Implicit a posteriori error estimation using patch recovery techniques

Tamás Horváth, Ferenc Izsák (2012)

Open Mathematics

We develop implicit a posteriori error estimators for elliptic boundary value problems. Local problems are formulated for the error and the corresponding Neumann type boundary conditions are approximated using a new family of gradient averaging procedures. Convergence properties of the implicit error estimator are discussed independently of residual type error estimators, and this gives a freedom in the choice of boundary conditions. General assumptions are elaborated for the gradient averaging...

Improved flux reconstructions in one dimension

Vlasák, Miloslav, Lamač, Jan (2023)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

We present an improvement to the direct flux reconstruction technique for equilibrated flux a posteriori error estimates for one-dimensional problems. The verification of the suggested reconstruction is provided by numerical experiments.

Improved successive constraint method based a posteriori error estimate for reduced basis approximation of 2D Maxwell's problem

Yanlai Chen, Jan S. Hesthaven, Yvon Maday, Jerónimo Rodríguez (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis


In a posteriori error analysis of reduced basis approximations to affinely parametrized partial differential equations, the construction of lower bounds for the coercivity and inf-sup stability constants is essential. In [Huynh et al., C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Ser. I Math.345 (2007) 473–478], the authors presented an efficient method, compatible with an off-line/on-line strategy, where the on-line computation is reduced to minimizing a linear functional under a few linear constraints. These constraints...

Inf-sup stable nonconforming finite elements of higher order on quadrilaterals and hexahedra

Gunar Matthies (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present families of scalar nonconforming finite elements of arbitrary order r 1 with optimal approximation properties on quadrilaterals and hexahedra. Their vector-valued versions together with a discontinuous pressure approximation of order r - 1 form inf-sup stable finite element pairs of order r for the Stokes problem. The well-known elements by Rannacher and Turek are recovered in the case r=1. A numerical comparison between conforming and nonconforming discretisations will be given. Since higher order...

Inner products in covolume and mimetic methods

Kathryn A. Trapp (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

A class of compatible spatial discretizations for solving partial differential equations is presented. A discrete exact sequence framework is developed to classify these methods which include the mimetic and the covolume methods as well as certain low-order finite element methods. This construction ensures discrete analogs of the differential operators that satisfy the identities and theorems of vector calculus, in particular a Helmholtz decomposition theorem for the discrete function spaces. This...

Internal finite element approximation in the dual variational method for the biharmonic problem

Ivan Hlaváček, Michal Křížek (1985)

Aplikace matematiky

A conformal finite element method is investigated for a dual variational formulation of the biharmonic problem with mixed boundary conditions on domains with piecewise smooth curved boundary. Thus in the problem of elastic plate the bending moments are calculated directly. For the construction of finite elements a vector potential is used together with C 0 -elements. The convergence of the method is proved and an algorithm described.

Internal finite element approximations in the dual variational method for second order elliptic problems with curved boundaries

Ivan Hlaváček, Michal Křížek (1984)

Aplikace matematiky

Using the stream function, some finite element subspaces of divergence-free vector functions, the normal components of which vanish on a part of the piecewise smooth boundary, are constructed. Applying these subspaces, an internal approximation of the dual problem for second order elliptic equations is defined. A convergence of this method is proved without any assumption of a regularity of the solution. For sufficiently smooth solutions an optimal rate of convergence is proved. The internal approximation...

Interpolation of non-smooth functions on anisotropic finite element meshes

Thomas Apel (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, several modifications of the quasi-interpolation operator of Scott and Zhang [30] are discussed. The modified operators are defined for non-smooth functions and are suited for application on anisotropic meshes. The anisotropy of the elements is reflected in the local stability and approximation error estimates. As an application, an example is considered where anisotropic finite element meshes are appropriate, namely the Poisson problem in domains with edges.

Inverted finite elements : a new method for solving elliptic problems in unbounded domains

Tahar Zamène Boulmezaoud (2005)

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

In this paper, we propose a new numerical method for solving elliptic equations in unbounded regions of n . The method is based on the mapping of a part of the domain into a bounded region. An appropriate family of weighted spaces is used for describing the growth or the decay of functions at large distances. After exposing the main ideas of the method, we analyse carefully its convergence. Some 3D computational results are displayed to demonstrate its efficiency and its high performance.

Isogeometric analysis for fluid flow problems

Bastl, Bohumír, Brandner, Marek, Egermaier, Jiří, Michálková, Kristýna, Turnerová, Eva (2015)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

The article is devoted to the simulation of viscous incompressible fluid flow based on solving the Navier-Stokes equations. As a numerical model we chose isogeometrical approach. Primary goal of using isogemetric analysis is to be always geometrically exact, independently of the discretization, and to avoid a time-consuming generation of meshes of computational domains. For higher Reynolds numbers, we use stabilization techniques SUPG and PSPG. All methods mentioned in the paper are demonstrated...
