A New Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Parabolic Equations with Discontinuous Coefficient

In this paper, a new discontinuous Galerkin method is developed for the parabolic equation with jump coefficients satisfying the continuous flow condition. Theoretical analysis shows that this method is $L^2$ stable. When the finite element space consists of interpolative polynomials of degrees $k$, the convergent rate of the semi-discrete discontinuous Galerkin scheme has an order of$\mathcal{O}(h^k)$. Numerical examples for both 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional problems demonstrate the validity of the new method.     

Error Estimates for Semi-Discrete and Fully Discrete Galerkin Finite Element Approximations of the General Linear Second-Order Hyperbolic Equation

In this article, we derive error estimates for the semi-discrete and fully discrete Galerkin approximations of a general linear second-order hyperbolic partial differential equation with general damping (which includes boundary damping). The results can be applied to a variety of cases (e.g. vibrating systems of linked elastic bodies). The results generalize pioneering work of Dupont and complement a recent article by Basson and Van Rensburg.     

Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Solving a Frictional Contact Problem with Normal Compliance

Abstract

Several discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods are introduced for solving a frictional contact problem with normal compliance, which is modeled as a quasi-variational inequality. Consistency, boundedness, and stability are established for the DG methods. Two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the performance of the DG methods.     

A-Posteriori Error Estimation for the Legendre Spectral Galerkin Method in One-Dimension

<正>In this paper,a-posteriori error estimators are proposed for the Legendre spectral Galerkin method for two-point boundary value problems.The key idea is to postprocess the Galerkin approximation,and the analysis shows that the postprocess improves the order of convergence.Consequently,we obtain asymptotically exact aposteriori error estimators based on the postprocessing results.Numerical examples are included to illustrate the theoretical analysis.     

Discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximation of quasilinear elliptic boundary value problems I: the scalar case

^** Email: Paul.Houston{at}mcs.le.ac.uk^*** Email: Janice.Robson{at}comlab.ox.ac.uk^**** Email: Endre.Suli{at}comlab.ox.ac.uk We develop a one-parameter family of hp-version discontinuousGalerkin finite element methods, parameterised by [–1,1], for the numerical solution of quasilinear elliptic equationsin divergence form on a bounded open set ^d, d 2. In particular,we consider the analysis of the family for the equation –·{µ(x, |u|)u} = f(x) subject to mixed Dirichlet–Neumannboundary conditions on . It is assumed that µ is a real-valuedfunction, µ C( x [0, )), and thereexist positive constants m_µ and M_µ such that m_µ(t– s) µ(x, t)t – µ(x, s)s M_µ(t– s) for t s 0 and all x . Using a result from the theory of monotone operators for any valueof [–1, 1], the corresponding method is shown to havea unique solution u_DG in the finite element space. If u C¹() H^k(), k 2, then with discontinuous piecewise polynomials ofdegree p 1, the error between u and u_DG, measured in the brokenH¹()-norm, is (h^s–1/p^k–3/2), where 1 s min {p+ 1, k}.     

An $h$-Adaptive Runge-Kutta Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Hamilton-Jacobi Equations

In [35, 36], we presented an $h$-adaptive Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin method using troubled-cell indicators for solving hyperbolic conservation laws. A tree data structure (binary tree in one dimension and quadtree in two dimensions) is used to aid storage and neighbor finding. Mesh adaptation is achieved by refining the troubled cells and coarsening the untroubled "children". Extensive numerical tests indicate that the proposed $h$-adaptive method is capable of saving the computational cost and enhancing the resolution near the discontinuities. In this paper, we apply this $h$-adaptive method to solve Hamilton-Jacobi equations, with an objective of enhancing the resolution near the discontinuities of the solution derivatives. One- and two-dimensional numerical examples are shown to illustrate the capability of the method.     

An Error Analysis of Discontinuous Finite Element Methods for the Optimal Control Problems Governed by Stokes Equation

In this article, an abstract framework for the error analysis of discontinuous finite element method is developed for the distributed and Neumann boundary control problems governed by the stationary Stokes equation with control constraints. A priori error estimates of optimal order are derived for velocity and pressure in the energy norm and the L²-norm, respectively. Moreover, a reliable and efficient a posteriori error estimator is derived. The results are applicable to a variety of problems just under the minimal regularity possessed by the well-posedness of the problem. In particular, we consider the abstract results with suitable stable pairs of velocity and pressure spaces like as the lowest-order Crouzeix–Raviart finite element and piecewise constant spaces, piecewise linear and constant finite element spaces. The theoretical results are illustrated by the numerical experiments.     

Error Estimation for Nordsieck Methods

The local discretization errors of general linear methods depend on the sequence of all stepsize ratios and the derivation of the exact formulas for the corresponding error estimates does not seem to be practical. In this paper we will describe an approach in which the estimates of local discretization errors are evaluated numerically as the computation proceeds from step to step.

^** Email: paul.houston{at}nottingham.ac.uk^*** Corresponding author. Email: ilaria.perugia{at}unipv.it^**** Email: schoetzau{at}math.ubc.ca We introduce a residual-based a posteriori error indicator fordiscontinuous Galerkin discretizations of H(curl; )-ellipticboundary value problems that arise in eddy current models. Weshow that the indicator is both reliable and efficient withrespect to the approximation error measured in terms of a naturalenergy norm. We validate the performance of the indicator withinan adaptive mesh refinement procedure and show its asymptoticexactness for a range of test problems.     

Discontinuous Stable Elements for the Incompressible Flow

In this paper, we derive a discontinuous Galerkin finite element formulation for the Stokes equations and a group of stable elements associated with the formulation. We prove that these elements satisfy the new inf–sup condition and can be used to solve incompressible flow problems. Associated with these stable elements, optimal error estimates for the approximation of both velocity and pressure in L ² norm are obtained for the Stokes problems, as well as an optimal error estimate for the approximation of velocity in a mesh dependent norm.     

Local Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Three Classes of Nonlinear Wave Equations

In this paper, we further develop the local discontinuous Galerkin method to solve three classes of nonlinear wave equations formulated by the general KdV-Burgers type equations, the general fifth-order KdV type equations and the fully nonlinear K(n, n, n) equations, and prove their stability for these general classes of nonlinear equations. The schemes we present extend the previous work of Yan and Shu [30, 31] and of Levy, Shu and Yan [24] on local discontinuous Galerkin method solving partial differential equations with higher spatial derivatives. Numerical examples for nonlinear problems are shown to illustrate the accuracy and capability of the methods. The numerical experiments include stationary solitons, soliton interactions and oscillatory solitary wave solutions.The numerical experiments also include the compacton solutions of a generalized fifthorder KdV equation in which the highest order derivative term is nonlinear and the fully nonlinear K (n, n, n) equations.

A note on the design of hp-version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for degenerate problems

^** Email: emmanuil.georgoulis{at}mcs.le.ac.uk^*** Email: al{at}maths.strath.ac.uk We consider a variant of the hp-version interior penalty discontinuousGalerkin finite element method (IP-DGFEM) for second-order problemsof degenerate type. We do not assume uniform ellipticity ofthe diffusion tensor. Moreover, diffusion tensors of arbitraryform are covered in the theory presented. A new, refined recipefor the choice of the discontinuity-penalization parameter (thatis present in the formulation of the IP-DGFEM) is given. Makinguse of the recently introduced augmented Sobolev space framework,we prove an hp-optimal error bound in the energy norm and anh-optimal and slightly p-suboptimal (by only half an order ofp) bound in the L² norm (the latter, for the symmetric versionof the IP-DGFEM), provided that the solution belongs to an augmentedSobolev space.     

Discontinuous Galerkin methods for the chemotaxis and haptotaxis models

In this work, first we formulate and compare three different discontinuous Interior Penalty Galerkin methods for the 2D Keller–Segel chemotaxis model. Keller–Segel chemotaxis model is the important starting step in the modeling of the real biological system. We show in the numerical tests that two of the proposed methods fail to give accurate, oscillation-free solutions.
