Convergence Rates of the POD–Greedy Method

Bernard Haasdonk (2013)

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

Iterative approximation algorithms are successfully applied in parametric approximation tasks. In particular, reduced basis methods make use of the so-called Greedy algorithm for approximating solution sets of parametrized partial differential equations. Recently, a priori convergence rate statements for this algorithm have been given (Buffa et al. 2009, Binev et al. 2010). The goal of the current study is the extension to time-dependent problems, which are typically approximated using the POD–Greedy...

Convergence results of the fictitious domain method for a mixed formulation of the wave equation with a Neumann boundary condition

Eliane Bécache, Jeronimo Rodríguez, Chrysoula Tsogka (2009)

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

The problem of modeling acoustic waves scattered by an object with Neumann boundary condition is considered. The boundary condition is taken into account by means of the fictitious domain method, yielding a first order in time mixed variational formulation for the problem. The resulting system is discretized with two families of mixed finite elements that are compatible with mass lumping. We present numerical results illustrating that the Neumann boundary condition on the object is not always correctly...

Convergent finite element discretizations of the Navier-Stokes-Nernst-Planck-Poisson system

Andreas Prohl, Markus Schmuck (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We propose and analyse two convergent fully discrete schemes to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes-Nernst-Planck-Poisson system. The first scheme converges to weak solutions satisfying an energy and an entropy dissipation law. The second scheme uses Chorin's projection method to obtain an efficient approximation that converges to strong solutions at optimal rates.

Convergent finite element discretizations of the nonstationary incompressible magnetohydrodynamics system

Andreas Prohl (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The incompressible MHD equations couple Navier-Stokes equations with Maxwell's equations to describe the flow of a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid in a Lipschitz domain Ω 3 . We verify convergence of iterates of different coupling and decoupling fully discrete schemes towards weak solutions for vanishing discretization parameters. Optimal first order of convergence is shown in the presence of strong solutions for a splitting scheme which decouples the computation of velocity...

Convergent semidiscretization of a nonlinear fourth order parabolic system

Ansgar Jüngel, René Pinnau (2003)

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

A semidiscretization in time of a fourth order nonlinear parabolic system in several space dimensions arising in quantum semiconductor modelling is studied. The system is numerically treated by introducing an additional nonlinear potential. Exploiting the stability of the discretization, convergence is shown in the multi-dimensional case. Under some assumptions on the regularity of the solution, the rate of convergence proves to be optimal.

Difference methods for parabolic functional differential problems of the Neumann type

K. Kropielnicka (2007)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Nonlinear parabolic functional differential equations with initial boundary conditions of the Neumann type are considered. A general class of difference methods for the problem is constructed. Theorems on the convergence of difference schemes and error estimates of approximate solutions are presented. The proof of the stability of the difference functional problem is based on a comparison technique. Nonlinear estimates of the Perron type with respect to the functional variable for given functions...

Discontinuous Galerkin method for nonlinear convection-diffusion problems with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions

Oto Havle, Vít Dolejší, Miloslav Feistauer (2010)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper is devoted to the analysis of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) applied to the space semidiscretization of a nonlinear nonstationary convection-diffusion problem with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. General nonconforming meshes are used and the NIPG, IIPG and SIPG versions of the discretization of diffusion terms are considered. The main attention is paid to the impact of the Neumann boundary condition prescribed on a part of the boundary on the truncation...

Dual-mixed finite element methods for the Navier-Stokes equations

Jason S. Howell, Noel J. Walkington (2013)

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

A mixed finite element method for the Navier–Stokes equations is introduced in which the stress is a primary variable. The variational formulation retains the mathematical structure of the Navier–Stokes equations and the classical theory extends naturally to this setting. Finite element spaces satisfying the associated inf–sup conditions are developed.
