Partition of unity method for Helmholtz equation: q -convergence for plane-wave and wave-band local bases

Theofanis Strouboulis, Realino Hidajat (2006)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we study the q -version of the Partition of Unity Method for the Helmholtz equation. The method is obtained by employing the standard bilinear finite element basis on a mesh of quadrilaterals discretizing the domain as the Partition of Unity used to paste together local bases of special wave-functions employed at the mesh vertices. The main topic of the paper is the comparison of the performance of the method for two choices of local basis functions, namely a) plane-waves, and b) wave-bands....

Plane wave discontinuous Galerkin methods: Analysis of the h-version

Claude J. Gittelson, Ralf Hiptmair, Ilaria Perugia (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We are concerned with a finite element approximation for time-harmonic wave propagation governed by the Helmholtz equation. The usually oscillatory behavior of solutions, along with numerical dispersion, render standard finite element methods grossly inefficient already in medium-frequency regimes. As an alternative, methods that incorporate information about the solution in the form of plane waves have been proposed. We focus on a class of Trefftz-type discontinuous Galerkin methods that ...

Postprocessing and higher order convergence for the mixed finite element approximations of the Stokes eigenvalue problems

Hongtao Chen, Shanghui Jia, Hehu Xie (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we propose a method for improving the convergence rate of the mixed finite element approximations for the Stokes eigenvalue problem. It is based on a postprocessing strategy that consists of solving an additional Stokes source problem on an augmented mixed finite element space which can be constructed either by refining the mesh or by using the same mesh but increasing the order of the mixed finite element space.

Proposition de préconditionneurs pseudo-différentiels pour l’équation CFIE de l’électromagnétisme

David P. Levadoux (2005)

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

We present a weak parametrix of the operator of the CFIE equation. An interesting feature of this parametrix is that it is compatible with different discretization strategies and hence allows for the construction of efficient preconditioners dedicated to the CFIE. Furthermore, one shows that the underlying operator of the CFIE verifies an uniform discrete Inf-Sup condition which allows to predict an original convergence result of the numerical solution of the CFIE to the exact one.

Proposition de préconditionneurs pseudo-différentiels pour l'équation CFIE de l'électromagnétisme

David P. Levadoux (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

On exhibe dans cette note une paramétrix (au sens faible) de l'opérateur sous-jacent à l'équation CFIE de l'électromagnétisme. L'intérêt de cette paramétrix est de se prêter à différentes stratégies de discrétisation et ainsi de pouvoir être utilisée comme préconditionneur de la CFIE. On montre aussi que l'opérateur sous-jacent à la CFIE satisfait une condition Inf-Sup discrète uniforme, applicable aux espaces de discrétisation usuellement rencontrés en électromagnétisme, et qui permet d'établir...
