Abstract
This work proposes a hybrid numerical strategy to effectively solve the singularly perturbed partial differential equations (SPPDEs) with integral boundary conditions and substantial spatial delays. For the time discretization, the Crank-Nicolson scheme was chosen because of its stability and second-order precision. In order to maximize accuracy in the vicinity of layers coming from the tiny perturbation parameter and delay parameter, the computational implementation will be carried out using a non-uniform Shishkin-type mesh for spatial discretization using cubic spline interpolation. The approach is tested numerically to verify its robustness and efficiency with respect to integral boundary conditions and delayed feedback. Applications to reaction-diffusion systems, catalytic reactions in porous media, and transport-reaction dynamics in tubular reactors are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Mathematical Chemistry (JOMC) publishes original, chemically important mathematical results which use non-routine mathematical methodologies often unfamiliar to the usual audience of mainstream experimental and theoretical chemistry journals. Furthermore JOMC publishes papers on novel applications of more familiar mathematical techniques and analyses of chemical problems which indicate the need for new mathematical approaches.
Mathematical chemistry is a truly interdisciplinary subject, a field of rapidly growing importance. As chemistry becomes more and more amenable to mathematically rigorous study, it is likely that chemistry will also become an alert and demanding consumer of new mathematical results. The level of complexity of chemical problems is often very high, and modeling molecular behaviour and chemical reactions does require new mathematical approaches. Chemistry is witnessing an important shift in emphasis: simplistic models are no longer satisfactory, and more detailed mathematical understanding of complex chemical properties and phenomena are required. From theoretical chemistry and quantum chemistry to applied fields such as molecular modeling, drug design, molecular engineering, and the development of supramolecular structures, mathematical chemistry is an important discipline providing both explanations and predictions. JOMC has an important role in advancing chemistry to an era of detailed understanding of molecules and reactions.
