical treatment for such type of boundary value problems, first we use Taylor approximation to tackle terms containing small shifts which converts it to a boundary value problem for singularly perturbed differential equation. The two point boundary value problem is transformed into general first order ordinary differential equation system. A discrete approximation of a fifth order compact difference scheme is presented for the first order system and is solved using the boundary conditions. Several numerical examples are solved and compared with exact solution. It is observed that present method approximates the exact solution very well.

In this paper we shall study moving boundary problems, and we introduce an approach for solving a wide range of them by using calculus of variations and optimization. First, we transform the problem equivalently into an optimal control problem by defining an objective function and artificial control functions. By using measure theory, the new problem is modified into one consisting of the minimization of a linear functional over a set of Radon measures; then we obtain an optimal measure which is then approximated by a finite combination of atomic measures and the problem converted to an infinite-dimensional linear programming. We approximate the infinite linear programming to a finite-dimensional linear programming. Then by using the solution of the latter problem we obtain an approximate solution for moving boundary function on specific time. Furthermore, we show the path of moving boundary from initial state to final state.

We investigate some numerical methods for computing approximate solutions of a system of second order boundary value problems associated with obstacle unilateral and contact problems. We show that cubic spline method gives approximations which are better than that computed by higer order spline and finite difference techniques.

In this paper, we develop the method of quasilinearization comvined with the methos of upper and lower solutions for singular second order boundary value problems in weighted spaces. The sequences constructed converge uniformly and monotonically to the unique of the second singular order boundary value problem. Further we prove the rate of convergence is quadratic.

Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one solution of a class of multi-point boundary value problems of the fractional differential equations at resonance are established. The main theorem generalizes and improves those ones in [Liu, B., Solvability of multi-point boundary value problems at resonance(II), Appl. Math. Comput., 136(2003)353-377], see Remark 2.3. An example is presented to illustrate the main results.
