Maximum-norm resolvent estimates for elliptic finite element operators on nonquasiuniform triangulations

Nikolai Yu. Bakaev, Michel Crouzeix, Vidar Thomée (2006)

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

In recent years several papers have been devoted to stability and smoothing properties in maximum-norm of finite element discretizations of parabolic problems. Using the theory of analytic semigroups it has been possible to rephrase such properties as bounds for the resolvent of the associated discrete elliptic operator. In all these cases the triangulations of the spatial domain has been assumed to be quasiuniform. In the present paper we show a resolvent estimate, in one and two space dimensions,...

Moving Dirichlet boundary conditions

Robert Altmann (2014)

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

This paper develops a framework to include Dirichlet boundary conditions on a subset of the boundary which depends on time. In this model, the boundary conditions are weakly enforced with the help of a Lagrange multiplier method. In order to avoid that the ansatz space of the Lagrange multiplier depends on time, a bi-Lipschitz transformation, which maps a fixed interval onto the Dirichlet boundary, is introduced. An inf-sup condition as well as existence results are presented for a class of second...

New Resolution Strategy for Multi-scale Reaction Waves using Time Operator Splitting and Space Adaptive Multiresolution: Application to Human Ischemic Stroke*

Max Duarte, Marc Massot, Stéphane Descombes, Christian Tenaud, Thierry Dumont, Violaine Louvet, Frédérique Laurent (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

We tackle the numerical simulation of reaction-diffusion equations modeling multi-scale reaction waves. This type of problems induces peculiar difficulties and potentially large stiffness which stem from the broad spectrum of temporal scales in the nonlinear chemical source term as well as from the presence of large spatial gradients in the reactive fronts, spatially very localized. A new resolution strategy was recently introduced ? that combines...

Numerical approaches to the modelling of quasi-brittle crack propagation

Jiří Vala (2023)

Archivum Mathematicum

Computational analysis of quasi-brittle fracture in cement-based and similar composites, supplied by various types of rod, fibre, etc. reinforcement, is crucial for the prediction of their load bearing ability and durability, but rather difficult because of the risk of initiation of zones of microscopic defects, followed by formation and propagation of a large number of macroscopic cracks. A reasonable and complete deterministic description of relevant physical processes is rarely available. Thus,...

Numerical Approximation of a Fractional-In-Space Diffusion Equation, I

Ilic, M., Liu, F., Turner, I., Anh, V. (2005)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33 (primary), 35S15 (secondary)This paper provides a new method and corresponding numerical schemes to approximate a fractional-in-space diffusion equation on a bounded domain under boundary conditions of the Dirichlet, Neumann or Robin type. The method is based on a matrix representation of the fractional-in-space operator and the novelty of this approach is that a standard discretisation of the operator leads to a system of linear ODEs with the matrix...

Numerical solution of the Maxwell equations in time-varying media using Magnus expansion

István Faragó, Ágnes Havasi, Robert Horváth (2012)

Open Mathematics

For the Maxwell equations in time-dependent media only finite difference schemes with time-dependent conductivity are known. In this paper we present a numerical scheme based on the Magnus expansion and operator splitting that can handle time-dependent permeability and permittivity too. We demonstrate our results with numerical tests.

Numerical study by a controllability method for the calculation of the time-periodic solutions of the Maxwell and Vlasov-Maxwell systems

Mihai Bostan (2001)

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

The topic of this paper is the numerical analysis of time periodic solution for electro-magnetic phenomena. The Limit Absorption Method (LAM) which forms the basis of our study is presented. Theoretical results have been proved in the linear finite dimensional case. This method is applied to scattering problems and transport of charged particles.

On a 1-D model of stress relaxation in an annealed glass

Vladimír Janovský, David Just (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

A 1-D model of a slab of glass of a small thickness is considered. The governing equations are those of the classical 1-D linear viscoelasticity. A load due to the temperature gradients is assumed. The aim is to model the process called annealing. It is shown that an additional load due to structural strain is crucial for the success of the model. Algorithms of a numerical solution of the governing equations are proposed. Numerical results are presented and commented.

On a method for a-posteriori error estimation of approximate solutions to parabolic problems

Juraj Weisz (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The aim of the paper is to derive a method for the construction of a-posteriori error estimate to approximate solutions to parabolic initial-boundary value problems. The computation of the suggested error bound requires only the computation of a finite number of systems or linear algebraic equations. These systems can be solved parallelly. It is proved that the suggested a-posteriori error estimate tends to zero if the approximation tends to the true solution.
