Nonlinear Elliptic Problems with the Method of Finite Volumes
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a finite volume discretization of the nonlinear elliptic problems. The discretization results in a nonlinear algebraic system of equations. A Newton-Krylov algorithm is also presented for solving the system of nonlinear algebraic equations. Numerically solving nonlinear partial differential equations consists of discretizing the nonlinear partial differential equation and then solving the formed nonlinear system of equations. We demonstrate the convergence of the discretization scheme and also the convergence of the Newton solver through a variety of practical numerical examples.

متن کاملA Local Strong form Meshless Method for Solving 2D time-Dependent Schrödinger Equations
This paper deals with the numerical solutions of the 2D time dependent Schr¨odinger equations by using a local strong form meshless method. The time variable is discretized by a finite difference scheme. Then, in the resultant elliptic type PDEs, special variable is discretized with a local radial basis function (RBF) methods for which the PDE operator is also imposed in the local matrices. Des...
متن کاملError estimates for finite element approximations of nonlinear monotone elliptic problems with application to numerical homogenization
We consider a finite element method (FEM) with arbitrary polynomial degree for nonlinear monotone elliptic problems. Using a linear elliptic projection, we first give a new short proof of the optimal convergence rate of the FEM in the L norm. We then derive optimal a priori error estimates in the H and L norm for a FEM with variational crimes due to numerical integration. As an application we d...
متن کاملA numerical method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations based on Sinc-Galerkin method
In this paper, we consider two dimensional nonlinear elliptic equations of the form $ -{rm div}(a(u,nabla u)) = f $. Then, in order to solve these equations on rectangular domains, we propose a numerical method based on Sinc-Galerkin method. Finally, the presented method is tested on some examples. Numerical results show the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method.
متن کاملChebyshev finite difference method for a two−point boundary value problems with applications to chemical reactor theory
In this paper, a Chebyshev finite difference method has been proposed in order to solve nonlinear two-point boundary value problems for second order nonlinear differential equations. A problem arising from chemical reactor theory is then considered. The approach consists of reducing the problem to a set of algebraic equations. This method can be regarded as a non-uniform finite difference schem...
