Finite difference scheme for the Willmore flow of graphs
In this article we discuss numerical scheme for the approximation of the Willmore flow of graphs. The scheme is based on the finite difference method. We improve the scheme we presented in Oberhuber [Obe-2005-2,Obe-2005-1] which is based on combination of the forward and the backward finite differences. The new scheme approximates the Willmore flow by the central differences and as a result it better preserves symmetry of the solution. Since it requires higher regularity of the solution, additional...

We analyze semidiscrete and second-order in time fully discrete finite element methods for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation.
Finite element solution of a hyperbolic-parabolic problem
Existence and finite element approximation of a hyperbolic-parabolic problem is studied. The original two-dimensional domain is approximated by a polygonal one (external approximations). The time discretization is obtained using Euler’s backward formula (Rothe’s method). Under certain smoothing assumptions on the data (see (2.6), (2.7)) the existence and uniqueness of the solution and the convergence of Rothe’s functions in the space is proved.
Forced anisotropic mean curvature flow of graphs in relative geometry
The paper is concerned with the graph formulation of forced anisotropic mean curvature flow in the context of the heteroepitaxial growth of quantum dots. The problem is generalized by including anisotropy by means of Finsler metrics. A semi-discrete numerical scheme based on the method of lines is presented. Computational results with various anisotropy settings are shown and discussed.
Fourth order time-stepping for low dispersion Korteweg-de Vries and nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
Frequency analysis of preconditioned waveform relaxation iterations
The error analysis of preconditioned waveform relaxation iterations for differential systems is presented. This analysis extends and refines previous results by Burrage, Jackiewicz, Nørsett and Renaut by incorporating all terms in the expansion of the error of waveform relaxation iterations in the Laplace transform domain. Lower bounds for the size of the window of rapid convergence are also obtained. The theory is illustrated for waveform relaxation methods applied to differential systems resulting...
Full discretization of some reaction diffusion equation with blow up
This paper aims at the development of numerical schemes for nonlinear reaction diffusion problems with a convection that blows up in a finite time. A full discretization of this problem that preserves the blow - up property is presented as well as a numerical simulation. Efficiency of the method is derived via a numerical comparison with a classical scheme based on the Runge Kutta scheme.
Fully discrete error estimation by the method of lines for a nonlinear parabolic problem
A posteriori error estimates for a nonlinear parabolic problem are introduced. A fully discrete scheme is studied. The space discretization is based on a concept of hierarchical finite element basis functions. The time discretization is done using singly implicit Runge-Kutta method (SIRK). The convergence of the effectivity index is proven.
