This paper presents a stabilization technique for approximating transport equations. The key idea consists in introducing an artificial diffusion based on a two-level decomposition of the approximation space. The technique is proved to have stability and convergence properties that are similar to that of the streamline diffusion method.
In this paper, we analyze a class of stabilized finite element formulations used in computation of (i) second order elliptic boundary value problems (diffusion-convection-reaction model) and (ii) the Navier-Stokes problem (incompressible flow model). These stabilization techniques prevent numerical instabilities that might be generated by dominant convection/reaction terms in (i), (ii) or by inappropriate combinations of velocity/pressure interpolation functions in (ii). Stability and convergence...
We prove the existence of solution in the class H²(Ω) × H¹(Ω) to the steady compressible Oseen system with slip boundary conditions in a two dimensional, convex domain with boundary of class . The method is to regularize a weak solution obtained via the Galerkin method. The problem of regularization is reduced to the problem of solvability of a certain transport equation by application of the Helmholtz decomposition. The method works under an additional assumption on the geometry of the boundary....
The numerical modeling of the fully developed Poiseuille flow of a newtonian fluid in a square section with slip yield boundary condition at the wall is presented. The stick regions in outer corners and the slip region in the center of the pipe faces are exhibited. Numerical computations cover the complete range of the dimensionless number describing the slip yield effect, from a full slip to a full stick flow regime. The resolution of variational inequalities describing the flow is based on the...

Strong convergence estimates for pseudospectral methods applied to ordinary boundary value problems are derived. The results are also used for a convergence analysis of the Schwarz algorithm (a special domain decomposition technique). Different types of nodes (Chebyshev, Legendre nodes) are examined and compared.
We give a constructive proof that for any bounded domain of the class there exists a strongly regular family of boundary-fitted tetrahedral meshes. We adopt a refinement technique introduced by Křížek and modify it so that a refined mesh is again boundary-fitted. An alternative regularity criterion based on similarity with the Sommerville tetrahedron is used and shown to be equivalent to other standard criteria. The sequence of regularities during the refinement process is estimated from below...
A method for the second-order approximation of the values of partial derivatives of an arbitrary smooth function in the vertices of a conformal and nonobtuse regular triangulation consisting of triangles and convex quadrilaterals is described and its accuracy is illustrated numerically. The method assumes that the interpolant in the finite element space of the linear triangular and bilinear quadrilateral finite elements from is known only.
In this paper, we discuss the numerical simulation for a class of constrained optimal control problems governed by integral equations. The Galerkin method is used for the approximation of the problem. A priori error estimates and a superconvergence analysis for the approximation scheme are presented. Based on the results of the superconvergence analysis, a recovery type a posteriori error estimator is provided, which can be used for adaptive mesh refinement.
