چکیده

We define a new finite element method for a steady state elliptic problem with discontinuous diffusion coefficients where the meshes are not aligned with the interface. We prove optimal error estimates in the L norm and H weighted semi-norm independent of the contrast between the coefficients. Numerical experiments validating our theoretical findings are provided.

On the Displacement-Stress Continuous Finite Elements

For the analysis of composite media, three different compatible and mixed finite element formulations are presented which apriori enforce the continuity of stresses as well as displacements at the element interfaces. The formulations are applied for the analysis of hi-material interfaces in two problems often encountered in the field of orthopaedic biomechanics, that is the fixation analysis in...

VARIATIONAL DISCRETIZATION AND MIXED METHODS FOR SEMILINEAR PARABOLIC OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH INTEGRAL CONSTRAINT

The aim of this work is to investigate the variational discretization and mixed finite element methods for optimal control problem governed by semi linear parabolic equations with integral constraint. The state and co-state are approximated by the lowest order Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is not discreted. Optimal error estimates in L2 are established for the state...

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.‎

65n12, 65n30 a New Multiscale Finite Element Method for High-contrast Elliptic Interface Problems

We introduce a new multiscale finite element method which is able to accurately capture solutions of elliptic interface problems with high contrast coefficients by using only coarse quasiuniform meshes, and without resolving the interfaces. A typical application would be the modelling of flow in a porous medium containing a number of inclusions of low (or high) permeability embedded in a matrix...

A 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.
