Error Estimates of a Galerkin Method for Some Nonlinear Sobolev Equations in one Space Dimension.
We consider a nonlinear second order elliptic boundary value problem (BVP) in a bounded domain with a nonlocal boundary condition. A Dirichlet BC containing an unknown additive constant, accompanied with a nonlocal (integral) Neumann side condition is prescribed at some boundary part . The rest of the boundary is equipped with Dirichlet or nonlinear Robin type BC. The solution is found via linearization. We design a robust and efficient approximation scheme. Error estimates for the linearization...
We consider a nonlinear second order elliptic boundary value problem (BVP) in a bounded domain with a nonlocal boundary condition. A Dirichlet BC containing an unknown additive constant, accompanied with a nonlocal (integral) Neumann side condition is prescribed at some boundary part Γn. The rest of the boundary is equipped with Dirichlet or nonlinear Robin type BC. The solution is found via linearization. We design a robust and efficient approximation scheme. Error estimates for...
An adaptive strategy for nonlinear finite-element analysis, based on the combination of error estimation and h-remeshing, is presented. Its two main ingredients are a residual-type error estimator and an unstructured quadrilateral mesh generator. The error estimator is based on simple local computations over the elements and the so-called patches. In contrast to other residual estimators, no flux splitting is required. The adaptive strategy is illustrated by means of a complex nonlinear problem:...
The non-conforming linear () triangular FEM can be viewed as a kind of the discontinuous Galerkin method, and is attractive in both the theoretical and practical purposes. Since various error constants must be quantitatively evaluated for its accurate a priori and a posteriori error estimates, we derive their theoretical upper bounds and some computational results. In particular, the Babuška-Aziz maximum angle condition is required just as in the case of the conforming triangle. Some applications...
The paper develops an explicit a priori error estimate for finite element solution to nonhomogeneous Neumann problems. For this purpose, the hypercircle over finite element spaces is constructed and the explicit upper bound of the constant in the trace theorem is given. Numerical examples are shown in the final section, which implies the proposed error estimate has the convergence rate as .
