A lumped mass approximation scheme of a low order Crouzeix-Raviart type noncon- forming triangular finite element is proposed to a kind of nonlinear parabolic integro-differential equations. The L2 error estimate is derived on anisotropic meshes without referring to the traditional nonclassical elliptic projection.

Superconvergence of Finite Element Approximations to Parabolic and Hyperbolic Integro-Differential Equations

The object of this paper is to investigate the superconvergence properties of finite element approximations to parabolic and hyperbolic integro-differential equations. The quasi projection technique introduced earlier by Douglas et al. is developed to derive the O(h2r) order knot superconvergence in the case of a single space variable, and to show the optimal order negative norm estimates in the case of several space variables.

Global Existence and Decay of Solutions for a Class of a Pseudo-Parabolic Equation with Singular Potential and Logarithmic Nonlocal Source

This article investigates the well posedness and asymptotic behavior of Neumann initial boundary value problems for a class of pseudo-parabolic equations with singular potential and logarithmic nonlinearity. By utilizing cut-off techniques and combining with the Faedo Galerkin approximation method, local solvability was established. Based on the potential well method and Hardy Sobolev inequality, derive the global existence of the solution. In addition, we also obtained the results of decay.

This paper concerns the implementation of the orthogonal polynomials using the Galerkin method for solving Volterra integro-differential and Fredholm integro-differential equations. The constructed orthogonal polynomials are used as basis functions in the assumed solution employed. Numerical examples for some selected problems are provided and the results obtained show that the Galerkin method with orthogonal polynomials as basis functions performed creditably well in terms of absolute errors obtained.

Highly efficient H^1-Galerkin mixed finite element method (MFEM) for parabolic integro-differential equation

A highly efficient H1-Galerkin mixed finite element method （MFEM） is presented with linear triangular element for the parabolic integro-differential equation. Firstly, some new results about the integral estimation and asymptotic expansions are studied. Then, the superconvergence of order O（h^2） for both the original variable u in H1 （Ω） norm and the flux p = u in H（div, Ω） norm is derived through the interpolation post processing technique. Furthermore, with the help of the asymptotic expansions and a suitable auxiliary problem, the extrapolation solutions with accuracy O（h^3） are obtained for the above two variables. Finally, some numerical results are provided to confirm validity of the theoretical analysis and excellent performance of the proposed method.

AN A.D.I.GALERKIN METHOD FOR NONLINEAR PARABOLIC INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION USING PATCH APPROXIMATION

An A. D. I. Galerkin scheme for three-dimensional nonlinear parabolic integro-differen-tial equation is studied. By using alternating-direction, the three-dimensional problem is reduced to a family of single space variable problems, the calculation is simplified; by using a local approxima-tion of the coefficients based on patches of finite elements, the coefficient matrix is updated at each time step; by using Ritz-Volterra projection, integration by part and other techniques, the influence coming from the integral term is treated; by using inductive hypothesis reasoning, the difficulty coming from the nonlinearity is treated. For both Galerkin and A. D. I. Galerkin schemes the con-vergence properties are rigorously demonstrated, the optimal H^1-norm and L^2-norm estimates are obtained.

A Comparative Numerical Study of Parabolic Partial Integro-Differential Equation Arising from Convection-Diffusion

This article studies the development of two numerical techniques for solving convection-diffusion type partial integro-differential equation(PIDE)with a weakly singular kernel.Cubic trigonometric B-spline(CTBS)functions are used for interpolation in both methods.The first method is CTBS based collocation method which reduces the PIDE to an algebraic tridiagonal system of linear equations.The other method is CTBS based differential quadrature method which converts the PIDE to a system of ODEs by computing spatial derivatives as weighted sum of function values.An efficient tridiagonal solver is used for the solution of the linear system obtained in the first method as well as for determination of weighting coefficients in the second method.An explicit scheme is employed as time integrator to solve the system of ODEs obtained in the second method.The methods are tested with three nonhomogeneous problems for their validation.Stability,computational efficiency and numerical convergence of the methods are analyzed.Comparison of errors in approximations produced by the present methods versus different values of discretization parameters and convection-diffusion coefficients are made.Convection and diffusion dominant cases are discussed in terms of Peclet number.The results are also compared with cubic B-spline collocation method.

BLOW-UP PROBLEMS FOR NONLINEAR PARABOLIC EQUATIONS ON LOCALLY FINITE GRAPHS

Let G =（V, E） be a locally finite connected weighted graph, and ？ be the usual graph Laplacian. In this article, we study blow-up problems for the nonlinear parabolic equation ut = ？u ＋ f（u） on G. The blow-up phenomenons for ut = ？u ＋ f（u） are discussed in terms of two cases：（i） an initial condition is given;（ii） a Dirichlet boundary condition is given. We prove that if f satisfies appropriate conditions, then the corresponding solutions will blow up in a finite time.

A REDUCED-ORDER MFE FORMULATION BASED ON POD METHOD FOR PARABOLIC EQUATIONS

In this paper, we extend the applications of proper orthogonal decomposition （POD） method, i.e., apply POD method to a mixed finite element （MFE） formulation naturally satisfied Brezz-Babu^ka for parabolic equations, establish a reduced-order MFE formulation with lower dimensions and sufficiently high accuracy, and provide the error estimates between the reduced-order POD MFE solutions and the classical MFE solutions and the implementation of algorithm for solving reduced-order MFE formulation. Some numerical examples illustrate the fact that the results of numerical computation are consis- tent with theoretical conclusions. Moreover, it is shown that the new reduced-order MFE formulation based on POD method is feasible and efficient for solving MFE formulation for parabolic equations.

GLOBAL EXISTENCE,EXPONENTIAL DECAY AND BLOW-UP IN FINITE TIME FOR A CLASS OF FINITELY DEGENERATE SEMILINEAR PARABOLIC EQUATIONS

In this paper, we study the initial-boundary value problem for the semilinear parabolic equations ut -△Xu=|u|^p-1u, where X=(X1, X2,…, Xm) is a system of real smooth vector fields which satisfy the Hormander's condition, and △x=m∑j=1Xj^2is a finitely degenerate elliptic operator. Using potential well method, we first prove the invariance of some sets and vacuum isolating of solutions. Finally, by the Galerkin method and the concavity method we show the global existence and blow-up in finite time of solutions with low initial energy or critical initial energy, and also we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the global solutions.
