Galerkin approximation with proper orthogonal decomposition : new error estimates and illustrative examples

Dominique Chapelle, Asven Gariah, Jacques Sainte-Marie (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We propose a numerical analysis of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) model reductions in which a priori error estimates are expressed in terms of the projection errors that are controlled in the construction of POD bases. These error estimates are derived for generic parabolic evolution PDEs, including with non-linear Lipschitz right-hand sides, and for wave-like equations. A specific projection continuity norm appears in the estimates and – whereas a general uniform continuity bound seems out...

Green’s function pointwise estimates for the modified Lax–Friedrichs scheme

Pauline Godillon (2003)

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

The aim of this paper is to find estimates of the Green’s function of stationary discrete shock profiles and discrete boundary layers of the modified Lax–Friedrichs numerical scheme, by using techniques developed by Zumbrun and Howard [27] in the continuous viscous setting.

Implementation of optimal Galerkin and Collocation approximations of PDEs with Random Coefficients⋆⋆⋆

J. Beck, F. Nobile, L. Tamellini, R. Tempone (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

In this work we first focus on the Stochastic Galerkin approximation of the solution u of an elliptic stochastic PDE. We rely on sharp estimates for the decay of the coefficients of the spectral expansion of u on orthogonal polynomials to build a sequence of polynomial subspaces that features better convergence properties compared to standard polynomial subspaces such as Total Degree or Tensor Product. We consider then the Stochastic Collocation method, and use the previous estimates to introduce...

Implicit difference methods for nonlinear first order partial functional differential systems

Elżbieta Puźniakowska-Gałuch (2010)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Initial problems for nonlinear hyperbolic functional differential systems are considered. Classical solutions are approximated by solutions of suitable quasilinear systems of difference functional equations. The numerical methods used are difference schemes which are implicit with respect to the time variable. Theorems on convergence of difference schemes and error estimates of approximate solutions are presented. The proof of the stability is based on a comparison technique with nonlinear estimates...

Instability of the eikonal equation and shape from shading

Ian Barnes, Kewei Zhang (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In the shape from shading problem of computer vision one attempts to recover the three-dimensional shape of an object or landscape from the shading on a single image. Under the assumptions that the surface is dusty, distant, and illuminated only from above, the problem reduces to that of solving the eikonal equation |Du|=f on a domain in 2 . Despite various existence and uniqueness theorems for smooth solutions, we show that this problem is unstable, which is catastrophic for general numerical algorithms. ...

Lagrangian approximations and weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

Werner Varnhorn (2008)

Banach Center Publications

The motion of a viscous incompressible fluid flow in bounded domains with a smooth boundary can be described by the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations. This description corresponds to the so-called Eulerian approach. We develop a new approximation method for the Navier-Stokes equations in both the stationary and the non-stationary case by a suitable coupling of the Eulerian and the Lagrangian representation of the flow, where the latter is defined by the trajectories of the particles of the fluid....
