Schwarz domain decomposition preconditioners for discontinuous Galerkin approximations of elliptic problems: non-overlapping case

Paola F. Antonietti, Blanca Ayuso (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis


We propose and study some new additive, two-level non-overlapping Schwarz preconditioners for the solution of the algebraic linear systems arising from a wide class of discontinuous Galerkin approximations of elliptic problems that have been proposed up to now. In particular, two-level methods for both symmetric and non-symmetric schemes are introduced and some interesting features, which have no analog in the conforming case, are discussed. Both the construction and analysis of the proposed domain...

Semiregular finite elements in solving some nonlinear problems

Jana Zlámalová (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, under the maximum angle condition, the finite element method is analyzed for nonlinear elliptic variational problem formulated in [4]. In [4] the analysis was done under the minimum angle condition.

Semiregular hermite tetrahedral finite elements

Alexander Ženíšek, Jana Hoderová-Zlámalová (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

Tetrahedral finite C 0 -elements of the Hermite type satisfying the maximum angle condition are presented and the corresponding finite element interpolation theorems in the maximum norm are proved.

Simplicial finite elements in higher dimensions

Jan Brandts, Sergey Korotov, Michal Křížek (2007)

Applications of Mathematics

Over the past fifty years, finite element methods for the approximation of solutions of partial differential equations (PDEs) have become a powerful and reliable tool. Theoretically, these methods are not restricted to PDEs formulated on physical domains up to dimension three. Although at present there does not seem to be a very high practical demand for finite element methods that use higher dimensional simplicial partitions, there are some advantages in studying the methods independent of the...

Some fast finite-difference solvers for Dirichlet problems on general domains

Ta Van Dinh (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

The author proves the existence of the multi-parameter asymptotic error expansion to the five-point difference scheme for Dirichlet problems for the linear and semilinear elliptic PDE on general domains. By Richardson extrapolation, this expansion leads to a simple process for accelerating the convergence of the method.

Some fast finite-difference solvers for two-dimensional evolutionary equations on special domains

Ta Van Dinh (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

The author proves the existence of the asymptotic error expansion to the Peaceman-Rachford finite-difference scheme for the first boundary value problem of the two-dimensional evolationary equation on the so-called uniform and nearly uniform domains. This expansion leads, by Richardson extrapolation, to a simple process for accelerating the convergence of the method. A numerical example is given.

Some remarks concerning stabilization techniques for convection--diffusion problems

Brandner, Marek, Knobloch, Petr (2019)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

There are many methods and approaches to solving convection--diffusion problems. For those who want to solve such problems the situation is very confusing and it is very difficult to choose the right method. The aim of this short overview is to provide basic guidelines and to mention the common features of different methods. We place particular emphasis on the concept of linear and non-linear stabilization and its implementation within different approaches.

Some superconvergence results of high-degree finite element method for a second order elliptic equation with variable coefficients

Xiaofei Guan, Mingxia Li, Wenming He, Zhengwu Jiang (2014)

Open Mathematics

In this paper, some superconvergence results of high-degree finite element method are obtained for solving a second order elliptic equation with variable coefficients on the inner locally symmetric mesh with respect to a point x 0 for triangular meshes. By using of the weak estimates and local symmetric technique, we obtain improved discretization errors of O(h p+1 |ln h|2) and O(h p+2 |ln h|2) when p (≥ 3) is odd and p (≥ 4) is even, respectively. Meanwhile, the results show that the combination...

Sparse finite element approximation of high-dimensional transport-dominated diffusion problems

Christoph Schwab, Endre Süli, Radu Alexandru Todor (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We develop the analysis of stabilized sparse tensor-product finite element methods for high-dimensional, non-self-adjoint and possibly degenerate second-order partial differential equations of the form - a : u + b · u + c u = f ( x ) , x Ω = ( 0 , 1 ) d d , where a d × d is a symmetric positive semidefinite matrix, using piecewise polynomials of degree p ≥ 1. Our convergence analysis is based on new high-dimensional approximation results in sparse tensor-product spaces. We show that the error between the analytical solution u and its stabilized sparse...

Sparse grids for the Schrödinger equation

Michael Griebel, Jan Hamaekers (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We present a sparse grid/hyperbolic cross discretization for many-particle problems. It involves the tensor product of a one-particle multilevel basis. Subsequent truncation of the associated series expansion then results in a sparse grid discretization. Here, depending on the norms involved, different variants of sparse grid techniques for many-particle spaces can be derived that, in the best case, result in complexities and error estimates which are independent of the number of particles. Furthermore...
