THE INITIAL-BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR A SINGULARLY PERTURBED PARABOLIC EQUATION IN THE CASE OF DOUBLE AND TRIPLE ROOT OF THE DEGENERATE EQUATION

The article considers two initial-boundary value problems for a singularly perturbed parabolic equation ε 2 (ut − ∆u) = f(u, x, y, t, ε), (x, y, t) ∈ g × (0 < t ≤ T), where ε is a small positive parameter, ∆ is the Laplas operator, for cases where degenerate equation f(u, x, y, t, 0) = 0 has root u = φ(x, y, t) of multiplicity 2 or 3. Conditions are determined in each case for the problem to have a solution of boundary-layer type. Asymptotics are found and justified for epsilon ε −→ 0, which consist of a regular part and a few boundary-layer series. Unlike a well-known case of a single root of degenerate equation, boundarylayer solution asymptotic in case of a multiple root is constructed as a series in fractional powers of the small parameter, and these powers as well as scales of boundary layer variables depend on a multiplicity of the degenerate equation root. Another substantial difference is that three-zones of the boundary layer in a neighborhood of the initial time exist. These zones differ in decay behavior of boundary-level functions and scales of boundary-level value. The existing algorithm for constructing boundary-layer functions in case of a single root gives unacceptable results and needs significant modifications. This holds for boundary-layer functions describing boundary-layer behavior of the solution in a neighborhood of initial time as well as for angular boundarylayer functions, which play role in a neighborhood of the curve ∂g × (t = 0). Proposed here modified algorithm allows for constructing unified boundarylevel functions for all three boundary-layer zones. This is an advantage of this method in comparison to the method of coordination of asymptotic decomposition, where a separate asymptotic is found for each zone and then they are coordinated with each other. Asymptotic justification (i.e. existence of the solution with this asymptotic) is made using the asymptotic method of differential inequalities, that is lower and higher solutions of the problem are found using formal asymptotics.
