A residual based A POSTERIORI error estimator for an augmented mixed finite element method in linear elasticity

Tomás P. Barrios, Gabriel N. Gatica, María González, Norbert Heuer (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper we develop a residual based a posteriori error analysis for an augmented mixed finite element method applied to the problem of linear elasticity in the plane. More precisely, we derive a reliable and efficient a posteriori error estimator for the case of pure Dirichlet boundary conditions. In addition, several numerical experiments confirming the theoretical properties of the estimator, and illustrating the capability of the corresponding adaptive algorithm to localize the singularities...

A second-order finite volume element method on quadrilateral meshes for elliptic equations

Min Yang (2006)

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

In this paper, by use of affine biquadratic elements, we construct and analyze a finite volume element scheme for elliptic equations on quadrilateral meshes. The scheme is shown to be of second-order in H 1 -norm, provided that each quadrilateral in partition is almost a parallelogram. Numerical experiments are presented to confirm the usefulness and efficiency of the method.

About Delaunay triangulations and discrete maximum principles for the linear conforming FEM applied to the Poisson equation

Reiner Vanselow (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

The starting point of the analysis in this paper is the following situation: “In a bounded domain in ℝ 2 , let a finite set of points be given. A triangulation of that domain has to be found, whose vertices are the given points and which is ‘suitable’ for the linear conforming Finite Element Method (FEM).” The result of this paper is that for the discrete Poisson equation and under some weak additional assumptions, only the use of Delaunay triangulations preserves the maximum principle.

Adaptive finite element methods for elliptic problems: Abstract framework and applications

Serge Nicaise, Sarah Cochez-Dhondt (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider a general abstract framework of a continuous elliptic problem set on a Hilbert space V that is approximated by a family of (discrete) problems set on a finite-dimensional space of finite dimension not necessarily included into V. We give a series of realistic conditions on an error estimator that allows to conclude that the marking strategy of bulk type leads to the geometric convergence of the adaptive algorithm. These conditions are then verified for different concrete 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...

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 Quadrilateral Mesh in Curved Domains

Kumar Khattri, Sanjay (2009)

Serdica Journal of Computing

An nonlinear elliptic system for generating adaptive quadrilateral meshes in curved domains is presented. The presented technique has been implemented in the C++ language with the help of the standard template library. The software package writes the converged meshes in the GMV and the Matlab formats. Grid generation is the first very important step for numerically solving partial differential equations. Thus, the presented C++ grid generator is extremely important to the computational science community....

An equilibrated residual method with a computable error approximation for a singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problem on anisotropic finite element meshes

Sergey Grosman (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problems exhibit in general solutions with anisotropic features, e.g. strong boundary and/or interior layers. This anisotropy is reflected in a discretization by using meshes with anisotropic elements. The quality of the numerical solution rests on the robustness of the a posteriori error estimator with respect to both, the perturbation parameters of the problem and the anisotropy of the mesh. The equilibrated residual method has been shown to provide one...

Analysis of patch substructuring methods

Martin Gander, Laurence Halpern, Frédéric Magoulès, Francois Roux (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Patch substructuring methods are non-overlapping domain decomposition methods like classical substructuring methods, but they use information from geometric patches reaching into neighboring subdomains condensated, on the interfaces to enhance the performance of the method, while keeping it non-overlapping. These methods are very convenient to use in practice, but their convergence properties have not been studied yet. We analyze geometric patch substructuring methods for the special case of one...

Anisotropic h p -adaptive method based on interpolation error estimates in the H 1 -seminorm

Vít Dolejší (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

We develop a new technique which, for the given smooth function, generates the anisotropic triangular grid and the corresponding polynomial approximation degrees based on the minimization of the interpolation error in the broken H 1 -seminorm. This technique can be employed for the numerical solution of boundary value problems with the aid of finite element methods. We present the theoretical background of this approach and show several numerical examples demonstrating the efficiency of the proposed...

Anisotropic mesh adaption: application to computational fluid dynamics

Simona Perotto (2005)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In this communication we focus on goal-oriented anisotropic adaption techniques. Starting point has been the derivation of suitable anisotropic interpolation error estimates for piecewise linear finite elements, on triangular grids in 2 ⁢ D . Then we have merged these interpolation estimates with the dual-based a posteriori error analysis proposed by R. Rannacher and R. Becker. As examples of this general anisotropic a posteriori analysis, elliptic, advection-diffusion-reaction and the Stokes problems...

Anisotropic mesh refinement in polyhedral domains: error estimates with data in L2(Ω)

Thomas Apel, Ariel L. Lombardi, Max Winkler (2014)

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

The paper is concerned with the finite element solution of the Poisson equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition in a three-dimensional domain. Anisotropic, graded meshes from a former paper are reused for dealing with the singular behaviour of the solution in the vicinity of the non-smooth parts of the boundary. The discretization error is analyzed for the piecewise linear approximation in the H1(Ω)- and L2(Ω)-norms by using a new quasi-interpolation operator. This new interpolant...
