Necessary conditions for the multiple integral problem and elliptic variational inequalities
We study a numerical method for the diffusion of an age-structured population in a spatial environment. We extend the method proposed in [2] for linear diffusion problem, to the nonlinear case, where the diffusion coefficients depend on the total population. We integrate separately the age and time variables by finite differences and we discretize the space variable by finite elements. We provide stability and convergence results and we illustrate our approach with some numerical result.
We consider functionals of a potential energy corresponding to . We are dealing with with . Various types of the subsoil of the plate are described by various types of the nonlinear term . The aim of the paper is to find a suitable computational algorithm.
In this paper we propose a new numerical scheme to simulate the river flow in the presence of a variable bottom surface. We use the finite volume method, our approach is based on the technique described by D. L. George for shallow water equations. The main goal is to construct the scheme, which is well balanced, i.e. maintains not only some special steady states but all steady states which can occur. Furthermore this should preserve nonnegativity of some quantities, which are essentially nonnegative...
