Error estimates for a finite volume method for the Laplace equation in dimension one through discrete Green functions
نویسنده
چکیده
The cell-centered finite volume approximation of the Laplace equation in dimension one is considered. An exact expression of the error between the exact and numerical solutions is derived through the use of continuous and discrete Green functions. This allows to discuss convergence of the method in the L and L norms with respect to the choice of the control points in the cells and with respect to the regularity of the data. Well-known second-order convergence results are recovered if those control points are properly chosen and if the data belongs to H. Counterexamples are constructed to show that second-order may be lost if these conditions are not met.

A new positive definite semi-discrete mixed finite element solution for parabolic equations
In this paper, a positive definite semi-discrete mixed finite element method was presented for two-dimensional parabolic equations. In the new positive definite systems, the gradient equation and flux equations were separated from their scalar unknown equations. Also, the existence and uniqueness of the semi-discrete mixed finite element solutions were proven. Error estimates were also obtaine...

In this article, we study the new streamline diffusion finite element for treating the linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem. We prove a posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$ and error estimates for this method under minimal regularity hypothesis. Test problem of an application of the wave equation in the laser is presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the method.
متن کاملOptimal order finite element approximation for a hyperbolic integro-differential equation
Semidiscrete finite element approximation of a hyperbolic type integro-differential equation is studied. The model problem is treated as the wave equation which is perturbed with a memory term. Stability estimates are obtained for a slightly more general problem. These, based on energy method, are used to prove optimal order a priori error estimates.

A general initial-boundary value problem of one-dimensional transient wave propagation in a multi-layered elastic medium due to arbitrary boundary or interface excitations (either prescribed tractions or displacements) is considered. Laplace transformation technique is utilised and the Laplace transform inversion is facilitated via an unconventional method, where the expansion of complex-valued...
متن کاملNumerical Computation of Discrete Differential Operators on Non-Uniform Grids
In this paper, we explore the numerical approximation of discrete differential operators on nonuniform grids. The Voronoi cell and the notion of natural neighbors are used to approximate the Laplacian and the gradient operator on irregular grids. The underlying weight measure used in the numerical computations is the Laplace weight function, which has been previously adopted in meshless Galerki...
