On the traces of W2,p(Ω) for a Lipschitz domain.

Ricardo G. Durán, María Amelia Muschietti (2001)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We extend to the case 1 < p the results obtained by Geymonat and Krasucki for p = 2 on the characterization of the traces of W2,p(Ω) for a bounded Lipschitz domain.

Optimal convergence of a discontinuous-Galerkin-based immersed boundary method*

Adrian J. Lew, Matteo Negri (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We prove the optimal convergence of a discontinuous-Galerkin-based immersed boundary method introduced earlier [Lew and Buscaglia, Int. J. Numer. Methods Eng.76 (2008) 427–454]. By switching to a discontinuous Galerkin discretization near the boundary, this method overcomes the suboptimal convergence rate that may arise in immersed boundary methods when strongly imposing essential boundary conditions. We consider a model Poisson's problem with homogeneous boundary conditions over two-dimensional...

Optimal potentials for Schrödinger operators

Giuseppe Buttazzo, Augusto Gerolin, Berardo Ruffini, Bozhidar Velichkov (2014)

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

We consider the Schrödinger operator - Δ + V ( x ) on H 0 1 ( Ω ) , where Ω is a given domain of d . Our goal is to study some optimization problems where an optimal potential V 0 has to be determined in some suitable admissible classes and for some suitable optimization criteria, like the energy or the Dirichlet eigenvalues.

Particle Dynamics Modelling of Cell Populations

N. Bessonov, P. Kurbatova, V. Volpert (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Evolution of cell populations can be described with dissipative particle dynamics, where each cell moves according to the balance of forces acting on it, or with partial differential equations, where cell population is considered as a continuous medium. We compare these two approaches for some model examples

Partition of unity method for Helmholtz equation: q -convergence for plane-wave and wave-band local bases

Theofanis Strouboulis, Realino Hidajat (2006)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we study the q -version of the Partition of Unity Method for the Helmholtz equation. The method is obtained by employing the standard bilinear finite element basis on a mesh of quadrilaterals discretizing the domain as the Partition of Unity used to paste together local bases of special wave-functions employed at the mesh vertices. The main topic of the paper is the comparison of the performance of the method for two choices of local basis functions, namely a) plane-waves, and b) wave-bands....

Plane wave discontinuous Galerkin methods: Analysis of the h-version

Claude J. Gittelson, Ralf Hiptmair, Ilaria Perugia (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We are concerned with a finite element approximation for time-harmonic wave propagation governed by the Helmholtz equation. The usually oscillatory behavior of solutions, along with numerical dispersion, render standard finite element methods grossly inefficient already in medium-frequency regimes. As an alternative, methods that incorporate information about the solution in the form of plane waves have been proposed. We focus on a class of Trefftz-type discontinuous Galerkin methods that ...
