چکیده
In a previous paper the authors developed a new algorithm for finding discrete approximations to (possibly unstable) disc-like minimal surfaces. Optimal convergence rates in the H norm were obtained. Here we recall the key ideas and prove optimal L convergence rates.

L2-estimate for the discrete Plateau Problem
In this paper we prove the L2 convergence rates for a fully discrete finite element procedure for approximating minimal, possibly unstable, surfaces. Originally this problem was studied by G. Dziuk and J. Hutchinson. First they provided convergence rates in the H1 and L2 norms for the boundary integral method. Subsequently they obtained the H1 convergence estimates using a fully discrete finite...
متن کاملHigher-Order Finite Element Methods and Pointwise Error Estimates for Elliptic Problems on Surfaces
We define higher-order analogs to the piecewise linear surface finite element method studied in [Dz88] and prove error estimates in both pointwise and L2-based norms. Using the Laplace-Beltrami problem on an implicitly defined surface Γ as a model PDE, we define Lagrange finite element methods of arbitrary degree on polynomial approximations to Γ which likewise are of arbitrary degree. Then we ...
متن کاملL2-Error Estimates of the Extrapolated Crank-Nicolson Discontinuous Galerkin Approximations for Nonlinear Sobolev Equations
We analyze discontinuous Galerkin methods with penalty terms, namely, symmetric interior penalty Galerkin methods, to solve nonlinear Sobolev equations. We construct finite element spaces on which we develop fully discrete approximations using extrapolated Crank-Nicolson method. We adopt an appropriate elliptic-type projection, which leads to optimal ∞ L2 error estimates of discontinuous Galerk...

متن کاملAccurate Piecewise Linear Continuous Approximations to One-Dimensional Curves: Error Estimates and Algorithms
Local and global asymptotic L2 error estimates are derived for piecewise linear continuous approximations to smooth one-dimensional curves in R (n ≥ 1). Based on the estimates and an equidistribution strategy, an algorithm to construct a highly accurate piecewise linear approximation to a one-dimensional curve is devised with a special feature of achieving a desired L2 error. By its generality,...
