Multigrid Methods for Boundary Integral Equations.
A type of adaptive finite element method is presented for semilinear elliptic problems based on multilevel correction scheme. The main idea of the method is to transform the semilinear elliptic equation into a sequence of linearized boundary value problems on the adaptive partitions and some semilinear elliptic problems on very low dimensional finite element spaces. Hence, solving the semilinear elliptic problem can reach almost the same efficiency as the adaptive method for the associated boundary...
In this paper, a multi-parameter error resolution technique is applied into a mixed finite element method for the Stokes problem. By using this technique and establishing a multi-parameter asymptotic error expansion for the mixed finite element method, an approximation of higher accuracy is obtained by multi-processor computers in parallel.
In this paper we introduce and analyze some non-overlapping multiplicative Schwarz methods for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approximations of elliptic problems. The construction of the Schwarz preconditioners is presented in a unified framework for a wide class of DG methods. For symmetric DG approximations we provide optimal convergence bounds for the corresponding error propagation operator, and we show that the resulting methods can be accelerated by using suitable Krylov space solvers. A discussion...
In this paper we present some recent results concerning convergence rate estimates for finite-difference schemes approximating boundary-value problems. Special attention is given to the problem of minimal smoothness of coefficients in partial differential equations necessary for obtaining the results.
This paper is a survey of articles [5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 17, 18]. We are interested in the influence of small geometrical perturbations on the solution of elliptic problems. The cases of a single inclusion or several well-separated inclusions have been deeply studied. We recall here techniques to construct an asymptotic expansion. Then we consider moderately close inclusions, i.e. the distance between the inclusions tends to zero more slowly than their characteristic size. We provide a complete asymptotic...
We extend the multiscale finite element method (MsFEM) as formulated by Hou and Wu in [Hou T.Y., Wu X.-H., A multiscale finite element method for elliptic problems in composite materials and porous media, J. Comput. Phys., 1997, 134(1), 169–189] to the PDE system of linear elasticity. The application, motivated by the multiscale analysis of highly heterogeneous composite materials, is twofold. Resolving the heterogeneities on the finest scale, we utilize the linear MsFEM basis for the construction...
