A posteriori error estimates for the 3 D stabilized Mortar finite element method applied to the Laplace equation

Zakaria Belhachmi (2003)

Similarity:

We consider a non-conforming stabilized domain decomposition technique for the discretization of the three-dimensional Laplace equation. The aim is to extend the numerical analysis of residual error indicators to this model problem. Two formulations of the problem are considered and the error estimators are studied for both. In the first one, the error estimator provides upper and lower bounds for the energy norm of the mortar finite element solution whereas in the second case, it also...

New mixed finite volume methods for second order eliptic problems

Kwang Y. Kim (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper we introduce and analyze new mixed finite volume methods for second order elliptic problems which are based on (div)- approximations for the vector variable and approximations for the scalar variable. The discretization is fulfilled by combining the ideas of the traditional finite volume box method and the local discontinuous Galerkin method. We propose two different types of methods, called Methods I and II, and show that they have distinct advantages over the mixed...

Mixed discontinuous Galerkin approximation of the Maxwell operator : the indefinite case

Paul Houston, Ilaria Perugia, Anna Schneebeli, Dominik Schötzau (2005)

Similarity:

We present and analyze an interior penalty method for the numerical discretization of the indefinite time-harmonic Maxwell equations in mixed form. The method is based on the mixed discretization of the curl-curl operator developed in [Houston et al., J. Sci. Comp. 22 (2005) 325–356] and can be understood as a non-stabilized variant of the approach proposed in [Perugia et al., Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg. 191 (2002) 4675–4697]. We show the well-posedness of this approach and derive...

Postprocessing of a finite volume element method for semilinear parabolic problems

Min Yang, Chunjia Bi, Jiangguo Liu (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper, we study a postprocessing procedure for improving accuracy of the finite volume element approximations of semilinear parabolic problems. The procedure amounts to solve a source problem on a coarser grid and then solve a linear elliptic problem on a finer grid after the time evolution is finished. We derive error estimates in the and norms for the standard finite volume element scheme and an improved error estimate in the ...
