We consider a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the advection–reaction equation in two space–dimensions. For polynomial approximation spaces of degree greater than or equal to two on triangles we propose a method where stability is obtained by a penalization of only the upper portion of the polynomial spectrum of the jump of the solution over element edges. We prove stability in ...

We introduce a space-time discretization for linear first-order hyperbolic evolution systems using a discontinuous Galerkin approximation in space and a Petrov–Galerkin scheme in time. We show well-posedness and convergence of the discrete system. Then we introduce an adaptive strategy based on goal-oriented dual-weighted error estimation. The full space-time linear system is solved with a para...

Linear multistep methods are considered which have a stability region S and are D-stable on the whole boundary S c S of S. Error estimates are derived which hold uniformly for the class of initial value problems Y’ AY + B(t), t > 0, Y(0) Y with normal matrix A satisfying the spectral condition Sp(AtA) S At O time step, Sp(A) spectrum of A. Because of this property, the result can be applied to ...

An algorithm and essential subroutines programs are presented which implement two stage finite element Galerkin method for integrating the complete two dimensional horizontal flow model. In this method high accuracy is obtained by combining the Galerkin product with a high-order difference approximation to derivatives in the nonlinear advection operator. Program includes the use of a weighted s...

In this paper we study the stochastic Galerkin approximation for the linear transport equation with random inputs and diffusive scaling. We first establish uniform (in the Knudsen number) stability results in the random space for the transport equation with uncertain scattering coefficients and then prove the uniform spectral convergence (and consequently the sharp stochastic asymptotic-preserv...

In this paper, we extend to the time-harmonic Maxwell equations the p–version analysis technique developed in [R. Hiptmair, A. Moiola and I. Perugia, Plane wave discontinuous Galerkin methods for the 2D Helmholtz equation: analysis of the p-version, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 49 (2011), 264-284] for Trefftz-discontinuous Galerkin approximations of the Helmholtz problem. While error estimates in a me...

In this paper we propose a Galerkin based SPH formulation with moving least squares meshless approximation, applied to free surface flows. The Galerkin scheme provides a clear framework to analyze several procedures widely used in the classical SPH literature, suggesting that some of them should be reformulated in order to develop consistent algorithms. The performance of the methodology propos...

The development of numerical methods for solving the Helmholtz equation, which behaves robustly with respect to the wave number, is a topic of vivid research. It was observed that the solution of the Galerkin finite element method (FEM) differs significantly from the best approximation with increasing wave number. Many attempts have been presented in the literature to eliminate this lack of rob...

Recent engineering applications successfully introduced unsymmetric meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) schemes. As a step towards their mathematical analysis, this paper investigates nonstationary unsymmetric Petrov-Galerkin-type meshless kernel-based methods for the recovery of L2 functions from finitely many weak data. The results cover solvability conditions and error bounds in negative S...
