چکیده

This paper deals with applications of the “Discrete-Duality Finite Volume” approach to a variety of elliptic problems. This is a new finite volume method, based on the derivation of discrete operators obeying a Discrete-Duality principle. An appropriate choice of the degrees of freedom allows one to use arbitrary meshes. We show that the method is naturally related to finite and mixed finite element methods. RÉSUMÉ. Cet article présente des applications de la méthode de “Dualité Discrète” à une variétés de problèmes elliptiques. Cette nouvelle méthode de volumes finis s’appuie d’une part sur la construction d’opérateurs discrets satisfaisant des propriétés de dualité discrète, et d’autre part sur un choix judicieux des degrés de liberté. Ceci permet de traiter des maillages arbitraires. Nous montrons la méthode est intimement liée aux méthodes d’éléments finis et d’éléments finis mixtes.

L Error Estimates and Superconvergence for Covolume or Finite Volume Element Methods

We consider convergence of the covolume or finite volume element solution to linear elliptic and parabolic problems. Error estimates and superconvergence results in the L norm, 2 p , are derived. We also show second-order convergence in the L norm between the covolume and the corresponding finite element solutions and between their gradients. The main tools used in this article are an extension...

Finite Volume Method for 2D Linear and Nonlinear Elliptic Problems with Discontinuities

In this paper we study the approximation of solutions to linear and nonlinear elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients in the Discrete Duality Finite Volume framework. This family of schemes allows very general meshes and inherits the main properties of the continuous problem. In order to take into account the discontinuities and to prevent consistency defect in the scheme, we propose ...

A Stable Mixed Finite Element Scheme for the Second Order Elliptic Problems

A stable mixed finite element method (MFEM) for the second order elliptic problems, in which the scheme just satisfies the discrete B.B condition, is discussed in this paper. The uniqueness and existence of solutions for the corresponding discrete problems are obtained, and the optimal O(h) order error estimates are derived.

A 2D/3D Discrete Duality Finite Volume Scheme. Application to ECG simulation

This paper presents a 2D/3D discrete duality finite volume method for solving heterogeneous and anisotropic elliptic equations on very general unstructured meshes. The scheme is based on the definition of discrete divergence and gradient operators that fulfill a duality property mimicking the Green formula. As a consequence, the discrete problem is proved to be well-posed, symmetric and positiv...

A 3D Discrete Duality Finite Volume Method for Nonlinear Elliptic Equations

Discrete Duality Finite Volume (DDFV) schemes have recently been developed in 2D to approximate nonlinear diffusion problems on general meshes. In this paper, a 3D extension of these schemes is proposed. The construction of this extension is detailed and its main properties are proved: a priori bounds, well-posedness and error estimates. The practical implementation of this scheme is easy. Nume...
