Optimization of the domain in elliptic problems by the dual finite element method

Ivan Hlaváček (1985)

Aplikace matematiky

An optimal part of the boundary of a plane domain for the Poisson equation with mixed boundary conditions is to be found. The cost functional is (i) the internal energy, (ii) the norm of the external flux through the unknown boundary. For the numerical solution of the state problem a dual variational formulation - in terms of the gradient of the solution - and spaces of divergence-free piecewise linear finite elements are used. The existence of an optimal domain and some convergence results are...

Optimized Schwarz coupling of Bidomain and Monodomain models in electrocardiology

Luca Gerardo-Giorda, Mauro Perego, Alessandro Veneziani (2011)

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

The Bidomain model is nowadays one of the most accurate mathematical descriptions of the action potential propagation in the heart. However, its numerical approximation is in general fairly expensive as a consequence of the mathematical features of this system. For this reason, a simplification of this model, called Monodomain problem is quite often adopted in order to reduce computational costs. Reliability of this model is however questionable, in particular in the presence of applied currents...

Optimized Schwarz Methods for the Bidomain system in electrocardiology

Luca Gerardo-Giorda, Mauro Perego (2013)

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

The propagation of the action potential in the heart chambers is accurately described by the Bidomain model, which is commonly accepted and used in the specialistic literature. However, its mathematical structure of a degenerate parabolic system entails high computational costs in the numerical solution of the associated linear system. Domain decomposition methods are a natural way to reduce computational costs, and Optimized Schwarz Methods have proven in the recent years their effectiveness in...

Origins, analysis, numerical analysis, and numerical approximation of a forward-backward parabolic problem

A. Kadir Aziz, Donald A. French, Soren Jensen, R. Bruce Kellogg (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider the analysis and numerical solution of a forward-backward boundary value problem. We provide some motivation, prove existence and uniqueness in a function class especially geared to the problem at hand, provide various energy estimates, prove a priori error estimates for the Galerkin method, and show the results of some numerical computations.

Partition of unity method for Helmholtz equation: q -convergence for plane-wave and wave-band local bases

Theofanis Strouboulis, Realino Hidajat (2006)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we study the q -version of the Partition of Unity Method for the Helmholtz equation. The method is obtained by employing the standard bilinear finite element basis on a mesh of quadrilaterals discretizing the domain as the Partition of Unity used to paste together local bases of special wave-functions employed at the mesh vertices. The main topic of the paper is the comparison of the performance of the method for two choices of local basis functions, namely a) plane-waves, and b) wave-bands....

Penalties, Lagrange multipliers and Nitsche mortaring

Christian Grossmann (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Penalty methods, augmented Lagrangian methods and Nitsche mortaring are well known numerical methods among the specialists in the related areas optimization and finite elements, respectively, but common aspects are rarely available. The aim of the present paper is to describe these methods from a unifying optimization perspective and to highlight some common features of them.

Penalty method and extrapolation for axisymmetric elliptic problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions

Ivan Hlaváček (1990)

Aplikace matematiky

A second order elliptic problem with axisymmetric data is solved in a finite element space, constructed on a triangulation with curved triangles, in such a way, that the (nonhomogeneous) boundary condition is fulfilled in the sense of a penalty. On the basis of two approximate solutions, extrapolates for both the solution and the boundary flux are defined. Some a priori error estimates are derived, provided the exact solution is regular enough. The paper extends some of the results of J.T. King...
