Second-Order Finite Element Approximations and a posteriori Error Estimation for Two-Dimensional Parabolic Systems.
Special exact curved finite elements useful for solving contact problems of the second order in domains boundaries of which consist of a finite number of circular ares and a finite number of line segments are introduced and the interpolation estimates are proved.
In this paper we introduce numerical schemes for a one-dimensional kinetic model of the Boltzmann equation with dissipative collisions and variable coefficient of restitution. In particular, we study the numerical passage of the Boltzmann equation with singular kernel to nonlinear friction equations in the so-called quasi elastic limit. To this aim we introduce a Fourier spectral method for the Boltzmann equation [25, 26] and show that the kernel modes that define the spectral method have the correct...

Strong convergence estimates for pseudospectral methods applied to ordinary boundary value problems are derived. The results are also used for a convergence analysis of the Schwarz algorithm (a special domain decomposition technique). Different types of nodes (Chebyshev, Legendre nodes) are examined and compared.
