Optimal asymptotic estimates for the volume of internal inhomogeneities in terms of multiple boundary measurements

Yves Capdeboscq, Michael S. Vogelius (2003)

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

We recently derived a very general representation formula for the boundary voltage perturbations caused by internal conductivity inhomogeneities of low volume fraction (cf. Capdeboscq and Vogelius (2003)). In this paper we show how this representation formula may be used to obtain very accurate estimates for the size of the inhomogeneities in terms of multiple boundary measurements. As demonstrated by our computational experiments, these estimates are significantly better than previously known (single...

Optimal control and numerical adaptivity for advection–diffusion equations

Luca Dede', Alfio Quarteroni (2005)

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

We propose a general approach for the numerical approximation of optimal control problems governed by a linear advection–diffusion equation, based on a stabilization method applied to the lagrangian functional, rather than stabilizing the state and adjoint equations separately. This approach yields a coherently stabilized control problem. Besides, it allows a straightforward a posteriori error estimate in which estimates of higher order terms are needless. Our a posteriori estimates stems from splitting...

Optimal control of an ill-posed elliptic semilinear equation with an exponential non linearity

E. Casas, O. Kavian, J.-P. Puel (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study here an optimal control problem for a semilinear elliptic equation with an exponential nonlinearity, such that we cannot expect to have a solution of the state equation for any given control. We then have to speak of pairs (control, state). After having defined a suitable functional class in which we look for solutions, we prove existence of an optimal pair for a large class of cost functions using a non standard compactness argument. Then, we derive a first order optimality system assuming...

Optimal control of fluid flow in soil 1. Deterministic case.

Youcef Kelanemer (1998)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We study the numerical aspect of the optimal control of problems governed by a linear elliptic partial differential equation (PDE). We consider here the gas flow in porous media. The observed variable is the flow field we want to maximize in a given part of the domain or its boundary. The control variable is the pressure at one part of the boundary or the discharges of some wells located in the interior of the domain. The objective functional is a balance between the norm of the flux in the observation...

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 convergence rates of hp mortar finite element methods for second-order elliptic problems

Faker Ben Belgacem, Padmanabhan Seshaiyer, Manil Suri (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present an improved, near-optimal hp error estimate for a non-conforming finite element method, called the mortar method (M0). We also present a new hp mortaring technique, called the mortar method (MP), and derive h, p and hp error estimates for it, in the presence of quasiuniform and non-quasiuniform meshes. Our theoretical results, augmented by the computational evidence we present, show that like (M0), (MP) is also a viable mortaring technique for the hp method.
