LEAST-SQUARES MIXED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR SADDLE-POINT PROBLEM

1. IntroductionThere are many work to investigate the stability of the mired finite element methodfor the saddle-point problems, i.e., to construct the finite element spaces, such that theso-called discrete BB-codition is satisfied (c.f.

Analysis of least-squares mixed finite element methods for nonlinear nonstationary convection-diffusion problems

Some least-squares mixed finite element methods for convection-diffusion problems, steady or nonstationary, are formulated, and convergence of these schemes is analyzed. The main results are that a new optimal a priori error estimate of a least-squares mixed finite element method for a steady convection-diffusion problem is developed and that four fully-discrete least-squares mixed finite element schemes for an initial-boundary value problem of a nonlinear nonstationary convection-diffusion equation are formulated. Also, some systematic theories on convergence of these schemes are established.

Numerical study of natural superconvergence in least-squares finite element methods for elliptic problems

Natural superconvergence of the least-squares finite element method is surveyed for the one-and two-dimensional Poisson equation. For two-dimensional problems, both the families of Lagrange elements and Raviart-Thomas elements have been considered on uniform triangular and rectangular meshes. Numerical experiments reveal that many superconvergence properties of the standard Galerkin method are preserved by the least-squares finite element method.

An adaptive LSMFE method for Burgers equations

An adaptive least-squares mixed finite element method for Burgers equations is proposed and analyzed. A posteriori error estimates are obtained that are used to adaptively improve the algorithm. The least-squares functional is locally computed and is used as an effectively calculated a posteriori error estimate. The article is published in the original.     

A coupling of nonconforming and mixed finite element methods for Biot's consolidation model

In this article, we develop a nonconforming mixed finite element method to solve Biot's consolidation model. In particular, this work has been motivated to overcome nonphysical oscillations in the pressure variable, which is known as locking in poroelasticity. The method is based on a coupling of a nonconforming finite element method for the displacement of the solid phase with a standard mixed finite element method for the pressure and velocity of the fluid phase. The discrete Korn's inequality has been achieved by adding a jump term to the discrete variational formulation. We prove a rigorous proof of a‐priori error estimates for both semidiscrete and fully‐discrete schemes. Optimal error estimates have been derived. In particular, optimality in the pressure, measured in different norms, has been proved for both cases when the constrained specific storage coefficient c₀ is strictly positive and when c₀ is nonnegative. Numerical results illustrate the accuracy of the method and also show the effectiveness of the method to overcome the nonphysical pressure oscillations. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A superconvergent $L^{\infty}$-error estimate of RT1 mixed methods for elliptic control problems with an integral constraint

In this paper, we investigate the superconvergence property of mixed finite element methods for a linear elliptic control problem with an integral constraint. The state and co-state are approximated by the order $k=1$ Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control variable is approximated by piecewise constant functions. A superconvergent approximation of the control variable $u$ will be constructed by a projection of the discrete adjoint state. It is proved that this approximation have convergence order $h^{2}$ in $L^{\infty}$-norm. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the theoretical results.

Superconvergence of the split least‐squares method for second‐order hyperbolic equations

This article studies superconvergence phenomena of the split least‐squares mixed finite element method for second‐order hyperbolic equations. By selecting the least‐squares functional properly, the procedure can be split into two independent symmetric positive definite subprocedures, one of which is for the primitive unknown and the other is for the flux. Based on interpolation operators and an auxiliary projection, superconvergent H¹ error estimates for the primary variable u and L² error estimates for the introduced flux variable σ are obtained under the standard quasiuniform assumptions on finite element partition. A numerical example is given to show the performance of the introduced scheme. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 30: 222‐238, 2014

On the use of physical spline finite element method for acoustic scattering

This paper presents the comparison of physical spline finite element method (PSFEM), in which differential equations are incorporated into interpolations of basic elements, with least-squares finite element method (LSFEM) and mixed Galerkin finite element method (MGFEM) on the numerical solution of one dimensional Helmholtz equation applied to an acoustic scattering problem. Firstly, all three methods are explained in detail and then it is shown that PSFEM reaches higher precision in a shorter time with fewer nodes than the other methods. It is also observed that this method is well suited for high frequency acoustic problems. Consequently, the results of PSFEM point out better efficiency in terms of number of unknowns and accuracy level.

An approximation of incompressible miscible displacement in porous media by mixed finite elements and symmetric finite volume element method of characteristics

A nonlinear system of two coupled partial differential equations models miscible displacement of one incompressible fluid by another in a porous medium. A sequential implicit time‐stepping procedure is defined, in which the pressure and Darcy velocity of the mixture are approximated by a mixed finite element method and the concentration is approximated by a combination of a modified symmetric finite volume element method and the method of characteristics. Optimal order convergence in H¹ and in L² are proved for full discrete schemes. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Postprocessing and higher order convergence for the mixed finite element approximations of the Stokes eigenvalue problems

In this paper we propose a method for improving the convergence rate of the mixed finite element approximations for the Stokes eigenvalue problem. It is based on a postprocessing strategy that consists of solving an additional Stokes source problem on an augmented mixed finite element space which can be constructed either by refining the mesh or by using the same mesh but increasing the order of the mixed finite element space.
