Erratum. A Nonconforming Combined Method for Solving Laplace's Boundary Value Problems with Singularities.
The phase relaxation model is a diffuse interface model with small parameter ε which consists of a parabolic PDE for temperature θ and an ODE with double obstacles for phase variable χ. To decouple the system a semi-explicit Euler method with variable step-size τ is used for time discretization, which requires the stability constraint τ ≤ ε. Conforming piecewise linear finite elements over highly graded simplicial meshes with parameter h are further employed for space discretization. A posteriori...
We investigate finite element approximations of one-dimensional elliptic control problems. For semidiscretizations and full discretizations with piecewise constant controls we derive error estimates in the maximum norm.
For convection-diffusion problems with exponential layers, optimal error estimates for linear finite elements on Shishkin-type meshes are known. We present the first optimal convergence result in an energy norm for a Bakhvalov-type mesh.
Interest in meshfree methods in solving boundary-value problems has grown rapidly in recent years. A meshless method that has attracted considerable interest in the community of computational mechanics is built around the idea of modified local Shepard’s partition of unity. For these kinds of applications it is fundamental to analyze the order of the approximation in the context of Sobolev spaces. In this paper, we study two different techniques for building modified local Shepard’s formulas, and...
