Facilitating the Adoption of Unstructured High-Order Methods Amongst a Wider Community of Fluid Dynamicists

P. E. Vincent, A. Jameson (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Theoretical studies and numerical experiments suggest that unstructured high-order methods can provide solutions to otherwise intractable fluid flow problems within complex geometries. However, it remains the case that existing high-order schemes are generally less robust and more complex to implement than their low-order counterparts. These issues, in conjunction with difficulties generating high-order meshes, have limited the adoption of high-order...

Fast deterministic pricing of options on Lévy driven assets

Ana-Maria Matache, Tobias Von Petersdorff, Christoph Schwab (2004)

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

Arbitrage-free prices u of European contracts on risky assets whose log-returns are modelled by Lévy processes satisfy a parabolic partial integro-differential equation (PIDE) t u + 𝒜 [ u ] = 0 . This PIDE is localized to bounded domains and the error due to this localization is estimated. The localized PIDE is discretized by the θ -scheme in time and a wavelet Galerkin method with N degrees of freedom in log-price space. The dense matrix for 𝒜 can be replaced by a sparse matrix in the wavelet basis, and the linear...

FER/SubDomain : an integrated environment for finite element analysis using object-oriented approach

Zhi-Qiang Feng, Jean-Michel Cros (2002)

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

Development of user-friendly and flexible scientific programs is a key to their usage, extension and maintenance. This paper presents an OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) approach for design of finite element analysis programs. General organization of the developed software system, called FER/SubDomain, is given which includes the solver and the pre/post processors with a friendly GUI (Graphical User Interfaces). A case study with graphical representations illustrates some functionalities of the...

Finite difference operators from moving least squares interpolation

Hennadiy Netuzhylov, Thomas Sonar, Warisa Yomsatieankul (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In a foregoing paper [Sonar, ESAIM: M2AN39 (2005) 883–908] we analyzed the Interpolating Moving Least Squares (IMLS) method due to Lancaster and Šalkauskas with respect to its approximation powers and derived finite difference expressions for the derivatives. In this sequel we follow a completely different approach to the IMLS method given by Kunle [Dissertation (2001)]. As a typical problem with IMLS method we address the question of getting admissible results at the boundary by introducing “ghost...

Finite difference scheme for the Willmore flow of graphs

Tomáš Oberhuber (2007)

Kybernetika

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...
