Analysis of a Robust Finite Element Approximation for a Parabolic Equation with Rough Boundary Data
نویسنده
چکیده
The approximation of parabolic equations with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary data by a numerical method that consists of finite elements for the space discretization and the backward Euler time discretization is studied. The boundary values are assumed in a least squares sense. It is shown that this method achieves an optimal rate of convergence for rough (only L1) boundary data and for smooth data as well. The results of numerical computations which confirm the robust theoretical error estimates are also presented.

متن کاملError Estimates for Discontinuous Galerkin Time-Stepping Schemes for Robin Boundary Control Problems Constrained to Parabolic PDEs
We consider fully discrete finite element approximations of a Robin optimal boundary control problem, constrained by linear parabolic PDEs with rough initial data. Conforming finite element methods for spatial discretization combined with discontinuous time-stepping Galerkin schemes are being used for the space-time discretization. Error estimates are proved under weak regularity hypotheses for...

This paper presents the results of a recent study about the following aspects relevant to tunneling in soft grounds:e) The domain of deformations due to tunneling in soft ground can be specified within a boundary of a parabolic shape. This boundary is defined by a parabolic formula as a function of a central angle which depends on the soil type i.e., either cohesive or cohesionless. This para...

متن کاملOptimal 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.
