Necessary conditions for uniform convergence of finite difference schemes for convection-diffusion problems with exponential and parabolic layers

Hans-Görg RoosMartin Stynes — 1996

Applications of Mathematics

Singularly perturbed problems of convection-diffusion type cannot be solved numerically in a completely satisfactory manner by standard numerical methods. This indicates the need for robust or ϵ -uniform methods. In this paper we derive new conditions for such schemes with special emphasize to parabolic layers.

N -widths for singularly perturbed problems

Martin StynesR. Bruce Kellogg — 2002

Mathematica Bohemica

Kolmogorov N -widths are an approximation theory concept that, for a given problem, yields information about the optimal rate of convergence attainable by any numerical method applied to that problem. We survey sharp bounds recently obtained for the N -widths of certain singularly perturbed convection-diffusion and reaction-diffusion boundary value problems.

A curious property of oscillatory FEM solutions of one-dimensional convection-diffusion problems

Madden, NiallStynes, Martin — 2012

Applications of Mathematics 2012

Song, Yin and Zhang (Int. J. Numer. Anal. Model. 4: 127-140, 2007) discovered a remarkable property of oscillatory finite element solutions of one-dimensional convection-diffusion problems that leads to a novel numerical method for the solution of such problems. In the present paper this property is described using several figures, then a simple proof of the phenomenon is given which is much more intuitive than the technical analysis of Song et al.

The combination technique for a two-dimensional convection-diffusion problem with exponential layers

Sebastian FranzFang LiuHans-Görg RoosMartin StynesAihui Zhou — 2009

Applications of Mathematics

Convection-diffusion problems posed on the unit square and with solutions displaying exponential layers are solved using a sparse grid Galerkin finite element method with Shishkin meshes. Writing N for the maximum number of mesh intervals in each coordinate direction, our “combination” method simply adds or subtracts solutions that have been computed by the Galerkin FEM on N × N , N × N and N × N meshes. It is shown that the combination FEM yields (up to a factor ln N ) the same order of accuracy in the associated...
