Post-buckling range of plates in axial compression with uncertain initial geometric imperfections

Ivan Hlaváček (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

The method of reliable solutions alias the worst scenario method is applied to the problem of von Kármán equations with uncertain initial deflection. Assuming two-mode initial and total deflections and using Galerkin approximations, the analysis leads to a system of two nonlinear algebraic equations with one or two uncertain parameters-amplitudes of initial deflections. Numerical examples involve (i) minimization of lower buckling loads and (ii) maximization of the maximal mean reduced stress.

Postprocessing and higher order convergence for the mixed finite element approximations of the Stokes eigenvalue problems

Hongtao Chen, Shanghui Jia, Hehu Xie (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we propose a method for improving the convergence rate of the mixed finite element approximations for the Stokes eigenvalue problem. It is based on a postprocessing strategy that consists of solving an additional Stokes source problem on an augmented mixed finite element space which can be constructed either by refining the mesh or by using the same mesh but increasing the order of the mixed finite element space.

Postprocessing of a finite volume element method for semilinear parabolic problems

Min Yang, Chunjia Bi, Jiangguo Liu (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper, we study a postprocessing procedure for improving accuracy of the finite volume element approximations of semilinear parabolic problems. The procedure amounts to solve a source problem on a coarser grid and then solve a linear elliptic problem on a finer grid after the time evolution is finished. We derive error estimates in the L2 and H1 norms for the standard finite volume element scheme and an improved error estimate in the H1 norm. Numerical results demonstrate the accuracy...

Progress in developing Poisson-Boltzmann equation solvers

Chuan Li, Lin Li, Marharyta Petukh, Emil Alexov (2013)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

This review outlines the recent progress made in developing more accurate and efficient solutions to model electrostatics in systems comprised of bio-macromolecules and nanoobjects, the last one referring to objects that do not have biological function themselves but nowadays are frequently used in biophysical and medical approaches in conjunction with bio-macromolecules. The problem of modeling macromolecular electrostatics is reviewed from two different angles: as a mathematical task provided...

Proper orthogonal decomposition for optimality systems

Karl Kunisch, Stefan Volkwein (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is a powerful technique for model reduction of non-linear systems. It is based on a Galerkin type discretization with basis elements created from the dynamical system itself. In the context of optimal control this approach may suffer from the fact that the basis elements are computed from a reference trajectory containing features which are quite different from those of the optimally controlled trajectory. A method is proposed which avoids this problem of unmodelled...

Properties of a quasi-uniformly monotone operator and its application to the electromagnetic $p$-$\text {curl}$ systems

Chang-Ho Song, Yong-Gon Ri, Cholmin Sin (2022)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we propose a new concept of quasi-uniform monotonicity weaker than the uniform monotonicity which has been developed in the study of nonlinear operator equation $Au=b$. We prove that if $A$ is a quasi-uniformly monotone and hemi-continuous operator, then $A^{-1}$ is strictly monotone, bounded and continuous, and thus the Galerkin approximations converge. Also we show an application of a quasi-uniformly monotone and hemi-continuous operator to the proof of the well-posedness and convergence...

Properties of triangulations obtained by the longest-edge bisection

Francisco Perdomo, Ángel Plaza (2014)

Open Mathematics

The Longest-Edge (LE) bisection of a triangle is obtained by joining the midpoint of its longest edge with the opposite vertex. Here two properties of the longest-edge bisection scheme for triangles are proved. For any triangle, the number of distinct triangles (up to similarity) generated by longest-edge bisection is finite. In addition, if LE-bisection is iteratively applied to an initial triangle, then minimum angle of the resulting triangles is greater or equal than a half of the minimum angle...

Proposition de préconditionneurs pseudo-différentiels pour l’équation CFIE de l’électromagnétisme

David P. Levadoux (2005)

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

We present a weak parametrix of the operator of the CFIE equation. An interesting feature of this parametrix is that it is compatible with different discretization strategies and hence allows for the construction of efficient preconditioners dedicated to the CFIE. Furthermore, one shows that the underlying operator of the CFIE verifies an uniform discrete Inf-Sup condition which allows to predict an original convergence result of the numerical solution of the CFIE to the exact one.
