A multiplicative Schwarz method and its application to nonlinear acoustic-structure interaction

Roland Ernst, Bernd Flemisch, Barbara Wohlmuth (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

A new Schwarz method for nonlinear systems is presented, constituting the multiplicative variant of a straightforward additive scheme. Local convergence can be guaranteed under suitable assumptions. The scheme is applied to nonlinear acoustic-structure interaction problems. Numerical examples validate the theoretical results. Further improvements are discussed by means of introducing overlapping subdomains and employing an inexact strategy for the local solvers.

A new conservative finite difference scheme for Boussinesq paradigm equation

Natalia Kolkovska, Milena Dimova (2012)

Open Mathematics

A family of nonlinear conservative finite difference schemes for the multidimensional Boussinesq Paradigm Equation is considered. A second order of convergence and a preservation of the discrete energy for this approach are proved. Existence and boundedness of the discrete solution on an appropriate time interval are established. The schemes have been numerically tested on the models of the propagation of a soliton and the interaction of two solitons. The numerical experiments demonstrate that the...

A new energy conservative scheme for regularized long wave equation

Yuesheng Luo, Ruixue Xing, Xiaole Li (2021)

Applications of Mathematics

An energy conservative scheme is proposed for the regularized long wave (RLW) equation. The integral method with variational limit is used to discretize the spatial derivative and the finite difference method is used to discretize the time derivative. The energy conservation of the scheme and existence of the numerical solution are proved. The convergence of the order O ( h 2 + τ 2 ) and unconditional stability are also derived. Numerical examples are carried out to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis....

A note on ( 2 𝖪 + 1 ) -point conservative monotone schemes

Huazhong Tang, Gerald Warnecke (2004)

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

First–order accurate monotone conservative schemes have good convergence and stability properties, and thus play a very important role in designing modern high resolution shock-capturing schemes. Do the monotone difference approximations always give a good numerical solution in sense of monotonicity preservation or suppression of oscillations? This note will investigate this problem from a numerical point of view and show that a ( 2 K + 1 ) -point monotone scheme may give an oscillatory solution even though...

A Numerical Approach of the sentinel method for distributed parameter systems

Aboubakari Traore, Benjamin Mampassi, Bisso Saley (2007)

Open Mathematics

In this paper we consider the problem of detecting pollution in some non linear parabolic systems using the sentinel method. For this purpose we develop and analyze a new approach to the discretization which pays careful attention to the stability of the solution. To illustrate convergence properties we give some numerical results that present good properties and show new ways for building discrete sentinels.

A quasi-variational inequality problem arising in the modeling of growing sandpiles

John W. Barrett, Leonid Prigozhin (2013)

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

Existence of a solution to the quasi-variational inequality problem arising in a model for sand surface evolution has been an open problem for a long time. Another long-standing open problem concerns determining the dual variable, the flux of sand pouring down the evolving sand surface, which is also of practical interest in a variety of applications of this model. Previously, these problems were solved for the special case in which the inequality is simply variational. Here, we introduce a regularized...

A simple and efficient scheme for phase field crystal simulation

Matt Elsey, Benedikt Wirth (2013)

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

We propose an unconditionally stable semi-implicit time discretization of the phase field crystal evolution. It is based on splitting the underlying energy into convex and concave parts and then performing H-1 gradient descent steps implicitly for the former and explicitly for the latter. The splitting is effected in such a way that the resulting equations are linear in each time step and allow an extremely simple implementation and efficient solution. We provide the associated stability and error...

A splitting method using discontinuous Galerkin for the transient incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

Vivette Girault, Béatrice Rivière, Mary F. Wheeler (2005)

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

In this paper we solve the time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations by splitting the non-linearity and incompressibility, and using discontinuous or continuous finite element methods in space. We prove optimal error estimates for the velocity and suboptimal estimates for the pressure. We present some numerical experiments.
