The role of Sommerville tetrahedra in numerical mathematics

Hošek, Radim (2017)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

In this paper we summarize three recent results in computational geometry, that were motivated by applications in mathematical modelling of fluids. The cornerstone of all three results is the genuine construction developed by D. Sommerville already in 1923. We show Sommerville tetrahedra can be effectively used as an underlying mesh with additional properties and also can help us prove a result on boundary-fitted meshes. Finally we demonstrate the universality of the Sommerville's construction by...

The role of the patch test in 2D atomistic-to-continuum coupling methods∗

Christoph Ortner (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

For a general class of atomistic-to-continuum coupling methods, coupling multi-body interatomic potentials with a P1-finite element discretisation of Cauchy–Born nonlinear elasticity, this paper adresses the question whether patch test consistency (or, absence of ghost forces) implies a first-order error estimate. In two dimensions it is shown that this is indeed true under the following additional technical assumptions: (i) an energy consistency condition, (ii) locality of the interface correction,...

The Rothe method and time periodic solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations and equations of magnetohydrodynamics

Dana Lauerová (1990)

Aplikace matematiky

The existence of a periodic solution of a nonlinear equation z ' + A 0 z + B 0 z = F is proved. The theory developed may be used to prove the existence of a periodic solution of the variational formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations or the equations of magnetohydrodynamics. The proof of the main existence theorem is based on Rothe method in combination with the Galerkin method, using the Brouwer fixed point theorem.

The second order projection method in time for the time-dependent natural convection problem

Yanxia Qian, Tong Zhang (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider the second-order projection schemes for the time-dependent natural convection problem. By the projection method, the natural convection problem is decoupled into two linear subproblems, and each subproblem is solved more easily than the original one. The error analysis is accomplished by interpreting the second-order time discretization of a perturbed system which approximates the time-dependent natural convection problem, and the rigorous error analysis of the projection schemes is...

The solution existence and convergence analysis for linear and nonlinear differential-operator equations in Banach spaces within the Calogero type projection-algebraic scheme of discrete approximations

Miroslaw Lustyk, Julian Janus, Marzenna Pytel-Kudela, Anatoliy Prykarpatsky (2009)

Open Mathematics

The projection-algebraic approach of the Calogero type for discrete approximations of linear and nonlinear differential operator equations in Banach spaces is studied. The solution convergence and realizability properties of the related approximating schemes are analyzed. For the limiting-dense approximating scheme of linear differential operator equations a new convergence theorem is stated. In the case of nonlinear differential operator equations the effective convergence conditions for the approximated...

The strengthened C.B.S. inequality constant for second order elliptic partial differential operator and for hierarchical bilinear finite element functions

Ivana Pultarová (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

We estimate the constant in the strengthened Cauchy-Bunyakowski-Schwarz inequality for hierarchical bilinear finite element spaces and elliptic partial differential equations with coefficients corresponding to anisotropy (orthotropy). It is shown that there is a nontrivial universal estimate, which does not depend on anisotropy. Moreover, this estimate is sharp and the same as for hierarchical linear finite element spaces.

The successive approximation method for the Dirichlet problem in a planar domain

Dagmar Medková (2008)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation for a planar domain with piecewise-smooth boundary is studied using the indirect integral equation method. The domain is bounded or unbounded. It is not supposed that the boundary is connected. The boundary conditions are continuous or p-integrable functions. It is proved that a solution of the corresponding integral equation can be obtained using the successive approximation method.

The treatment of “pinching locking” in 3 D -shell elements

Dominique Chapelle, Anca Ferent, Patrick Le Tallec (2003)

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

We consider a family of shell finite elements with quadratic displacements across the thickness. These elements are very attractive, but compared to standard general shell elements they face another source of numerical locking in addition to shear and membrane locking. This additional locking phenomenon – that we call “pinching locking” – is the subject of this paper and we analyse a numerical strategy designed to overcome this difficulty. Using a model problem in which only this specific source...

The use of linear approximation scheme for solving the Stefan problem

Peter Dzurenda (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper deals with the linear approximation scheme to approximate a singular parabolic problem: the two-phase Stefan problem on a domain consisting of two components with imperfect contact. The results of some numerical experiments and comparisons are presented. The method was used to determine the temperature of steel in the process of continuous casting.

The virtual element method for eigenvalue problems with potential terms on polytopic meshes

Ondřej Čertík, Francesca Gardini, Gianmarco Manzini, Giuseppe Vacca (2018)

Applications of Mathematics

We extend the conforming virtual element method (VEM) to the numerical resolution of eigenvalue problems with potential terms on a polytopic mesh. An important application is that of the Schrödinger equation with a pseudopotential term. This model is a fundamental element in the numerical resolution of more complex problems from the Density Functional Theory. The VEM is based on the construction of the discrete bilinear forms of the variational formulation through certain polynomial projection operators...

Thermal ablation modeling via the bioheat equation and its numerical treatment

Agnieszka Bartłomiejczyk, Henryk Leszczyński, Artur Poliński (2015)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The phenomenon of thermal ablation is described by Pennes' bioheat equation. This model is based on Newton's law of cooling. Many approximate methods have been considered because of the importance of this issue. We propose an implicit numerical scheme which has better stability properties than other approaches.
