THE SUPERCLOSENESS OF THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR A SINGULARLY PERTURBED CONVECTION-DIFFUSION PROBLEM ON A BAKHVALOV-TYPE MESH IN 2D

For singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems,supercloseness analysis of the finite element method is still open on Bakhvalov-type meshes,especially in the case of 2D.The difficulties arise from the width of the mesh in the layer adjacent to the transition point,resulting in a suboptimal estimate for convergence.Existing analysis techniques cannot handle these difficulties well.To fill this gap,here a novel interpolation is designed delicately for the smooth part of the solution,bringing about the optimal supercloseness result of almost order 2 under an energy norm for the finite element method.Our theoretical result is uniform in the singular perturbation parameterεand is supported by the numerical experiments.

Finite Element Analysis for Singularly Perturbed Advection-Diffusion Robin Boundary Values Problem

A singularly perturbed advection-diffusion two-point Robin boundary value problem whose solution has a single boundary layer is considered. Based on the piecewise linear polynomial approximation, the finite element method is applied to the problem. Estimation of the error between solution and the finite element approximation is given in energy norm on shishkin-type mesh.

Immersed Interface Finite Element Methods for Elasticity Interface Problems with Non-Homogeneous Jump Conditions

In this paper,a class of new immersed interface finite element methods (IIFEM) is developed to solve elasticity interface problems with homogeneous and non-homogeneous jump conditions in two dimensions.Simple non-body-fitted meshes are used.For homogeneous jump conditions,both non-conforming and conforming basis functions are constructed in such a way that they satisfy the natural jump conditions. For non-homogeneous jump conditions,a pair of functions that satisfy the same non-homogeneous jump conditions are constructed using a level-set representation of the interface.With such a pair of functions,the discontinuities across the interface in the solution and flux are removed;and an equivalent elasticity interface problem with homogeneous jump conditions is formulated.Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate that such methods have second order convergence.

A ROBUST FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR A 3-D ELLIPTIC SINGULAR PERTURBATION PROBLEM

This paper proposes a robust finite element method for a three-dimensional fourth-order elliptic singular perturbation problem. The method uses the three-dimensional Morley element and replaces the finite element functions in the part of bilinear form corresponding to the second-order differential operator by a suitable approximation. To give such an approximation, a convergent nonconforming element for the second-order problem is constructed. It is shown that the method converges uniformly in the perturbation parameter.

The stability of this finite element method is proved and an upper bound O（h｜lnε｜3/2） for errors in the approximate solutions in the energy norm is obtained on the triangular Bakhvalov-type mesh. Numerical results are presented to verify the stability and the convergent rate of this finite element method.

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF A LOCAL EXPONENTIALLYFITTED SCHEME FOR TIME-DEPENDENTCONVECTION-DIFFUSION PROBLEMS

In [16], Stynes and O' Riordan(91) introduced a local exponentially fitted finite element (FE) scheme for a singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problem without turning-point. An E-uniform h(1/2)-order accuracy was obtain for the epsilon-weighted energy norm. And this uniform order is known as an optimal one for global exponentially fitted FE schemes (see [6, 7, 12]). In present paper, this scheme is used to a parabolic singularly perturbed problem. After some subtle analysis, a uniformly in epsilon convergent order h\ln h\(1/2) + tau is achieved (h is the space step and tau is the time step), which sharpens the results in present literature. Furthermore, it implies that the accuracy order in [16] is actuallay h\ln h\(1/2) rather than h(1/2).

Finite volume element method for analysis of unsteady reaction-diffusion problems

A finite volume element method is developed for analyzing unsteady scalar reaction-diffusion problems in two dimensions. The method combines the concepts that are employed in the finite volume and the finite element method together. The finite volume method is used to discretize the unsteady reaction-diffusion equation, while the finite element method is applied to estimate the gradient quantities at cell faces. Robustness and efficiency of the combined method have been evaluated on uniform rectangular grids by using available numerical solutions of the two-dimensional reaction-diffusion problems. The numerical solutions demonstrate that the combined method is stable and can provide accurate solution without spurious oscillation along the high-gradient boundary layers.

INTERIOR ESTIMATES OF SEMIDISCRETE FINITE ELEMENT METHODS FOR PARABOLIC PROBLEMS WITH DISTRIBUTIONAL DATA

Let Ω CR^d,1≤d≤3, be a bounded d-polytope. Consider the parabolic equation on Q with the Dirac delta function on the right hand side. We study the well-posedness, regularity, and the interior error estimate of semidiscrete finite element approximations of the equation. In particular, we derive that the interior error is bounded by the best local approximation error, the negative norms of the error, and the negative norms of the time derivative of the error. This result implies different convergence rates for the numerical solution in different interior regions, especially when the region is close to the singular point. Numerical test results are reported to support the theoretical prediction.

Structural finite element model updating using incomplete ambient vibration modal data

This paper presents an effective approach for updating finite element dynamic model from incomplete modal data identified from ambient vibration measurements.The proposed method is based on the relationship between the perturbation of structural parameters such as stiffness and mass changes and the modal data measurements of the tested structure such as measured mode shape readings.Structural updating parameters including both stiffness and mass parameters are employed to represent the differences in structural parameters between the finite element model and the associated tested structure.These updating parameters are then evaluated by an iterative solution procedure,giving optimised solutions in the least squares sense without requiring an optimisation technique.In order to reduce the influence of modal measurement uncertainty,the truncated singular value decomposition regularization method incorporating the quasi-optimality criterion is employed to produce reliable solutions for the structural updating parameters.Finally,the numerical investigations of a space frame structure and the practical applications to the Canton Tower benchmark problem demonstrate that the proposed method can correctly update the given finite element model using the incomplete modal data identified from the recorded ambient vibration measurements.

Uniform Convergence Analysis for Singularly Perturbed Elliptic Problems with Parabolic Layers

In this paper, using Lin＇s integral identity technique, we prove the optimal uniform convergence θ（Nx^-2ln^2Nx＋Ny^-2ln^2Ny） in the L^2-norm for singularly perturbed problems with parabolic layers. The error estimate is achieved by bilinear finite elements on a Shishkin type mesh. Here Nx and Ny are the number of elements in the x- and y-directions, respectively. Numerical results are provided supporting our theoretical analysis.

A Robust Modified Weak Galerkin Finite Element Method for Reaction-Diffusion Equations

In this paper,a robust modified weak Galerkin(MWG)finite element method for reaction-diffusion equations is proposed and investigated.An advantage of this method is that it can deal with the singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equations.Another advantage of this method is that it produces fewer degrees of freedom than the traditional WG method by eliminating the element boundaries freedom.It is worth pointing out that,in our method,the test functions space is the same as the finite element space,which is helpful for the error analysis.Optimalorder error estimates are established for the corresponding numerical approximation in various norms.Some numerical results are reported to confirm the theory.
