Numerical study by a controllability method for the calculation of the time-periodic solutions of the Maxwell and Vlasov-Maxwell systems

Mihai Bostan (2001)

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

The topic of this paper is the numerical analysis of time periodic solution for electro-magnetic phenomena. The Limit Absorption Method (LAM) which forms the basis of our study is presented. Theoretical results have been proved in the linear finite dimensional case. This method is applied to scattering problems and transport of charged particles.

Numerical study of a new global minimizer for the Mumford-Shah functional in R3

Benoît Merlet (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In [Progress Math.233 (2005)], David suggested the existence of a new type of global minimizers for the Mumford-Shah functional in 𝐑 3 . The singular set of such a new minimizer belongs to a three parameters family of sets ( 0 < δ 1 , δ 2 , δ 3 < π ) . We first derive necessary conditions satisfied by global minimizers of this family. Then we are led to study the first eigenvectors of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with Neumann boundary conditions on subdomains of 𝐒 2 with three reentrant corners. The necessary conditions are...

Numerical study of natural superconvergence in least-squares finite element methods for elliptic problems

Runchang Lin, Zhimin Zhang (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

Natural superconvergence of the least-squares finite element method is surveyed for the one- and two-dimensional Poisson equation. For two-dimensional problems, both the families of Lagrange elements and Raviart-Thomas elements have been considered on uniform triangular and rectangular meshes. Numerical experiments reveal that many superconvergence properties of the standard Galerkin method are preserved by the least-squares finite element method.

Numerical study of self-focusing solutions to the Schrödinger-Debye system

Christophe Besse, Brigitte Bidégaray (2001)

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

In this article we implement different numerical schemes to simulate the Schrödinger-Debye equations that occur in nonlinear optics. Since the existence of blow-up solutions is an open problem, we try to compute such solutions. The convergence of the methods is proved and simulations seem indeed to show that for at least small delays self-focusing solutions may exist.

Numerical study of the Davey-Stewartson system

Christophe Besse, Norbert J. Mauser, Hans Peter Stimming (2004)

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

We deal with numerical analysis and simulations of the Davey-Stewartson equations which model, for example, the evolution of water surface waves. This time dependent PDE system is particularly interesting as a generalization of the 1-d integrable NLS to 2 space dimensions. We use a time splitting spectral method where we give a convergence analysis for the semi-discrete version of the scheme. Numerical results are presented for various blow-up phenomena of the equation, including blowup of defocusing,...

Numerical study of the stopping of aura during migraine

C. Pocci, A. Moussa, F. Hubert, G. Chapuisat (2010)

ESAIM: Proceedings

This work is devoted to the study of migraine with aura in the human brain. Following [6], we class migraine as a propagation of a wave of depolarization through the cells. The mathematical model used, based on a reaction-diffusion equation, is briefly presented. The equation is considered in a duct containing a bend, in order to model one of the numerous circumvolutions of the brain. For a wide set of parameters, one can establish the existence...

Numerical study of the systematic error in Monte Carlo schemes for semiconductors

Orazio Muscato, Wolfgang Wagner, Vincenza Di Stefano (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The paper studies the convergence behavior of Monte Carlo schemes for semiconductors. A detailed analysis of the systematic error with respect to numerical parameters is performed. Different sources of systematic error are pointed out and illustrated in a spatially one-dimensional test case. The error with respect to the number of simulation particles occurs during the calculation of the internal electric field. The time step error, which is related to the splitting of transport and electric field...

Numerical study of two sparse AMG-methods

Janne Martikainen (2003)

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

A sparse algebraic multigrid method is studied as a cheap and accurate way to compute approximations of Schur complements of matrices arising from the discretization of some symmetric and positive definite partial differential operators. The construction of such a multigrid is discussed and numerical experiments are used to verify the properties of the method.

Numerical study on the blow-up rate to a quasilinear parabolic equation

Anada, Koichi, Ishiwata, Tetsuya, Ushijima, Takeo (2017)

Proceedings of Equadiff 14

In this paper, we consider the blow-up solutions for a quasilinear parabolic partial differential equation u t = u 2 ( u x x + u ) . We numerically investigate the blow-up rates of these solutions by using a numerical method which is recently proposed by the authors [3].

Numerical treatment of 3-dimensional potential problem

Vladimír Drápalík, Vladimír Janovský (1988)

Aplikace matematiky

Assuming an incident wave to be a field source, we calculate the field potential in a neighborhood of an inhomogeneous body. This problem which has been formulated in 𝐑 3 can be reduced to a bounded domain. Namely, a boundary condition for the potential is formulated on a sphere. Then the potential satisfies a well posed boundary value problem in a ball containing the body. A numerical approximation is suggested and its convergence is analyzed.

Numerical treatment of a time dependent inverse problem in photon transport

S. Pieraccini, R. Riganti, A. Belleni-Morante (2005)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

The time-dependent intensity of a UV-photon source, located inside an interstellar cloud, is determined by formulating and solving an inverse problem for the integro-differential transport equation of photons in a one-dimensional slab. Starting from a discretizazion of the forward problem, an iterative procedure is used to compute the values of the source intensity at increasing values of the time.
