This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays there is an increasing emphasis on all aspects of adaptively gener ating a grid that evolves with the solution of a PDE. Another challenge is to develop efficient higher-order one-step integration methods which can handle very stiff equations and which allow us to accommodate a spatial grid in each time step without any specific difficulties. In this monograph a combination of both error-controlled grid refinement and one-step methods of Rosenbrock-type is presented. It is my intention to impart the beauty and complexity found in the theoretical investigation of the adaptive algorithm proposed here, in its realization and in solving non-trivial complex problems. I hope that this method will find many more interesting applications. Berlin-Dahlem, May 2000 Jens Lang Acknowledgements I have looked forward to writing this section since it is a pleasure for me to thank all friends who made this work possible and provided valuable input. I would like to express my gratitude to Peter Deuflhard for giving me the oppor tunity to work in the field of Scientific Computing. I have benefited immensly from his help to get the right perspectives, and from his continuous encourage ment and support over several years. He certainly will forgive me the use of Rosenbrock methods rather than extrapolation methods to integrate in time.
Download or read book Constrained Optimization and Optimal Control for Partial Differential Equations written by Günter Leugering and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special volume focuses on optimization and control of processes governed by partial differential equations. The contributors are mostly participants of the DFG-priority program 1253: Optimization with PDE-constraints which is active since 2006. The book is organized in sections which cover almost the entire spectrum of modern research in this emerging field. Indeed, even though the field of optimal control and optimization for PDE-constrained problems has undergone a dramatic increase of interest during the last four decades, a full theory for nonlinear problems is still lacking. The contributions of this volume, some of which have the character of survey articles, therefore, aim at creating and developing further new ideas for optimization, control and corresponding numerical simulations of systems of possibly coupled nonlinear partial differential equations. The research conducted within this unique network of groups in more than fifteen German universities focuses on novel methods of optimization, control and identification for problems in infinite-dimensional spaces, shape and topology problems, model reduction and adaptivity, discretization concepts and important applications. Besides the theoretical interest, the most prominent question is about the effectiveness of model-based numerical optimization methods for PDEs versus a black-box approach that uses existing codes, often heuristic-based, for optimization.

Download or read book Adaptive Finite Elements in the Discretization of Parabolic Problems written by Christian A. Möller and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2011 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptivity is a crucial tool in state-of-the-art scientific computing. However, its theoretical foundations are only understood partially and are subject of current research. This self-contained work provides theoretical basics on partial differential equations and finite element discretizations before focusing on adaptive finite element methods for time dependent problems. In this context, aspects of temporal adaptivity and error control are considered in particular. Based on the gained insights, a specific adaptive algorithm is designed and analyzed thoroughly. Most importantly, it is proven that the presented adaptive method terminates within any demanded error tolerance. Moreover, the developed algorithm is analyzed from a numerical point of view and its performance is compared to well-known standard methods. Finally, it is applied to the real-life problem of concrete carbonation, where two different discretizations are compared.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optimization problems subject to constraints governed by partial differential equations (PDEs) are among the most challenging problems in the context of industrial, economical and medical applications. Almost the entire range of problems in this field of research was studied and further explored as part of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) priority program 1253 on “Optimization with Partial Differential Equations” from 2006 to 2013. The investigations were motivated by the fascinating potential applications and challenging mathematical problems that arise in the field of PDE constrained optimization. New analytic and algorithmic paradigms have been developed, implemented and validated in the context of real-world applications. In this special volume, contributions from more than fifteen German universities combine the results of this interdisciplinary program with a focus on applied mathematics. The book is divided into five sections on “Constrained Optimization, Identification and Control”, “Shape and Topology Optimization”, “Adaptivity and Model Reduction”, “Discretization: Concepts and Analysis” and “Applications”. Peer-reviewed research articles present the most recent results in the field of PDE constrained optimization and control problems. Informative survey articles give an overview of topics that set sustainable trends for future research. This makes this special volume interesting not only for mathematicians, but also for engineers and for natural and medical scientists working on processes that can be modeled by PDEs.
Download or read book Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Parabolic Systems in One and Two Space Dimensions written by Slimane Adjerid and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptive finite element methods are given for solving initial boundary value problems for vector systems of parabolic partial differential equations in one- and two-space dimensions. One-dimension systems are discretized using piecewise linear finite element approximations in space and a backward difference code for stiff ordinary differential systems in time. A spatial error estimate is calculated using piecewise quadratic approximations that employ nodal superconvergence to increase computational efficiency. This error estimate is used to move and refine the finite element mesh in order to equidistribute a measure of the total spatial error and to satisfy a prescribed error tolerance. Ordinary differential equations for the spatial error estimate and the mesh motion are integrated in time using the same backward difference software that is used to determine the finite element solution. Two-dimension systems are discretized using piecewise bilinear finite element approximations in space and backward difference software in time. A spatial error estimate is calculated using piecewise cubic approximations that take advantage of nodal superconvergence. This error estimate is used to locally refine a stationary finite element mesh in order to satisfy a prescribed spatial error tolerance.

Download or read book Fluid structure Interactions written by Thomas Richter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-26 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book starts by introducing the fundamental concepts of mathematical continuum mechanics for fluids and solids and their coupling. Special attention is given to the derivation of variational formulations for the subproblems describing fluid- and solid-mechanics as well as the coupled fluid-structure interaction problem. Two monolithic formulations for fluid-structure interactions are described in detail: the well-established ALE formulation and the modern Fully Eulerian formulation, which can effectively deal with problems featuring large deformation and contact. Further, the book provides details on state-of-the-art discretization schemes for fluid- and solid-mechanics and considers the special needs of coupled problems with interface-tracking and interface-capturing techniques. Lastly, advanced topics like goal-oriented error estimation, multigrid solution and gradient-based optimization schemes are discussed in the context of fluid-structure interaction problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on PDE Constrained Optimization contains contributions on the mathematical analysis and numerical solution of constrained optimal control and optimization problems where a partial differential equation (PDE) or a system of PDEs appears as an essential part of the constraints. The appropriate treatment of such problems requires a fundamental understanding of the subtle interplay between optimization in function spaces and numerical discretization techniques and relies on advanced methodologies from the theory of PDEs and numerical analysis as well as scientific computing. The contributions reflect the work of the European Science Foundation Networking Programme ’Optimization with PDEs’ (OPTPDE).
Download or read book Adaptive Finite Element Method I Solution Algorithm and Computational Examples written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An adaptive finite element method is developed to solve initial boundary value problems for vector systems of parabolic partial differential equations in one space dimension and time. The differential equations are discretized in space using piecewise linear finite element approximations. Superconvergence properties and quadratic polynomials are used to derive a computation ally inexpensive approximation to the spatial component of the error. This technique is coupled with time integration schemes of successively higher orders to obtain an approximation of the temporal and total discretization errors. These approximate errors are used to control an adaptive mesh refinement strategy. Refinement is performed in space, time, or both space and time depending on the dominant component of the error estimate. A computer code coupling this refinement strategy and stable mesh movement has been written and applied to a number of problems. These computations confirm that proper mesh movement can reduce the computational efforts associated with mesh refinement.
Download or read book Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Parabolic Partial Differential Equations written by J. E. Flaherty and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors discuss a finite element method for solving initial-boundary value problems for vector systems of partial differential equations in one space dimension and time. The method automatically adjusts the computational mesh as the solution evolves in time so as to approximately minimize the local discretization error. They are thus able to calculate accurate solutions with fewer elements than would be necessary with a uniform mesh. This overall method contains two distinct steps: a solution step and a mesh selection step. They solve the partial differential equations using a finite element-Galerkin method on trapezoidal space-time-elements with either piecewise linear or cubic Hermits polynomial approximations. A variety of mesh selection strategies are discussed and analyzed. Results are presented for several computational examples.
