We consider the numerical solution of diffusion problems in (0,T) x Ω for and for T > 0 in
dimension dd ≥ 1. We use a wavelet based sparse grid
space discretization with mesh-width h and order pd ≥ 1, and
hp discontinuous Galerkin time-discretization of order on a geometric sequence of many time
steps. The linear systems in each time step are solved iteratively
by GMRES iterations with a wavelet preconditioner.
We prove that this algorithm gives an L2(Ω)-error of
O(N-p) for u(x,T)...
A numerical technique is presented for the solution of second order one dimensional linear hyperbolic equation. This method uses the trigonometric wavelets. The method consists of expanding the required approximate solution as the elements of trigonometric wavelets. Using the operational matrix of derivative, we reduce the problem to a set of algebraic linear equations. Some numerical example is included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique. The method produces very accurate...
The Kiessl model of moisture and heat transfer in generally nonhomogeneous porous materials is analyzed. A weak formulation of the problem of propagation of the state parameters of this model, which are so-called moisture potential and temperature, is derived. An application of the method of discretization in time leads to a system of boundary-value problems for coupled pairs of nonlinear second order ODE’s. Some existence and regularity results for these problems are proved and an efficient numerical...
This contribution gives an overview of current research in applying object oriented programming to scientific computing at the computational mechanics laboratory (LABMEC) at the school of civil engineering – UNICAMP. The main goal of applying object oriented programming to scientific computing is to implement increasingly complex algorithms in a structured manner and to hide the complexity behind a simple user interface. The following areas are current topics of research and documented within the...

The goal of this article is to analyze the observability properties for a space semi-discrete approximation scheme derived from a mixed finite element method of the 1d wave equation on nonuniform meshes. More precisely, we prove that observability properties hold uniformly with respect to the mesh-size under some assumptions, which, roughly, measures the lack of uniformity of the meshes, thus extending the work [Castro and Micu, Numer. Math.102 (2006) 413–462] to nonuniform meshes. Our results...
Experimental evidence collected over the years shows that blood exhibits non-Newtonian characteristics such as shear-thinning, viscoelasticity, yield stress and thixotropic behaviour. Under certain conditions these characteristics become relevant and must be taken into consideration when modelling blood flow. In this work we deal with incompressible generalized Newtonian fluids, that account for the non-constant viscosity of blood, and present a new numerical method to handle fluid-rigid body interaction...
The paper is concerned with the study of a parabolic initial-boundary value problem with nonlinear Newton boundary condition considered in a two-dimensional domain. The goal is to prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution to the problem in the case when the nonlinearity in the Newton boundary condition does not satisfy any monotonicity condition and to analyze the finite element approximation.
The subject of the paper is the derivation and analysis of evolution Galerkin schemes for the two dimensional Maxwell and linearized Euler equations. The aim is to construct a method which takes into account better the infinitely many directions of propagation of waves. To do this the initial function is evolved using the characteristic cone and then projected onto a finite element space. We derive the divergence-free property and estimate the dispersion relation as well. We present some numerical...
In this paper the fluid-structure interaction problem is studied on a simplified model of the human vocal fold. The problem is mathematically described and the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method is applied in order to treat the time dependent computational domain. The viscous incompressible fluid flow and linear elasticity models are considered. The fluid flow and the motion of elastic body is approximated with the aid of finite element method. An attention is paid to the applied stabilization...
We consider a model for phase separation of a multi-component alloy with non-smooth free energy and a degenerate mobility matrix. In addition to showing well-posedness and stability bounds for our approximation, we prove convergence in one space dimension. Furthermore an iterative scheme for solving the resulting nonlinear discrete system is analysed. We discuss also how our approximation has to be modified in order to be applicable to a logarithmic free energy. Finally numerical experiments with...
