In this paper, a fully discrete stabilized discontinuous Galerkin method is proposed to solve the Biot's consolidation problem. The existence and uniqueness of the finite element solution are obtained. The stability of the fully discrete solution is discussed. The corresponding error estimates for the approximation of displacement and pressure in a mesh dependent norm are obtained. The error es...

We analyze discontinuous Galerkin methods with penalty terms, namely, symmetric interior penalty Galerkin methods, to solve nonlinear Sobolev equations. We construct finite element spaces on which we develop fully discrete approximations using extrapolated Crank-Nicolson method. We adopt an appropriate elliptic-type projection, which leads to optimal ∞ L2 error estimates of discontinuous Galerk...

This paper presents a new numerical method for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations governing the flow of an ideal isentropic gas. To approximate the continuity equation, the method utilizes a discontinuous Galerkin discretization on piecewise constants and a basic upwind flux. For the momentum equation, the method is a new combined discontinuous Galerkin and finite element method approxima...

Stochastic Galerkin finite element discretisations of PDEs with stochastically nonlinear coefficients lead to linear systems of equations with block dense matrices. In contrast, stochastic Galerkin finite element discretisations of PDEs with stochastically linear coefficients lead to linear systems of equations with block sparse matrices which are cheaper to manipulate and precondition in the f...

Relaxed one-sided Lipschitz conditions play an important role when analyzing ordinary differential inclusions. They allow to derive a-priori estimates of solutions and convergence estimates for explicit and implicit time discretizations. In this paper we consider Galerkin finite element discretizations of semilinear elliptic inclusions that satisfy a relaxed one-sided Lipschitz condition. It is...
