چکیده

We consider space-time continuous Galerkin methods with mesh modification in time for semilinear second order hyperbolic equations. We show a priori estimates in the energy norm without mesh conditions. Under reasonable assumptions on the choice of the spatial mesh in each time step we show optimal order convergence rates. Estimates of the jump in the Riesz projection in two successive time steps are also derived.

Coupling Nonlinear Element Free Galerkin and Linear Galerkin Finite Volume Solver for 2D Modeling of Local Plasticity in Structural Material

This paper introduces a computational strategy to collaboratively develop the Galerkin Finite Volume Method (GFVM) as one of the most straightforward and efficient explicit numerical methods to solve structural problems encountering material nonlinearity in a small limited area, while the remainder of the domain represents a linear elastic behavior. In this regard, the Element Free Galerkin met...

Galerkin Time-stepping Methods for Nonlinear Parabolic Equations

The interest for time Galerkin and corresponding space-time finite element methods has been linked during the last decade to the development of adaptivity of mesh selection for evolution PDE’s. Certain issues as, e.g., a posteriori estimates, estimates of optimal order and regularity, fully discrete schemes with mesh modification, etc., have been extensively considered in the framework of Conti...

Local Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Partial Differential Equations with Higher Order Derivatives

In this paper we review the existing and develop new local discontinuous Galerkin methods for solving time dependent partial differential equations with higher order derivatives in one and multiple space dimensions. We review local discontinuous Galerkin methods for convection diffusion equations involving second derivatives and for KdV type equations involving third derivatives. We then develo...

Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Approximation of Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman Equations with Cordes Coefficients | SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis | Vol. 52, No. 2 | Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

We propose an hp-version discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for fully nonlinear second-order elliptic Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations with Cordes coefficients. The method is proved to be consistent and stable, with convergence rates that are optimal with respect to mesh size, and suboptimal in the polynomial degree by only half an order. Numerical experiments on problems with nonsmo...
