Spectral methods for singular perturbation problems

Wilhelm Heinrichs (1994)

Applications of Mathematics

We study spectral discretizations for singular perturbation problems. A special technique of stabilization for the spectral method is proposed. Boundary layer problems are accurately solved by a domain decomposition method. An effective iterative method for the solution of spectral systems is proposed. Suitable components for a multigrid method are presented.

Spurious-free approximations of electromagnetic eigenproblems by means of Nedelec-type elements

Salvatore Caorsi, Paolo Fernandes, Mirco Raffetto (2001)

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

By using an inductive procedure we prove that the Galerkin finite element approximations of electromagnetic eigenproblems modelling cavity resonators by elements of any fixed order of either Nedelec’s edge element family on tetrahedral meshes are convergent and free of spurious solutions. This result is not new but is proved under weaker hypotheses, which are fulfilled in most of engineering applications. The method of the proof is new, instead, and shows how families of spurious-free elements can...

Stabilization methods of bubble type for the Q1/Q1-element applied to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

Petr Knobloch, Lutz Tobiska (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, a general technique is developed to enlarge the velocity space V h 1 of the unstable -element by adding spaces V h 2 such that for the extended pair the Babuska-Brezzi condition is satisfied. Examples of stable elements which can be derived in such a way imply the stability of the well-known Q2/Q1-element and the 4Q1/Q1-element. However, our new elements are much more cheaper. In particular, we shall see that more than half of the additional degrees of freedom when switching from the Q1...

Stabilization of Galerkin approximations of transport equations by subgrid modeling

Jean-Luc Guermond (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper presents a stabilization technique for approximating transport equations. The key idea consists in introducing an artificial diffusion based on a two-level decomposition of the approximation space. The technique is proved to have stability and convergence properties that are similar to that of the streamline diffusion method.

Superconvergence by Steklov averaging in the finite element method

Karel Kolman (2005)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The Steklov postprocessing operator for the linear finite element method is studied. Superconvergence of order 𝓞(h²) is proved for a class of second order differential equations with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions for arbitrary space dimensions. Relations to other postprocessing and averaging schemes are discussed.

Superconvergence of a stabilized approximation for the Stokes eigenvalue problem by projection method

Pengzhan Huang (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper presents a superconvergence result based on projection method for stabilized finite element approximation of the Stokes eigenvalue problem. The projection method is a postprocessing procedure that constructs a new approximation by using the least squares method. The paper complements the work of Li et al. (2012), which establishes the superconvergence result of the Stokes equations by the stabilized finite element method. Moreover, numerical tests confirm the theoretical analysis.
