A Multiscale Model Reduction Method for Partial Differential Equations

Maolin Ci, Thomas Y. Hou, Zuoqiang Shi (2014)

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

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...

A “Natural” Norm for the Method of Characteristics Using Discontinuous Finite Elements : 2D and 3D case

Jacques Baranger, Ahmed Machmoum (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

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 𝒯 h . For this method, we exhibit a “natural” norm || ||h,k for which we show that the discrete variational problem P h k is well posed and we obtain an error estimate. We show that when k goes to zero problem ( P h k ) (resp. the || ||h,k norm) has as a limit problem (Ph) (resp. the || ||h norm) associated to the...

A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an exponential attractor

Dalibor Pražák (2003)

Open Mathematics

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an exponential attractor. The condition is formulated in the context of metric spaces. It also captures the quantitative properties of the attractor, i.e., the dimension and the rate of attraction. As an application, we show that the evolution operator for the wave equation with nonlinear damping has an exponential attractor.
