Weighted energy-dissipation functionals for gradient flows

Alexander Mielke, Ulisse Stefanelli (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We investigate a global-in-time variational approach to abstract evolution by means of the functionals proposed by Mielke and Ortiz [ (2008) 494–516]. In particular, we focus on gradient flows in Hilbert spaces. The main result is the convergence of minimizers and approximate minimizers of these functionals to the unique solution of the gradient flow. Sharp convergence rates are provided and the convergence analysis is combined with time-discretization. Applications...

Finite element approximations of a glaciology problem

Sum S. Chow, Graham F. Carey, Michael L. Anderson (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper we study a model problem describing the movement of a glacier under Glen's flow law and investigated by Colinge and Rappaz [Colinge and Rappaz, (1999) 395–406]. We establish error estimates for finite element approximation using the results of Chow [Chow, (1992) 769–780] and Liu and Barrett [Liu and Barrett, (1996) 98–106] and give an analysis of the convergence of the successive approximations used in [Colinge and Rappaz,...
