Error estimates of a linear approximation scheme for nonlinear diffusion problems.
This paper deals with an initial and boundary value problem describing the quasistatic evolution of rate-type viscoplastic materials. Using a fixed point property, an iterative method in the study of this problem is proposed. A concrete algorithm as well as some numerical results in the one-dimensional case are also presented.
The incompressible Navier-Stokes problem is discretized in time by the two-step backward differentiation formula. Error estimates are proved under feasible assumptions on the regularity of the exact solution avoiding hardly fulfillable compatibility conditions. Whereas the time-weighted velocity error is of optimal second order, the time-weighted error in the pressure is of first order. Suboptimal estimates are shown for a linearisation. The results cover both the two- and three-dimensional case....

The paper is concerned with deriving functionals that give upper bounds of the difference between the exact solution of the initial-boundary value problem for the heat equation and any admissible function from the functional class naturally associated with this problem. These bounds are given by nonegative functionals called deviation majorants, which vanish only if the function and exact solution coincide. The deviation majorants pose a new type of a posteriori estimates that can be used in numerical...
We consider the damped semilinear viscoelastic wave equation with nonlocal boundary dissipation. The existence of global solutions is proved by means of the Faedo-Galerkin method and the uniform decay rate of the energy is obtained by following the perturbed energy method provided that the kernel of the memory decays exponentially.
