New results concerning the DWR method for some nonconforming FEM

Reiner Vanselow (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper presents a unified framework for the dual-weighted residual (DWR) method for a class of nonconforming FEM. Our approach is based on a modification of the dual problem and uses various ideas from literature which are combined in a new manner. The results are new error identities for some nonconforming FEM. Additionally, a posteriori error estimates with respect to the discrete H 1 -seminorm are derived.

Nonuniqueness for some linear oblique derivative problems for elliptic equations

Gary M. Lieberman (1999)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

It is well-known that the “standard” oblique derivative problem, Δ u = 0 in Ω , u / ν - u = 0 on Ω ( ν is the unit inner normal) has a unique solution even when the boundary condition is not assumed to hold on the entire boundary. When the boundary condition is modified to satisfy an obliqueness condition, the behavior at a single boundary point can change the uniqueness result. We give two simple examples to demonstrate what can happen.

Nouvelles formulations intégrales pour les problèmes de diffraction d’ondes

David P. Levadoux, Bastiaan L. Michielsen (2004)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We present an integral equation method for solving boundary value problems of the Helmholtz equation in unbounded domains. The method relies on the factorisation of one of the Calderón projectors by an operator approximating the exterior admittance (Dirichlet to Neumann) operator of the scattering obstacle. We show how the pseudo-differential calculus allows us to construct such approximations and that this yields integral equations without internal resonances and being well-conditioned at all frequencies....

Numerical analysis of the MFS for certain harmonic problems

Yiorgos-Sokratis Smyrlis, Andreas Karageorghis (2004)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS) is a boundary-type meshless method for the solution of certain elliptic boundary value problems. In this work, we investigate the properties of the matrices that arise when the MFS is applied to the Dirichlet problem for Laplace’s equation in a disk. In particular, we study the behaviour of the eigenvalues of these matrices and the cases in which they vanish. Based on this, we propose a modified efficient numerical algorithm for the solution of the problem...

Numerical simulations for nodal domains and spectral minimal partitions

Virginie Bonnaillie-Noël, Bernard Helffer, Gregory Vial (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We recall here some theoretical results of Helffer et al. [Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Anal. Non Linéaire (2007) doi:10.1016/j.anihpc.2007.07.004] about minimal partitions and propose numerical computations to check some of their published or unpublished conjectures and exhibit new ones.

Numerical study of natural superconvergence in least-squares finite element methods for elliptic problems

Runchang Lin, Zhimin Zhang (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

Natural superconvergence of the least-squares finite element method is surveyed for the one- and two-dimensional Poisson equation. For two-dimensional problems, both the families of Lagrange elements and Raviart-Thomas elements have been considered on uniform triangular and rectangular meshes. Numerical experiments reveal that many superconvergence properties of the standard Galerkin method are preserved by the least-squares finite element method.

Numerical study of two sparse AMG-methods

Janne Martikainen (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

A sparse algebraic multigrid method is studied as a cheap and accurate way to compute approximations of Schur complements of matrices arising from the discretization of some symmetric and positive definite partial differential operators. The construction of such a multigrid is discussed and numerical experiments are used to verify the properties of the method.
