The discontinuous Galerkin method for semilinear parabolic problems
The fourth order accuracy decomposition scheme for an evolution problem
In the present work, the symmetrized sequential-parallel decomposition method with the fourth order accuracy for the solution of Cauchy abstract problem with an operator under a split form is presented. The fourth order accuracy is reached by introducing a complex coefficient with the positive real part. For the considered scheme, the explicit a priori estimate is obtained.

The gradient superconvergence of the finite volume method for a nonlinear elliptic problem of nonmonotone type
We study the superconvergence of the finite volume method for a nonlinear elliptic problem using linear trial functions. Under the condition of -uniform meshes, we first establish a superclose weak estimate for the bilinear form of the finite volume method. Then, we prove that on the mesh point set , the gradient approximation possesses the superconvergence: , where denotes the average gradient on elements containing vertex . Furthermore, by using the interpolation post-processing technique,...

The splitting in potential Crank–Nicolson scheme with discrete transparent boundary conditions for the Schrödinger equation on a semi-infinite strip
We consider an initial-boundary value problem for a generalized 2D time-dependent Schrödinger equation (with variable coefficients) on a semi-infinite strip. For the Crank–Nicolson-type finite-difference scheme with approximate or discrete transparent boundary conditions (TBCs), the Strang-type splitting with respect to the potential is applied. For the resulting method, the unconditional uniform in time L2-stability is proved. Due to the splitting, an effective direct algorithm using FFT is developed...
Theoretical analysis of the upwind finite volume scheme on the counter-example of Peterson
When applied to the linear advection problem in dimension two, the upwind finite volume method is a non consistent scheme in the finite differences sense but a convergent scheme. According to our previous paper [Bouche et al., SIAM J. Numer. Anal.43 (2005) 578–603], a sufficient condition in order to complete the mathematical analysis of the finite volume scheme consists in obtaining an estimation of order p, less or equal to one, of a quantity that depends only on the mesh and on the advection ...
Theory and numerical approximations for a nonlinear 1 + 1 Dirac system
We consider a nonlinear Dirac system in one space dimension with periodic boundary conditions. First, we discuss questions on the existence and uniqueness of the solution. Then, we propose an implicit-explicit finite difference method for its approximation, proving optimal order a priori error estimates in various discrete norms and showing results from numerical experiments.

Triangular mesh analysis with application on hip bone
Shape analyses and similarity measuring is a very often solved problem in computer graphics. The shape distribution approach based on shape functions is frequently used for this determination. The experience from a comparison of ball-bar standard triangular meshes was used to match hip bones triangular meshes. The aim is to find relation between similarity measures obtained by shape distributions approach.

Two-grid finite-element schemes for the transient Navier-Stokes problem
We semi-discretize in space a time-dependent Navier-Stokes system on a three-dimensional polyhedron by finite-elements schemes defined on two grids. In the first step, the fully non-linear problem is semi-discretized on a coarse grid, with mesh-size . In the second step, the problem is linearized by substituting into the non-linear term, the velocity computed at step one, and the linearized problem is semi-discretized on a fine grid with mesh-size . This approach is motivated by the fact that,...

We semi-discretize in space a time-dependent Navier-Stokes system on a three-dimensional polyhedron by finite-elements schemes defined on two grids. In the first step, the fully non-linear problem is semi-discretized on a coarse grid, with mesh-size H.
