Numerical approaches to rate-independent processes and applications in inelasticity

Alexander Mielke, Tomáš Roubíček (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

A conceptual numerical strategy for rate-independent processes in the energetic formulation is proposed and its convergence is proved under various rather mild data qualifications. The novelty is that we obtain convergence of subsequences of space-time discretizations even in case where the limit problem does not have a unique solution and we need no additional assumptions on higher regularity of the limit solution. The variety of general perspectives thus obtained is illustrated on several...

Numerical comparisons of two long-wave limit models

Stéphane Labbé, Lionel Paumond (2004)

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

The Benney-Luke equation (BL) is a model for the evolution of three-dimensional weakly nonlinear, long water waves of small amplitude. In this paper we propose a nearly conservative scheme for the numerical resolution of (BL). Moreover, it is known (Paumond, Differential Integral Equations 16 (2003) 1039–1064; Pego and Quintero, Physica D 132 (1999) 476–496) that (BL) is linked to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation for almost one-dimensional waves propagating in one direction. We study here numerically...

Numerical considerations of a hybrid proximal projection algorithm for solving variational inequalities

Christina Jager (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, some ideas for the numerical realization of the hybrid proximal projection algorithm from Solodov and Svaiter [22] are presented. An example is given which shows that this hybrid algorithm does not generate a Fejér-monotone sequence. Further, a strategy is suggested for the computation of inexact solutions of the auxiliary problems with a certain tolerance. For that purpose, ε-subdifferentials of the auxiliary functions and the bundle trust region method from Schramm and Zowe [20]...

Numerical integration of differential equations in the presence of first integrals: observer method

Eric Busvelle, Rachid Kharab, A. Maciejewski, Jean-Marie Strelcyn (1994)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We introduce a simple and powerful procedure-the observer method-in order to obtain a reliable method of numerical integration over an arbitrary long interval of time for systems of ordinary differential equations having first integrals. This aim is achieved by a modification of the original system such that the level manifold of the first integrals becomes a local attractor. We provide a theoretical justification of this procedure. We report many tests and examples dealing with a large spectrum...

Numerical solution of a 1-d elastohydrodynamic problem in magnetic storage devices

Iñigo Arregui, José Jesús Cendán, Carlos Parés, Carlos Vázquez (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this work we present new numerical methods to simulate the mechanics of head-tape magnetic storage devices. The elastohydrodynamic problem is formulated in terms of a coupled system which is governed by a nonlinear compressible Reynolds equation for the air pressure over the head, and a rod model for the tape displacement. A fixed point algorithm between the solutions of the elastic and hydrodynamic problems is proposed. For the nonlinear Reynolds equation, a characteristics method and a...

On a new method for enlarging the radius of convergence for Newton's method

Ioannis K. Argyros (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We provide new local and semilocal convergence results for Newton's method. We introduce Lipschitz-type hypotheses on the mth-Frechet derivative. This way we manage to enlarge the radius of convergence of Newton's method. Numerical examples are also provided to show that our results guarantee convergence where others do not.
