Efficient numerical solution of mixed finite element discretizations by adaptive multilevel methods

Ronald H.W. Hoppe, Barbara Wohlmuth (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider mixed finite element discretizations of second order elliptic boundary value problems. Emphasis is on the efficient iterative solution by multilevel techniques with respect to an adaptively generated hierarchy of nonuniform triangulations. In particular, we present two multilevel solvers, the first one relying on ideas from domain decomposition and the second one resulting from mixed hybridization. Local refinement of the underlying triangulations is done by efficient and...

Residual and hierarchical a posteriori error estimates for nonconforming mixed finite element methods

Linda El Alaoui, Alexandre Ern (2004)

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

Similarity:

We analyze residual and hierarchical a posteriori error estimates for nonconforming finite element approximations of elliptic problems with variable coefficients. We consider a finite volume box scheme equivalent to a nonconforming mixed finite element method in a Petrov–Galerkin setting. We prove that all the estimators yield global upper and local lower bounds for the discretization error. Finally, we present results illustrating the efficiency of the estimators, for instance, in the...

Similarity:

In this paper we combine the dual-mixed finite element method with a Dirichlet-to-Neumann mapping (given in terms of a boundary integral operator) to solve linear exterior transmission problems in the plane. As a model we consider a second order elliptic equation in divergence form coupled with the Laplace equation in the exterior unbounded region. We show that the resulting mixed variational formulation and an associated discrete scheme using Raviart-Thomas spaces are well posed, and...

Implicit a posteriori error estimation using patch recovery techniques

Tamás Horváth, Ferenc Izsák (2012)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

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...

A residual based a posteriori error estimator for an augmented mixed finite element method in linear elasticity

Tomás P. Barrios, Gabriel N. Gatica, María González, Norbert Heuer (2006)

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

Similarity:

In this paper we develop a residual based a posteriori error analysis for an augmented mixed finite element method applied to the problem of linear elasticity in the plane. More precisely, we derive a reliable and efficient a posteriori error estimator for the case of pure Dirichlet boundary conditions. In addition, several numerical experiments confirming the theoretical properties of the estimator, and illustrating the capability of the corresponding adaptive algorithm to localize...

Error estimation and adaptivity for nonlinear FE analysis

Antonio Huerta, Antonio Rodríguez-Ferran, Pedro Díez (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

An adaptive strategy for nonlinear finite-element analysis, based on the combination of error estimation and h-remeshing, is presented. Its two main ingredients are a residual-type error estimator and an unstructured quadrilateral mesh generator. The error estimator is based on simple local computations over the elements and the so-called patches. In contrast to other residual estimators, no flux splitting is required. The adaptive strategy is illustrated by means of a complex nonlinear...

A posteriori error estimates with post-processing for nonconforming finite elements

Friedhelm Schieweck (2002)

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

Similarity:

For a nonconforming finite element approximation of an elliptic model problem, we propose a posteriori error estimates in the energy norm which use as an additive term the “post-processing error” between the original nonconforming finite element solution and an easy computable conforming approximation of that solution. Thus, for the error analysis, the existing theory from the conforming case can be used together with some simple additional arguments. As an essential point, the property...

A finite element method for domain decomposition with non-matching grids

Roland Becker, Peter Hansbo, Rolf Stenberg (2003)

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

Similarity:

In this note, we propose and analyse a method for handling interfaces between non-matching grids based on an approach suggested by Nitsche (1971) for the approximation of Dirichlet boundary conditions. The exposition is limited to self-adjoint elliptic problems, using Poisson’s equation as a model. A priori and a posteriori error estimates are given. Some numerical results are included.
