On the Stochastic Response of a Fractionally-damped Duffing Oscillator
2012
A numerical method is presented to compute the response of a viscoelastic Duffing oscillator with fractional derivative damping, subjected to a stochastic input. The key idea involves an appropriate discretization of the fractional derivative, based on a preliminary change of variable, that allows to approximate the original system by an equivalent system with additional degrees of freedom, the number of which depends on the discretization of the fractional derivative. Unlike the original system that, due to the presence of the fractional derivative, is governed by non-ordinary differential equations, the equivalent system is governed by ordinary differential equations that can be readily h…
On the numerical solution of axisymmetric domain optimization problems by dual finite element method
1994
Shape optimization of an axisymmetric three-dimensional domain with an elliptic boundary value state problem is solved. Since the cost functional is given in terms of the cogradient of the solution, a dual finite element method based on the minimum of complementary energy principle is used. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
The MAST FV/FE scheme for the simulation of two-dimensional thermohaline processes in variable-density saturated porous media
2009
A novel methodology for the simulation of 2D thermohaline double diffusive processes, driven by heterogeneous temperature and concentration fields in variable-density saturated porous media, is presented. The stream function is used to describe the flow field and it is defined in terms of mass flux. The partial differential equations governing system is given by the mass conservation equation of the fluid phase written in terms of the mass-based stream function, as well as by the advection-diffusion transport equations of the contaminant concentration and of the heat. The unknown variables are the stream function, the contaminant concentration and the temperature. The governing equations sy…
Asymptotic preserving IMEX finite volume schemes for low Mach number Euler equations with gravitation
2017
In this paper we will present and analyze a new class of the IMEX finite volume schemes for the Euler equations with a gravity source term. We will in particular concentrate on a singular limit of weakly compressible flows when the Mach number M1. In order to efficiently resolve slow dynamics we split the whole nonlinear system in a stiff linear part governing the acoustic and gravity waves and a non-stiff nonlinear part that models nonlinear advection effects. For time discretization we use a special class of the so-called globally stiffly accurate IMEX schemes and approximate the stiff linear operator implicitly and the non-stiff nonlinear operator explicitly. For spatial discretization t…

We propose and study a numerical scheme for bounded distributional solutions of the initial boundary value problem for the anomalous diffusion equation ∂t u +Lμu = 0 in a bounded domain supplemented with inhomogeneous boundary conditions. Here Lμ is a class of nonlocal operators including fractional Laplacian. ⃝c 2019 InternationalAssociation forMathematics andComputers in Simulation (IMACS).

A normalized iterative Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method
2020
Abstract In this paper we investigate on a normalized iterative approach to improve the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) estimate of a function. The method iterates on the residuals of an initial SPH approximation to obtain a more accurate solution. The iterative strategy preserves the matrix-free nature of the method, does not require changes on the kernel function and it is not affected by disordered data distribution. The iterative refinement is further improved by ensuring linear approximation order to the starting iterative values. We analyze the accuracy and the convergence of the method with the standard and normalized formulation giving evidence of the enhancements obtained wit…
Inversion Formulas for the Discretized Hilbert Transform on the Unit Circle
1998
A discrete version of the Hilbert transform on the unit circle is considered. Its Moore--Penrose inverse with respect to suitable scalar products is derived for different side conditions. Furthermore, stability of the pseudo-inverse is studied. These results allow the efficient computation of approximate solutions of singular integral equations with Hilbert kernel. Furthermore, the stability analysis of such methods becomes much easier even for graded meshes which are useful for weakly singular solutions.
A rescaling algorithm for the numerical solution to the porous medium equation in a two-component domain
2016
Abstract The aim of this paper is to design a rescaling algorithm for the numerical solution to the system of two porous medium equations defined on two different components of the real line, that are connected by the nonlinear contact condition. The algorithm is based on the self-similarity of solutions on different scales and it presents a space-time adaptable method producing more exact numerical solution in the area of the interface between the components, whereas the number of grid points stays fixed.
Hermite interpolation: The barycentric approach
1991
The barycentric formulas for polynomial and rational Hermite interpolation are derived; an efficient algorithm for the computation of these interpolants is developed. Some new interpolation principles based on rational interpolation are discussed.
Fractional differential equations solved by using Mellin transform
2014
In this paper, the solution of the multi-order differential equations, by using Mellin Transform, is proposed. It is shown that the problem related to the shift of the real part of the argument of the transformed function, arising when the Mellin integral operates on the fractional derivatives, may be overcame. Then, the solution may be found for any fractional differential equation involving multi-order fractional derivatives (or integrals). The solution is found in the Mellin domain, by solving a linear set of algebraic equations, whose inverse transform gives the solution of the fractional differential equation at hands.
