ON THE ERROR ESTIMATES FOR THE ROTATIONAL PRESSURE-CORRECTION PROJECTION SPECTRAL METHODS FOR THE UNSTEADY STOKES EQUATIONS

This paper provides an analysis of the rotational form of the pressure-correction methods by spectral approximations for the unsteady Stokes equations. Error estimates in finite time for the fully discrete case are given. Numerical experiences using both spectral and spectral element methods are carried out to confirm the theoretical results.     

ON THE P1 POWELL-SABIN DIVERGENCE-FREE FINITE ELEMENT FOR THE STOKES EQUATIONS

The stability of the P1-P0 mixed-element is established on general Powell-Sabin triangular grids. The piecewise linear finite element solution approximating the velocity is divergence-free pointwise for the Stokes equations. The finite element solution approximating the pressure in the Stokes equations can be obtained as a byproduct if an iterative method is adopted for solving the discrete linear system of equations. Numerical tests are presented confirming the theory on the stability and the optimal order of convergence for the P1 Powell-Sabin divergence-free finite element method.     

CONVERGENCE OF A MIXED FINITE ELEMENT FOR THE STOKES PROBLEM ON ANISOTROPIC MESHES

The main aim of this paper is to study the convergence properties of a low order mixed finite element for the Stokes problem under anisotropic meshes. We discuss the anisotropic convergence and superconvergence independent of the aspect ratio. Without the shape regularity assumption and inverse assumption on the meshes, the optimal error estimates and natural superconvergence at central points are obtained. The global superconvergence for the gradient of the velocity and the pressure is derived with the aid of a suitable postprocessing method. Furthermore, we develop a simple method to obtain the superclose properties which improves the results of the previous works .     

GLOBAL SUPERCONVERGENCE OF THE MIXED FINITE ELEMENT METHODS FOR 2-D MAXWELL EQUATIONS

In this paper, a mortar finite element method for parabolic problem is presented. Multi-grid method is used for solving the resulting discrete system. It is shown that the multigrid method is optimal, i.e, the convergence rate is independent of the mesh size L and the time step parameter τ.     

A MIXED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD ON A STAGGERED MESH FOR NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

In this paper, we introduce a mixed finite element method on a staggered mesh for the numerical solution of the steady state Navier-Stokes equations in which the two components of the velocity and the pressure are defined on three different meshes. This method is a conforming quadrilateral Q1 × Q1 - P0 element approximation for the Navier-Stokes equations. First-order error estimates are obtained for both the velocity and the pressure. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

LEAST-SQUARES MIXED FINITE ELEMENT METHODS FOR THE INCOMPRESSIBLE MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC EQUATIONS

Least-squares mixed finite element methods are proposed and analyzed for the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations, where the two vorticities are additionally introduced as independent variables in order that the primal equations are transformed into the first-order systems. We show that there hold the coerciveness and the optimal error bound in appropriate norms for all variables under consideration, which can be approximated by all kinds of continuous element. Consequently, the Babuska-Brezzi condition(i.e. the inf-sup condition) and the indefiniteness are avoided which are essential features of the classical mixed methods.

UNIFIED ANALYSIS OF TIME DOMAIN MIXED FINITE ELEMENT METHODS FOR MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS IN DISPERSIVE MEDIA

In this paper, we consider the time dependent Maxwell＇s equations when dispersive media are involved. The Crank-Nicolson mixed finite element methods are developed for three most popular dispersive medium models： the isotropic cold plasma, the one-pole Debye medium and the two-pole Lorentz medium. Optimal error estimates are proved for all three models solved by the Raviart-Thomas-Ndd@lec spaces. Extensions to multiple pole dispersive media are presented also.
