A Superconvergence result for mixed finite element approximations of the eigenvalue problem

Qun Lin, Hehu Xie (2012)

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

In this paper, we present a superconvergence result for the mixed finite element approximations of general second order elliptic eigenvalue problems. It is known that a superconvergence result has been given by Durán et al. [Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 9 (1999) 1165–1178] and Gardini [ESAIM: M2AN 43 (2009) 853–865] for the lowest order Raviart-Thomas approximation of Laplace eigenvalue problems. In this work, we introduce a new way to derive the superconvergence of general second order elliptic...

A unified approach to singular problems arising in the membrane theory

Irena Rachůnková, Gernot Pulverer, Ewa B. Weinmüller (2010)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider the singular boundary value problem ( t n u ' ( t ) ) ' + t n f ( t , u ( t ) ) = 0 , lim t 0 + t n u ' ( t ) = 0 , a 0 u ( 1 ) + a 1 u ' ( 1 - ) = A , where f ( t , x ) is a given continuous function defined on the set ( 0 , 1 ] × ( 0 , ) which can have a time singularity at t = 0 and a space singularity at x = 0 . Moreover, n , n 2 , and a 0 , a 1 , A are real constants such that a 0 ( 0 , ) , whereas a 1 , A [ 0 , ) . The main aim of this paper is to discuss the existence of solutions to the above problem and apply the general results to cover certain classes of singular problems arising in the theory of shallow membrane caps, where we are especially interested in...

A variational approach to implicit ODEs and differential inclusions

Sergio Amat, Pablo Pedregal (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

An alternative approach for the analysis and the numerical approximation of ODEs, using a variational framework, is presented. It is based on the natural and elementary idea of minimizing the residual of the differential equation measured in a usual Lp norm. Typical existence results for Cauchy problems can thus be recovered, and finer sets of assumptions for existence are made explicit. We treat, in particular, the cases of an explicit ODE and a differential inclusion. This approach also allows...

A verified method for solving piecewise smooth initial value problems

Ekaterina Auer, Stefan Kiel, Andreas Rauh (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In many applications, there is a need to choose mathematical models that depend on non-smooth functions. The task of simulation becomes especially difficult if such functions appear on the right-hand side of an initial value problem. Moreover, solution processes from usual numerics are sensitive to roundoff errors so that verified analysis might be more useful if a guarantee of correctness is required or if the system model is influenced by uncertainty. In this paper, we provide a short overview...

A ( α )-Stable Linear Multistep Methods for Stiff IVPs in ODEs

R. I. Okuonghae, M. N. O. Ikhile (2011)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

In this paper, a class of A( α )-stable linear multistep formulas for stiff initial value problems (IVPs) in ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is developed. The boundary locus of the methods shows that the schemes are A-stable for step number k 3 and stiffly stable for k = 4 , 5 and 6 . Some numerical results are reported to illustrate the method.
