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.

Postprocessing of a finite volume element method for semilinear parabolic problems

Min Yang, Chunjia Bi, Jiangguo Liu (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper, we study a postprocessing procedure for improving accuracy of the finite volume element approximations of semilinear parabolic problems. The procedure amounts to solve a source problem on a coarser grid and then solve a linear elliptic problem on a finer grid after the time evolution is finished. We derive error estimates in the and norms for the standard finite volume element scheme and an improved error estimate in the ...

Finite element methods on non-conforming grids by penalizing the matching constraint

Eric Boillat (2003)

Similarity:

The present paper deals with a finite element approximation of partial differential equations when the domain is decomposed into sub-domains which are meshed independently. The method we obtain is never conforming because the continuity constraints on the boundary of the sub-domains are not imposed strongly but only penalized. We derive a selection rule for the penalty parameter which ensures a quasi-optimal convergence.

Flux-upwind stabilization of the discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin formulation with Lagrange multipliers for advection-diffusion problems

Paola Causin, Riccardo Sacco, Carlo L. Bottasso (2005)

Similarity:

In this work we consider the dual-primal Discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin (DPG) method for the advection-diffusion model problem. Since in the DPG method both mixed internal variables are discontinuous, a static condensation procedure can be carried out, leading to a single-field nonconforming discretization scheme. For this latter formulation, we propose a flux-upwind stabilization technique to deal with the advection-dominated case. The resulting scheme is conservative and satisfies a...

Approximation of a nonlinear elliptic problem arising in a non-newtonian fluid flow model in glaciology

Roland Glowinski, Jacques Rappaz (2003)

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

Similarity:

The main goal of this article is to establish a priori and a posteriori error estimates for the numerical approximation of some non linear elliptic problems arising in glaciology. The stationary motion of a glacier is given by a non-newtonian fluid flow model which becomes, in a first two-dimensional approximation, the so-called infinite parallel sided slab model. The approximation of this model is made by a finite element method with piecewise polynomial functions of degree 1. Numerical...

Mixed discontinuous Galerkin approximation of the Maxwell operator : the indefinite case

Paul Houston, Ilaria Perugia, Anna Schneebeli, Dominik Schötzau (2005)

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

Similarity:

We present and analyze an interior penalty method for the numerical discretization of the indefinite time-harmonic Maxwell equations in mixed form. The method is based on the mixed discretization of the curl-curl operator developed in [Houston et al., J. Sci. Comp. 22 (2005) 325–356] and can be understood as a non-stabilized variant of the approach proposed in [Perugia et al., Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg. 191 (2002) 4675–4697]. We show the well-posedness of this approach and derive...
