Solving a class of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations using pseudospectral methods

Mohsen Mehrali-Varjani, Mostafa Shamsi, Alaeddin Malek (2018)

Kybernetika

This paper presents a numerical approach to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) problem which appears in feedback solution of the optimal control problems. In this method, first, by using Chebyshev pseudospectral spatial discretization, the HJB problem is converted to a system of ordinary differential equations with terminal conditions. Second, the time-marching Runge-Kutta method is used to solve the corresponding system of differential equations. Then, an approximate solution for the HJB problem...

Solving the Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality with a semi-smooth Newton method

Luise Blank, Martin Butz, Harald Garcke (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality is a non-standard parabolic variational inequality of fourth order for which straightforward numerical approaches cannot be applied. We propose a primal-dual active set method which can be interpreted as a semi-smooth Newton method as solution technique for the discretized Cahn-Hilliard variational inequality. A (semi-)implicit Euler discretization is used in time and a piecewise linear finite element discretization of splitting type is used in space leading...

Solving the Vlasov equation in complex geometries

J. Abiteboul, G. Latu, V. Grandgirard, A. Ratnani, E. Sonnendrücker, A. Strugarek (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

This paper introduces an isoparametric analysis to solve the Vlasov equation with a semi-Lagrangian scheme. A Vlasov-Poisson problem modeling a heavy ion beam in an axisymmetric configuration is considered. Numerical experiments are conducted on computational meshes targeting different geometries. The impact of the computational grid on the accuracy and the computational cost are shown. The use of analytical mapping or Bézier patches does not induce...

Some abstract error estimates of a finite volume scheme for a nonstationary heat equation on general nonconforming multidimensional spatial meshes

Abdallah Bradji, Jürgen Fuhrmann (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

A general class of nonconforming meshes has been recently studied for stationary anisotropic heterogeneous diffusion problems, see Eymard et al. (IMA J. Numer. Anal. 30 (2010), 1009–1043). Thanks to the basic ideas developed in the stated reference for stationary problems, we derive a new discretization scheme in order to approximate the nonstationary heat problem. The unknowns of this scheme are the values at the centre of the control volumes, at some internal interfaces, and at the mesh points...

Some application of the implicit function theorem to the stationary Navier-Stokes equations

Konstanty Holly (1991)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We prove that - in the case of typical external forces - the set of stationary solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations is the limit of the (full) sequence of sets of solutions of the appropriate Galerkin equations, in the sense of the Hausdorff metric (for every inner approximation of the space of velocities). Then the uniqueness of the N-S equations is equivalent to the uniqueness of almost every of these Galerkin equations.

Some applications of minimax and topological degree to the study of the Dirichlet problem for elliptic partial differential equations

Leszek Gęba, Tadeusz Pruszko (1991)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

This paper treats nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems of the form (1) L[u] = p(x,u) in Ω n , u = D u = . . . = D m - 1 u on ∂Ω in the Sobolev space W 0 m , 2 ( Ω ) , where L is any selfadjoint strongly elliptic linear differential operator of order 2m. Using both topological degree arguments and minimax methods we obtain existence and multiplicity results for the above problem.
