OPTIMAL ERROR ESTIMATES OF A DECOUPLED SCHEME BASED ON TWO-GRID FINITE ELEMENT FOR MIXED NAVIER-STOKES/DARCY MODEL

Although the two-grid finite element decoupled scheme for mixed Navier-Stokes/ Darcy model in literatures has given the numerical results of optimal convergence order, the theoretical analysis only obtain the optimal error order for the porous media flow and a non-optimal error order for the fluid flow. In this article, we give a more rigorous of the error analysis for the fluid flow and obtain the optimal error estimates of the velocity and the pressure.

UNCONDITIONALLY OPTIMAL ERROR ESTIMATES OF THE BILINEAR-CONSTANT SCHEME FOR TIME-DEPENDENT NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

In this paper,the unconditional error estimates are presented for the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations by the bilinear-constant scheme.The corresponding optimal error estimates for the velocity and the pressure are derived unconditionally,while the previous works require certain time-step restrictions.The analysis is based on an iterated time-discrete system,with which the error function is split into a temporal error and a spatial error.The τ-independent(τ is the time stepsize)error estimate between the numerical solution and the solution of the time-discrete system is proven by a rigorous analysis,which implies that the numerical solution in L^(∞)-norm is bounded.Thus optimal error estimates can be obtained in a traditional way.Numerical results are provided to confirm the theoretical analysis.

Error estimates of H^1-Galerkin mixed finite element method for Schrdinger equation

An H^1-Galerkin mixed finite element method is discussed for a class of second order SchrSdinger equation. Optimal error estimates of semidiscrete schemes are derived for problems in one space dimension. At the same time, optimal error estimates are derived for fully discrete schemes. And it is showed that the H1-Galerkin mixed finite element approximations have the same rate of convergence as in the classical mixed finite element methods without requiring the LBB consistency condition.

UNCONDITIONAL ERROR ANALYSIS OF VEMS FOR A GENERALIZED NONLINEAR SCHRODINGER EQUATION

In this work,we focus on the conforming and nonconforming leap-frog virtual element methods for the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation,and establish their unconditional stability and optimal error estimates.By constructing a time-discrete system,the error between the solutions of the continuous model and the numerical scheme is separated into the temporal error and the spatial error,which makes the spatial error τ-independent.The inverse inequalities in the existing conforming and new constructed nonconforming virtual element spaces are utilized to derive the L^(∞)-norm uniform boundedness of numerical solutions without any restrictions on time-space step ratio,and then unconditionally optimal error estimates of the numerical schemes are obtained naturally.What needs to be emphasized is that if we use the pre-existing nonconforming virtual elements,there is no way to derive the L^(∞)-norm uniform boundedness of the functions in the nonconforming virtual element spaces so as to be hard to get the corresponding inverse inequalities.Finally,several numerical examples are reported to confirm our theoretical results.

OPTIMAL INTERIOR AND LOCAL ERROR ESTIMATES OF A RECOVERED GRADIENT OF LINEAR ELEMENTS ON NONUNIFORM TRIANGULATIONS

We examine a simple averaging formula for the gradieni of linear finite elemelitsin Rd whose interpolation order in the Lq-norm is O(h2) for d < 2q and nonuniformtriangulations. For elliptic problems in R2 we derive an interior superconvergencefor the averaged gradient over quasiuniform triangulations. Local error estimatesup to a regular part of the boundary and the effect of numerical integration arealso investigated.

Numerical solutions to regularized long wave equation based on mixed covolume method

The mixed covolume method for the regularized long wave equation is devel- oped and studied. By introducing a transfer operator γh, which maps the trial function space into the test function space, and combining the mixed finite element with the finite volume method, the nonlinear and linear Euler fully discrete mixed covolume schemes are constructed, and the existence and uniqueness of the solutions are proved. The optimal error estimates for these schemes are obtained. Finally, a numerical example is provided to examine the efficiency of the proposed schemes.

A locking-free anisotropic nonconforming rectangular finite element approximation for the planar elasticity problem

This paper deals with a new nonconforming anisotropic rectangular finite element approximation for the planar elasticity problem with pure displacement boundary condition. By use of the special properties of this element, and by introducing the complementary space and a series of novel techniques, the optimal error estimates of the energy norm and the L^2-norm are obtained. The restrictions of regularity assumption and quasi-uniform assumption or the inverse assumption on the meshes required in the conventional finite element methods analysis are to be got rid of and the applicable scope of the nonconforming finite elements is extended.

CONVERGENCE OF THE CRANK-NICOLSON/NEWTON SCHEME FOR NONLINEAR PARABOLIC PROBLEM

In this paper, the Crank-Nicolson/Newton scheme for solving numerically second- order nonlinear parabolic problem is proposed. The standard Galerkin finite element method based on P2 conforming elements is used to the spatial discretization of the problem and the Crank-Nieolson/Newton scheme is applied to the time discretization of the resulted finite element equations. Moreover, assuming the appropriate regularity of the exact solution and the finite element solution, we obtain optimal error estimates of the fully discrete Crank- Nicolson/Newton scheme of nonlinear parabolic problem. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to show the efficient performance of the proposed scheme.

A Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method with Generalized Alternating Fluxes for 2D Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

In this paper,we consider the local discontinuous Galerkin method with generalized alter-nating numerical fluxes for two-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equations on Carte-sian meshes.The generalized fluxes not only lead to a smaller magnitude of the errors,but can guarantee an energy conservative property that is useful for long time simulations in resolving waves.By virtue of generalized skew-symmetry property of the discontinuous Galerkin spatial operators,two energy equations are established and stability results con-taining energy conservation of the prime variable as well as auxiliary variables are shown.To derive optimal error estimates for nonlinear Schrödinger equations,an additional energy equation is constructed and two a priori error assumptions are used.This,together with properties of some generalized Gauss-Radau projections and a suitable numerical initial condition,implies optimal order of k+1.Numerical experiments are given to demonstrate the theoretical results.

Convergence Analysis of the Fully Decoupled Linear Scheme for Magnetohydrodynamic Equations

In this paper, we propose a fully decoupled and linear scheme for the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equation with the backward differential formulation (BDF) and finite element method (FEM). To solve the system, we adopt a technique based on the “zero-energy-contribution” contribution, which separates the magnetic and fluid fields from the coupled system. Additionally, making use of the pressure projection methods, the pressure variable appears explicitly in the velocity field equation, and would be computed in the form of a Poisson equation. Therefore, the total system is divided into several smaller sub-systems that could be simulated at a significantly low cost. We prove the unconditional energy stability, unique solvability and optimal error estimates for the proposed scheme, and present numerical results to verify the accuracy, efficiency and stability of the scheme.

In this article, a new stable nonconforming mixed finite element scheme is proposed for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations, in which a new low order Crouzeix- Raviart type nonconforming rectangular element is taken for approximating space for the velocity and the piecewise constant element for the pressure. The optimal order error estimates for the approximation of both the velocity and the pressure in L2-norm are established, as well as one in broken H1-norm for the velocity. Numerical experiments are given which are consistent with our theoretical analysis.

SUPERCONVERGENCE ANALYSIS OF A BDF-GALERKIN FEM FOR THE NONLINEAR KLEIN-GORDON-SCHRODINGER EQUATIONS WITH DAMPING MECHANISM

The focus of this paper is on a linearized backward differential formula(BDF)scheme with Galerkin FEM for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger equations(KGSEs)with damping mechanism.Optimal error estimates and superconvergence results are proved without any time-step restriction condition for the proposed scheme.The proof consists of three ingredients.First,a temporal-spatial error splitting argument is employed to bound the numerical solution in certain strong norms.Second,optimal error estimates are derived through a novel splitting technique to deal with the time derivative and some sharp estimates to cope with the nonlinear terms.Third,by virtue of the relationship between the Ritz projection and the interpolation,as well as a so-called"lifting"technique,the superconvergence behavior of order O(h^(2)+τ^(2))in H^(1)-norm for the original variables are deduced.Finally,a numerical experiment is conducted to confirm our theoretical analysis.Here,h is the spatial subdivision parameter,andτis the time step.
