متن کاملFinite Element Approximations of the Three Dimensional Monge-ampère Equation
In this paper, we construct and analyze finite element methods for the three dimensional Monge-Ampère equation. We derive methods using the Lagrange finite element space such that the resulting discrete linearizations are symmetric and stable. With this in hand, we then prove the wellposedness of the method, as well as derive quasi-optimal error estimates. We also present some numerical experim...
متن کاملMixed Finite Element Methods for the Fully Nonlinear Monge-Ampère Equation Based on the Vanishing Moment Method
This paper studies mixed finite element approximations of the viscosity solution to the Dirichlet problem for the fully nonlinear Monge–Ampère equation det(D2u0) = f (> 0) based on the vanishing moment method which was proposed recently by the authors in [X. Feng and M. Neilan, J. Scient. Comp., DOI 10.1007/s10915-008-9221-9, 2008]. In this approach, the second-order fully nonlinear Monge–Ampèr...
متن کاملNonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Bending of Straight Beams Using hp-Spectral Approximations
Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...
متن کاملAnalysis of High-order Approximations by Spectral Interpolation Applied to One- and Two-dimensional Finite Element Method
The implementation of high-order (spectral) approximations associated with FEM is an approach to overcome the difficulties encountered in the numerical analysis of complex problems. This paper proposes the use of the spectral finite element method, originally developed for computational fluid dynamics problems, to achieve improved solutions for these types of problems. Here, the interpolation n...
