Skipping transition conditions in a posteriori error estimates for finite element discretizations of parabolic equations

Stefano Berrone (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper we derive a posteriori error estimates for the heat equation. The time discretization strategy is based on a θ-method and the mesh used for each time-slab is independent of the mesh used for the previous time-slab. The novelty of this paper is an upper bound for the error caused by the coarsening of the mesh used for computing the solution in the previous time-slab. The technique applied for deriving this upper bound is independent of the problem and can be generalized to other time...

Solvability of the power flow problem in DC overhead wire circuit modeling

Jakub Ševčík, Lukáš Adam, Jan Přikryl, Václav Šmídl (2021)

Applications of Mathematics

Proper traffic simulation of electric vehicles, which draw energy from overhead wires, requires adequate modeling of traction infrastructure. Such vehicles include trains, trams or trolleybuses. Since the requested power demands depend on a traffic situation, the overhead wire DC electrical circuit is associated with a non-linear power flow problem. Although the Newton-Raphson method is well-known and widely accepted for seeking its solution, the existence of such a solution is not guaranteed. Particularly...

Stability of the Iteration Method for non Expansive Mappings

Lemaire, B. (1996)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

The general iteration method for nonexpansive mappings on a Banach space is considered. Under some assumption of fast enough convergence on the sequence of (“almost” nonexpansive) perturbed iteration mappings, if the basic method is τ−convergent for a suitable topology τ weaker than the norm topology, then the perturbed method is also τ−convergent. Application is presented to the gradient-prox method for monotone inclusions in Hilbert spaces.

Steffensen Methods for Solving Generalized Equations

Argyros, Ioannis K., Hilout, Saïd (2008)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 65G99, 65K10, 47H04.We provide a local convergence analysis for Steffensen's method in order to solve a generalized equation in a Banach space setting. Using well known fixed point theorems for set-valued maps [13] and Hölder type conditions introduced by us in [2] for nonlinear equations, we obtain the superlinear local convergence of Steffensen's method. Our results compare favorably with related ones obtained in [11].
