Finite difference operators from moving least squares interpolation

Hennadiy Netuzhylov, Thomas Sonar, Warisa Yomsatieankul (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In a foregoing paper [Sonar, ESAIM: M2AN39 (2005) 883–908] we analyzed the Interpolating Moving Least Squares (IMLS) method due to Lancaster and Šalkauskas with respect to its approximation powers and derived finite difference expressions for the derivatives. In this sequel we follow a completely different approach to the IMLS method given by Kunle [Dissertation (2001)]. As a typical problem with IMLS method we address the question of getting admissible results at the boundary by introducing “ghost...

Finite element solution of the fundamental equations of semiconductor devices. II

Miloš Zlámal (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

In part I of the paper (see Zlámal [13]) finite element solutions of the nonstationary semiconductor equations were constructed. Two fully discrete schemes were proposed. One was nonlinear, the other partly linear. In this part of the paper we justify the nonlinear scheme. We consider the case of basic boundary conditions and of constant mobilities and prove that the scheme is unconditionally stable. Further, we show that the approximate solution, extended to the whole time interval as a piecewise...

Finite volume methods for the valuation of American options

Julien Berton, Robert Eymard (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider the use of finite volume methods for the approximation of a parabolic variational inequality arising in financial mathematics. We show, under some regularity conditions, the convergence of the upwind implicit finite volume scheme to a weak solution of the variational inequality in a bounded domain. Some results, obtained in comparison with other methods on two dimensional cases, show that finite volume schemes can be accurate and efficient.

Finite-volume level set method and its adaptive version in completing subjective contours

Zuzana Krivá (2007)

Kybernetika

In this paper we deal with a problem of segmentation (including missing boundary completion) and subjective contour creation. For the corresponding models we apply the semi-implicit finite volume numerical schemes leading to methods which are robust, efficient and stable without any restriction to a time step. The finite volume discretization enables to use the spatial adaptivity and thus improve significantly the computational time. The computational results related to image segmentation with partly...
