A new finite element approach for problems containing small geometric details

Wolfgang Hackbusch, Stefan A. Sauter (1998)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper a new finite element approach is presented which allows the discretization of PDEs on domains containing small micro-structures with extremely few degrees of freedom. The applications of these so-called Composite Finite Elements are two-fold. They allow the efficient use of multi-grid methods to problems on complicated domains where, otherwise, it is not possible to obtain very coarse discretizations with standard finite elements. Furthermore, they provide a tool for discrete homogenization...

A new formulation of the Stokes problem in a cylinder, and its spectral discretization

Nehla Abdellatif, Christine Bernardi (2004)

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

We analyze a new formulation of the Stokes equations in three-dimensional axisymmetric geometries, relying on Fourier expansion with respect to the angular variable: the problem for each Fourier coefficient is two-dimensional and has six scalar unknowns, corresponding to the vector potential and the vorticity. A spectral discretization is built on this formulation, which leads to an exactly divergence-free discrete velocity. We prove optimal error estimates.

A new H(div)-conforming p-interpolation operator in two dimensions

Alexei Bespalov, Norbert Heuer (2011)

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

In this paper we construct a new H(div)-conforming projection-based p-interpolation operator that assumes only Hr(K) 𝐇 ˜ -1/2(div, K)-regularity (r > 0) on the reference element (either triangle or square) K. We show that this operator is stable...

A new inclusion interval for the real eigenvalues of real matrices

Yinghua Wang, Xinnian Song, Lei Gao (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

By properties of Cvetković-Kostić-Varga-type (or, for short, CKV-type) B-matrices, a new class of nonsingular matrices called CKV-type B ¯ -matrices is given, and a new inclusion interval of the real eigenvalues of real matrices is presented. It is shown that the new inclusion interval is sharper than those provided by J. M. Peña (2003), and by H. B. Li et al. (2007). We also propose a direct algorithm for computing the new inclusion interval. Numerical examples are included to illustrate the effectiveness...

A new Kantorovich-type theorem for Newton's method

Ioannis Argyros (1999)

Applicationes Mathematicae

A new Kantorovich-type convergence theorem for Newton's method is established for approximating a locally unique solution of an equation F(x)=0 defined on a Banach space. It is assumed that the operator F is twice Fréchet differentiable, and that F', F'' satisfy Lipschitz conditions. Our convergence condition differs from earlier ones and therefore it has theoretical and practical value.

A new maximality argument for a coupled fluid-structure interaction, with implications for a divergence-free finite element method

George Avalos, Matthew Dvorak (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We consider a coupled PDE model of various fluid-structure interactions seen in nature. It has recently been shown by the authors [Contemp. Math. 440, 2007] that this model admits of an explicit semigroup generator representation 𝓐:D(𝓐)⊂ H → H, where H is the associated space of fluid-structure initial data. However, the argument for the maximality criterion was indirect, and did not provide for an explicit solution Φ ∈ D(𝓐) of the equation (λI-𝓐)Φ =F for given F ∈ H and λ > 0. The present...
