Adaptive finite element methods for elliptic problems: Abstract framework and applications

Serge Nicaise, Sarah Cochez-Dhondt (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We consider a general abstract framework of a continuous elliptic problem set on a Hilbert space that is approximated by a family of (discrete) problems set on a finite-dimensional space of finite dimension not necessarily included into . We give a series of realistic conditions on an error estimator that allows to conclude that the marking strategy of bulk type leads to the geometric convergence of the adaptive algorithm. These conditions are then verified for different concrete...

Optimal convergence and a posteriori error analysis of the original DG method for advection-reaction equations

Tie Zhu Zhang, Shu Hua Zhang (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider the original DG method for solving the advection-reaction equations with arbitrary velocity in d space dimensions. For triangulations satisfying the flow condition, we first prove that the optimal convergence rate is of order k + 1 in the L 2 -norm if the method uses polynomials of order k . Then, a very simple derivative recovery formula is given to produce an approximation to the derivative in the flow direction which superconverges with order k + 1 . Further we consider a residual-based...

Finite element approximation for degenerate parabolic equations. An application of nonlinear semigroup theory

Akira Mizutani, Norikazu Saito, Takashi Suzuki (2005)

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

Similarity:

Finite element approximation for degenerate parabolic equations is considered. We propose a semidiscrete scheme provided with order-preserving and L 1 contraction properties, making use of piecewise linear trial functions and the lumping mass technique. Those properties allow us to apply nonlinear semigroup theory, and the wellposedness and stability in L 1 and L ∞ , respectively, of the scheme are established. Under certain hypotheses on the data, we also derive L 1 convergence without any convergence...

estimates for the Cahn–Hilliard equation with obstacle free energy

Ľubomír Baňas, Robert Nürnberg (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We derive estimates for a discretization in space of the standard Cahn–Hilliard equation with a double obstacle free energy. The derived estimates are robust and efficient, and in practice are combined with a heuristic time step adaptation. We present numerical experiments in two and three space dimensions and compare our method with an existing heuristic spatial mesh adaptation algorithm.

Error estimates for the numerical approximation of semilinear elliptic control problems with finitely many state constraints

Eduardo Casas (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The goal of this paper is to derive some error estimates for the numerical discretization of some optimal control problems governed by semilinear elliptic equations with bound constraints on the control and a finitely number of equality and inequality state constraints. We prove some error estimates for the optimal controls in the L ∞ norm and we also obtain error estimates for the Lagrange multipliers associated to the state constraints as well as for the optimal states and optimal adjoint...

A second-order finite volume element method on quadrilateral meshes for elliptic equations

Min Yang (2006)

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

Similarity:

In this paper, by use of affine biquadratic elements, we construct and analyze a finite volume element scheme for elliptic equations on quadrilateral meshes. The scheme is shown to be of second-order in H 1 -norm, provided that each quadrilateral in partition is almost a parallelogram. Numerical experiments are presented to confirm the usefulness and efficiency of the method.
