In this paper, we consider the issue of convergence toward entropy solutions for high order finite volume weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme and discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method approximating scalar nonconvex conservation laws. Although such high order nonlinearly stable schemes can usually converge to entropy solutions of convex conservation laws, convergence m...

The convergence of the discontinuous Galerkin method for the nonlinear (cubic) Schrödinger equation is analyzed in this paper. We show the existence of the resulting approximations and prove optimal order error estimates in L∞(L2). These estimates are valid under weak restrictions on the space-time mesh.

A new nonlinear Petrov-Galerkin approach has been developed for Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) Reduced Order Modelling (ROM) of the Navier-Stokes equations. The new method is based on the use of the cosine rule between the advection direction in Cartesian space-time and the direction of the gradient of the solution. A finite element pair, P1DGP2, which has good balance preserving propert...

A least-squares formulation of the Moving Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method with Interface Condition Enforcement (LS-MDG-ICE) is presented. This method combines MDG-ICE, which uses a weak that separately enforces conservation law and corresponding interface condition treats discrete geometry as variable, Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) methodology Demkowicz Gopalakrishnan to systematically gen...

This paper proposes and analyzes a class of robust globally divergence-free weak Galerkin (WG) finite element methods for Stokes equations. The new methods use the Pk/Pk−1 (k ≥ 1) discontinuous finite element combination for velocity and pressure in the interior of elements, and piecewise Pl/Pk (l = k − 1, k) for the trace approximations of the velocity and pressure on the inter-element boundar...

free vibration of sandwich plates with temperature dependent functionally graded (fg) face sheets in various thermal environments is investigated. the material properties of fg face sheets are assumed to be temperature-dependent and vary continuously through the thickness according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. also, the material properties of...

This work analyzes the overall computational complexity of the stochastic Galerkin finite element method (SGFEM) for approximating the solution of parameterized elliptic partial differential equations with both affine and non-affine random coefficients. To compute the fully discrete solution, such approaches employ a Galerkin projection in both the deterministic and stochastic domains, produced...

The diffuse element method developed by Nayroles et al. is a new way for solving partial differential equations. In this method, only a mesh of nodes and a boundary description is needed to develop the Galerkin equations. The approximating functions are polynomials fitted to the nodal values of each local domain by a weighted least squares approximation. Belytschko et al. developed an alternati...

A meshless approach to the analysis of arbitrary Kirchhoff plates by the Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method is presented. The method is based on moving least squares approximant. The method is meshless, which means that the discretization is independent of the geometric subdivision into “finite elements”. The satisfaction of the C1 continuity requirements are easily met by EFG since it requires...
