Approximation of Parabolic Equations Using the Wasserstein Metric

David Kinderlehrer, Noel J. Walkington (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We illustrate how some interesting new variational principles can be used for the numerical approximation of solutions to certain (possibly degenerate) parabolic partial differential equations. One remarkable feature of the algorithms presented here is that derivatives do not enter into the variational principles, so, for example, discontinuous approximations may be used for approximating the heat equation. We present formulae for computing a Wasserstein metric which enters into the...

Applications of abstract parabolic quasi-variational inequalities to obstacle problems

Risei Kano (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper we study a class of abstract quasi-variational inequalities with nonlocal constraints depending on the unknown and establish an existence result. Further we give its applications to parabolic systems of partial differential inequalities with nonlocal obstacles depending on the unknowns.

Application of relaxation scheme to degenerate variational inequalities

Jela Babušíková (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we are concerned with the solution of degenerate variational inequalities. To solve this problem numerically, we propose a numerical scheme which is based on the relaxation scheme using non-standard time discretization. The approximate solution on each time level is obtained in the iterative way by solving the corresponding elliptic variational inequalities. The convergence of the method is proved.
