Discontinuous Galerkin methods for problems with Dirac delta source∗

Paul Houston, Thomas Pascal Wihler (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this article we study discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretizations of linear second-order elliptic partial differential equations with Dirac delta right-hand side. In particular, assuming that the underlying computational mesh is quasi-uniform, we derive an a priori bound on the error measured in terms of the L2-norm. Additionally, we develop residual-based a posteriori error estimators that can be used within an adaptive mesh refinement ...

Discrete Sobolev inequalities and L p error estimates for finite volume solutions of convection diffusion equations

Yves Coudière, Thierry Gallouët, Raphaèle Herbin (2001)

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

The topic of this work is to obtain discrete Sobolev inequalities for piecewise constant functions, and to deduce L p error estimates on the approximate solutions of convection diffusion equations by finite volume schemes.

Divergence of FEM: Babuška-Aziz triangulations revisited

Peter Oswald (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

By re-examining the arguments and counterexamples in I. Babuška, A. K. Aziz (1976) concerning the well-known maximum angle condition, we study the convergence behavior of the linear finite element method (FEM) on a family of distorted triangulations of the unit square originally introduced by H. Schwarz in 1880. For a Poisson problem with polynomial solution, we demonstrate arbitrarily slow convergence as well as failure of convergence if the distortion of the triangulations grows sufficiently fast....

Double greedy algorithms: Reduced basis methods for transport dominated problems

Wolfgang Dahmen, Christian Plesken, Gerrit Welper (2014)

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

The central objective of this paper is to develop reduced basis methods for parameter dependent transport dominated problems that are rigorously proven to exhibit rate-optimal performance when compared with the Kolmogorov n-widths of the solution sets. The central ingredient is the construction of computationally feasible “tight” surrogates which in turn are based on deriving a suitable well-conditioned variational formulation for the parameter dependent problem. The theoretical results are illustrated...

Dual finite element analysis for elliptic problems with obstacles on the boundary. I

Ivan Hlaváček (1977)

Aplikace matematiky

For an elliptic model problem with non-homogeneous unilateral boundary conditions, two dual variational formulations are presented and justified on the basis of a saddle point theorem. Using piecewise linear finite element models on the triangulation of the given domain, dual numerical procedures are proposed. By means of one-sided approximations, some a priori error estimates are proved, assuming that the solution is sufficiently smooth. A posteriori error estimates and two-sided bounds for the...

Dual finite element analysis of axisymmetric elliptic problems with an absolute term

Ivan Hlaváček (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

A model second order elliptic equation in cylindrical coordinates with mixed boundary conditions is considered. A dual variational formulation is employed to calculate the cogradient of the solution directly. Approximations are defined on the basis of standard finite elements spaces. Convergence analysis and some a posteriori error estimates are presented.

Dynamic frictional contact of a viscoelastic beam

Marco Campo, José R. Fernández, Georgios E. Stavroulakis, Juan M. Viaño (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, we study the dynamic frictional contact of a viscoelastic beam with a deformable obstacle. The beam is assumed to be situated horizontally and to move, in both horizontal and tangential directions, by the effect of applied forces. The left end of the beam is clamped and the right one is free. Its horizontal displacement is constrained because of the presence of a deformable obstacle, the so-called foundation, which is modelled by a normal compliance contact condition. The effect...
