Convergence analysis for an exponentially fitted Finite Volume Method

Reiner Vanselow (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The paper is devoted to the convergence analysis of a well-known cell-centered Finite Volume Method (FVM) for a convection-diffusion problem in 2 . This FVM is based on Voronoi boxes and exponential fitting. To prove the convergence of the FVM, we use a new nonconforming Petrov-Galerkin Finite Element Method (FEM) for which the system of linear equations coincides completely with that of the FVM. Thus, by proving convergence properties of the FEM we obtain similar ones for the FVM. For the error...

Convergent algorithms suitable for the solution of the semiconductor device equations

Miroslav Pospíšek (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, two algorithms are proposed to solve systems of algebraic equations generated by a discretization procedure of the weak formulation of boundary value problems for systems of nonlinear elliptic equations. The first algorithm, Newton-CG-MG, is suitable for systems with gradient mappings, while the second, Newton-CE-MG, can be applied to more general systems. Convergence theorems are proved and application to the semiconductor device modelling is described.

Curved triangular finite C m -elements

Alexander Ženíšek (1978)

Aplikace matematiky

Curved triangular C m -elements which can be pieced together with the generalized Bell’s C m -elements are constructed. They are applied to solving the Dirichlet problem of an elliptic equation of the order 2 ( m + 1 ) in a domain with a smooth boundary by the finite element method. The effect of numerical integration is studied, sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the approximate solution are presented and the rate of convergence is estimated. The rate of convergence is the same as in the...
