Some results on strongly nonlinear anisotropic differential equations

L. Bougoffa, A. El Khalil, S. El Manouni (2010)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The paper concerns the existence of weak solutions to nonlinear elliptic equations of the form A(u) + g(x,u,∇u) = f, where A is an operator from an appropriate anisotropic function space to its dual and the right hand side term is in L 1 + m with 0 < m < 1. We assume a sign condition on the nonlinear term g, but no growth restrictions on u.

Some simple nonlinear PDE's without solutions

Haïm Brezis, Xavier Cabré (1998)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In questo articolo consideriamo alcune semplici equazioni a derivate parziali elittiche nonlineari, per le quali il Teorema della Funzione Inversa, se applicato in modo formale, suggerisce l'esistenza di soluzioni. Nonostante ciò, proviamo che non esistono soluzioni neppure in vari sensi deboli. Un problema modello è dato da - Δ u = u 2 / x 2 + c in Ω , u = 0 su Ω , dove Ω R N , N 2 , è un dominio limitato contenente 0 . Per qualunque costante c > 0 , arbitrariamente piccola, proviamo che questo problema non ammette soluzioni distribuzionali...

Some superconvergence results of high-degree finite element method for a second order elliptic equation with variable coefficients

Xiaofei Guan, Mingxia Li, Wenming He, Zhengwu Jiang (2014)

Open Mathematics

In this paper, some superconvergence results of high-degree finite element method are obtained for solving a second order elliptic equation with variable coefficients on the inner locally symmetric mesh with respect to a point x 0 for triangular meshes. By using of the weak estimates and local symmetric technique, we obtain improved discretization errors of O(h p+1 |ln h|2) and O(h p+2 |ln h|2) when p (≥ 3) is odd and p (≥ 4) is even, respectively. Meanwhile, the results show that the combination...

Some theorems of Phragmen-Lindelof type for nonlinear partial differential equations.

Ramón Quintanilla (1993)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The present paper studies second order partial differential equations in two independent variables of the form Div(ρ1|u,1|n-1u,1, ρ2|u,2|n-1u,2) = 0. We obtain decay estimates for the solutions in a semi-infinite strip. The results may be seen as theorems of Phragmen-Lindelof type. The method is strongly based on the ideas of Horgan and Payne [5], [6], [8].

Some variants of the method of fundamental solutions: regularization using radial and nearly radial basis functions

Csaba Gáspár (2013)

Open Mathematics

The method of fundamental solutions and some versions applied to mixed boundary value problems are considered. Several strategies are outlined to avoid the problems due to the singularity of the fundamental solutions: the use of higher order fundamental solutions, and the use of nearly fundamental solutions and special fundamental solutions concentrated on lines instead of points. The errors of the approximations as well as the problem of ill-conditioned matrices are illustrated via numerical examples....

Sparse adaptive Taylor approximation algorithms for parametric and stochastic elliptic PDEs

Abdellah Chkifa, Albert Cohen, Ronald DeVore, Christoph Schwab (2013)

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

The numerical approximation of parametric partial differential equations is a computational challenge, in particular when the number of involved parameter is large. This paper considers a model class of second order, linear, parametric, elliptic PDEs on a bounded domain D with diffusion coefficients depending on the parameters in an affine manner. For such models, it was shown in [9, 10] that under very weak assumptions on the diffusion coefficients, the entire family of solutions to such equations...

Sparse finite element approximation of high-dimensional transport-dominated diffusion problems

Christoph Schwab, Endre Süli, Radu Alexandru Todor (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We develop the analysis of stabilized sparse tensor-product finite element methods for high-dimensional, non-self-adjoint and possibly degenerate second-order partial differential equations of the form - a : u + b · u + c u = f ( x ) , x Ω = ( 0 , 1 ) d d , where a d × d is a symmetric positive semidefinite matrix, using piecewise polynomials of degree p ≥ 1. Our convergence analysis is based on new high-dimensional approximation results in sparse tensor-product spaces. We show that the error between the analytical solution u and its stabilized sparse...
