A gradient method for solving an optimal control problem described by a parabolic equation is considered. The gradient projection method is applied to solve the problem. The convergence of the projection algorithm is investigated.
We study the superconvergence of the finite volume method for a nonlinear elliptic problem using linear trial functions. Under the condition of -uniform meshes, we first establish a superclose weak estimate for the bilinear form of the finite volume method. Then, we prove that on the mesh point set , the gradient approximation possesses the superconvergence: , where denotes the average gradient on elements containing vertex . Furthermore, by using the interpolation post-processing technique,...
We prove an a priori error estimate for the hp-version of the boundary element method with hypersingular operators on piecewise plane open or closed surfaces. The underlying meshes are supposed to be quasi-uniform. The solutions of problems on polyhedral or piecewise plane open surfaces exhibit typical singularities which limit the convergence rate of the boundary element method. On closed surfaces, and for sufficiently smooth given data, the solution is H1-regular whereas, on open surfaces, edge...
Perturbed parameters are considered in a hypoplastic model of granular materials. For fixed parameters, the model response to a periodic stress loading and unloading converges to a limit state of strain. The focus of this contribution is the assessment of the change in the limit strain caused by varying model parameters.
