Abstract In this contribution, it is demonstrated that the mesh sensitivity of linear elastic Reissner–Mindlin finite‐element plate formulations can be significantly reduced by using a Petrov–Galerkin‐based approach. contrast to usual Bubnov–Galerkin method, Petrov–Galerkin methods are generally characterized fact test function and trial approximated different shape functions. To provide an ove...

The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, we develop the Petrov-Galerkin method and the iterated Petrov-Galerkin method for a class of nonlinear Hammerstein equations. Alpert [1] established a class of wavelet basis and applied it to approximate solutions of the Fredholm second kind integral equations by the Galerkin method. He then demonstrated an advantage of a wavelet basis application t...

A Legendre and Chebyshev dual-Petrov–Galerkin method for hyperbolic equations is introduced and analyzed. The dual-Petrov– Galerkin method is based on a natural variational formulation for hyperbolic equations. Consequently, it enjoys some advantages which are not available for methods based on other formulations. More precisely, it is shown that (i) the dual-Petrov–Galerkin method is always st...

This paper is an attempt in seeking a connection between the discontinuous Petrov– Galerkin method of Demkowicz and Gopalakrishnan [13,15] and the popular discontinuous Galerkin method. Starting from a discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin (DPG) method with zero enriched order we re-derive a large class of discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for first order hyperbolic and elliptic equations. The first ...

A method for calculating special grid placement for three-point schemes which yields exponential superconvergence of the Neumann to Dirichlet map has been suggested earlier. Here we show that such a grid placement can yield impedance which is equivalent to that of a spectral Galerkin method, or more generally to that of a spectral Galerkin-Petrov method. In fact we show that for every stable Ga...

and Applied Analysis 3 nonlinear term is treated with the Chebyshev collocation method. The time discretization is a classical Crank-Nicholson-leap-frog scheme. Yuan and Wu 43 extended the Legendre dual-Petrov-Galerkin method proposed by Shen 44 , further developed by Yuan et al. 45 to general fifth-order KdV-type equations with various nonlinear terms. The main aim of this paper is to propose ...

A comparison of Standard Galerkin, Petrov–Galerkin, and Fully-Upwind Galerkin methods for the simulation of two-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media is presented. On the basis of the coupled pressure–saturation equations, a generalized formulation for all three finite element methods is derived and analysed. For flow in homogeneous media, the Petrov–Galerkin method gives excellent results. ...

We deal with the numerical solution of time-dependent convection-diffusion-reaction equations. We combine the local projection stabilization method for the space discretization with two different time discretization schemes: the continuous Galerkin-Petrov (cGP) method and the discontinuous Galerkin (dG) method of polynomial of degree k. We establish the optimal error estimates and present numer...

This work proposes a space–time least-squares Petrov–Galerkin (ST-LSPG) projection method for model reduction of nonlinear dynamical systems. In contrast to typical nonlinear model-reduction methods that first apply (Petrov– )Galerkin projection in the spatial dimension and subsequently apply time integration to numerically resolve the resulting low-dimensional dynamical system, the proposed me...
