Multilevel correction adaptive finite element method for semilinear elliptic equation

Qun Lin, Hehu Xie, Fei Xu (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

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...

Multi-parameter asymptotic error resolution of the mixed finite element method for the Stokes problem

Aihui Zhou (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

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.

Multiplicative Schwarz Methods for Discontinuous Galerkin Approximations of Elliptic Problems

Paola F. Antonietti, Blanca Ayuso (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

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...

Multiscale expansion and numerical approximation for surface defects⋆

V. Bonnaillie-Noël, D. Brancherie, M. Dambrine, F. Hérau, S. Tordeux, G. Vial (2011)

ESAIM: Proceedings

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...

Multiscale finite element coarse spaces for the application to linear elasticity

Marco Buck, Oleg Iliev, Heiko Andrä (2013)

Open Mathematics

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...
