ERROR ANALYSIS OF NONLINEAR GALERKIN METHODS FOR KURAMOTO-SIVASHINSKY EQUATIONS

Nonlinear Galerkin methods are new schemes for integrating dissipative systems:In the present paper, we obtain the estimates to the rate of convergence of such methods for Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equations. In particular, by an illustrative example, we show that nonlinear Galerkin methods converge faster than the usual Galerkin method.     

AD GALERKIN ANALYSIS FOR NONLINEAR PSEUDO—HYPERBOLIC EQUATIONS

AD(Alternating direction)Galerkin schemes for d-dimensional nonlinear pseudo-hyperbolic equations are studied.By using patch approximation technique,AD procedure is realized,and calculation,work is simplified.By using Galerkin approach,highly computational accuracy is kept.By using various priori estimate techniques for differential equations,difficulty coming form non-linearity is treated,and optimal H^1 and L^2 convergence prop-erties are demonstrated.Moreover,although all the existed AD Galerkin schemes using patch approximation are limited to have only one order accuracy in time increment,yet the schemes formulated in this paper have second order accuracy in it.This implies an essential advancement in AD Galerkin aualysis.

And the result is established by employing the Ito-type inequality and the extension of the Bihari's inequality.     

GLOBAL EXISTENCE FOR A CLASS OF SYSTEMSOF NONLINEAR WAVE EQUATIONS INTHREE SPACE DIMENSIONS

Consider a system of nonlinear wave equationsfor i = 1, … , m, where F, (i = 1, … , m) are smooth functions of degree 2 near the origin of their arguments, and u = (u1, … ,um), while u and x u represent the first and second derivatives of u, respectively.

For example, global existence of small solutions for arbitrary cubic terms,arbitrary cubic termswill be established, provided that c12 ≠ c22.

Non-separable splines and numerical computation of evolution equations by the Galerkin methods

We construct new non-separable splines and we apply the spline sampling approximation to the computation of numerical solutions of evolution equations. The non-separable splines are basis functions which give a fine sampling approximation which enables us to compute numerical solutions by means of the method of lines combined with the Galerkin method. To demonstrate our approach we compute numerical solutions of the Burgers equation and the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation.     

On error estimates of some higher order projection and penalty-projection methods for Navier-Stokes equations

Summary This paper is a continuation of our previous work [10] on projection methods. We study first existing higher order projection schemes in the semidiscretized form for the Navier-Stokes equations. One error analysis suggests that the precision of these schemes is most likely plagued by the inconsistent Neumann boundary condition satisfied by the pressure approximations. We then propose a penalty-projection scheme for which we obtain improved error estimates.This work is partially supported by NSF grant MS-8802596.     

Operator-splitting methods in respect of eigenvalue problems for nonlinear equations and applications for Burgers equations

In this article we consider iterative operator-splitting methods for nonlinear differential equations with respect to their eigenvalues. The main focus of the proposed idea is the fixed-point iterative scheme that linearizes our underlying equations. On the basis of the approximated eigenvalues of such linearized systems we choose the order of the operators for our iterative splitting scheme. The convergence properties of such a mixed method are studied and demonstrated. We confirm with numerical applications the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in comparison with the standard operator-splitting methods by providing improved results and convergence rates. We apply our results to deposition processes.     

A wavelet collocation method for evolution equations with energy conservation property

We describe a wavelet collocation method of computing numerical solutions to evolution equations that inherit energy conservation law. This method is based on the wavelet sampling approximation with Coifman scaling systems combined with the generalized energy integrals. In this paper, we shall focus on the theoretical background of our approach.     

Numerical analysis of nonlinear multiharmonic eddy current problems

Summary This work is devoted to non-linear eddy current problems and their numerical treatment by the so-called multiharmonic approach. Since the sources are usually alternating currents, we propose a truncated Fourier series expansion instead of a costly time-stepping scheme. Moreover, we suggest to introduce some regularization parameter that ensures unique solvability not only in the factor space of divergence-free functions, but also in the whole space H(curl). Finally, we provide a rigorous estimate for the total error that is due to the use of truncated Fourier series, the regularization technique and the spatial finite element discretization.This work has been supported by the Austrian Science Fund Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung (FWF) under the grants SFB F013, P 14953 and START Y192.     

High-order finite element methods for time-fractional partial differential equations

The aim of this paper is to develop high-order methods for solving time-fractional partial differential equations. The proposed high-order method is based on high-order finite element method for space and finite difference method for time. Optimal convergence rate O((Δt)^2−α+N^−r) is proved for the (r−1)th-order finite element method (r≥2).     

A fourth-order numerical method for the planetary geostrophic equations with inviscid geostrophic balance

The planetary geostrophic equations with inviscid balance equation are reformulated in an alternate form, and a fourth-order finite difference numerical method of solution is proposed and analyzed in this article. In the reformulation, there is only one prognostic equation for the temperature field and the velocity field is statically determined by the planetary geostrophic balance combined with the incompressibility condition. The key observation is that all the velocity profiles can be explicitly determined by the temperature gradient, by utilizing the special form of the Coriolis parameter. This brings convenience and efficiency in the numerical study. In the fourth-order scheme, the temperature is dynamically updated at the regular numerical grid by long-stencil approximation, along with a one-sided extrapolation near the boundary. The velocity variables are recovered by special solvers on the 3-D staggered grid. Furthermore, it is shown that the numerical velocity field is divergence-free at the discrete level in a suitable sense. Fourth order convergence is proven under mild regularity requirements. R.

Convergence and stability of finite element nonlinear Galerkin method for the Navier-Stokes equations

In this article, we present a new fully discrete finite element nonlinear Galerkin method, which are well suited to the long time integration of the Navier-Stokes equations. Spatial discretization is based on two-grid finite element technique; time discretization is based on Euler explicit scheme with variable time step size. Moreover, we analyse the boundedness, convergence and stability condition of the finite element nonlinear Galerkin method. Our discussion shows that the time step constraints of the method depend only on the coarse grid parameter and the time step constraints of the finite element Galerkin method depend on the fine grid parameter under the same convergence accuracy.

Fractional evolution Dirac-like equations: Some properties and a discrete Von Neumann-type analysis

A system of fractional evolution equations results from employing the tool of the Fractional Calculus and following the method used by Dirac to obtain his well-known equation from Klein–Gordon’s one. It represents a possible interpolation between Dirac and diffusion and wave equations in one space dimension.     

Two-grid methods for finite volume element approximations of nonlinear parabolic equations

Two-grid methods are studied for solving a two dimensional nonlinear parabolic equation using finite volume element method. The methods are based on one coarse-grid space and one fine-grid space. The nonsymmetric and nonlinear iterations are only executed on the coarse grid and the fine-grid solution can be obtained in a single symmetric and linear step. It is proved that the coarse grid can be much coarser than the fine grid. The two-grid methods achieve asymptotically optimal approximation as long as the mesh sizes satisfy h=O(H³|lnH|)$h=O\left(H^3|lnH|\right)$. As a result, solving such a large class of nonlinear parabolic equations will not be much more difficult than solving one single linearized equation.
