Special exact curved finite elements useful for solving contact problems of the second order in domains boundaries of which consist of a finite number of circular ares and a finite number of line segments are introduced and the interpolation estimates are proved.
We describe how the resolution of a kernel-based interpolation problem can be associated with a spectral problem. An integral operator is defined from the embedding of the considered Hilbert subspace into an auxiliary Hilbert space of square-integrable functions. We finally obtain a spectral representation of the interpolating elements which allows their approximation by spectral truncation. As an illustration, we show how this approach can be used to enforce boundary conditions in kernel-based...
The iteration subspace method for approximating a few points of the spectrum of a positive linear bounded operator is studied. The behaviour of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the operators arising by this method and their dependence on the initial subspace are described. An application of the Schmidt orthogonalization process for approximate computation of eigenelements of operators is also considered.
We consider a model coupling the Darcy equations in a porous medium with the Navier-Stokes equations in the cracks, for which the coupling is provided by the pressure's continuity on the interface. We discretize the coupled problem by the spectral element method combined with a nonoverlapping domain decomposition method. We prove the existence of solution for the discrete problem and establish an error estimation. We conclude with some numerical tests confirming the results of our analysis.
We are interested in the discretization of the heat equation with a diffusion coefficient depending on the space and time variables. The discretization relies on a spectral element method with respect to the space variables and Euler's implicit scheme with respect to the time variable. A detailed numerical analysis leads to optimal a priori error estimates.
We consider the Stokes problem provided with non standard boundary conditions which involve the normal component of the velocity and the tangential components of the vorticity. We write a variational formulation of this problem with three independent unknowns: the vorticity, the velocity and the pressure. Next we propose a discretization by spectral element methods which relies on this formulation. A detailed numerical analysis leads to optimal error estimates for the three unknowns and numerical...

This paper is concerned with the analysis and implementation of spectral Galerkin methods for a class of Fokker-Planck equations that arises from the kinetic theory of dilute polymers. A relevant feature of the class of equations under consideration from the viewpoint of mathematical analysis and numerical approximation is the presence of an unbounded drift coefficient, involving a smooth convex potential that is equal to along the boundary of the computational domain .
