Über die punktweise Konvergenz Finiter Elemente. - On the Pointwise Convergence of Finite Elements.
In this note we study the periodic homogenization problem for a particular bidimensional selfadjoint elliptic operator of the second order. Theoretical and numerical considerations allow us to conjecture explicit formulae for the coefficients of the homogenized operator.
The paper concerns the solution of partial differential equations of evolution type by the finite difference method. The author discusses the general assumptions on the original equation as well as its discretization, which guarantee that the difference scheme is unconditionally stable, i.e. stable without any stability condition for the time-step. A new notion of the -acceptability of the integration formula is introduced and examples of such formulas are given. The results can be applied to ordinary...
In this paper, we consider second order neutrons diffusion problem with coefficients in L∞(Ω). Nodal method of the lowest order is applied to approximate the problem's solution. The approximation uses special basis functions [1] in which the coefficients appear. The rate of convergence obtained is O(h2) in L2(Ω), with a free rectangular triangulation.
We introduce and study various discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element approximations for a parabolic variational inequality associated with a general obstacle problem in
For the efficient numerical solution of indefinite linear systems arising from curl conforming edge element approximations of the time-harmonic Maxwell equation, we consider local multigrid methods (LMM) on adaptively refined meshes. The edge element discretization is done by the lowest order edge elements of Nédélec’s first family. The LMM features local hybrid Hiptmair smoothers of Jacobi and Gauss–Seidel type which are performed only on basis functions associated with newly created edges/nodal...
