A general theory is given for discretized versions of the Galerkin method for solving Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The discretized Galerkin method is obtained from using numerical integration to evaluate the integrals occurring in the Galerkin method. The theoretical framework that is given parallels that of the regular Galerkin method, including the error analysis of the sup...

a new approach for analyzing cracked problems in 2d orthotropic materials using the well-known element free galerkin method and orthotropic enrichment functions is proposed. the element free galerkin method is a meshfree method which enables discontinuous problems to be modeled efficiently. in this study, element free galerkin is extrinsically enriched by the recently developed crack-tip orthot...

in this paper, the ritz-galerkin method in bernstein polynomial basis is applied for solving the nonlinear problem of the magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) flow of third grade fluid between the two plates. the properties of the bernstein  polynomials together with the ritz-galerkin method are used to reduce the solution of the mhd couette flow of non-newtonian fluid in a porous medium to the solution o...

We introduce a new and eecient Chebyshev-Legendre Galerkin method for elliptic problems. The new method is based on a Legendre-Galerkin formulation, but only the Chebyshev-Gauss-Lobatto points are used in the computation. Hence, it enjoys advantages of both the Legendre-Galerkin and Chebyshev-Galerkin methods.

In this article, we prove convergence of the weakly penalized adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods. Unlike other works, we derive the contraction property for various discontinuous Galerkin methods only assuming the stabilizing parameters are large enough to stabilize the method. A central idea in the analysis is to construct an auxiliary solution from the discontinuous Galerkin solution by ...

Proliferation of degrees-of-freedom has plagued discontinuous Galerkin methodology from its inception over 30 years ago. This paper develops a new computational formulation that combines the advantages of discontinuous Galerkin methods with the data structure of their continuous Galerkin counterparts. The new method uses local, element-wise problems to project a continuous finite element space ...

This paper presents the application of the Successive Galerkin Approximation (SGA) to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation to obtain solutions of the optimal attitude control problem. Galerkin's method approximates the value function by a truncated Galerkin series expansion. To do so a truncated Galerkin basis set is formed. A suucient number of functions must be included in this Galerkin basis...

In this paper, we consider sampling in a reproducing kernel subspace of L. We introduce a pre-reconstruction operator associated with a sampling scheme and propose a Galerkin reconstruction in general Banach space setting. We show that the proposed Galerkin method provides a quasi-optimal approximation, and the corresponding Galerkin equations could be solved by an iterative approximation-proje...

In this paper we provide estimates to the rate of convergence of the nonlinear Galerkin approximation method. In particular, and by means of an illustrative example, we show that the nonlinear Galerkin method converges faster than the usual Galerkin method.

A method is presented to accelerate numerical simulations on parabolic problems using a numerical code and a Galerkin system (obtained vía POD plus Galerkin projection) on a sequence of interspersed intervals. The lengths of these intervals are chosen according to several basic ideas that include an a priori estímate of the error of the Galerkin approximation. Several improvements are introduce...
