One-dimensional convection-diffusion problem with interior layers caused by the discontinuity of data is considered. Though standard Galerkin finite element method (FEM) generates oscillations in the numerical solutions, we prove its convergence in the ε-weighted norm of the first order on a class of layer-adapted meshes. We use streamline-diffusion finite element method (SDFEM) in order to sta...

In this paper, an alternating direction Galerkin finite element method is presented for solving 2D time fractional reaction sub-diffusion equation with nonlinear source term. Firstly, one order implicit-explicit method is used for time discretization, then Galerkin finite element method is adopted for spatial discretization and obtain a fully discrete linear system. Secondly, Galerkin alternati...

Numerical approximations are considered for a mathematical model for miscible displacement influenced by mobile and immobile water. A mixed finite element method is adopted to give a direct approximation of the velocity, the concentration in mobile water is approximated by an alternating direction Galerkin finite element method combined with the method of characteristics and the concentration i...

This paper is concerned with the numerical minimization of energy functionals in BV (Ω) (the space of bounded variation functions) involving total variation for gray-scale 1-dimensional inpainting problem. Applications are shown by finite element method and discontinuous Galerkin method for total variation minimization. We include the numerical examples which show the different recovery image b...

We give a new analysis of Petrov-Galerkin finite element methods for solving linear singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems without turning points. No use is made of finite difference methodology such as discrete maximum principles, nor of asymptotic expansions. On meshes which are either arbitrary or slightly restricted, we derive energy norm and L norm error bounds. These bound...

We study the dynamical behavior of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for initial value problems in ordinary differential equations. We make two different assumptions which guarantee that the continuous problem defines a dissipative dynamical system. We show that, under certain conditions, the discontinuous Galerkin approximation also defines a dissipative dynamical system and we ...

The fractional Fokker-Planck equation is often used to characterize anomalous diffusion. In this paper, a fully discrete approximation for the nonlinear spatial fractional Fokker-Planck equation is given, where the discontinuous Galerkin finite element approach is utilized in time domain and the Galerkin finite element approach is utilized in spatial domain. The priori error estimate is derived...

A novel nonlinear formulation of finite element and Galerkin methods is presented here, which leads to the Hadamard product expression of the resultant nonlinear algebraic analogue. The presented formulation attains the advantages of weak formulation in the standard finite element and Galerkin schemes and avoids the costly repeated numerical integration of the Jacobian matrix via the recently d...

We present equilibrated flux a posteriori error estimates in a unified setting for conforming, nonconforming, discontinuous Galerkin, and mixed finite element discretizations of the two-dimensional Poisson problem. Relying on the equilibration by the mixed finite element solution of patchwise Neumann problems, the estimates are guaranteed, locally computable, locally efficient, and robust with ...
