Mclite: an Adaptive Multilevel Finite Element Matlab Package for Scalar Nonlinear Elliptic Equations in the Plane
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is a user’s manual for MCLite, an adaptive multilevel finite element MATLAB package for solving scalar nonlinear elliptic equations in the plane. MCLite is a two-dimensional MATLAB prototype of a more complete twoand three-dimensional ANSI-C code called MC, which expends MCLite’s capabilities to elliptic systems of tensor equations on 2and 3-manifolds. Both codes share the same core geometry datastructures and overall design; they even share the same input file format. This allows a user to work with both codes, perhaps prototyping ideas in MCLite using MATLAB, and then reimplementing the idea more carefully in MC using ANSI-C.

Adaptive Numerical Treatment of Elliptic Systems on Manifolds
Adaptive multilevel finite element methods are developed and analyzed for certain elliptic systems arising in geometric analysis and general relativity. This class of nonlinear elliptic systems of tensor equations on manifolds is first reviewed, and then adaptive multilevel finite element methods for approximating solutions to this class of problems are considered in some detail. Two a posterio...
متن کاملGenerating Initial Data in General Relativity using Adaptive Finite Element Methods
The conformal formulation of the Einstein constraint equations is first reviewed, and we then consider the design, analysis, and implementation of adaptive multilevel finite element-type numerical methods for the resulting coupled nonlinear elliptic system. We derive weak formulations of the coupled constraints, and review some new developments in the solution theory for the constraints in the ...
متن کاملBuckling Analysis of Rectangular Functionally Graded Plates with an Elliptic Hole Under Thermal Loads
This paper presents thermal buckling analysis of rectangular functionally graded plates (FG plates) with an eccentrically located elliptic cutout. The plate governing equations derived by the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and finite element formulation is developed to analyze the plate behavior subjected to a uniform temperature rise across plate thickness. It is assumed that the ...
متن کاملLocal Convergence of Adaptive Methods for Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
In this article we develop convergence theory for a general class of adaptive approximation algorithms for abstract nonlinear operator equations on Banach spaces, and then use the theory to obtain convergence results for practical adaptive finite element methods (AFEM) applied to several classes of nonlinear elliptic equations. In the first part of the paper, we develop a weak-* convergence fra...
متن کاملLocal Refinement and Multilevel Preconditioning: Implementation and Numerical Experiments
In this paper, we examine a number of additive and multiplicative multilevel iterative methods and preconditioners in the setting of two-dimensional local mesh refinement. While standard multilevel methods are effective for uniform refinementbased discretizations of elliptic equations, they tend to be less effective for algebraic systems which arise from discretizations on locally refined meshe...
