On an iterative method to solve nonlinear elliptic problems

An iterative method to solve a nonlinear matrix equation

In this paper, an iterative method to solve one kind of nonlinear matrix equation is discussed. For each initial matrix with some conditions, the matrix sequences generated by the iterative method are shown to lie in a fixed open ball. The matrix sequences generated by the iterative method are shown to converge to the only solution of the nonlinear matrix equation in the fixed closed ball. In a...

Altered Jacobian Newton Iterative Method for Nonlinear Elliptic Problems

We present an Altered Jacobian Newton Iterative Method for solving nonlinear elliptic problems. Effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical experiments. Comparison of our method with Newton Iterative Method is also presented. Convergence of the Newton Iterative Method is highly sensitive to the initialization or initial guess. Reported numerical work shows the robustn...

An Iterative Finite Element Method for Elliptic Eigenvalue Problems

We consider the task of resolving accurately the nth eigenpair of a generalized eigenproblem rooted in some elliptic partial differential equation (PDE), using an adaptive finite element method (FEM). Conventional adaptive FEM algorithms call a generalized eigensolver after each mesh refinement step. This is not practical in our situation since the generalized eigensolver needs to calculate n e...

Using AVK method to solve nonlinear problems with uncertain parameters

Although we usually would like to work with exact systems, most of the real world systems are nonlinear with uncertain parameters. In this paper, we propose AVK (A.V. Kamyad) approach to solve nonlinear problems with uncertain parameters (NPUP). This approach substitutes the original nonlinear system with an equivalent nonlinear programming (NLP) problem. Using this approach, we found an optima...
