Strictly convergent algorithm for an elliptic equation with nonlocal and nonlinear boundary conditions

The paper describes a formally strictly convergent algorithm for solving a class of elliptic problems with nonlinear and nonlocal boundary conditions, which arise in modeling of the steady-state conductive-radiative heat transfer processes. The proposed algorithm has two levels of iterations, where inner iterations by means of the damped Newton method solve an appropriate elliptic problem with nonlinear, but local boundary conditions, and outer iterations deal with nonlocal terms in boundary conditions.

Optimal control in models with conductive‐radiative heat transfer

In this paper an optimal control problem for the elliptic boundary value problem with nonlocal boundary conditions is considered. It is shown that the weak solutions of the boundary value problem depend smoothly on the control parameter and that the cost functional of the optimal control problem is Frechet differentiable with respect to the control parameter. Optimalus valdymas modeliuose su laidžiu-radioaktyviu šilumos pernešimu Santrauka Darbe nagrinejamas nelokalaus kraštinio uždavinio optimalaus valdymo uždavinys. Parodyta, kad silpnasis kraštinio uždavinio sprendinys tolydžiai priklauso nuo valdomojo parametro, taigi, optimalaus valdymo tikslo funkcija yra diferencijuojama Freše prasme…

Convergence of the finite volume method for a conductive-radiative heat transfer problem

We show that the finite volume method rigorously converges to the solution of a conductive-radiative heat transfer problem with nonlocal and nonlinear boundary conditions. To get this result, we start by proving existence of solutions for a finite volume discretization of the original problem. Then, by obtaining uniform boundedness of discrete solutions and their discrete gradients with respect to mesh size, we finally get L 2type convergence of discrete solutions.
