On a variant of the local projection method stable in the SUPG norm

Petr Knobloch (2009)

Kybernetika

We consider the local projection finite element method for the discretization of a scalar convection-diffusion equation with a divergence-free convection field. We introduce a new fluctuation operator which is defined using an orthogonal L 2 projection with respect to a weighted L 2 inner product. We prove that the bilinear form corresponding to the discrete problem satisfies an inf-sup condition with respect to the SUPG norm and derive an error estimate for the discrete solution.

On adaptive BDDC for the flow in heterogeneous porous media

Bedřich Sousedík (2019)

Applications of Mathematics

We study a method based on Balancing Domain Decomposition by Constraints (BDDC) for numerical solution of a single-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media. The method solves for both flux and pressure variables. The fluxes are resolved in three steps: the coarse solve is followed by subdomain solves and last we look for a divergence-free flux correction and pressures using conjugate gradients with the BDDC preconditioner. Our main contribution is an application of the adaptive algorithm for selection...

On approximation of the Neumann problem by the penalty method

Michal Křížek (1993)

Applications of Mathematics

We prove that penalization of constraints occuring in the linear elliptic Neumann problem yields directly the exact solution for an arbitrary set of penalty parameters. In this case there is a continuum of Lagrange's multipliers. The proposed penalty method is applied to calculate the magnetic field in the window of a transformer.

On discontinuous Galerkin method and semiregular family of triangulations

Aleš Prachař (2006)

Applications of Mathematics

Discretization of second order elliptic partial differential equations by discontinuous Galerkin method often results in numerical schemes with penalties. In this paper we analyze these penalized schemes in the context of quite general triangular meshes satisfying only a semiregularity assumption. A new (modified) penalty term is presented and theoretical properties are proven together with illustrative numerical results.

On equilibrium finite elements in three-dimensional case

Sergey Korotov (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

The space of divergence-free functions with vanishing normal flux on the boundary is approximated by subspaces of finite elements that have the same property. The easiest way of generating basis functions in these subspaces is considered.

On estimation of diffusion coefficient based on spatio-temporal FRAP images: An inverse ill-posed problem

Kaňa, Radek, Matonoha, Ctirad, Papáček, Štěpán, Soukup, Jindřich (2013)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

We present the method for determination of phycobilisomes diffusivity (diffusion coefficient D ) on thylakoid membrane from fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments. This was usually done by analytical models consisting mainly of a simple curve fitting procedure. However, analytical models need some unrealistic conditions to be supposed. Our method, based on finite difference approximation of the process governed by the Fickian diffusion equation and on the minimization of an...

On exact results in the finite element method

Ivan Hlaváček, Michal Křížek (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

We prove that the finite element method for one-dimensional problems yields no discretization error at nodal points provided the shape functions are appropriately chosen. Then we consider a biharmonic problem with mixed boundary conditions and the weak solution u . We show that the Galerkin approximation of u based on the so-called biharmonic finite elements is independent of the values of u in the interior of any subelement.
