A mixed finite element method for fourth order elliptic equations with variable coefficients

An Adaptive Least-Squares Mixed Finite Element Method for Fourth- Order Elliptic Equations

A least-squares mixed finite element (LSMFE) method for the numerical solution of fourth-order elliptic equations is analyzed and developed in this paper. The a posteriori error estimator which is needed in the adaptive refinement algorithm is proposed. The local evaluation of the least-squares functional serves as a posteriori error estimator. The posteriori errors are effectively estimated.

Discrete Galerkin Method for Higher Even-Order Integro-Differential Equations with Variable Coefficients

This paper presents discrete Galerkin method for obtaining the numerical solution of higher even-order integro-differential equations with variable coefficients. We use the generalized Jacobi polynomials with indexes corresponding to the number of homogeneous initial conditions as natural basis functions for the approximate solution. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiven...

A mixed multiscale finite element method for elliptic problems with oscillating coefficients

The recently introduced multiscale finite element method for solving elliptic equations with oscillating coefficients is designed to capture the large-scale structure of the solutions without resolving all the fine-scale structures. Motivated by the numerical simulation of flow transport in highly heterogeneous porous media, we propose a mixed multiscale finite element method with an over-sampl...

A Multimodes Monte Carlo Finite Element Method for Elliptic Partial Differential Equations with Random Coefficients

This paper develops and analyzes an efficient numerical method for solving elliptic partial differential equations, where the diffusion coefficients are random perturbations of deterministic diffusion coefficients. The method is based upon a multimodes representation of the solution as a power series of the perturbation parameter, and the Monte Carlo technique for sampling the probability space...
