Divergence boundary conditions for vector Helmholtz equations with divergence constraints

Urve Kangro, Roy Nicolaides (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The idea of replacing a divergence constraint by a divergence boundary condition is investigated. The connections between the formulations are considered in detail. It is shown that the most common methods of using divergence boundary conditions do not always work properly. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the equivalence of the formulations are given.

Domain optimization in 3 D -axisymmetric elliptic problems by dual finite element method

Ivan Hlaváček (1990)

Aplikace matematiky

An axisymmetric second order elliptic problem with mixed boundary conditions is considered. The shape of the domain has to be found so as to minimize a cost functional, which is given in terms of the cogradient of the solution. A new dual finite element method is used for approximate solutions. The existence of an optimal domain is proven and a convergence analysis presented.

Domain optimization in axisymmetric elliptic boundary value problems by finite elements

Ivan Hlaváček (1988)

Aplikace matematiky

An axisymmetric second order elliptic problem with mixed boundary conditions is considered. A part of the boundary has to be found so as to minimize one of four types of cost functionals. The existence of an optimal boundary is proven and a convergence analysis for piecewise linear approximate solutions presented, using weighted Sobolev spaces.

Dual finite element analysis for elliptic problems with obstacles on the boundary. I

Ivan Hlaváček (1977)

Aplikace matematiky

For an elliptic model problem with non-homogeneous unilateral boundary conditions, two dual variational formulations are presented and justified on the basis of a saddle point theorem. Using piecewise linear finite element models on the triangulation of the given domain, dual numerical procedures are proposed. By means of one-sided approximations, some a priori error estimates are proved, assuming that the solution is sufficiently smooth. A posteriori error estimates and two-sided bounds for the...

Dual finite element analysis of axisymmetric elliptic problems with an absolute term

Ivan Hlaváček (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

A model second order elliptic equation in cylindrical coordinates with mixed boundary conditions is considered. A dual variational formulation is employed to calculate the cogradient of the solution directly. Approximations are defined on the basis of standard finite elements spaces. Convergence analysis and some a posteriori error estimates are presented.

Each H1/2–stable projection yields convergence and quasi–optimality of adaptive FEM with inhomogeneous Dirichlet data in Rd

M. Aurada, M. Feischl, J. Kemetmüller, M. Page, D. Praetorius (2013)

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

We consider the solution of second order elliptic PDEs in Rd with inhomogeneous Dirichlet data by means of an h–adaptive FEM with fixed polynomial order p ∈ N. As model example serves the Poisson equation with mixed Dirichlet–Neumann boundary conditions, where the inhomogeneous Dirichlet data are discretized by use of an H1 / 2–stable projection, for instance, the L2–projection for p = 1 or the Scott–Zhang projection for general p ≥ 1. For error estimation, we use a residual error estimator which...

Efficient numerical solution of mixed finite element discretizations by adaptive multilevel methods

Ronald H.W. Hoppe, Barbara Wohlmuth (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider mixed finite element discretizations of second order elliptic boundary value problems. Emphasis is on the efficient iterative solution by multilevel techniques with respect to an adaptively generated hierarchy of nonuniform triangulations. In particular, we present two multilevel solvers, the first one relying on ideas from domain decomposition and the second one resulting from mixed hybridization. Local refinement of the underlying triangulations is done by efficient and reliable a...
