Convergence analysis of the lowest order weakly penalized adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods

Thirupathi Gudi, Johnny Guzmán (2014)

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

In this article, we prove convergence of the weakly penalized adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods. Unlike other works, we derive the contraction property for various discontinuous Galerkin methods only assuming the stabilizing parameters are large enough to stabilize the method. A central idea in the analysis is to construct an auxiliary solution from the discontinuous Galerkin solution by a simple post processing. Based on the auxiliary solution, we define the adaptive algorithm which guides...

Convergence and quasi-optimal complexity of a simple adaptive finite element method

Roland Becker, Shipeng Mao (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We prove convergence and quasi-optimal complexity of an adaptive finite element algorithm on triangular meshes with standard mesh refinement. Our algorithm is based on an adaptive marking strategy. In each iteration, a simple edge estimator is compared to an oscillation term and the marking of cells for refinement is done according to the dominant contribution only. In addition, we introduce an adaptive stopping criterion for iterative solution which compares an estimator for the iteration error...

Convergence and regularization results for optimal control problems with sparsity functional

Gerd Wachsmuth, Daniel Wachsmuth (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Optimization problems with convex but non-smooth cost functional subject to an elliptic partial differential equation are considered. The non-smoothness arises from a L1-norm in the objective functional. The problem is regularized to permit the use of the semi-smooth Newton method. Error estimates with respect to the regularization parameter are provided. Moreover, finite element approximations are studied. A-priori as well as a-posteriori error estimates are developed and confirmed by numerical...

Convergence conditions for Secant-type methods

Ioannis K. Argyros, Said Hilout (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We provide new sufficient convergence conditions for the convergence of the secant-type methods to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space. Our new idea uses recurrent functions, and Lipschitz-type and center-Lipschitz-type instead of just Lipschitz-type conditions on the divided difference of the operator involved. It turns out that this way our error bounds are more precise than earlier ones and under our convergence hypotheses we can cover cases where earlier conditions...

Convergence of a finite element discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations in vorticity and stream function formulation

Mohamed Amara, Christine Bernardi (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The standard discretization of the Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations in vorticity and stream function formulation by affine finite elements is known for its bad convergence. We present here a modified discretization, we prove that the convergence is improved and we establish a priori error estimates.

Convergence of a numerical scheme for a nonlinear oblique derivative boundary value problem

Florian Mehats (2002)

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

We present here a discretization of a nonlinear oblique derivative boundary value problem for the heat equation in dimension two. This finite difference scheme takes advantages of the structure of the boundary condition, which can be reinterpreted as a Burgers equation in the space variables. This enables to obtain an energy estimate and to prove the convergence of the scheme. We also provide some numerical simulations of this problem and a numerical study of the stability of the scheme, which appears...
