Analysis of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method applied to a scalar nonlinear convection-diffusion equation

Hozman, Jiří, Dolejší, Vít

Similarity:

We deal with a scalar nonstationary convection-diffusion equation with nonlinear convective as well as diffusive terms which represents a model problem for the solution of the system of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations describing a motion of viscous compressible fluids. We present a discretization of this model equation by the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method. Moreover, under some assumptions on the nonlinear terms, domain partitions and the regularity of the exact...

The gradient superconvergence of the finite volume method for a nonlinear elliptic problem of nonmonotone type

Tie Zhu Zhang, Shu Hua Zhang (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We study the superconvergence of the finite volume method for a nonlinear elliptic problem using linear trial functions. Under the condition of C -uniform meshes, we first establish a superclose weak estimate for the bilinear form of the finite volume method. Then, we prove that on the mesh point set S , the gradient approximation possesses the superconvergence: max P S | ( u - ¯ u h ) ( P ) | = O ( h 2 ) | ln h | 3 / 2 , where ¯ denotes the average gradient on elements containing vertex P . Furthermore, by using the interpolation post-processing...

Estimator selection in the gaussian setting

Yannick Baraud, Christophe Giraud, Sylvie Huet (2014)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We consider the problem of estimating the mean f of a Gaussian vector Y with independent components of common unknown variance σ 2 . Our estimation procedure is based on estimator selection. More precisely, we start with an arbitrary and possibly infinite collection 𝔽 of estimators of f based on Y and, with the same data Y , aim at selecting an estimator among 𝔽 with the smallest Euclidean risk. No assumptions on the estimators are made and their dependencies with respect to Y may be unknown....

Porous medium equation and fast diffusion equation as gradient systems

Samuel Littig, Jürgen Voigt (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We show that the Porous Medium Equation and the Fast Diffusion Equation, u ˙ - Δ u m = f , with m ( 0 , ) , can be modeled as a gradient system in the Hilbert space H - 1 ( Ω ) , and we obtain existence and uniqueness of solutions in this framework. We deal with bounded and certain unbounded open sets Ω n and do not require any boundary regularity. Moreover, the approach is used to discuss the asymptotic behaviour and order preservation of solutions.

On estimation of diffusion coefficient based on spatio-temporal FRAP images: An inverse ill-posed problem

Kaňa, Radek, Matonoha, Ctirad, Papáček, Štěpán, Soukup, Jindřich

Similarity:

We present the method for determination of phycobilisomes diffusivity (diffusion coefficient D ) on thylakoid membrane from fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments. This was usually done by analytical models consisting mainly of a simple curve fitting procedure. However, analytical models need some unrealistic conditions to be supposed. Our method, based on finite difference approximation of the process governed by the Fickian diffusion equation and on the minimization...

Noureddine Igbida, Mokhtar Kirane (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

This paper provides blow up results of Fujita type for a reaction-diffusion system of 3 equations in the form u - Δ ( a 11 u ) = h ( t , x ) | v | p , v - Δ ( a 21 u ) - Δ ( a 22 v ) = k ( t , x ) | w | q , w - Δ ( a 31 u ) - Δ ( a 32 v ) - Δ ( a 33 w ) = l ( t , x ) | u | r , for x N , t > 0, p > 0, q > 0, r > 0, a i j = a i j ( t , x , u , v ) , under initial conditions u(0,x) = u₀(x), v(0,x) = v₀(x), w(0,x) = w₀(x) for x N , where u₀, v₀, w₀ are nonnegative, continuous and bounded functions. Subject to conditions on dependence on the parameters p, q, r, N and the growth of the functions h, k, l at infinity, we prove finite blow up time for every solution of the...

Metastability in reversible diffusion processes I: Sharp asymptotics for capacities and exit times

Anton Bovier, Michael Eckhoff, Véronique Gayrard, Markus Klein (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We develop a potential theoretic approach to the problem of metastability for reversible diffusion processes with generators of the form ϵ Δ + F ( · ) on d or subsets of d , where F is a smooth function with finitely many local minima. In analogy to previous work on discrete Markov chains, we show that metastable exit times from the attractive domains of the minima of F can be related, up to multiplicative errors that tend to one as ϵ 0 , to the capacities of suitably constructed sets. We show that...

Metastability in reversible diffusion processes II: precise asymptotics for small eigenvalues

Anton Bovier, Véronique Gayrard, Markus Klein (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We continue the analysis of the problem of metastability for reversible diffusion processes, initiated in [BEGK3], with a precise analysis of the low-lying spectrum of the generator. Recall that we are considering processes with generators of the form ϵ Δ + F ( · ) on d or subsets of d , where F is a smooth function with finitely many local minima. Here we consider only the generic situation where the depths of all local minima are different. We show that in general the exponentially small part of...

Spreading and vanishing in nonlinear diffusion problems with free boundaries

Yihong Du, Bendong Lou (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study nonlinear diffusion problems of the form u t = u x x + f ( u ) with free boundaries. Such problems may be used to describe the spreading of a biological or chemical species, with the free boundary representing the expanding front. For special f ( u ) of the Fisher-KPP type, the problem was investigated by Du and Lin [DL]. Here we consider much more general nonlinear terms. For any f ( u ) which is C 1 and satisfies f ( 0 ) = 0 , we show that the omega limit set ω ( u ) of every bounded positive solution is determined by a stationary...

Orthogonal series regression estimation under long-range dependent errors

Waldemar Popiński (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with general conditions for convergence rates of nonparametric orthogonal series estimators of the regression function. The estimators are obtained by the least squares method on the basis of an observation sample Y i = f ( X i ) + η i , i=1,...,n, where X i A d are independently chosen from a distribution with density ϱ ∈ L¹(A) and η i are zero mean stationary errors with long-range dependence. Convergence rates of the error n - 1 i = 1 n ( f ( X i ) - f ̂ N ( X i ) ) ² for the estimator f ̂ N ( x ) = k = 1 N c ̂ k e k ( x ) , constructed using an orthonormal system...

We prove the existence of uniform attractors ε in the space H ¹ ( N ) for the nonautonomous nonclassical diffusion equation u t - ε Δ u t - Δ u + f ( x , u ) + λ u = g ( x , t ) , ε ∈ [0,1]. The upper semicontinuity of the uniform attractors ε ε [ 0 , 1 ] at ε = 0 is also studied.

On inertial manifolds for reaction-diffusion equations on genuinely high-dimensional thin domains

M. Prizzi, K. P. Rybakowski (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study a family of semilinear reaction-diffusion equations on spatial domains Ω ε , ε > 0, in l lying close to a k-dimensional submanifold ℳ of l . As ε → 0⁺, the domains collapse onto (a subset of) ℳ. As proved in [15], the above family has a limit equation, which is an abstract semilinear parabolic equation defined on a certain limit phase space denoted by H ¹ s ( Ω ) . The definition of H ¹ s ( Ω ) , given in the above paper, is very abstract. One of the objectives of this paper is to give more manageable...

Optimal estimators in learning theory

V. N. Temlyakov (2006)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

This paper is a survey of recent results on some problems of supervised learning in the setting formulated by Cucker and Smale. Supervised learning, or learning-from-examples, refers to a process that builds on the base of available data of inputs x i and outputs y i , i = 1,...,m, a function that best represents the relation between the inputs x ∈ X and the corresponding outputs y ∈ Y. The goal is to find an estimator f z on the base of given data z : = ( ( x , y ) , . . . , ( x m , y m ) ) that approximates well the regression function...

We give a sufficient condition for the existence of a Lyapunov function for the system aₜ = ∇(k(a,c)∇a - h(a,c)∇c), x ∈ Ω, t > 0, ε c = k c Δ c - f ( c ) c + g ( a , c ) , x ∈ Ω, t > 0, for Ω N , completed with either a = c = 0, or ∂a/∂n = ∂c/∂n = 0, or k(a,c) ∂a/∂n = h(a,c) ∂c/∂n, c = 0 on ∂Ω × t > 0. Furthermore we study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution and give some uniform L p -estimates.
