Numerical Approximations of the Relative Rearrangement: The piecewise linear case. Application to some Nonlocal Problems

Jean-Michel Rakotoson, Maria Luisa Seoane (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We first prove an abstract result for a class of nonlocal problems using fixed point method. We apply this result to equations revelant from plasma physic problems. These equations contain terms like monotone or relative rearrangement of functions. So, we start the approximation study by using finite element to discretize this nonstandard quantities. We end the paper by giving a numerical resolution of a model containing those terms.

Numerical homogenization for indefinite H(curl)-problems

Verfürth, Barbara (2017)

Proceedings of Equadiff 14

In this paper, we present a numerical homogenization scheme for indefinite, timeharmonic Maxwell’s equations involving potentially rough (rapidly oscillating) coefficients. The method involves an H(curl)-stable, quasi-local operator, which allows for a correction of coarse finite element functions such that order optimal (w.r.t. the mesh size) error estimates are obtained. To that end, we extend the procedure of [D. Gallistl, P. Henning, B. Verfürth, Numerical homogenization for H(curl)-problems,...

Numerical homogenization of well singularities in the flow transport through heterogeneous porous media: fully discrete scheme

Meiqun Jiang, Xingye Yue (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Motivated by well-driven flow transport in porous media, Chen and Yue proposed a numerical homogenization method for Green function [Multiscale Model. Simul.1 (2003) 260–303]. In that paper, the authors focused on the well pore pressure, so the local error analysis in maximum norm was presented. As a continuation, we will consider a fully discrete scheme and its multiscale error analysis on the velocity field.

Numerical integration for high order pyramidal finite elements

Nilima Nigam, Joel Phillips (2012)

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

We examine the effect of numerical integration on the accuracy of high order conforming pyramidal finite element methods. Non-smooth shape functions are indispensable to the construction of pyramidal elements, and this means the conventional treatment of numerical integration, which requires that the finite element approximation space is piecewise polynomial, cannot be applied. We develop an analysis that allows the finite element approximation space to include non-smooth functions and show that,...

Numerical integration in the Trefftz finite element method

Rozehnalová, Petra (2017)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

Using the high order Trefftz finite element method for solving partial differential equation requires numerical integration of oscillating functions. This integration could be performed, instead of classic techniques, also by the Levin method with some modifications. This paper shortly describes both the Trefftz method and the Levin method with its modification.

Numerical investigation of a new class of waves in an open nonlinear heat-conducting medium

Milena Dimova, Stefka Dimova, Daniela Vasileva (2013)

Open Mathematics

The paper contributes to the problem of finding all possible structures and waves, which may arise and preserve themselves in the open nonlinear medium, described by the mathematical model of heat structures. A new class of self-similar blow-up solutions of this model is constructed numerically and their stability is investigated. An effective and reliable numerical approach is developed and implemented for solving the nonlinear elliptic self-similar problem and the parabolic problem. This approach...

Numerical simulation of the motion of a three-dimensional glacier

Marco Picasso, Jacques Rappaz, Adrian Reist (2008)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

The motion of a three-dimensional glacier is considered. Ice is modeled as an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid. At each time step, given the shape of the glacier, a nonlinear elliptic system has to be solved in order to obtain the two components of the horizontal velocity field. Then, the shape of the glacier is updated by solving a transport equation. Finite element techniques are used to compute the velocity field and to solve the transport equation. Numerical results are compared to experiments...

Numerical simulations for nodal domains and spectral minimal partitions

Virginie Bonnaillie-Noël, Bernard Helffer, Gregory Vial (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We recall here some theoretical results of Helffer et al. [Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Anal. Non Linéaire (2007) doi:10.1016/j.anihpc.2007.07.004] about minimal partitions and propose numerical computations to check some of their published or unpublished conjectures and exhibit new ones.

Numerical solution of parabolic equations in high dimensions

Tobias Von Petersdorff, Christoph Schwab (2004)

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

We consider the numerical solution of diffusion problems in ( 0 , T ) × Ω for Ω d and for T > 0 in dimension d 1 . We use a wavelet based sparse grid space discretization with mesh-width h and order p 1 , and h p discontinuous Galerkin time-discretization of order r = O ( log h ) on a geometric sequence of O ( log h ) many time steps. The linear systems in each time step are solved iteratively by O ( log h ) GMRES iterations with a wavelet preconditioner. We prove that this algorithm gives an L 2 ( Ω ) -error of O ( N - p ) for u ( x , T ) where N is the total number of operations,...

We consider the numerical solution of diffusion problems in (0,T) x Ω for Ω d and for T > 0 in dimension dd ≥ 1. We use a wavelet based sparse grid space discretization with mesh-width h and order pd ≥ 1, and hp discontinuous Galerkin time-discretization of order r = O ( log h ) on a geometric sequence of O ( log h ) many time steps.
