Selected applications of the algebraic classification of tensors on Lorentzian manifolds of arbitrary dimension are discussed. We clarify some aspects of the relationship between invariants of tensors and their algebraic class, discuss generalization of Newman-Penrose and Geroch-Held-Penrose formalisms to arbitrary dimension and study an application of the algebraic classification to the case of quadratic gravity.
We deal with a numerical solution of nonlinear convection-diffusion equations with the aid of the discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM). We propose a new -adaptation technique, which is based on a combination of a residuum estimator and a regularity indicator. The residuum estimator as well as the regularity indicator are easily evaluated quantities without the necessity to solve any local problem and/or any reconstruction of the approximate solution. The performance of the proposed -DGM is demonstrated....
We present analytical solution of the Stokes problem in rotationally symmetric domains. This is then used to find the asymptotic behaviour of the solution in the vicinity of corners, also for Navier-Stokes equations. We apply this to construct very precise numerical finite element solution.
We present analytical solution of the Stokes problem in 2D domains. This is then used to find the asymptotic behavior of the solution in the vicinity of corners, also for Navier-Stokes equations in 2D. We apply this to construct very precise numerical finite element solution.
Multi-dimensional advection terms are an important part of many large-scale mathematical models which arise in different fields of science and engineering. After applying some kind of splitting, these terms can be handled separately from the remaining part of the mathematical model under consideration. It is important to treat the multi-dimensional advection in a sufficiently accurate manner. It is shown in this paper that high order of accuracy can be achieved when the well-known Crank-Nicolson...
