We focus here on a class of fourth-order parabolic equations that can be written as system second-order by introducing an auxiliary variable. design novel fully discrete mixed finite element method to approximate these equations. In our approach, we propose new techniques using the backward differentiation formula for time derivative and special technique approximation nonlinear terms. The use ...

In the present paper we consider a 1D Poisson model characterized by the presence of an interface, where a transmission condition arises due to jumps of the coefficients. We aim at studying finite element methods with meshes not fitting such an interface. It is well known that when the mesh does not fit the material discontinuities the resulting scheme provides in general lower order accurate s...

for the nonlinear analysis of structures using the well known newton-raphson method, the tangent stiffness matrices of the elements must be constructed in each iteration. due to the high expense required to find the exact tangent stiffness matrices, researchers have developed novel innovations into the newton-raphson method to reduce the cost and time required by the analysis. in this paper, a ...

The 3D Laplace equation is one of the important PDEs of physics and describes the phenomonology of electrostatics and magnetostatics. Frequently very precise solution of this PDE is required; but with conventional finite element or finite difference codes this is difficult to achieve because of the need for an exceedingly fine mesh which leads to often prohibitive CPU time. We present an altern...

The paper is concerned with the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the numerical solution of nonlinear conservation laws and nonlinear convection-diffusion problems with emphasis on applications to the simulation of compressible flows. We discuss two versions of this method: (a) Finite volume discontinuous Galerkin method, which is a generalization of the combined finite volume—fi...
