APPROXIMATION BY SPLINE FUNCTIONS OF THE SOLUTION OF A BILOCAL LINEAR PROBLEM

COSTICĂ MUSTĂȚA

In the last years the theory of spline functions has become an important tool in the numerical solving of some problems for differential equations (see, for instance, [1], [2], [4]).
In this paper we shall define a space of spline functions of degree 5 which can be used to approximate the solution of a bilocal linear problem.
Let n ≥ 3 n ≥ 3 n >= 3n \geq 3n≥3 be a natural number and let
Δ n : − ∞ = t − 1 < a = t 0 < t 1 < … < t n = b < t n + 1 = + ∞ Δ n : − ∞ = t − 1 < a = t 0 < t 1 < … < t n = b < t n + 1 = + ∞ Delta_(n):-oo=t_(-1) < a=t_(0) < t_(1) < dots < t_(n)=b < t_(n+1)=+oo\Delta_{n}:-\infty=t_{-1}<a=t_{0}<t_{1}<\ldots<t_{n}=b<t_{n+1}=+\inftyΔn:−∞=t−1<a=t0<t1<…<tn=b<tn+1=+∞
be a division of the real axis.
Denote by S 5 ( Δ n ) S 5 Δ n S_(5)(Delta_(n))S_{5}\left(\Delta_{n}\right)S5(Δn) the set of all functions s: R → R R → R RrarrR\mathbf{R} \rightarrow \mathbf{R}R→R having the following properties:
1 0 s ∈ C 4 ( R ) 1 0 s ∈ C 4 ( R ) 1^(0)s inC^(4)(R)1^{0} s \in C^{4}(\mathrm{R})10s∈C4(R).
2 0 s | I k ∈ P 5 , I k = [ t k − 1 , t k ) , k = 1 , 2 , … , n 2 0 s I k ∈ P 5 , I k = t k − 1 , t k , k = 1 , 2 , … , n 2^(0)s|_(I_(k))inP_(5),I_(k)=[t_(k-1),t_(k)),k=1,2,dots,n\left.2^{0} s\right|_{I_{k}} \in \mathscr{P}_{5}, I_{k}=\left[t_{k-1}, t_{k}\right), k=1,2, \ldots, n20s|Ik∈P5,Ik=[tk−1,tk),k=1,2,…,n.
3 0 s | I 0 ∈ P 3 , s | I n + 1 ∈ P 3 , I 0 = ( t − 1 , t 0 ) , I n + 1 = [ t n , t n + 1 ) 3 0 s I 0 ∈ P 3 , s I n + 1 ∈ P 3 , I 0 = t − 1 , t 0 , I n + 1 = t n , t n + 1 3^(0)s|_(I_(0))inP_(3),s|_(I_(n+1))inP_(3),I_(0)=(t_(-1),t_(0)),I_(n+1)=[t_(n),t_(n+1))\left.3^{0} s\right|_{I_{0}} \in \mathscr{P}_{3},\left.s\right|_{I_{n+1}} \in \mathscr{P}_{3}, I_{0}=\left(t_{-1}, t_{0}\right), I_{n+1}=\left[t_{n}, t_{n+1}\right)30s|I0∈P3,s|In+1∈P3,I0=(t−1,t0),In+1=[tn,tn+1).
THEOREM 1. If s ∈ S 5 ( Δ n ) s ∈ S 5 Δ n s inS_(5)(Delta_(n))s \in S_{5}\left(\Delta_{n}\right)s∈S5(Δn), then
(1) s ( t ) = ∑ i = 0 3 A i t i + ∑ k = 0 n a k ( t − t k ) + 5 , t ∈ R , (1) s ( t ) = ∑ i = 0 3   A i t i + ∑ k = 0 n   a k t − t k + 5 , t ∈ R , {:(1)s(t)=sum_(i=0)^(3)A_(i)t^(i)+sum_(k=0)^(n)a_(k)(t-t_(k))_(+)^(5)","quad t inR",":}\begin{equation*} s(t)=\sum_{i=0}^{3} A_{i} t^{i}+\sum_{k=0}^{n} a_{k}\left(t-t_{k}\right)_{+}^{5}, \quad t \in \mathrm{R}, \tag{1} \end{equation*}(1)s(t)=∑i=03Aiti+∑k=0nak(t−tk)+5,t∈R,
where
(2) ∑ k = 0 n a k = 0 and ∑ k = 0 n a k t k = 0 (2) ∑ k = 0 n   a k = 0  and  ∑ k = 0 n   a k t k = 0 {:(2)sum_(k=0)^(n)a_(k)=0quad" and "quadsum_(k=0)^(n)a_(k)t_(k)=0:}\begin{equation*} \sum_{k=0}^{n} a_{k}=0 \quad \text { and } \quad \sum_{k=0}^{n} a_{k} t_{k}=0 \tag{2} \end{equation*}(2)∑k=0nak=0 and ∑k=0naktk=0
Proof. Let s ∈ S 5 ( Δ n ) s ∈ S 5 Δ n s inS_(5)(Delta_(n))s \in S_{5}\left(\Delta_{n}\right)s∈S5(Δn). If t ≥ b t ≥ b t >= bt \geq bt≥b, then s ( 4 ) ( t ) = 0 s ( 4 ) ( t ) = 0 s^((4))(t)=0s^{(4)}(t)=0s(4)(t)=0 so that
0 = 5 ! ∑ k = 0 n a k ( t − t k ) + = 5 ! ∑ k = 0 n a k ( t − t k ) + because 0 = 5 ! ∑ k = 0 n   a k t − t k + = 5 ! ∑ k = 0 n   a k t − t k + because  0=5!sum_(k=0)^(n)a_(k)(t-t_(k))_(+)=5!sum_(k=0)^(n)a_(k)(t-t_(k))_(+)"because "0=5!\sum_{k=0}^{n} a_{k}\left(t-t_{k}\right)_{+}=5!\sum_{k=0}^{n} a_{k}\left(t-t_{k}\right)_{+} \text {because }0=5!∑k=0nak(t−tk)+=5!∑k=0nak(t−tk)+because

Consequently ∑ k = 0 n a k = 0 ∑ k = 0 n   a k = 0 sum_(k=0)^(n)a_(k)=0\sum_{k=0}^{n} a_{k}=0∑k=0nak=0 and ∑ k = 0 n a k t k = 0 ∑ k = 0 n   a k t k = 0 sum_(k=0)^(n)a_(k)t_(k)=0\sum_{k=0}^{n} a_{k} t_{k}=0∑k=0naktk=0.

Proof. a) Using the representation (1) and taking into account conditions (4), we obtain the system

The system (7) has a unique solution if and only if the associated homogeneous system (obtained for α 1 = β 1 = 0 , λ k = 0 , k = 0 , 1 , … , n α 1 = β 1 = 0 , λ k = 0 , k = 0 , 1 , … , n alpha_(1)=beta_(1)=0,lambda_(k)=0,k=0,1,dots,n\alpha_{1}=\beta_{1}=0, \lambda_{k}=0, k=0,1, \ldots, nα1=β1=0,λk=0,k=0,1,…,n ) has only the trivial solution. Suppose that s ∈ S 5 ( Δ n ) s ∈ S 5 Δ n s inS_(5)(Delta_(n))s \in S_{5}\left(\Delta_{n}\right)s∈S5(Δn) verifies the homogeneous conditions (4) (i.e., α 1 = β 1 = 0 , λ k ′ ′ = 0 , k = 0 , 1 , … , n ) α 1 = β 1 = 0 , λ k ′ ′ = 0 , k = 0 , 1 , … , n {:alpha_(1)=beta_(1)=0,lambda_(k)^('')=0,k=0,1,dots,n)\left.\alpha_{1}=\beta_{1}=0, \lambda_{k}^{\prime \prime}=0, k=0,1, \ldots, n\right)α1=β1=0,λk′′=0,k=0,1,…,n). Then we have

where c k = s ( 5 ) ( t ) | I k ′ k = 1 , n ― c k = s ( 5 ) ( t ) I k ′ k = 1 , n ¯ c_(k)=s^((5))(t)|_(I_(k)^('))k= bar(1,n)c_{k}=\left.s^{(5)}(t)\right|_{I_{k}^{\prime}} k=\overline{1, n}ck=s(5)(t)|Ik′k=1,n―.
It follows that s ( 4 ) = 0 s ( 4 ) = 0 s^((4))=0s^{(4)}=0s(4)=0, for all t ∈ [ a , b ] t ∈ [ a , b ] t in[a,b]t \in[a, b]t∈[a,b]. Since s ∈ P 3 s ∈ P 3 s inP_(3)s \in \mathscr{P}_{3}s∈P3 on I 0 I 0 I_(0)I_{0}I0 and on I n + 1 I n + 1 I_(n+1)I_{n+1}In+1 and s ∈ C 4 ( R ) s ∈ C 4 ( R ) s inC^(4)(R)s \in \mathbf{C}^{4}(\mathbf{R})s∈C4(R), it follows that s ( 4 ) ( t ) = 0 s ( 4 ) ( t ) = 0 s^((4))(t)=0s^{(4)}(t)=0s(4)(t)=0 for all t ∈ R t ∈ R t inRt \in \mathbf{R}t∈R, implying s ′ ′ ∈ P 1 s ′ ′ ∈ P 1 s^('')inP_(1)s^{\prime \prime} \in \mathscr{P}_{1}s′′∈P1. As s ′ ′ ( t k ) = 0 s ′ ′ t k = 0 s^('')(t_(k))=0s^{\prime \prime}\left(t_{k}\right)=0s′′(tk)=0, k = 0 , 1 , … , n , ( n ≥ 3 ) k = 0 , 1 , … , n , ( n ≥ 3 ) k=0,1,dots,n,(n >= 3)k=0,1, \ldots, n,(n \geq 3)k=0,1,…,n,(n≥3) we conclude that s ′ ′ ( t ) = 0 s ′ ′ ( t ) = 0 s^('')(t)=0s^{\prime \prime}(t)=0s′′(t)=0 for all t ∈ R t ∈ R t inRt \in \mathbf{R}t∈R.
Finally, taking into account the equalities s ( a ) = s ( b ) = 0 s ( a ) = s ( b ) = 0 s(a)=s(b)=0s(a)=s(b)=0s(a)=s(b)=0, one obtains s ( t ) = 0 s ( t ) = 0 s(t)=0s(t)=0s(t)=0 for all t ∈ R t ∈ R t inRt \in \mathbf{R}t∈R, implying that all the coefficients in representation (1) are null. This shows that the homogeneous system associated to (7) has only the trivial solution.
Assertion b) can be proved similarly, supposing that the function s s sss given by (1) verifies conditions (6).
