Finite Volume Methods for Elliptic Pde’s: a New Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a new formulation for finite volume element methods, which is satisfied by known finite volume methods and it can be used to introduce new ones. This framework results by approximating the test function in the formulation of finite element method. We analyze piecewise linear conforming or nonconforming approximations on nonuniform triangulations and prove optimal order H1−norm and L2−norm error estimates.

Error Estimates for the Finite Volume Element Method for Elliptic Pde’s in Nonconvex Polygonal Domains
We consider standard finite volume piecewise linear approximations for second order elliptic boundary value problems on a nonconvex polygonal domain. Based on sharp shift estimates, we derive error estimations in H –, L2– and L∞–norm, taking into consideration the regularity of the data. Numerical experiments and counterexamples illustrate the theoretical results.

A class of generalized approximate inverse finite element matrix algorithmic methods for solving nonlinear parabolic and elliptic PDE’s, is presented. Fully parameterized singularly perturbed non-linear parabolic and elliptic PDE’s are considered and explicit preconditioned generalized conjugate gradient type schemes are presented for the efficient solution of the resulting nonlinear systems of...
متن کاملConvergence of the compact finite difference method for second-order elliptic equations
In this paper, we give a fourth-order compact finite difference scheme for the general forms of two point boundary value problems and two dimensional elliptic partial differential equations (PDE’s). By decomposing the coefficient matrix into a sum of several matrixes after we discretize the original problem, we can obtain a lower bound for the smallest eigenvalue of the coefficient matrix. Thus...
متن کاملGalerkin 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...
