On the convergence of generalized polynomial chaos expansions

Oliver G. Ernst, Antje Mugler, Hans-Jörg Starkloff, Elisabeth Ullmann (2012)

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

A number of approaches for discretizing partial differential equations with random data are based on generalized polynomial chaos expansions of random variables. These constitute generalizations of the polynomial chaos expansions introduced by Norbert Wiener to expansions in polynomials orthogonal with respect to non-Gaussian probability measures. We present conditions on such measures which imply mean-square convergence of generalized polynomial chaos expansions to the correct limit and complement...

On the Convergence of the Approximate Free Boundary for the Parabolic Obstacle Problem

Paola Pietra, Claudio Verdi (1985)

Si discretizza il problema dell'ostacolo parabolico con differenze all'indietro nel tempo ed elementi finiti lineari nello spazio e si dimostrano stime dell'errore per la frontiera libera discreta.

On the convergence of the stochastic Galerkin method for random elliptic partial differential equations

Antje Mugler, Hans-Jörg Starkloff (2013)

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

In this article we consider elliptic partial differential equations with random coefficients and/or random forcing terms. In the current treatment of such problems by stochastic Galerkin methods it is standard to assume that the random diffusion coefficient is bounded by positive deterministic constants or modeled as lognormal random field. In contrast, we make the significantly weaker assumption that the non-negative random coefficients can be bounded strictly away from zero and infinity by random...

On the domain geometry dependence of the LBB condition

Evgenii V. Chizhonkov, Maxim A. Olshanskii (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The LBB condition is well-known to guarantee the stability of a finite element (FE) velocity - pressure pair in incompressible flow calculations. To ensure the condition to be satisfied a certain constant should be positive and mesh-independent. The paper studies the dependence of the LBB condition on the domain geometry. For model domains such as strips and rings the substantial dependence of this constant on geometry aspect ratios is observed. In domains with highly anisotropic substructures...

On the effect of numerical integration in the finite element solution of an elliptic problem with a nonlinear Newton boundary condition

Ondřej Bartoš, Miloslav Feistauer, Filip Roskovec (2019)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper is concerned with the analysis of the finite element method for the numerical solution of an elliptic boundary value problem with a nonlinear Newton boundary condition in a two-dimensional polygonal domain. The weak solution loses regularity in a neighbourhood of boundary singularities, which may be at corners or at roots of the weak solution on edges. The main attention is paid to the study of error estimates. It turns out that the order of convergence is not dampened by the nonlinearity...

On the existence of a weak solution of the boundary value problem for the equilibrium of a shallow shell reinforced with stiffening ribs

Igor Bock, Ján Lovíšek (1978)

Aplikace matematiky

The existence and the unicity of a weak solution of the boundary value problem for a shallow shell reinforced with stiffening ribs is proved by the direct variational method. The boundary value problem is solved in the space W ( Ω ) H 0 1 ( Ω ) × H 0 1 ( Ω ) × H 0 2 ( Ω ) , on which the corresponding bilinear form is coercive. A finite element method for numerical solution is introduced. The approximate solutions converge to a weak solution in the space Q ( Ω ) .

On the finite element analysis of problems with nonlinear Newton boundary conditions in nonpolygonal domains

Miloslav Feistauer, Karel Najzar, Veronika Sobotíková (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper is concerned with the study of an elliptic boundary value problem with a nonlinear Newton boundary condition considered in a two-dimensional nonpolygonal domain with a curved boundary. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of the continuous problem is a consequence of the monotone operator theory. The main attention is paid to the effect of the basic finite element variational crimes: approximation of the curved boundary by a polygonal one and the evaluation of integrals by numerical...
