Optimal convergence of a discontinuous-Galerkin-based immersed boundary method*

Adrian J. Lew, Matteo Negri (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We prove the optimal convergence of a discontinuous-Galerkin-based immersed boundary method introduced earlier [Lew and Buscaglia, Int. J. Numer. Methods Eng.76 (2008) 427–454]. By switching to a discontinuous Galerkin discretization near the boundary, this method overcomes the suboptimal convergence rate that may arise in immersed boundary methods when strongly imposing essential boundary conditions. We consider a model Poisson's problem with homogeneous boundary conditions over two-dimensional...

Optimal convergence rates of hp mortar finite element methods for second-order elliptic problems

Faker Ben Belgacem, Padmanabhan Seshaiyer, Manil Suri (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present an improved, near-optimal hp error estimate for a non-conforming finite element method, called the mortar method (M0). We also present a new hp mortaring technique, called the mortar method (MP), and derive h, p and hp error estimates for it, in the presence of quasiuniform and non-quasiuniform meshes. Our theoretical results, augmented by the computational evidence we present, show that like (M0), (MP) is also a viable mortaring technique for the hp method.

Optimal error Estimates for the Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations with slip–boundary condition

Eberhard Bänsch, Klaus Deckelnick (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider a finite element discretization by the Taylor–Hood element for the stationary Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations with slip boundary condition. The slip boundary condition is enforced pointwise for nodal values of the velocity in boundary nodes. We prove optimal error estimates in the H1 and L2 norms for the velocity and pressure respectively.

Optimization of the domain in elliptic problems by the dual finite element method

Ivan Hlaváček (1985)

Aplikace matematiky

An optimal part of the boundary of a plane domain for the Poisson equation with mixed boundary conditions is to be found. The cost functional is (i) the internal energy, (ii) the norm of the external flux through the unknown boundary. For the numerical solution of the state problem a dual variational formulation - in terms of the gradient of the solution - and spaces of divergence-free piecewise linear finite elements are used. The existence of an optimal domain and some convergence results are...

Optimized Schwarz coupling of Bidomain and Monodomain models in electrocardiology

Luca Gerardo-Giorda, Mauro Perego, Alessandro Veneziani (2011)

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

The Bidomain model is nowadays one of the most accurate mathematical descriptions of the action potential propagation in the heart. However, its numerical approximation is in general fairly expensive as a consequence of the mathematical features of this system. For this reason, a simplification of this model, called Monodomain problem is quite often adopted in order to reduce computational costs. Reliability of this model is however questionable, in particular in the presence of applied currents...

Optimized Schwarz Methods for the Bidomain system in electrocardiology

Luca Gerardo-Giorda, Mauro Perego (2013)

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

The propagation of the action potential in the heart chambers is accurately described by the Bidomain model, which is commonly accepted and used in the specialistic literature. However, its mathematical structure of a degenerate parabolic system entails high computational costs in the numerical solution of the associated linear system. Domain decomposition methods are a natural way to reduce computational costs, and Optimized Schwarz Methods have proven in the recent years their effectiveness in...

Origins, analysis, numerical analysis, and numerical approximation of a forward-backward parabolic problem

A. Kadir Aziz, Donald A. French, Soren Jensen, R. Bruce Kellogg (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider the analysis and numerical solution of a forward-backward boundary value problem. We provide some motivation, prove existence and uniqueness in a function class especially geared to the problem at hand, provide various energy estimates, prove a priori error estimates for the Galerkin method, and show the results of some numerical computations.
