چکیده
We survey work on stability and smoothing estimates in maximum-norm for spatially semidiscrete finite element approximations of a model parabolic equation, and related such estimates for the resolvent of the corresponding discrete elliptic operator. We end with a short discussion of stability of fully discrete time stepping methods. Résumé. Nous présentons un bilan des résultats sur la stabilité et les effets régularisants, vus en norme du maximum, lors de la semi-discrétisation éléments finis d’un problème parabolique modèle. Nous montrons le lien avec les estimations de résolvante pour l’opérateur elliptique approché correspondant. Nous concluons par une considération rapide de la discrétisation totale.

Long Time Behavior of Backward Difference Type Methods for Parabolic Equations with Memory in Banach Space
We show stability in a Banach space framework of backward Euler and second order backward diierence timestepping methods for a parabolic equation with memory. The results are applied to derive maximum norm stability estimates for piecewise linear nite element approximations in a plane spatial domain, which is accomplished by a new resolvent estimate for the discrete Laplacian. Error estimates a...
متن کاملMaximum-norm Resolvent Estimates for Elliptic Finite Element Operators on Nonquasiuniform Triangulations
In recent years several papers have been devoted to stability and smoothing properties in maximum-norm of finite element discretizations of parabolic problems. Using the theory of analytic semigroups it has been possible to rephrase such properties as bounds for the resolvent of the associated discrete elliptic operator. In all these cases the triangulations of the spatial domain has been assum...
متن کاملResolvent estimates of elliptic differential and finite-element operators in pairs of function spaces
We present some resolvent estimates of elliptic differential and finite-element operators in pairs of function spaces, for which the first space in a pair is endowed with stronger norm. In this work we deal with estimates in (Lebesgue, Lebesgue), (Hölder, Lebesgue), and (Hölder, Hölder) pairs of norms. In particular, our results are useful for the stability and error analysis of semidiscrete an...
متن کاملA new positive definite semi-discrete mixed finite element solution for parabolic equations
In this paper, a positive definite semi-discrete mixed finite element method was presented for two-dimensional parabolic equations. In the new positive definite systems, the gradient equation and flux equations were separated from their scalar unknown equations. Also, the existence and uniqueness of the semi-discrete mixed finite element solutions were proven. Error estimates were also obtaine...

Abstract. We derive a posteriori error estimates in the L∞((0, T ];L∞(Ω)) norm for approximations of solutions to linear parabolic equations. Using the elliptic reconstruction technique introduced by Makridakis and Nochetto and heat kernel estimates for linear parabolic problems, we first prove a posteriori bounds in the maximum norm for semidiscrete finite element approximations. We then estab...
