A Symmetric Galerkin Boundary Element Method for Linear Poroelasticity

Non-conforming Galerkin finite element method for symmetric local absorbing boundary conditions

We propose a new solution methodology to incorporate symmetric local absorbing boundary conditions involving higher tangential derivatives into a finite element method for solving the 2D Helmholtz equations. The main feature of the method is that it does not requires the introduction of auxiliary variable nor the use of basis functions of higher regularity on the artificial boundary. The origin...

Adaptive Symmetric Interior Penalty Galerkin Method for Boundary Control Problems

We investigate an a posteriori error analysis of adaptive finite element approximations of linear-quadratic boundary optimal control problems under bilateral bound constraints, which act on a Neumann boundary condition. We use a symmetric interior penalty Galerkin (SIPG) method as discretization method. An efficient and reliable residual-type error estimator is introduced by invoking data oscil...

A Galerkin Boundary Node Method for Two-Dimensional Linear Elasticity

In this paper, a Galerkin boundary node method (GBNM) is developed for boundary-only analysis of 2D problems in linear elasticity. The GBNM combines the variational form of a boundary integral formulation for the elastic equations with the moving least-squares approximations for generating the trial and test functions. Unlike the boundary node method, the main idea here is to use the Galerkin s...

Multiplicative Schwarz Algorithms for the Galerkin Boundary Element Method

We study the multiplicative Schwarz method for the p-version Galerkin boundary element method for a hypersingular and a weakly singular integral equation of the rst kind and for the h-version for a hypersingular integral equation of the rst kind. We prove that the rate of convergence of the multiplicative Schwarz operator is strictly less than 1 for the h-version for both two level and multilev...
