Description
Summary:The steady-state form of the Klein-Gordon equation is given by ( ∗ ) (^\ast ) \[ Δ u = u − u 3 , u = u ( X ) , X ∈ R 3 . \Delta u = u - {u^3},\quad u = u(X),\quad X \in {R^3}. \] For solutions which are spherically symmetric, ( ∗ ) (^\ast ) takes the form u ¨ + 2 u ˙ / r = u − u 3 \ddot u + 2\dot u/r = u - {u^3} , u = u ( r ) u = u(r) , where r is the distance from the origin in R 3 {R^3} . The function y = r u y = ru satisfies ( ∗ ∗ ) {(^\ast }^\ast ) \[ y ¨ = y − y 3 / r 2 . \ddot y = y - {y^3}/{r^2}. \] It is known that ( ∗ ∗ ) {(^\ast }^\ast ) has solutions { y n } n = 0 ∞ \{ {y_n}\} _{n = 0}^\infty , where y n {y_n} has exactly n zeros in ( 0 , ∞ ) (0,\infty ) , and where y ( 0 ) = y ( ∞ ) = 0 y(0) = y(\infty ) = 0 . In this paper, an approximation is obtained for the solution y 0 {y_0} by minimizing a certain functional over a class of functions of the form \[ ∑ k = − m m a k sinc [ r − k h m h m ] . \sum \limits _{k = - m}^m {{a_k}\;} {\operatorname {sinc}}\left [ {\frac {{r - k{h_m}}}{{{h_m}}} \right ]. \] It is shown that the norm of the error is O ( m 3 / 8 exp ⁡ ( − α m 1 / 2 ) ) O({m^{3/8}}\exp ( - \alpha m^{1/2})) as m → ∞ m \to \infty , where α \alpha is positive.
