Second order elliptic systems with boundary conditions of Dirichlet, Neumann’s or Newton’s type are solved by means of linear finite elements on regular uniform triangulations. Error estimates of the optimal order are proved for the averaged gradient on any fixed interior subdomain, provided the problem under consideration is regular in a certain sense.
Second order elliptic systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions are solved by means of affine finite elements on regular uniform triangulations. A simple averagign scheme is proposed, which implies a superconvergence of the gradient. For domains with enough smooth boundary, a global estimate is proved in the -norm. For a class of polygonal domains the global estimate can be proven.
We construct a testing function space, which is equipped with the topology that is generated by Lν,p - multinorm of the differential operatorAx = x2 - x d/dx [x d/dx],and its k-th iterates Akx, where k = 0, 1, ... , and A0xφ = φ. Comparing with other testing-function spaces, we introduce in its dual the Kontorovich-Lebedev transformation for distributions with respect to a complex index. The existence, uniqueness, imbedding and inversion properties are investigated. As an application we find a solution...
We consider the local projection finite element method for the discretization of a scalar convection-diffusion equation with a divergence-free convection field. We introduce a new fluctuation operator which is defined using an orthogonal projection with respect to a weighted inner product. We prove that the bilinear form corresponding to the discrete problem satisfies an inf-sup condition with respect to the SUPG norm and derive an error estimate for the discrete solution.
We prove some multiplicity results concerning quasilinear elliptic equations with natural growth conditions. Techniques of nonsmooth critical point theory are employed.
We consider the parabolic equation (P) , (t,x) ∈ ℝ₊ × ℝⁿ, and the corresponding semiflow π in the phase space H¹. We give conditions on the nonlinearity F(x,u), ensuring that all bounded sets of H¹ are π-admissible in the sense of Rybakowski. If F(x,u) is asymptotically linear, under appropriate non-resonance conditions, we use Conley’s index theory to prove the existence of nontrivial equilibria of (P) and of heteroclinic trajectories joining some of these equilibria. The results obtained extend...
In this paper we derive results concerning the angular distrubition of the eigenvalues and the completeness of the principal vectors in certain function spaces for an oblique derivative problem involving an indefinite weight function for a second order elliptic operator defined in a bounded region.
We prove that penalization of constraints occuring in the linear elliptic Neumann problem yields directly the exact solution for an arbitrary set of penalty parameters. In this case there is a continuum of Lagrange's multipliers. The proposed penalty method is applied to calculate the magnetic field in the window of a transformer.
