Abstract

This article completes the study of the influence of the intensity parameter α\alpha in the boundary condition ενεuεuεVενε=εαφε\varepsilon \partial_{\boldsymbol{\nu}_\varepsilon} u_\varepsilon - u_\varepsilon \, \overrightarrow{V_\varepsilon}\boldsymbol{\cdot}\boldsymbol{\nu}_\varepsilon = \varepsilon^{\alpha} \varphi_\varepsilon given on the boundary of a thin three-dimensional graph-like network consisting of thin cylinders that are interconnected by small domains (nodes) with diameters of order O(ε).\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon). Inside of the thin network a time-dependent convection-diffusion equation with high P\'eclet number of order O(ε1)\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^{-1}) is considered. The novelty of this article is the case of α<1,\alpha <1, which indicates a strong intensity of physical processes on the boundary, described by the inhomogeneity φε\varphi_\varepsilon (the cases α=1\alpha =1 and α>1\alpha >1 were previously studied by the same authors). A complete Puiseux asymptotic expansion is constructed for the solution uεu_\varepsilon as ε0,\varepsilon \to 0, i.e., when the diffusion coefficients are eliminated and the thin network shrinks into a graph. Furthermore, the corresponding uniform pointwise and energy estimates are proved, which provide an approximation of the solution with a given accuracy in terms of the parameter ε.\varepsilon.
