Spurious-free approximations of electromagnetic eigenproblems by means of Nedelec-type elements

Salvatore Caorsi, Paolo Fernandes, Mirco Raffetto (2001)

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

By using an inductive procedure we prove that the Galerkin finite element approximations of electromagnetic eigenproblems modelling cavity resonators by elements of any fixed order of either Nedelec’s edge element family on tetrahedral meshes are convergent and free of spurious solutions. This result is not new but is proved under weaker hypotheses, which are fulfilled in most of engineering applications. The method of the proof is new, instead, and shows how families of spurious-free elements can...

Stability for a certain class of numerical methods – abstract approach and application to the stationary Navier-Stokes equations

Elżbieta Motyl (2012)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We consider some abstract nonlinear equations in a separable Hilbert space H and some class of approximate equations on closed linear subspaces of H . The main result concerns stability with respect to the approximation of the space H . We prove that, generically, the set of all solutions of the exact equation is the limit in the sense of the Hausdorff metric over H of the sets of approximate solutions, over some filterbase on the family of all closed linear subspaces of H . The abstract results are...

Stability of a finite element method for 3D exterior stationary Navier-Stokes flows

Paul Deuring (2007)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider numerical approximations of stationary incompressible Navier-Stokes flows in 3D exterior domains, with nonzero velocity at infinity. It is shown that a P1-P1 stabilized finite element method proposed by C. Rebollo: A term by term stabilization algorithm for finite element solution of incompressible flow problems, Numer. Math. 79 (1998), 283–319, is stable when applied to a Navier-Stokes flow in a truncated exterior domain with a pointwise boundary condition on the artificial boundary....

Stability of microstructure for tetragonal to monoclinic martensitic transformations

Pavel Belik, Mitchell Luskin (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We give an analysis of the stability and uniqueness of the simply laminated microstructure for all three tetragonal to monoclinic martensitic transformations. The energy density for tetragonal to monoclinic transformations has four rotationally invariant wells since the transformation has four variants. One of these tetragonal to monoclinic martensitic transformations corresponds to the shearing of the rectangular side, one corresponds to the shearing of the square base, and one corresponds to...

Stabilization methods in relaxed micromagnetism

Stefan A. Funken, Andreas Prohl (2005)

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

The magnetization of a ferromagnetic sample solves a non-convex variational problem, where its relaxation by convexifying the energy density resolves relevant macroscopic information. The numerical analysis of the relaxed model has to deal with a constrained convex but degenerated, nonlocal energy functional in mixed formulation for magnetic potential u and magnetization 𝐦 . In [C. Carstensen and A. Prohl, Numer. Math. 90 (2001) 65–99], the conforming P 1 - ( P 0 ) d -element in d = 2 , 3 spatial dimensions is shown to...

Stabilization methods of bubble type for the Q1/Q1-element applied to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

Petr Knobloch, Lutz Tobiska (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, a general technique is developed to enlarge the velocity space V h 1 of the unstable -element by adding spaces V h 2 such that for the extended pair the Babuska-Brezzi condition is satisfied. Examples of stable elements which can be derived in such a way imply the stability of the well-known Q2/Q1-element and the 4Q1/Q1-element. However, our new elements are much more cheaper. In particular, we shall see that more than half of the additional degrees of freedom when switching from the Q1...

Stabilization of a non standard FETI-DP mortar method for the Stokes problem

E. Chacón Vera, T. Chacón Rebollo (2014)

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

In a recent paper [E. Chacón Vera and D. Franco Coronil, J. Numer. Math. 20 (2012) 161–182.] a non standard mortar method for incompressible Stokes problem was introduced where the use of the trace spaces H1 / 2and H1/200and a direct computation of the pairing of the trace spaces with their duals are the main ingredients. The importance of the reduction of the number of degrees of freedom leads naturally to consider the stabilized version and this is the results we present in this work. We prove...

Stabilization of Galerkin approximations of transport equations by subgrid modeling

Jean-Luc Guermond (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper presents a stabilization technique for approximating transport equations. The key idea consists in introducing an artificial diffusion based on a two-level decomposition of the approximation space. The technique is proved to have stability and convergence properties that are similar to that of the streamline diffusion method.

Stabilized Galerkin finite element methods for convection dominated and incompressible flow problems

Gert Lube (1994)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper, we analyze a class of stabilized finite element formulations used in computation of (i) second order elliptic boundary value problems (diffusion-convection-reaction model) and (ii) the Navier-Stokes problem (incompressible flow model). These stabilization techniques prevent numerical instabilities that might be generated by dominant convection/reaction terms in (i), (ii) or by inappropriate combinations of velocity/pressure interpolation functions in (ii). Stability and convergence...
