Parallel fictitious domain method for a non‐linear elliptic neumann boundary value problem

1999

Parallelization of the algebraic fictitious domain method is considered for solving Neumann boundary value problems with variable coefficients. The resulting method is applied to the parallel solution of the subsonic full potential flow problem which is linearized by the Newton method. Good scalability of the method is demonstrated on a Cray T3E distributed memory parallel computer using MPI in communication. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Complex powers of elliptic pseudodifferential operators

1986

The aim of this paper is the construction of complex powers of elliptic pseudodifferential operators and the study of the analytic properties of the corresponding kernels kS (x,y). For x=y, the case of principal interest, the domain of holomorphy and the singularities of kS (x,x) are shown to depend on the asymptotic expansion of the symbol. For classical symbols, kS (x,x) is known to be meromorphic on ℂ with simple poles in a set of equidistant points on the real axis. In the more general cases considered here, the singularities may be distributed over a half plane and kS (x,x) can not always be extended to337-2. An example is given where kS (x,x) has a vertical line as natural boundary.

Polaroid operators and Weyl type theorems

2015

Weyl type theorems have been proved for a considerably large number of classes of operators. In this work, after introducing the class of polaroid operators and some notions from local spectral theory, we determine a theoretical and general framework from which Weyl type theorems may be promptly established for many of these classes of operators. The theory is exemplified by given several examples of hereditarily polaroid operators.

Continuity of solutions of linear, degenerate elliptic equations

2009

We consider the simplest form of a second order, linear, degenerate, divergence structure equation in the plane. Under an integrability condition on the degenerate function, we prove that the solutions are continuous.

Orthogonal functions analysis of singular systems with impulsive responses

1990

Presents a systematic study using piecewise-constant orthogonal functions for the analysis of impulsive responses of singular systems. Walsh and block-pulse functions solutions are examined.

Nonlocalization Properties of Time Operators Transformations

2014

It is presented a general approach to the problem of extension of time operators and the associated Lambda transformations on singular measures. It is also shown that Lambda transformations defined on function spaces having the Urysohn property are non localized. Particular attention has been devoted to time and Lambda operators associated with the Walsh-Paley system and to a characterization of their domain and non locality.

Comparison between the shifted-Laplacian preconditioning and the controllability methods for computational acoustics

2010

Processes that can be modelled with numerical calculations of acoustic pressure fields include medical and industrial ultrasound, echo sounding, and environmental noise. We present two methods for making these calculations based on Helmholtz equation. The first method is based directly on the complex-valued Helmholtz equation and an algebraic multigrid approximation of the discretized shifted-Laplacian operator; i.e. the damped Helmholtz operator as a preconditioner. The second approach returns to a transient wave equation, and finds the time-periodic solution using a controllability technique. We concentrate on acoustic problems, but our methods can be used for other types of Helmholtz pro…

An algebraic multigrid based shifted-Laplacian preconditioner for the Helmholtz equation

2007

A preconditioner defined by an algebraic multigrid cycle for a damped Helmholtz operator is proposed for the Helmholtz equation. This approach is well suited for acoustic scattering problems in complicated computational domains and with varying material properties. The spectral properties of the preconditioned systems and the convergence of the GMRES method are studied with linear, quadratic, and cubic finite element discretizations. Numerical experiments are performed with two-dimensional problems describing acoustic scattering in a cross-section of a car cabin and in a layered medium. Asymptotically the number of iterations grows linearly with respect to the frequency while for lower freq…

A damping preconditioner for time-harmonic wave equations in fluid and elastic material

2009

A physical damping is considered as a preconditioning technique for acoustic and elastic wave scattering. The earlier preconditioners for the Helmholtz equation are generalized for elastic materials and three-dimensional domains. An algebraic multigrid method is used in approximating the inverse of damped operators. Several numerical experiments demonstrate the behavior of the method in complicated two-dimensional and three-dimensional domains. peerReviewed
