Approximation ofa semilinear elliptic problem in an unbounded domain
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2003
Abstract
Let f be an odd function of a class C2 such that ƒ(1) = 0,ƒ'(0) < 0,ƒ'(1) > 0 and $x\mapsto f(x)/x$ increases on
[0,1]. We approximate the positive solution of Δu + ƒ(u) = 0, on $
\xR_{+}^{2}$
with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions by the
solution of $-\Delta u_{L}+f(u_{L})=0,$
on ]0,L[2 with adequate
non-homogeneous Dirichlet conditions.
We show that the error uL - u
tends to zero exponentially fast, in the uniform norm.
