| Abstract |
A high-precision effective numerical-analytical method is presented
for solving nonlinear boundary-value problems for the Euler-Lagrange
equation subject to various boundary conditions. The computational
algorithm is based on a non-standard approach employing the dependence
of the missing initial (or terminal) value of the variable on the length
of the interval and introducing a small variable of the boundary-value
problem in an original way. A recurrence procedure involving
numerical solution of initial value problems (Cauchy problems)
is suggested for successive
refinement of this value and the desired solution. This procedure
has a quadratic convergence with respect to the small parameter
characterizing the relative residual of the approximate solution with
respect to the argument. The method is developed for boundary conditions
of the first and second kinds, as well as for nonlinear boundary
conditions of the third kind. A modification of this algorithm is
suggested utilizing the residual of the solution of the Cauchy problem at
the terminal point. The algorithm is tested by solving and analyzing
essentially nonlinear case problems from magnetic hydrodynamics and
propagation of rays in nonhomogeneous media satisfying Fermat's principle. |
