Mimetic finite differences for elliptic problems

Franco Brezzi, Annalisa Buffa, Konstantin Lipnikov (2009)

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

We developed a mimetic finite difference method for solving elliptic equations with tensor coefficients on polyhedral meshes. The first-order convergence estimates in a mesh-dependent H 1 norm are derived.

Mixed approximation of eigenvalue problems: A superconvergence result

Francesca Gardini (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We state a superconvergence result for the lowest order Raviart-Thomas approximation of eigenvalue problems. It is known that a similar superconvergence result holds for the mixed approximation of Laplace problem; here we introduce a new proof, since the one given for the source problem cannot be generalized in a straightforward way to the eigenvalue problem. Numerical experiments confirm the superconvergence property and suggest that it also holds for the lowest order Brezzi-Douglas-Marini...

Mixed finite element approximation of 3D contact problems with given friction : error analysis and numerical realization

Jaroslav Haslinger, Taoufik Sassi (2004)

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

This contribution deals with a mixed variational formulation of 3D contact problems with the simplest model involving friction. This formulation is based on a dualization of the set of admissible displacements and the regularization of the non-differentiable term. Displacements are approximated by piecewise linear elements while the respective dual variables by piecewise constant functions on a dual partition of the contact zone. The rate of convergence is established provided that the solution...

Mortar spectral method in axisymmetric domains

Saloua Mani Aouadi, Jamil Satouri (2013)

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

We consider the Laplace equation posed in a three-dimensional axisymmetric domain. We reduce the original problem by a Fourier expansion in the angular variable to a countable family of two-dimensional problems. We decompose the meridian domain, assumed polygonal, in a finite number of rectangles and we discretize by a spectral method. Then we describe the main features of the mortar method and use the algorithm Strang Fix to improve the accuracy of our discretization.
