A unified convergence analysis for local projection stabilisations applied to the Oseen problem

Gunar Matthies, Piotr Skrzypacz, Lutz Tobiska (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The discretisation of the Oseen problem by finite element methods may suffer in general from two shortcomings. First, the discrete inf-sup (Babuška-Brezzi) condition can be violated. Second, spurious oscillations occur due to the dominating convection. One way to overcome both difficulties is the use of local projection techniques. Studying the local projection method in an abstract setting, we show that the fulfilment of a local inf-sup condition between approximation and projection spaces...

About Delaunay triangulations and discrete maximum principles for the linear conforming FEM applied to the Poisson equation

Reiner Vanselow (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

The starting point of the analysis in this paper is the following situation: “In a bounded domain in 2 , let a finite set of points be given. A triangulation of that domain has to be found, whose vertices are the given points and which is ‘suitable’ for the linear conforming Finite Element Method (FEM).” The result of this paper is that for the discrete Poisson equation and under some weak additional assumptions, only the use of Delaunay triangulations preserves the maximum principle.

Acceleration of two-grid stabilized mixed finite element method for the Stokes eigenvalue problem

Xinlong Feng, Zhifeng Weng, Hehu Xie (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper provides an accelerated two-grid stabilized mixed finite element scheme for the Stokes eigenvalue problem based on the pressure projection. With the scheme, the solution of the Stokes eigenvalue problem on a fine grid is reduced to the solution of the Stokes eigenvalue problem on a much coarser grid and the solution of a linear algebraic system on the fine grid. By solving a slightly different linear problem on the fine grid, the new algorithm significantly improves the theoretical error...

Adaptive finite element methods for elliptic problems: Abstract framework and applications

Serge Nicaise, Sarah Cochez-Dhondt (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider a general abstract framework of a continuous elliptic problem set on a Hilbert space V that is approximated by a family of (discrete) problems set on a finite-dimensional space of finite dimension not necessarily included into V. We give a series of realistic conditions on an error estimator that allows to conclude that the marking strategy of bulk type leads to the geometric convergence of the adaptive algorithm. These conditions are then verified for different concrete problems...

Adaptivity and variational stabilization for convection-diffusion equations

Albert Cohen, Wolfgang Dahmen, Gerrit Welper (2012)

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

In this paper we propose and analyze stable variational formulations for convection diffusion problems starting from concepts introduced by Sangalli. We derive efficient and reliable a posteriori error estimators that are based on these formulations. The analysis of resulting adaptive solution concepts, when specialized to the setting suggested by Sangalli’s work, reveals partly unexpected phenomena related to the specific nature of the norms induced by the variational formulation. Several remedies,...
