Abstract

This paper is concerned with finite difference solutions of a class of fourth-order nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems. The nonlinear function is not necessarily monotone. A new monotone iterative technique is developed, and three basic monotone iterative processes for the finite difference system are constructed. Several theoretical comparison results among the various monotone sequences are given. A simple and easily verified condition is obtained to guarantee a geometric convergence of the iterations. Numerical results for a model problem with known analytical solution are given.
