in this paper, three dimensional (3d) static and dynamic analysis of thick plates based on the meshless local petrov-galerkin (mlpg) is presented. using the kinematics of a three-dimensional continuum, the local weak form of the equilibrium equations is derived. a weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a uni...

Superconvergence in the L2-norm for the Galerkin approximation of the integral equation Lu = f is studied, where I is a strongly elliptic pseudodifferential operator on a smooth, closed or open curve. Let Uf, be the Galerkin approximation to u . By using the ^-operator, an operator that averages the values of uh , we will construct a better approximation than uh itself. That better approximatio...

in this paper, we present a new computational technique for solving nonlinear fredholm integral equations of the second kind. this proposed method is based on galerkin method and is computationally very attractive. moreover, for reducing the operations in comparing similar works, we design our algorithm based on transformations of orthogonal polynomials in approximation coefficients calculating...

In this paper, the well known iterated Galerkin method and iterated Galerkin-Kantorovich regularization method for approximating the solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind are generalized to Hammerstein equations with smooth and weakly singular kernels. The order of convergence of the Galerkin method and those of superconvergence of the iterated methods are analyzed. Numeric...

In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of a class of nonlinear dissipative partial differential equations. By means of the Lyapunov-Perron method, we show that the equation has an inertial manifold, provided that certain gap condition in the spectrum of the linear part of the equation is satisfied. We verify that the constructed inertial manifold has the property of exponential tracking...

We provide a general abstract theory for the solvability and Galerkin approximation of nonlinear twofold saddle point problems. In particular, a Strang error estimate containing the consistency terms arising from the approximation of the continuous operators involved is deduced. Then we apply these results to analyse a fully discrete Galerkin scheme for a twofold saddle point formulation of a n...

We compare numerically the performance of a new continuous-discontinuous finite element method (CDFEM) for linear convection-diffusion equations with three well-known upwind finite element formulations, namely with the streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin finite element method, the residualfree bubble method and the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method. The defining feature of the CDFEM is...

A new approach to derive a finite element discretisation of PDE equations soley from observations is compared, in terms of approximation accuracy, with the standard finite element Galerkin approach which assumes knowledge of the governing PDE’s. It is shown both in theory and by means of an example that, for a given model order, the identified model is more accurate than the equivalent finite e...

Oh et al ([25]) introduced the reproducing polynomial particle (RPP) shape functions that are piecewise polynomial and satisfy the Kronecker delta property. In this paper, we introduce RPPM (Reproducing Polynomial Particle Methods) that is the Galerkin approximation method associated with the use of the RPP approximation space. Planting particles in the computation domain in a patchwise uniform...
