Error Estimates for Mixed Finite Element Approximations of the Viscoelasticity Wave Equation

چکیده
This paper studies mixed finite element approximations to the solution of the viscoelasticity wave equation. Two new transformations are introduced and a corresponding system of first order differential-integral equations is derived. The semi-discrete and full-discrete mixed finite element methods are then proposed for the problem based on the Raviart-Thomas-Nedelec spaces. The optimal error estimates in norm are obtained for the semi-discrete and full-discrete mixed approximations of the general viscoelasticity wave equation.

Optimal 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.
متن کاملA posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$-error estimates with the new version of streamline diffusion method for the wave equation
In this article, we study the new streamline diffusion finite element for treating the linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem. We prove a posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$ and error estimates for this method under minimal regularity hypothesis. Test problem of an application of the wave equation in the laser is presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the method.
متن کاملA new positive definite semi-discrete mixed finite element solution for parabolic equations
In this paper, a positive definite semi-discrete mixed finite element method was presented for two-dimensional parabolic equations. In the new positive definite systems, the gradient equation and flux equations were separated from their scalar unknown equations. Also, the existence and uniqueness of the semi-discrete mixed finite element solutions were proven. Error estimates were also obtaine...
متن کاملA Posteriori Error Estimates for Mixed Finite Element Galerkin Approximations to Second Order Linear Hyperbolic Equations
In this article, a posteriori error analysis for mixed finite element Galerkin approximations of second order linear hyperbolic equations is discussed. Based on mixed elliptic reconstructions and an integration tool, which is a variation of Baker’s technique introduced earlier by G. Baker (SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 13 (1976), 564-576) in the context of a priori estimates for a second order wave equ...
متن کاملA Priori Error Estimates for Mixed Finite Element Approximations of the Acoustic Wave Equation
In this paper we derive optimal a priori L∞(L2) error estimates for mixed finite element displacement formulations of the acoustic wave equation. The computational complexity of this approach is equivalent to the traditional mixed finite element formulations of the second order hyperbolic equations in which the primary unknowns are pressure and the gradient of pressure. However, the displacemen...
