چکیده

The aim of this paper is to show that, for a linear second-order hyperbolic equation discretized by the backward Euler scheme in time and continuous piecewise linear finite elements in space, the adaptation of the time steps can be combined with spatial mesh adaptivity in an optimal way. We derive a priori and a posteriori error estimates which admit, as much as it is possible, the decoupling of the errors committed in the temporal and spatial discretizations. Résumé: Le but de cet article est de montrer que, pour une équation hyperbolique modèle discrétisée par schéma d’Euler implicite en temps et éléments finis en espace, l’adaptativité des pas de temps peut se combiner avec l’adaptativité du maillage de façon optimale. Pour cela, nous prouvons des estimations d’erreur a priori et a posteriori permettant de découpler au maximum l’erreur issue de la discrétisation en temps et celle due à la discrétisation en espace.

A new fractional sub-equation method for solving the space-time fractional differential equations in mathematical physics

In this paper, a new fractional sub-equation method is proposed for finding exact solutions of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) in the sense of modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. With the aid of symbolic computation, we choose the space-time fractional Zakharov-Kuznetsov-Benjamin-Bona-Mahony (ZKBBM) equation in mathematical physics with a source to illustrate the validity a...

Adaptive Galerkin Finite Element Methods for the Wave Equation

This paper gives an overview of adaptive discretization methods for linear second-order hyperbolic problems such as the acoustic or the elastic wave equation. The emphasis is on Galerkin-type methods for spatial as well as temporal discretization, which also include variants of the Crank-Nicolson and the Newmark finite difference schemes. The adaptive choice of space and time meshes follows the...
