Due to its importance the impulse-pulse response function could be named. .contrast function". A similar function called Green s function is well known from the linear boundary value problems. The signal theory, applied for LLI-systems, gives a strong possibility for the comparison of different magnet field sensor systems and for solutions of inverse 2D- and 3D-eddy-current problems. 

This treatment of reaction at the limit of bulk diffusion control is essentially the same as that presented by HugoC 69j. It is attractive computationally, since only a single two-point boundary value problem must be solved, namely that posed by equations (11.15) and conditions (11.16). This must be re-solved each time the size of the pellet is changed, since the pellet radius a appears in the boundary conditions. However, the initial value problem for equations (11.12) need be solved only once as a preliminary to solving (11.15) and (11.16) for any number of different pellet sizes. 

In this chapter we analyse a wide class of equilibrium problems with cracks. It is well known that the classical approach to the crack problem is characterized by the equality type boundary conditions considered at the crack faces, in particular, the crack faces are considered to be stress-free (Cherepanov, 1979, 1983 Kachanov, 1974 Morozov, 1984). This means that displacements found as solutions of these boundary value problems do not satisfy nonpenetration conditions. There are practical examples showing that interpenetration of crack faces may occur in these cases. An essential feature of our consideration is that restrictions of Signorini type are considered at the crack faces which do not allow the opposite crack faces to penetrate each other. The restrictions can be written as inequalities for the displacement vector. As a result a complete set of boundary conditions at crack faces is written as a system of equations and inequalities. The presence of inequality type boundary conditions implies the boundary problems to be nonlinear, which requires the investigation of corresponding boundary value problems. In the chapter, plates and shells with cracks are considered. Properties of solutions are established existence of solutions, regularity up to the crack faces, convergence of solutions as parameters of a system are varying and so on. We analyse different constitutive laws elastic, viscoelastic. 

The boundary value problem (3.144), (3.147), (3.148) is analogous to that considered in the previous section. The only difference between these problems is that instead of (3.146), in the previous section the following condition. 

Diffusion problems in one dimension lead to boundaiy value problems. The boundaiy conditions are applied at two different spatial locations at one side the concentration may be fixed and at the other side the flux may be fixed. Because the conditions are specified at two different locations, the problems are not initial value in character. It is not possible to begin at one position and integrate directly because at least one of the conditions is specified somewhere else and there are not enough conditions to begin the calculation. Thus, methods have been developed especially for boundary value problems. 

Rigorous error bounds are discussed for linear ordinary differential equations solved with the finite difference method by Isaacson and Keller (Ref. 107). Computer software exists to solve two-point boundary value problems. The IMSL routine DVCPR uses the finite difference method with a variable step size (Ref. 247). Finlayson (Ref. 106) gives FDRXN for reaction problems. 

Parabolic Equations m One Dimension By combining the techniques apphed to initial value problems and boundary value problems it is possible to easily solve parabolic equations in one dimension. The method is often called the method of lines. It is illustrated here using the finite difference method, but the Galerldn finite element method and the orthogonal collocation method can also be combined with initial value methods in similar ways. The analysis is done by example. 

Elliptic Equations Elhptic equations can be solved with both finite difference and finite element methods. One-dimensional elhptic problems are two-point boundary value problems. Two- and three-dimensional elliptic problems are often solved with iterative methods when the finite difference method is used and direct methods when the finite element method is used. So there are two aspects to consider howthe equations are discretized to form sets of algebraic equations and howthe algebraic equations are then solved. 

If the boundaiy is parallel to a coordinate axis any derivative is evaluated as in the section on boundary value problems, using either a onesided, centered difference or a false boundary. If the boundary is more irregular and not parallel to a coordinate line then more complicated expressions are needed and the finite element method may be the better method. 

In the present section a direct method for solving the boundary-value problems associated with second-order difference equations will be the subject of special investigations.

It is necessary to specify two conditions for the complete posing of this or that problem. The assigned values of y and Ay suit us perfectly and lie in the background a widespread classification which will be used in the sequel. When equation (6) is put together with the values yi and A yi given at one point, they are referred to as the Cauchy problem. Combination of two conditions at different nonneighboring points with equation (6) leads to a boundary-value problem. 

For the second-order difference equations capable of describing the basic mathematical-physics problems, boundary-value problems with additional conditions given at different points are more typical. For example, if we know the value for z = 0 and the value for i = N, the corresponding boundary-value problem can be formulated as follows it is necessary to find the solution yi, 0 < i < N, of problem (6) satisfying the boundary conditions... 

Difference equations with a symmetric matrix are typical in numerical solution of boundary-value problems associated with self-adjoint differential equations of second order. In what follows we will show that the condition Bi = is necessary and sufficient for the operator [yj] be self-adjoint. As can readily be observed, any difference equation of the form...

Remark The third difference boundary-value problem for Poisson s equation can always be represented in the form (38), equation (38) being satisfied for all X E and conditions (39) being valid. Here, in addition, D > > 0 on 7,. 

In the case of the second boundary-value problem with dv/dn = 0, the boundary condition of second-order approximation is imposed on 7, as a first preliminary step. It is not difficult to verify directly that the difference eigenvalue problem of second-order approximation with the second kind boundary conditions is completely posed by... 

In this chapter difference schemes for the simplest time-dependent equations are studied, namely, for the heat conduction equation with one or more spatial variables, the one-dimensional transfer equation and the equation of vibrations of a string. Two-layer and three-layer schemes are designed for the first, second and third boundary-value problems. Stability is investigated by different methods such as the method of separation of variables and the method of energy inequalities as well as by means of the maximum principle. Asymptotic stability of difference schemes is discovered for the heat conduction equation in ascertaining the viability of difference approximations. Finally, stability theory is being used, increasingly, to help us understand a variety of phenomena, so it seems worthwhile to discuss it in full details. 

Thus, the difference problem (4)-(5) is completely posed. With regard to y = we set up on the basis of (4) the boundary-value problem... 

The difference boundary-value problem associated with the difference equation (7) of second order can be solved by the standard elimination method, whose computational algorithm is stable, since the conditions Ai 0, Ci > Ai -f Tj+i are certainly true for cr > 0. 

The meaning of the boundary condition (12) is known to us. On the other hand, condition (13), which assigns the boundary value y, needs certain clarification. In this way, the difference boundary-value problem (9)-(14) can be put in correspondence with problem (7). The method for solving this difference problem is mostly based on alternative forms of equations (9)-(10) ... 

Direct and iterative methods. Recall that the final results of the difference approximation of boundary-value problems associated with elliptic equations from Chapter 4 were various systems of linear algebraic equations (difference or grid equations). The sizes of the appropriate matrices are extra large and equal the total number N of the grid nodes. For... 

When solving difference boundary-value problems for Poisson s equation in rectangular, angular, cylindrical and spherical systems of coordinates direct economical methods are widely used that are known to us as the decomposition method and the method of separation of variables. The calculations in both methods for two-dimensional problems require Q arithmetic operations, Q — 0 N og. N), where N is the number of the grid nodes along one of the directions.

Consider Equations (6-10) that represent the CVD reactor problem. This is a boundary value problem in which the dependent variables are velocities (u,V,W), temperature T, and mass fractions Y. The mathematical software is a stand-alone boundary value solver whose first application was to compute the structure of premixed flames.Subsequently, we have applied it to the simulation of well stirred reactors,and now chemical vapor deposition reactors. The user interface to the mathematical software requires that, given an estimate of the dependent variable vector, the user can return the residuals of the governing equations. That is, for arbitrary values of velocity, temperature, and mass fraction, by how much do the left hand sides of Equations (6-10) differ from zero ... 

This means that any solutions of Poisson s equation, for instance U ip) and U2(p), can differ from each other at every point of the volume Fby a constant only, if their normal derivatives coincide on the boundary surface S. Thus, this boundary value problem defines also uniquely the field of attraction, and it can be written as... 

At the same time it is worth to notice that in modern numerical methods of a solution of boundary value problems, based on replacement of differential equations by finite difference, these steps are performed simultaneously. In accordance with the theorem of uniqueness, the field inside the volume V is defined by a distribution of masses inside this volume and boundary conditions, and correspondingly it is natural to derive an equation establishing this link. With this purpose in mind we will again proceed from Gauss s theorem,... 

This is one of the main reasons why these functions play a very important role in solving boundary value problems. Also, between Legendre s polynomials of different order, there is a simple recursive relationship ...
