A Priori Error Estimates of Finite Element Methods for Linear Parabolic Integro-Differential Optimal Control Problems

In this paper, we study the mathematical formulation for an optimal control problem governed by a linear parabolic integro-differential equation and present the optimality conditions. We then set up its weak formulation and the finite element approximation scheme. Based on these we derive the a priori error estimates for its finite element approximation both in $H^1$ and $L^2$ norms. Furthermore, some numerical tests are presented to verify the theoretical results.     

A Posteriori Error Estimates of Triangular Mixed Finite Element Methods for Semilinear Optimal Control Problems

In this paper, we present an a posteriori error estimates of semilinear quadratic constrained optimal control problems using triangular mixed finite element methods. The state and co-state are approximated by the order $k\leq 1$ Raviart- Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is approximated by piecewise constant element. We derive a posteriori error estimates for the coupled state and control approximations. A numerical example is presented in confirmation of the theory.

We derive $L^2$ and $L^\infty$-error estimates for the control variable. Moreover, using a recovery operator, we also derive some superconvergence results for the control variable. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the theoretical results.

The Optimal Error Estimate of the Fully Discrete Locally Stabilized Finite Volume Method for the Non-Stationary Navier-Stokes Problem

This paper proves the optimal estimations of a low-order spatial-temporal fully discrete method for the non-stationary Navier-Stokes Problem. In this paper, the semi-implicit scheme based on Euler method is adopted for time discretization, while the special finite volume scheme is adopted for space discretization. Specifically, the spatial discretization adopts the traditional triangle P1−P0 trial function pair, combined with macro element form to ensure local stability. The theoretical analysis results show that under certain conditions, the full discretization proposed here has the characteristics of local stability, and we can indeed obtain the optimal theoretic and numerical order error estimation of velocity and pressure. This helps to enrich the corresponding theoretical results.     

A Stabilized Finite Element Method for Non-Stationary Conduction-Convection Problems

This paper is concerned with a stabilized finite element method based on two local Gauss integrations for the two-dimensional non-stationary conduction-convection equations by using the lowest equal-order pairs of finite elements. This method only offsets the discrete pressure space by the residual of the simple and symmetry term at element level in order to circumvent the inf-sup condition. The stability of the discrete scheme is derived under some regularity assumptions. Optimal error estimates are obtained by applying the standard Galerkin techniques. Finally, the numerical illustrations agree completely with the theoretical expectations.     

A Posteriori Error Estimates of a Combined Mixed Finite Element and Discontinuous Galerkin Method for a Kind of Compressible Miscible Displacement Problems

A kind of compressible miscible displacement problems which include molecular diffusion and dispersion in porous media are investigated. The mixed finite element method is applied to the flow equation, and the transport one is solved by the symmetric interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method. Based on a duality argument, employing projection estimates and approximation properties, a posteriori residual-type $hp$ error estimates for the coupled system are presented, which is often used for guiding adaptivity. Comparing with the error analysis carried out by Yang (Int. J. Numer. Meth. Fluids, 65(7) (2011), pp. 781-797), the current work is more complicated and challenging.     

A Method of Lines Based on Immersed Finite Elements for Parabolic Moving Interface Problems

This article extends the finite element method of lines to a parabolic initial boundary value problem whose diffusion coefficient is discontinuous across an interface that changes with respect to time. The method presented here uses immersed finite element (IFE) functions for the discretization in spatial variables that can be carried out over a fixed mesh (such as a Cartesian mesh if desired), and this feature makes it possible to reduce the parabolic equation to a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE) through the usual semi-discretization procedure. Therefore, with a suitable choice of the ODE solver, this method can reliably and efficiently solve a parabolic moving interface problem over a fixed structured (Cartesian) mesh. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate features of this new method.     

A Finite Volume Method Based on the Constrained Nonconforming Rotated Q1-Constant Element for the Stokes Problem

We construct a finite volume element method based on the constrained nonconforming rotated Q₁-constant element (CNRQ₁-P₀) for the Stokes problem. Two meshes are needed, which are the primal mesh and the dual mesh. We approximate the velocity by CNRQ₁ elements and the pressure by piecewise constants. The errors for the velocity in the H¹ norm and for the pressure in the L² norm are O(h) and the error for the velocity in the L² norm is O(h²). Numerical experiments are presented to support our theoretical results.

Analysis of Two-Grid Methods for Nonlinear Parabolic Equations by Expanded Mixed Finite Element Methods

In this paper, we present an efficient method of two-grid scheme for the approximation of two-dimensional nonlinear parabolic equations using an expanded mixed finite element method. We use two Newton iterations on the fine grid in our methods. Firstly, we solve an original nonlinear problem on the coarse nonlinear grid, then we use Newton iterations on the fine grid twice. The two-grid idea is from Xu$'$s work [SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 33 (1996), pp. 1759-1777] on standard finite method. We also obtain the error estimates for the algorithms of the two-grid method. It is shown that the algorithm achieves asymptotically optimal approximation rate with the two-grid methods as long as the mesh sizes satisfy $h=\mathcal{O}(H^{(4k+1)/(k+1)})$.

A New Finite Volume Element Formulation for the Non-Stationary Navier-Stokes Equations

A semi-discrete scheme about time for the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations is presented firstly, then a new fully discrete finite volume element (FVE) formulation based on macroelement is directly established from the semi-discrete scheme about time. And the error estimates for the fully discrete FVE solutions are derived by means of the technique of the standard finite element method. It is shown by numerical experiments that the numerical results are consistent with theoretical conclusions. Moreover, it is shown that the FVE method is feasible and efficient for finding the numerical solutions of the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations and it is one of the most effective numerical methods among the FVE formulation, the finite element formulation, and the finite difference scheme.

Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations are a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations consisting of the Nernst-Planck equation and the electrostatic Poisson equation with delta distribution sources, which describe the electrodiffusion of ions in a solvated biomolecular system. In this paper, some error bounds for a piecewise finite element approximation to this problem are derived. Several numerical examples including biomolecular problems are shown to support our analysis.
