Stability of flat interfaces during semidiscrete solidification

Andreas Veeser (2002)

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

The stability of flat interfaces with respect to a spatial semidiscretization of a solidification model is analyzed. The considered model is the quasi-static approximation of the Stefan problem with dynamical Gibbs–Thomson law. The stability analysis bases on an argument developed by Mullins and Sekerka for the undiscretized case. The obtained stability properties differ from those with respect to the quasi-static model for certain parameter values and relatively coarse meshes. Moreover, consequences...

Stabilized Galerkin methods for magnetic advection

Holger Heumann, Ralf Hiptmair (2013)

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

Taking the cue from stabilized Galerkin methods for scalar advection problems, we adapt the technique to boundary value problems modeling the advection of magnetic fields. We provide rigorous a priori error estimates for both fully discontinuous piecewise polynomial trial functions and -conforming finite elements.

Stable discretization of a diffuse interface model for liquid-vapor flows with surface tension

Malte Braack, Andreas Prohl (2013)

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

The isothermal Navier–Stokes–Korteweg system is used to model dynamics of a compressible fluid exhibiting phase transitions between a liquid and a vapor phase in the presence of capillarity effects close to phase boundaries. Standard numerical discretizations are known to violate discrete versions of inherent energy inequalities, thus leading to spurious dynamics of computed solutions close to static equilibria (e.g., parasitic currents). In this work, we propose a time-implicit discretization of...

Stable upwind schemes for the magnetic induction equation

Franz G. Fuchs, Kenneth H. Karlsen, Siddharta Mishra, Nils H. Risebro (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider the magnetic induction equation for the evolution of a magnetic field in a plasma where the velocity is given. The aim is to design a numerical scheme which also handles the divergence constraint in a suitable manner. We design and analyze an upwind scheme based on the symmetrized version of the equations in the non-conservative form. The scheme is shown to converge to a weak solution of the equations. Furthermore, the discrete divergence produced by the scheme is shown to be...

Superconvergence estimates of finite element methods for American options

Qun Lin, Tang Liu, Shu Hua Zhang (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we are concerned with finite element approximations to the evaluation of American options. First, following W. Allegretto etc., SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 39 (2001), 834–857, we introduce a novel practical approach to the discussed problem, which involves the exact reformulation of the original problem and the implementation of the numerical solution over a very small region so that this algorithm is very rapid and highly accurate. Secondly by means of a superapproximation and interpolation...
