Algebraic domain decomposition solver for linear elasticity

Aleš Janka (1999)

Applications of Mathematics

We generalize the overlapping Schwarz domain decomposition method to problems of linear elasticity. The convergence rate independent of the mesh size, coarse-space size, Korn’s constant and essential boundary conditions is proved here. Abstract convergence bounds developed here can be used for an analysis of the method applied to singular perturbations of other elliptic problems.

An a posteriori error analysis of adaptive finite element methods for distributed elliptic control problems with control constraints

Michael Kieweg, Yuri Iliash, Ronald H. W. Hoppe, Michael Hintermüller (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We present an a posteriori error analysis of adaptive finite element approximations of distributed control problems for second order elliptic boundary value problems under bound constraints on the control. The error analysis is based on a residual-type a posteriori error estimator that consists of edge and element residuals. Since we do not assume any regularity of the data of the problem, the error analysis further invokes data oscillations. We prove reliability and efficiency of the error estimator...

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We present an a posteriori error analysis of adaptive finite element approximations of distributed control problems for second order elliptic boundary value problems under bound constraints on the control. The error analysis is based on a residual-type a posteriori error estimator that consists of edge and element residuals. Since we do not assume any regularity of the data of the problem, the error analysis further invokes data oscillations. We prove reliability and efficiency of the error estimator...

An adaptive finite element method for solving a double well problem describing crystalline microstructure

Andreas Prohl (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The minimization of nonconvex functionals naturally arises in materials sciences where deformation gradients in certain alloys exhibit microstructures. For example, minimizing sequences of the nonconvex Ericksen-James energy can be associated with deformations in martensitic materials that are observed in experiments[2,3]. — From the numerical point of view, classical conforming and nonconforming finite element discretizations have been observed to give minimizers with their quality being highly dependent...

An adaptive finite element method in reconstruction of coefficients in Maxwell's equations from limited observations

Larisa Beilina, Samar Hosseinzadegan (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

We propose an adaptive finite element method for the solution of a coefficient inverse problem of simultaneous reconstruction of the dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability functions in the Maxwell's system using limited boundary observations of the electric field in 3D. We derive a posteriori error estimates in the Tikhonov functional to be minimized and in the regularized solution of this functional, as well as formulate the corresponding adaptive algorithm. Our numerical experiments...

An analysis of the boundary layer in the 1D surface Cauchy–Born model

Kavinda Jayawardana, Christelle Mordacq, Christoph Ortner, Harold S. Park (2013)

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

The surface Cauchy–Born (SCB) method is a computational multi-scale method for the simulation of surface-dominated crystalline materials. We present an error analysis of the SCB method, focused on the role of surface relaxation. In a linearized 1D model we show that the error committed by the SCB method is 𝒪(1) in the mesh size; however, we are able to identify an alternative “approximation parameter” – the stiffness of the interaction potential – with respect to which the relative error...

An analysis technique for stabilized finite element solution of incompressible flows

Tomás Chacón Rebollo (2001)

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

This paper presents an extension to stabilized methods of the standard technique for the numerical analysis of mixed methods. We prove that the stability of stabilized methods follows from an underlying discrete inf-sup condition, plus a uniform separation property between bubble and velocity finite element spaces. We apply the technique introduced to prove the stability of stabilized spectral element methods so as stabilized solution of the primitive equations of the ocean.
