Lagrangian and moving mesh methods for the convection diffusion equation

Konstantinos Chrysafinos, Noel J. Walkington (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We propose and analyze a semi Lagrangian method for the convection-diffusion equation. Error estimates for both semi and fully discrete finite element approximations are obtained for convection dominated flows. The estimates are posed in terms of the projections constructed in [Chrysafinos and Walkington,   (2006) 2478–2499; Chrysafinos and Walkington,   (2006) 349–366] and the dependence of various constants upon the diffusion parameter is characterized. Error estimates independent...

Numerical boundary layers for hyperbolic systems in 1-D

Claire Chainais-Hillairet, Emmanuel Grenier (2001)

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

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to investigate the stability of boundary layers which appear in numerical solutions of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension on regular meshes. We prove stability under a size condition for Lax Friedrichs type schemes and inconditionnal stability in the scalar case. Examples of unstable boundary layers are also given.

Convergence of discontinuous Galerkin approximations of an optimal control problem associated to semilinear parabolic PDE's

Konstantinos Chrysafinos (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

A discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for an optimal control problem related to semilinear parabolic PDE's is examined. The schemes under consideration are discontinuous in time but conforming in space. Convergence of discrete schemes of arbitrary order is proven. In addition, the convergence of discontinuous Galerkin approximations of the associated optimality system to the solutions of the continuous optimality system is shown. The proof is based on stability estimates at...

Galerkin approximations for the linear parabolic equation with the third boundary condition

István Faragó, Sergey Korotov, Pekka Neittaanmäki (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We solve a linear parabolic equation in ℝ d , d ≥ 1 , with the third nonhomogeneous boundary condition using the finite element method for discretization in space, and the θ -method for discretization in time. The convergence of both, the semidiscrete approximations and the fully discretized ones, is analysed. The proofs are based on a generalization of the idea of the elliptic projection. The rate of convergence is derived also for variable time step-sizes.

Stability and convergence of two discrete schemes for a degenerate solutal non-isothermal phase-field model

Francisco Guillén-González, Juan Vicente Gutiérrez-Santacreu (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We analyze two numerical schemes of Euler type in time and finite-element type with ℙ 1 -approximation in space for solving a phase-field model of a binary alloy with thermal properties. This model is written as a highly non-linear parabolic system with three unknowns: phase-field, solute concentration and temperature, where the diffusion for the temperature and solute concentration may degenerate. The first scheme is nonlinear, unconditionally stable and convergent....

Numerical study of natural superconvergence in least-squares finite element methods for elliptic problems

Runchang Lin, Zhimin Zhang (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Natural superconvergence of the least-squares finite element method is surveyed for the one- and two-dimensional Poisson equation. For two-dimensional problems, both the families of Lagrange elements and Raviart-Thomas elements have been considered on uniform triangular and rectangular meshes. Numerical experiments reveal that many superconvergence properties of the standard Galerkin method are preserved by the least-squares finite element method.

Skipping transition conditions in error estimates for finite element discretizations of parabolic equations

Stefano Berrone (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper we derive error estimates for the heat equation. The time discretization strategy is based on a -method and the mesh used for each time-slab is independent of the mesh used for the previous time-slab. The novelty of this paper is an upper bound for the error caused by the coarsening of the mesh used for computing the solution in the previous time-slab. The technique applied for deriving this upper bound is independent of the problem and can be generalized to other time...
