A local approach to some non-linear evolution equations of hyperbolic type
We propose a multiscale model reduction method for partial differential equations. The main purpose of this method is to derive an effective equation for multiscale problems without scale separation. An essential ingredient of our method is to decompose the harmonic coordinates into a smooth part and a highly oscillatory part so that the smooth part is invertible and the highly oscillatory part is small. Such a decomposition plays a key role in our construction of the effective equation. We show...
We consider the numerical approximation of a first order stationary hyperbolic equation by the method of characteristics with pseudo time step k using discontinuous finite elements on a mesh . For this method, we exhibit a “natural” norm || ||h,k for which we show that the discrete variational problem is well posed and we obtain an error estimate. We show that when k goes to zero problem (resp. the || ||h,k norm) has as a limit problem (Ph) (resp. the || ||h norm) associated to the...
