Error estimates for a FitzHugh–Nagumo parameter-dependent reaction-diffusion system

Konstantinos Chrysafinos, Sotirios P. Filopoulos, Theodosios K. Papathanasiou (2013)

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

Space-time approximations of the FitzHugh–Nagumo system of coupled semi-linear parabolic PDEs are examined. The schemes under consideration are discontinuous in time but conforming in space and of arbitrary order. Stability estimates are presented in the natural energy norms and at arbitrary times, under minimal regularity assumptions. Space-time error estimates of arbitrary order are derived, provided that the natural parabolic regularity is present. Various physical parameters appearing in the...

Error estimates for barycentric finite volumes combined with nonconforming finite elements applied to nonlinear convection-diffusion problems

Vít Dolejší, Miloslav Feistauer, Jiří Felcman, Alice Kliková (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

The subject of the paper is the derivation of error estimates for the combined finite volume-finite element method used for the numerical solution of nonstationary nonlinear convection-diffusion problems. Here we analyze the combination of barycentric finite volumes associated with sides of triangulation with the piecewise linear nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart finite elements. Under some assumptions on the regularity of the exact solution, the L 2 ( L 2 ) and L 2 ( H 1 ) error estimates are established. At the end...

Error estimates for distributed parameter identification in parabolic problems with output least squares and Crank-Nicolson method

Tommi Kärkkäinen (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

The identification problem of a functional coefficient in a parabolic equation is considered. For this purpose an output least squares method is introduced, and estimates of the rate of convergence for the Crank-Nicolson time discretization scheme are proved, the equation being approximated with the finite element Galerkin method with respect to space variables.

Error estimates for finite element approximations of elliptic control problems

Walter Alt, Nils Bräutigam, Arnd Rösch (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

We investigate finite element approximations of one-dimensional elliptic control problems. For semidiscretizations and full discretizations with piecewise constant controls we derive error estimates in the maximum norm.

Error estimates for Galerkin reduced-order models of the semi-discrete wave equation

D. Amsallem, U. Hetmaniuk (2014)

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

Galerkin reduced-order models for the semi-discrete wave equation, that preserve the second-order structure, are studied. Error bounds for the full state variables are derived in the continuous setting (when the whole trajectory is known) and in the discrete setting when the Newmark average-acceleration scheme is used on the second-order semi-discrete equation. When the approximating subspace is constructed using the proper orthogonal decomposition, the error estimates are proportional to the sums...

Error estimates for modified local Shepard’s formulas in Sobolev spaces

Carlos Zuppa (2003)

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

Interest in meshfree methods in solving boundary-value problems has grown rapidly in recent years. A meshless method that has attracted considerable interest in the community of computational mechanics is built around the idea of modified local Shepard’s partition of unity. For these kinds of applications it is fundamental to analyze the order of the approximation in the context of Sobolev spaces. In this paper, we study two different techniques for building modified local Shepard’s formulas, and...
