An operator-splitting Galerkin/SUPG finite element method for population balance equations : stability and convergence

Sashikumaar Ganesan (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present a heterogeneous finite element method for the solution of a high-dimensional population balance equation, which depends both the physical and the internal property coordinates. The proposed scheme tackles the two main difficulties in the finite element solution of population balance equation: (i) spatial discretization with the standard finite elements, when the dimension of the equation is more than three, (ii) spurious oscillations in...

An operator-theoretic approach to truncated moment problems

Raúl Curto (1997)

Banach Center Publications

We survey recent developments in operator theory and moment problems, beginning with the study of quadratic hyponormality for unilateral weighted shifts, its connections with truncated Hamburger, Stieltjes, Hausdorff and Toeplitz moment problems, and the subsequent proof that polynomially hyponormal operators need not be subnormal. We present a general elementary approach to truncated moment problems in one or several real or complex variables, based on matrix positivity and extension. Together...

An optimal error bound for a finite element approximation of a model for phase separation of a multi-component alloy with non-smooth free energy

John W. Barrett, James F. Blowey (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Using the approach in [5] for analysing time discretization error and assuming more regularity on the initial data, we improve on the error bound derived in [2] for a fully practical piecewise linear finite element approximation with a backward Euler time discretization of a model for phase separation of a multi-component alloy with non-smooth free energy.

An optimum design problem in magnetostatics

Antoine Henrot, Grégory Villemin (2002)

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

In this paper, we are interested in finding the optimal shape of a magnet. The criterion to maximize is the jump of the electromagnetic field between two different configurations. We prove existence of an optimal shape into a natural class of domains. We introduce a quasi-Newton type algorithm which moves the boundary. This method is very efficient to improve an initial shape. We give some numerical results.

An unconditionally positive and global stability preserving NSFD scheme for an epidemic model with vaccination

Deqiong Ding, Qiang Ma, Xiaohua Ding (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper, a NonStandard Finite Difference (NSFD) scheme is constructed, which can be used to determine numerical solutions for an epidemic model with vaccination. Here the NSFD method is employed to derive a set of difference equations for the epidemic model with vaccination. We show that difference equations have the same dynamics as the original differential system, such as the positivity of the solutions and the stability of the equilibria, without being restricted by the time step. Our...

An unconditionally stable finite element scheme for anisotropic curve shortening flow

Klaus Deckelnick, Robert Nürnberg (2023)

Archivum Mathematicum

Based on a recent novel formulation of parametric anisotropic curve shortening flow, we analyse a fully discrete numerical method of this geometric evolution equation. The method uses piecewise linear finite elements in space and a backward Euler approximation in time. We establish existence and uniqueness of a discrete solution, as well as an unconditional stability property. Some numerical computations confirm the theoretical results and demonstrate the practicality of our method.

An unconditionally stable finite element-finite volume pressure correction scheme for the drift-flux model

Laura Gastaldo, Raphaèle Herbin, Jean-Claude Latché (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present in this paper a pressure correction scheme for the drift-flux model combining finite element and finite volume discretizations, which is shown to enjoy essential stability features of the continuous problem: the scheme is conservative, the unknowns are kept within their physical bounds and, in the homogeneous case (i.e. when the drift velocity vanishes), the discrete entropy of the system decreases; in addition, when using for the drift velocity a closure law which takes the form of...

An unconditionally stable nonstandard finite difference method applied to a mathematical model of HIV infection

Hasim A. Obaid, Rachid Ouifki, Kailash C. Patidar (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We formulate and analyze an unconditionally stable nonstandard finite difference method for a mathematical model of HIV transmission dynamics. The dynamics of this model are studied using the qualitative theory of dynamical systems. These qualitative features of the continuous model are preserved by the numerical method that we propose in this paper. This method also preserves the positivity of the solution, which is one of the essential requirements when modeling epidemic diseases. Robust numerical...

An unconditionally stable pressure correction scheme for the compressible barotropic Navier-Stokes equations

Thierry Gallouët, Laura Gastaldo, Raphaele Herbin, Jean-Claude Latché (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present in this paper a pressure correction scheme for the barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations, which enjoys an unconditional stability property, in the sense that the energy and maximum-principle-based a priori estimates of the continuous problem also hold for the discrete solution. The stability proof is based on two independent results for general finite volume discretizations, both interesting for their own sake: the L2-stability of the discrete advection operator provided it...
