A new scheme for discretizing the P1 model on unstructured polygonal meshes is proposed. This scheme is designed such that its limit in the diffusion regime is the MPFA-O scheme which is proved to be a consistent variant of the Breil-Maire diffusion scheme. Numerical tests compare this scheme with a derived GLACE scheme for the P1 system.
In this paper we consider a new class of consistent semi-parametric estimators of a negative extreme value index, based on the set of the k largest observations. This class of estimators depends on a control or tuning parameter, which enables us to have access to an estimator with a null second-order component of asymptotic bias, and with a rather interesting mean squared error, as a function of k. We study the consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators. Their finite sample...
We present an asynchronous multi-domain time integration algorithm with a dual domain decomposition method for the initial boundary-value problems for a parabolic equation. For efficient parallel computing, we apply the three-field domain decomposition method with local Lagrange multipliers to ensure the continuity of the primary unknowns at the interface between subdomains. The implicit method for time discretization and the multi-domain spatial decomposition enable us to use different time steps...
Isogeometric analysis has been developed recently to use basis functions resulting from the CAO description of the computational domain for the finite element spaces. The goal of this study is to develop an axisymmetric Finite Element PIC code in which specific spline Finite Elements are used to solve the Maxwell equations and the same spline functions serve as shape function for the particles. The computational domain itself is defined using splines...
The aim of this paper is to analyze a formulation of the eddy current problem in terms of a time-primitive of the electric field in a bounded domain with input current intensities or voltage drops as source data. To this end, we introduce a Lagrange multiplier to impose the divergence-free condition in the dielectric domain. Thus, we obtain a time-dependent weak mixed formulation leading to a degenerate parabolic problem which we prove is well-posed. We propose a finite element method for space...
The paper presents an approach to improve the efficiency of some two-level optimization algorithms by their implementation in parallel MIMD multiprocessor systems. Diagonal decomposition dynamic programming and parametric optimization methods are considered, and some concepts of their parallelization are discussed. Results regarding the implementation of computations in a parallel multitransputer system are presented. For the analysed problems, the obtained values of speedup are close to the theoretical...

We present the current Reduced Basis framework for the efficient numerical approximation of parametrized steady Navier–Stokes equations. We have extended the existing setting developed in the last decade (see e.g. [S. Deparis, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 46 (2008) 2039–2067; A. Quarteroni and G. Rozza, Numer. Methods Partial Differ. Equ. 23 (2007) 923–948; K. Veroy and A.T. Patera, Int. J. Numer. Methods Fluids 47 (2005) 773–788]) to more general affine and nonaffine parametrizations (such as volume-based...
