On the Newton-Kantorovich theorem and nonlinear finite element methods

Ioannis K. Argyros (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Using a weaker version of the Newton-Kantorovich theorem, we provide a discretization result to find finite element solutions of elliptic boundary value problems. Our hypotheses are weaker and under the same computational cost lead to finer estimates on the distances involved and a more precise information on the location of the solution than before.

On the numerical approximation of first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Rémi Abgrall, Vincent Perrier (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Some methods for the numerical approximation of time-dependent and steady first-order Hamilton-Jacobi equations are reviewed. Most of the discussion focuses on conformal triangular-type meshes, but we show how to extend this to the most general meshes. We review some first-order monotone schemes and also high-order ones specially dedicated to steady problems.

On the numerical modeling of deformations of pressurized martensitic thin films

Pavel Bělík, Timothy Brule, Mitchell Luskin (2001)

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

We propose, analyze, and compare several numerical methods for the computation of the deformation of a pressurized martensitic thin film. Numerical results have been obtained for the hysteresis of the deformation as the film transforms reversibly from austenite to martensite.

We propose, analyze, and compare several numerical methods for the computation of the deformation of a pressurized martensitic thin film. Numerical results have been obtained for the hysteresis of the deformation as the film transforms reversibly from austenite to martensite.

On the numerical performance of a sharp a posteriori error estimator for some nonlinear elliptic problems

Balázs Kovács (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

Karátson and Korotov developed a sharp upper global a posteriori error estimator for a large class of nonlinear problems of elliptic type, see J. Karátson, S. Korotov (2009). The goal of this paper is to check its numerical performance, and to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of this estimator on the base of quasilinear elliptic equations of the second order. The focus will be on the technical and numerical aspects and on the components of the error estimation, especially on the adequate...

On the numerical solution of axisymmetric domain optimization problems

Ivan Hlaváček, Raino Mäkinen (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

An axisymmetric second order elliptic problem with mixed boundarz conditions is considered. A part of the boundary has to be found so as to minimize one of four types of cost functionals. The numerical realization is presented in detail. The convergence of piecewise linear approximations is proved. Several numerical examples are given.

On the optimal setting of the h p -version of the finite element method

Chleboun, Jan (2013)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

The goal of this contribution is to find the optimal finite element space for solving a particular boundary value problem in one spatial dimension. In other words, the optimal use of available degrees of freedom is sought after. This is done through optimizing both the mesh and the polynomial degree of the basis functions. The resulting combinatorial optimization problem is solved in parallel by a Matlab program running on a cluster of multi-core personal computers.
