-stability of the upwind first order finite volume scheme for the Maxwell equations in two and three dimensions on arbitrary unstructured meshes
L2-stability of the upwind first order finite volume scheme for the Maxwell equations in two and three dimensions on arbitrary unstructured meshes
We investigate sufficient and possibly necessary conditions for the L2 stability of the upwind first order finite volume scheme for Maxwell equations, with metallic and absorbing boundary conditions. We yield a very general sufficient condition, valid for any finite volume partition in two and three space dimensions. We show this condition is necessary for a class of regular meshes in two space dimensions. However, numerical tests show it is not necessary in three space dimensions even on regular...
Le equazioni di evoluzione dei continui ferromagnetici
This expository paper is meant to be a faithful account the invited lecture I gave in Naples on September 14, 1999, during the 16th Congress of U.M.I., the Italian Mathematical Union. In Section 2, I consider the Gilbert equation, the parabolic equation that rules the evolution of the magnetization vector in a rigid ferromagnet. Among the issues I here discuss are the relations of the Gilbert equation to the harmonic map equation and its heat flow, the existence of global-in-time weak solutions,...
Linear scheme for finite element solution of nonlinear parabolic-elliptic problems with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition
The computation of nonlinear quasistationary two-dimensional magnetic fields leads to a nonlinear second order parabolic-elliptic initial-boundary value problem. Such a problem with a nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition on a part of the boundary is studied in this paper. The problem is discretized in space by the finite element method with linear functions on triangular elements and in time by the implicit-explicit method (the left-hand side by the implicit Euler method and the right-hand...
