A matching of singularities in domain decomposition methods for reaction-diffusion problems with discontinuous coefficients

Chokri Chniti (2011)

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

Similarity:

In this paper we certify that the same approach proposed in previous works by Chniti  [ 342 (2006) 883–886; 45 (2008) 111–147; 38 (2009) 207–228] can be applied to more general operators with strong heterogeneity in the coefficients. We consider here the case of reaction-diffusion problems with piecewise constant coefficients. The problem reduces to determining the coefficients of some transmission conditions to obtain fast convergence of domain decomposition methods. After explaining...

Spectral Galerkin approximation of Fokker-Planck equations with unbounded drift

David J. Knezevic, Endre Süli (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the analysis and implementation of spectral Galerkin methods for a class of Fokker-Planck equations that arises from the kinetic theory of dilute polymers. A relevant feature of the class of equations under consideration from the viewpoint of mathematical analysis and numerical approximation is the presence of an unbounded drift coefficient, involving a smooth convex potential that is equal to +∞ along the boundary ∂ of the computational domain . Using...

Two-scale FEM for homogenization problems

Ana-Maria Matache, Christoph Schwab (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

The convergence of a two-scale FEM for elliptic problems in divergence form with coefficients and geometries oscillating at length scale ε << 1 is analyzed. Full elliptic regularity independent of is shown when the solution is viewed as mapping from the slow into the fast scale. Two-scale FE spaces which are able to resolve the scale of the solution with work independent of and without analytical homogenization are introduced. Robust in error estimates for the two-scale...

Error Control and Andaptivity for a Phase Relaxation Model

Zhiming Chen, Ricardo H. Nochetto, Alfred Schmidt (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

The phase relaxation model is a diffuse interface model with small parameter which consists of a parabolic PDE for temperature and an ODE with double obstacles for phase variable . To decouple the system a semi-explicit Euler method with variable step-size is used for time discretization, which requires the stability constraint . Conforming piecewise linear finite elements over highly graded simplicial meshes with parameter are further employed for space discretization. error estimates...

Multiscale modelling of sound propagation through the lung parenchyma

Paul Cazeaux, Jan S. Hesthaven (2014)

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

Similarity:

In this paper we develop and study numerically a model to describe some aspects of sound propagation in the human lung, considered as a deformable and viscoelastic porous medium (the parenchyma) with millions of alveoli filled with air. Transmission of sound through the lung above 1 kHz is known to be highly frequency-dependent. We pursue the key idea that the viscoelastic parenchyma structure is highly heterogeneous on the small scale and use two-scale homogenization techniques to...

The Influence of Look-Ahead on the Error Rate of Transcription

Y. R. Yamada, C. S. Peskin (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

In this paper we study the error rate of RNA synthesis in the look-ahead model for the random walk of RNA polymerase along DNA during transcription. The model’s central assumption is the existence of a in which ribonucleoside triphosphates (rNTPs) bind reversibly to the template DNA strand before being hydrolyzed and linked covalently to the nascent RNA chain. An unknown, but important, integer parameter of this model is the window size...

A localized orthogonal decomposition method for semi-linear elliptic problems

Patrick Henning, Axel Målqvist, Daniel Peterseim (2014)

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

Similarity:

In this paper we propose and analyze a localized orthogonal decomposition (LOD) method for solving semi-linear elliptic problems with heterogeneous and highly variable coefficient functions. This Galerkin-type method is based on a generalized finite element basis that spans a low dimensional multiscale space. The basis is assembled by performing localized linear fine-scale computations on small patches that have a diameter of order | log () | where is the coarse mesh size. Without...
