چکیده

This paper presents an optimal nonconforming adaptive finite element algorithm and proves its quasi-optimal complexity for the Stokes equations with respect to natural approximation classes. The proof does not explicitly involve the pressure variable and follows from a novel discrete Helmholtz decomposition of deviatoric functions.

AN ADAPTIVE WAVELET SOLUTION TO GENERALIZED STOKES PROBLEM

In this paper we will present an adaptive wavelet scheme to solvethe generalized Stokes problem. Using divergence free wavelets, theproblem is transformed into an equivalent matrix vector system, thatleads to a positive definite system of reduced size for thevelocity. This system is solved iteratively, where the applicationof the infinite stiffness matrix, that is sufficiently compressible,is r...

Computational Survey on A Posteriori Error Estimators for the Crouzeix-Raviart Nonconforming Finite Element Method for the Stokes Problem

This survey compares different strategies for guaranteed error control for the lowest-order nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart finite element method for the Stokes equations. The upper error bound involves the minimal distance of the computed piecewise gradient DNC uCR to the gradients of Sobolev functions with exact boundary conditions. Several improved suggestions for the cheap computation of suc...

Adaptive Finite Element Algorithms for the Stokes Problem: Convergence Rates and Optimal Computational Complexity

Although adaptive finite element methods (FEMs) are recognized as powerful techniques for solving mixed variational problems of fluid mechanics, usually they are not even proven to converge. Only recently, in [SINUM, 40 (2002), pp.1207-1229] Bänsch, Morin and Nochetto introduced an adaptive Uzawa FEM for solving the Stokes problem, and showed its convergence. In their paper, numerical experimen...

Adaptive Nonconforming Finite Element Approximation of Eigenvalue Clusters

This paper analyses an adaptive nonconforming finite element method for eigenvalue clusters of self-adjoint operators and proves optimal convergence rates (with respect to the concept of nonlinear approximation classes) for the approximation of the invariant subspace spanned by the eigenfunctions of the eigenvalue cluster. Applications include eigenvalues of the Laplacian and of the Stokes system.
