Optimal order finite element approximation for a hyperbolic integro-differential equation
Semidiscrete finite element approximation of a hyperbolic type integro-differential equation is studied. The model problem is treated as the wave equation which is perturbed with a memory term. Stability estimates are obtained for a slightly more general problem. These, based on energy method, are used to prove optimal order a priori error estimates.
متن کاملA posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$-error estimates with the new version of streamline diffusion method for the wave equation
In this article, we study the new streamline diffusion finite element for treating the linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem. We prove a posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$ and error estimates for this method under minimal regularity hypothesis. Test problem of an application of the wave equation in the laser is presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the method.
متن کاملAnalysis of a mixed finite-volume discretization of fourth-order equations on general surfaces
In this paper, we study a finite-volume method for the numerical solution of a model fourth-order partial differential equation defined on a smooth surface. The discretization is done via a surface mesh consisting of piecewise planar triangles and its dual surface polygonal tessellation. We provide an error estimate for the approximate solution under the H1-norm on general regular meshes. Numer...
متن کاملA Posteriori Error Estimates for Finite Volume Approximations
We present new a posteriori error estimates for the finite volume approximations of elliptic problems. They are obtained by applying functional a posteriori error estimates to natural extensions of the approximate solution and its flux computed by the finite volume method. The estimates give guaranteed upper bounds for the errors in terms of the primal (energy) norm, dual norm (for fluxes), and...
متن کاملA posteriori error estimate for finite volume approximations of nonlinear heat equations
In this contribution we derive a posteriori error estimate for finite volume approximations of nonlinear convection diffusion equations in the L∞(L1)-norm. The problem is discretized implicitly in time by the method of characteristics, and in space by piecewise constant finite volume methods. The analysis is based on a reformulation for finite volume methods. The derived a posteriori error esti...
