    Description: The celebrated truncated T-matrix method for wave propagation models belongs to a class of the reduced basis methods (RBMs), with the parameters being incident waves and incident directions. The T-matrix characterizes the scattering properties of the obstacles independent of the incident and receiver directions. In the T-matrix method the reduced set of basis functions for representation of the scattered field is constructed analytically and hence, unlike other classes of the RBM, the T-matrix RBM avoids computationally intensive empirical construction of a reduced set of parameters and the associated basis set. However, establishing a convergence analysis and providing practical a priori estimates for reducing the number of basis functions in the T-matrix method has remained an open problem for several decades. In this work we solve this open problem for time-harmonic acoustic scattering in two and three dimensions. We numerically demonstrate the convergence analysis and the a priori parameter estimates for both point-source and plane-wave incident waves. Our approach can be used in conjunction with any numerical method for solving the forward wave propagation problem.

    Description: We derive an algorithm for the adaptive approximation of solutions to parabolic equations. It is based on adaptive finite elements in space and the implicit Euler discretization in time with adaptive time-step sizes. We prove that, given a positive tolerance for the error, the adaptive algorithm reaches the final time with a space–time error between continuous and discrete solution that is below the given tolerance. Numerical experiments reveal a more than competitive performance of our algorithm ASTFEM (adaptive space–time finite element method).

    Description: We propose and analyse a new family of nonconforming elements for the Brinkman problem of porous media flow. The corresponding finite element methods are robust with respect to the limiting case of Darcy flow, and the discretely divergence-free functions are in fact divergence-free. Therefore, in the absence of sources and sinks, the method is strongly mass-conservative. We also show how the proposed elements are part of a discrete de Rham complex.

    Description: In this paper we investigate the superconvergence of local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) methods for solving one-dimensional linear time-dependent fourth-order problems. We prove that the error between the LDG solution and a particular projection of the exact solution, e u , achieves th-order superconvergence when polynomials of degree k ( k ≥ 1) are used. Numerical experiments with P k polynomials, with 1 ≤ k ≤ 3, are displayed to demonstrate the theoretical results, which show that the error e u actually achieves ( k +2)th-order superconvergence, indicating that the error bound for e u obtained in this paper is suboptimal. Initial boundary value problems, nonlinear equations and solutions having singularities, are numerically investigated to verify that the conclusions hold true for very general cases.

    Description: The discrete mollification method, a convolution-based filtering procedure for the regularization of illposed problems, is applied here to stabilize explicit schemes, which were first analysed by Karlsen & Risebro (2001, An operator splitting method for nonlinear convection–diffusion equations. M2AN Math. Model. Numer. Anal. 35 , 239–269) for the solution of initial value problems of strongly degenerate parabolic partial differential equations in two space dimensions. Two new schemes are proposed, which are based on directionwise and two-dimensional discrete mollification of the second partial derivatives forming the Laplacian of the diffusion function. The mollified schemes permit substantially larger time steps than the original (basic) scheme. It is proven that both schemes converge to the unique entropy solution of the initial value problem. Numerical examples demonstrate that the mollified schemes are competitive in efficiency, and in many cases significantly more efficient, than the basic scheme.

    Description: A family of explicit adaptive algorithms is designed to solve nonlinear scalar one-dimensional conservation laws. Based on the Godunov scheme on a uniform grid, a first strategy uses the multiresolution analysis of the solution to design an adaptive grid that evolves in time according to the time-dependent local smoothness. The method is furthermore enhanced by a local time-stepping strategy. Both numerical schemes are shown to converge towards the unique entropy solution.

    Description: In this paper the first error analyses of hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) methods for convection–diffusion equations for variable-degree approximations and nonconforming meshes are presented. The analysis technique is an extension of the projection-based approach recently used to analyse the HDG method for the purely diffusive case. In particular, for approximations of degree k on all elements and conforming meshes, we show that the order of convergence of the error in the diffusive flux is k + 1 and that of a projection of the error in the scalar unknown is 1 for k = 0 and k + 2 for k 〉 0. When nonconforming meshes are used our estimates do not rule out a degradation of 1/2 in the order of convergence in the diffusive flux and a loss of 1 in the order of convergence of the projection of the error in the scalar variable. However, they do guarantee the optimal convergence of order k + 1 of the scalar variable.

    Description: Fast multigrid solvers are considered for the linear systems arising from the bilinear finite element discretizations of second-order elliptic equations with anisotropic diffusion. Optimal convergence of Vcycle multigrid methods in the semicoarsening case and nearly optimal convergence of V-cycle multigrid method with line smoothing in the uniformly-coarsening case are established using the Xu-Zikatanov identity. Since the ‘regularity assumption’ is not used in the analysis, the results can be extended to general domains consisting of rectangles.

    Description: In this paper we consider a class of incompressible viscous fluids whose viscosity depends on the shear rate and pressure. We deal with isothermal steady flow and analyse the Galerkin discretization of the corresponding equations. We discuss the existence and uniqueness of discrete solutions and their convergence to the solution of the original problem. In particular, we derive a priori error estimates, which provide optimal rates of convergence with respect to the expected regularity of the solution. Finally, we demonstrate the achieved results by numerical experiments. The fluid models under consideration appear in many practical problems, for instance, in elastohydrodynamic lubrication where very high pressures occur. Here we consider shear-thinning fluid models similar to the power-law/Carreau model. A restricted sublinear dependence of the viscosity on the pressure is allowed. The mathematical theory concerned with the self-consistency of the governing equations has emerged only recently. We adopt the established theory in the context of discrete approximations. To our knowledge, this is the first analysis of the finite element method for fluids with pressure-dependent viscosity. The derived estimates coincide with the optimal error estimates established recently for Carreau-type models, which are covered as a special case.

    Description: Discrete maximum principles (DMPs) are established for finite element approximations of systems of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations with mixed boundary and interface conditions. The results are based on an algebraic DMP for suitable systems of ordinary differential equations.
