The current work concerns the study and the implementation of a modern algorithm for error estimation in CFD computations. This estimate involves the dealing of the adjoint argument. By solving the adjoint problem, it is possible to obtain important information about the transport of the error towards the quantity of interest. The aim is to apply for the first time this procedure into Petrov-Ga...

We summarize several techniques of analysis for finite element methods for linear hyperbolic problems, illustrating their key properties on the simplest model problem. These include the discontinuous Galerkin method, the continuous Galerkin methods on rectangles and triangles, and a nonconforming linear finite element on a special triangular mesh.

In this note we present a new numerical method for solving Lattice Quantum Field Theory. This Source Galerkin Method is fundamentally different in concept and application from Monte Carlo based methods which have been the primary mode of numerical solution in Quantum Field Theory. Source Galerkin is not probabilistic and treats fermions and bosons in an equivalent manner.

Spatial Galerkin projection transfers fields between different meshes. In the area of finite element analysis of electromagnetic fields, it provides great convenience for remeshing, multi-physics, domain decomposition methods, etc. In this paper, a space-time Galerkin projection is developed in order to transfer fields between different spatial and temporal discretization bases.

Abstract. We present a discontinuous Galerkin scheme for the numerical approximation of the onedimensional periodic Vlasov-Poisson equation. The scheme is based on a Galerkin-characteristics method in which the distribution function is projected onto a space of discontinuous functions. We present comparisons with a semi-Lagrangian method to emphasize the good behavior of this scheme when applie...

The relative merits of the wavelet-Galerkin solution of hyperbolic partial diieren-tial equations, typical of geophysical problems, are quantitatively and qualitatively compared to traditional nite diierence and Fourier-pseudo-spectral methods. The wavelet-Galerkin solution presented here is found to be a viable alternative to the two conventional techniques.

Superconvergence phenomena are demonstrated for Galerkin approximations of solutions of second order parabolic and hyperbolic problems in a single space variable. An asymptotic expansion of the Galerkin solution is used to derive these results and, in addition, to show optimal order error estimates in Sobolev spaces of negative index in multiple dimensions.

In this paper a theoretical framework for the Galerkin finite element approximation to the steady state fractional advection dispersion equation is presented. Appropriate fractional derivative spaces are defined and shown to be equivalent to the usual fractional dimension Sobolev spaces H. Existence and uniqueness results are proven, and error estimates for the Galerkin approximation derived. N...

In this paper, we analyze implicit-explicit (IMEX) Runge-Kutta (RK) time discretization methods for solving linear convection-diffusion equations. The diffusion operator is treated implicitly via the embedded discontinuous Galerkin (EDG) method and the convection operator explicitly via the upwinding discontinuous Galerkin method.
