An explicit modified method of characteristics for the one-dimensional nonstationary convection-diffusion problem with dominating convection

Josef Dalík, Helena Růžičková (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

We describe a numerical method for the equation u t + p u x - ε u x x = f in ( 0 , 1 ) × ( 0 , T ) with Dirichlet boundary and initial conditions which is a combination of the method of characteristics and the finite-difference method. We prove both an a priori local error-estimate of a high order and stability. Example 3.3 indicates that our approximate solutions are disturbed only by a minimal amount of the artificial diffusion.

An explicit right inverse of the divergence operator which is continuous in weighted norms

Ricardo G. Durán, Maria Amelia Muschietti (2001)

Studia Mathematica

The existence of a continuous right inverse of the divergence operator in W 1 , p ( Ω ) , 1 < p < ∞, is a well known result which is basic in the analysis of the Stokes equations. The object of this paper is to show that the continuity also holds for some weighted norms. Our results are valid for Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ a bounded domain which is star-shaped with respect to a ball B ⊂ Ω. The continuity results are obtained by using an explicit solution of the divergence equation and the classical theory of singular integrals...

An extension of Rothe's method to non-cylindrical domains

Komil Kuliev, Lars-Erik Persson (2007)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper Rothe’s classical method is extended so that it can be used to solve some linear parabolic boundary value problems in non-cylindrical domains. The corresponding existence and uniqueness theorems are proved and some further results and generalizations are discussed and applied.

An Hadamard maximum principle for the biplacian on hyperbolic manifolds

Håkan Hedenmalm (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

We prove the existence of a maximum principle for operators of the type Δ ω - 1 Δ , for weights ω with log ω subharmonic. It is associated with certain simply connected subdomains that are produced by a Hele-Shaw flow emanating from a given point in the domain. For constant weight, these are the circular disks in the domain. The principle is equivalent to the following statement. THEOREM. Suppose ω is logarithmically subharmonic on the unit disk, and that the weight times area measure is a reproducing measure...

An IMEX scheme for reaction-diffusion equations: application for a PEM fuel cell model

István Faragó, Ferenc Izsák, Tamás Szabó, Ákos Kriston (2013)

Open Mathematics

An implicit-explicit (IMEX) method is developed for the numerical solution of reaction-diffusion equations with pure Neumann boundary conditions. The corresponding method of lines scheme with finite differences is analyzed: explicit conditions are given for its convergence in the ‖·‖∞ norm. The results are applied to a model for determining the overpotential in a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell.

An implicit scheme to solve a system of ODEs arising from the space discretization of nonlinear diffusion equations

Éric Boillat (2001)

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

In this article, we consider the initial value problem which is obtained after a space discretization (with space step h ) of the equations governing the solidification process of a multicomponent alloy. We propose a numerical scheme to solve numerically this initial value problem. We prove an error estimate which is not affected by the step size h chosen in the space discretization. Consequently, our scheme provides global convergence without any stability condition between h and the time step size...
