N -widths for singularly perturbed problems

Martin Stynes, R. Bruce Kellogg (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

Kolmogorov N -widths are an approximation theory concept that, for a given problem, yields information about the optimal rate of convergence attainable by any numerical method applied to that problem. We survey sharp bounds recently obtained for the N -widths of certain singularly perturbed convection-diffusion and reaction-diffusion boundary value problems.

New method for computation of discrete spectrum of radical Schrödinger operator

Ivan Úlehla, Miloslav Havlíček (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

A new method for computation of eigenvalues of the radial Schrödinger operator - d 2 / d x 2 + v ( x ) , x 0 is presented. The potential v ( x ) is assumed to behave as x - 2 + ϵ if x 0 + and as x - 2 - ϵ if x + , ϵ 0 . The Schrödinger equation is transformed to a non-linear differential equation of the first order for a function z ( x , ) . It is shown that the eigenvalues are the discontinuity points of the function z ( , ) . Moreover, it is shown how to obtain an arbitrarily accurate approximation of eigenvalues. The method seems to be much more economical in comparison...

New Resolution Strategy for Multi-scale Reaction Waves using Time Operator Splitting and Space Adaptive Multiresolution: Application to Human Ischemic Stroke*

Max Duarte, Marc Massot, Stéphane Descombes, Christian Tenaud, Thierry Dumont, Violaine Louvet, Frédérique Laurent (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

We tackle the numerical simulation of reaction-diffusion equations modeling multi-scale reaction waves. This type of problems induces peculiar difficulties and potentially large stiffness which stem from the broad spectrum of temporal scales in the nonlinear chemical source term as well as from the presence of large spatial gradients in the reactive fronts, spatially very localized. A new resolution strategy was recently introduced ? that combines...

Numerical analysis of Eulerian multi-fluid models in the context of kinetic formulations for dilute evaporating sprays

Frédérique Laurent (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The purpose of this article is the analysis and the development of Eulerian multi-fluid models to describe the evolution of the mass density of evaporating liquid sprays. First, the classical multi-fluid model developed in [Laurent and Massot, Combust. Theor. Model.5 (2001) 537–572] is analyzed in the framework of an unsteady configuration without dynamical nor heating effects, where the evaporation process is isolated, since it is a key issue. The classical multi-fluid method consists then in...

Numerical analysis of nonlinear model of excited carrier decay

Natalija Tumanova, Raimondas Čiegis, Mečislavas Meilūnas (2013)

Open Mathematics

This paper presents a mathematical model for photo-excited carrier decay in a semiconductor. Due to the carrier trapping states and recombination centers in the bandgap, the carrier decay process is defined by the system of nonlinear differential equations. The system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is approximated by linearized backward Euler scheme. Some a priori estimates of the discrete solution are obtained and the convergence of the linearized backward Euler method is proved....
