Residual and hierarchical a posteriori error estimates for nonconforming mixed finite element methods

Linda El Alaoui, Alexandre Ern (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We analyze residual and hierarchical a posteriori error estimates for nonconforming finite element approximations of elliptic problems with variable coefficients. We consider a finite volume box scheme equivalent to a nonconforming mixed finite element method in a Petrov–Galerkin setting. We prove that all the estimators yield global upper and local lower bounds for the discretization error. Finally, we present results illustrating the efficiency of the estimators, for instance, in the simulation...

Robust semi-coarsening multilevel preconditioning of biquadratic FEM systems

Maria Lymbery, Svetozar Margenov (2012)

Open Mathematics

While a large amount of papers are dealing with robust multilevel methods and algorithms for linear FEM elliptic systems, the related higher order FEM problems are much less studied. Moreover, we know that the standard hierarchical basis two-level splittings deteriorate for strongly anisotropic problems. A first robust multilevel preconditioner for higher order FEM systems obtained after discretizations of elliptic problems with an anisotropic diffusion tensor is presented in this paper. We study...

Scattering problems in a domain with small holes.

V. Chiadò Piat, M. Codegone (2003)

RACSAM

In this paper, we consider a family of scattering problems in perforated unbounded domains Ωε. We assume that the perforation is contained in a bounded region and that the holes have a ?critical? size. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the outgoing solutions of the steady-state scattering problem and we prove that an extra term appears in the limit equation. Finally, we obtain convergence results for scattering frequencies and solutions.

Schiffer problem and isoparametric hypersurfaces.

Vladimir E. Shklover (2000)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

The Schiffer Problem as originally stated for Euclidean spaces (and later for some symmetric spaces) is the following: Given a bounded connected open set Ω with a regular boundary and such that the complement of its closure is connected, does the existence of a solution to the Overdetermined Neumann Problem (N) imply that Ω is a ball? The same question for the Overdetermined Dirichlet Problem (D). We consider the generalization of the Schiffer problem to an arbitrary Riemannian manifold and also...

Semilinear elliptic problems in unbounded domains

Aleksandra Orpel (2006)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We investigate the existence of positive solutions and their continuous dependence on functional parameters for a semilinear Dirichlet problem. We discuss the case when the domain is unbounded and the nonlinearity is smooth and convex on a certain interval only.
