Abstract. This paper deals with the formulation of a numerical scheme for solving compressible flow past moving bodies. We use the discontinuos Galerkin finite element method for the space semi-discretization and the Euler backward formula for the time discretization. Moreover, we use ALE mapping for the treatment of a time depended domain and the linearization of inviscid terms using the Vijay...

We study the spatially semidiscrete lumped mass method for the model homogeneous heat equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Improving earlier results we show that known optimal order smooth initial data error estimates for the standard Galerkin method carry over to the lumped mass method whereas nonsmooth initial data estimates require special assumptions on the triangulation...

This paper deals with the numerical analysis of nonlinear Black-Scholes equation with transaction costs. An unconditionally stable and monotone splitting method, ensuring positive numerical solution and avoiding unstable oscillations, is proposed. This numerical method is based on the LOD-Backward Euler method which allows us to solve the discrete equation explicitly. The numerical results for ...

Modelling of mechatronical systems often leads to large DAEs with stiff components. In real time simulation neither implicit nor explicit methods can cope with such systems in an efficient way: explicit methods have to employ too small steps and implicit methods have to solve too large systems of equations. A solution of this general problem is to using a method that allows manipulations of the...

The physically-based simulation of mechanical effects has been an important research topic in computer graphics for more than two decades. Classical methods in this field discretize Newton’s second law and determine different forces to simulate various effects like stretching, shearing, and bending of deformable bodies or pressure and viscosity of fluids, to mention just a few. Given these forc...

Abstract. In this paper, three-dimensional parabolic and pseudo-parabolic equations with classical, periodic and nonlocal boundary conditions are approximated by the full approximation backward Euler method, locally one dimensional and Douglas ADI splitting schemes. The stability with respect to initial conditions is investigated. We note that the stability of the proposed numerical algorithms ...

In this paper, we study time discretizations of fully nonlinear parabolic differential equations. Our analysis uses the fact that the linearization along the exact solution is a uniformly sectorial operator. We derive smooth and nonsmooth-data error estimates for the backward Euler method, and we prove convergence for strongly A(θ)stable Runge–Kutta methods. For the latter, the order of converg...

We de8ne a time-stepping procedure to integrate the equations of motion of sti+ multibody dynamics with contact and friction. The friction and non-interpenetration constraints are modelled by complemen9 tarity equations. Sti+ness is accommodated by a technique motivated by a linearly implicit Euler method. We show that the main subproblem, a linear complementarity problem, is consistent for a s...

Stiffness manifests in stochastic dynamic systems in a more complex manner than in deterministic systems; it is not only important for a time-steppingmethod to remain stable but it is also important for the method to capture the asymptotic variances accurately. In the context of stochastic chemical systems, time stepping methods are known as tau leaping. Well known existing tau leaping methods ...
