Optimal error estimates for FEM approximations of dynamic nonlinear shallow shells

Irena Lasiecka, Rich Marchand (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Finite element semidiscrete approximations on nonlinear dynamic shallow shell models in considered. It is shown that the algorithm leads to global, optimal rates of convergence. The result presented in the paper improves upon the existing literature where the rates of convergence were derived for small initial data only [19].

Optimal error Estimates for the Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations with slip–boundary condition

Eberhard Bänsch, Klaus Deckelnick (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider a finite element discretization by the Taylor–Hood element for the stationary Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations with slip boundary condition. The slip boundary condition is enforced pointwise for nodal values of the velocity in boundary nodes. We prove optimal error estimates in the H1 and L2 norms for the velocity and pressure respectively.

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.
