9. Estimates of the Error of Averaging Method for Multipoint Problems in Critical Case

Back

In this section, we consider a multipoint problem of the form

dx

dτ

= a(x, τ, ε) + εA(x, ϕ, τ, ε),

dϕ

dτ

= ω(x, τ, ε)

ε

+ B(x, ϕ, τ, ε), (9.1)

F(x|τ=τ1, . . . , x|τ=τr, ε) = 0, (9.2)

Φ(x|τ=τ1, . . . , x|τ=τr, ϕ|τ=τ1, . . . , ϕ|τ=τr, ε) = 0, (9.3)

where F(p1, . . . , pr, ε) and Φ(p1, . . . , pr, q1, . . . , qr, ε) are, respectively, n-dimensional

and m-dimensional vector functions of the variables pj D, qj

Rm, j = 1, r, and ε (0, ε0], and 0 τ1 < τ2 < ... < τr L, r 2.

The main difference between this problem and problem (8.1), (8.3) lies in the

fact that, first, in problem (9.1)–(9.3) the group of boundary conditions dependent

only on slow variables is selected, and, second, in conditions (9.3) the function Φ

depends only on the arguments ϕ|τ=τj , whereas in conditions (8.3) it depends on

εϕ|τ=τj .

We also consider the corresponding averaged problem

= a(x, τ, ε) + εA(x, τ, ε), F(x|τ=τ1, . . . , x|τ=τr, ε) = 0, (9.4)

ν = 1, r.

If the numbers α1 and α2 in inequalities (9.6) and (9.7) are positive, then

the norms of the matrices P

natural to call this case critical. Below, we study the question of the solvability of

problem (9.1)–(9.3) in the critical case and establish estimates for the deviation of

solutions of the original and averaged problems.

In what follows, we assume that, for every fixed ε (0, ε0], the functions

F(p1, . . . , pr, ε) and Φ(p1, . . . , qr, ε) are twice continuously differentiable with

respect to pj D and qj Rm, j = 1, r, and

Theorem 9.1. Suppose that the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) for every ε (0, ε0], the averaged problem (9.4), (9.5) has a unique solution

(x(τ, y0, ε), ϕ(τ, y0, ψ0, ε)) whose slow variables x(τ, y0, ε) belong

to D together with their ρ-neighborhoods;

(ii) conditions (8.2), (8.7), and (9.6)–(9.8) for α > α1 + 2α2 are satisfied.

Then, for sufficiently small ε0 > 0 and every ε (0, ε0], problem (9.1)–(9.3)

has a unique solution (x(τ, ε); ϕ(τ, ε)) that satisfies the following inequalities for

any τ [0, L]:

_x(τ, ε) x(τ, y0, ε)_ c15ε1+αα1 ,

_ϕ(τ, ε) ϕ(τ, y0, ψ0, ε)_ c15εαα1α2 ,

(9.9)

where the constant c15 does not depend on ε.

Proof. We determine the unknown parameters (y; ψ) of the solution

(x(τ, y0 + y,ψ0 + ψ, ε); ϕ(τ, y0 + y,ψ0 + ψ, ε)) of system (9.1) from conditions

(9.2) and (9.3). We rewrite (9.2) in the form

T(y, ψ, ε). (9.10)

Using the estimate of the error of the averaging method (8.8) and inequalities

(9.8), we obtain

_F(x(τ1, y0 + y,ψ0 + ψ, ε), . . . , ε) F(x(τ1, y0 + y, ε), . . . , ε)_

c4c14rε1+α. (9.11)

Further, using representations (8.13), inequalities (9.8), and condition (9.4), we

get

F(x(τ1, y0 + y, ε), . . . , ε) = P1(y0, ε)y + _ F(y, ε),

where _ _ F(y, ε)_ c16_y_2 and c16 = const. Using this equality and inequalities

(9.6) and (9.9), we obtain the following estimate for T(y, ψ, ε):

_T(y, ψ, ε)_ c12(c4c14r + c16_y_2ε

1α)ε1+αα1 .

This estimate implies that T(y, ψ, ε) maps the set

_y_ c17ε1+αα1, c17 = 2rc4c12c14,

the function y(ψ, ε) satisfies the Lipschitz condition

_y(ψ1, ε) y(ψ2, ε)_ c23ε1+αα1_ψ1 ψ2_ ψ1, ψ2 Rm. (9.13)

We rewrite equality (8.3) in the form

Inequalities (9.15) and (9.16) yield

_ _ T(ψ, ε)_ c26(εαα1α2 + ε

This implies that _ T(ψ, ε) maps the set

Let ψ(1) and ψ(2) be arbitrary points of the set U. Using the error estimates

Since α > α1 +2α2, the last inequality implies that the mapping _ T : U U is

and, hence, there exists the solution

(x(τ, ε); ϕ(τ, ε)) = (x(τ, y0 + y(ψ0(ε), ε), ψ0 + ψ0(ε), ε);

ϕ(τ, y0 + y(ψ0(ε), ε), ψ0 + ψ0(ε), ε))

of problem (9.1)–(9.3). Estimates (9.9) follow from estimates (8.8) and the inequalities

and the condition c15ε1+αα1

106 Averaging Method in Multipoint Problems Chapter 2

then the inequality α > α1 + 2α2 in Theorem 9.1 can be weakened to the inequality

α > α1 + α2. Indeed, in this case, the analysis of inequalities (9.17)

and (9.18) shows that all conditions of the principle of contracting mappings are

satisfied for α > α1 + α2.

Then, for sufficiently small ε0 > 0 and every ε (0, ε0], there exists a

for which the curve x = x(τ, ε) lies in a certain small neighborhood of the curve

y = y(τ, ε).

Proof. Since the right-hand sides of Eqs. (9.22) are smooth, there exists a

for _z_ ρ(4K)1 and ε ε0 ρ(4KLc1)1. Here, K is a constant that

bounds the norm of the matrix Q(τ, t) (τ, t) [0, L] × [0, L]. This implies

108 Averaging Method in Multipoint Problems Chapter 2

that, for indicated z and ε (0, ε0], the solution x = x(τ, z + _x, ε) of the

Cauchy problem can be extended for any τ [0, L] and lies in D together with

its

2ρ-neighborhood.

Let us prove that z can be chosen so that the function x = x(τ, z + _x, ε) is a

Taking into account the first inequality in condition (i) of the lemma and restrictions

the set of vectors z Rn such that _z_ cε, c = c1c28c29rKL, into itself,
