Linear Differential

Numerical methods are useful for solving differential equations that model physical problems, for example, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, wave propagation, among others; especially when these cannot be solved by means of exact analysis techniques, since such problems present complex geometries, boundary or initial conditions, or involve non-linear differential equations. Currently, the number of problems that are modeled with partial differential equations are diverse and these must be addressed numerically, so that the results obtained are more in line with reality. In this work, a comparison of the classical numerical methods such as: the finite difference method (FDM) and the finite element method (FEM), with a modern technique of discretization called the mimetic method (MIM), or mimetic finite difference method or compatible method, is approached. With this comparison we try to conclude about the efficiency, order of convergence of these methods. Our analysis is based on a model problem with a one-dimensional boundary value, that is, we will study convection-diffusion equations in a stationary regime, with different variations in the gradient, diffusive coefficient and convective velocity.

Mimetic Finite Differences

In this paper we review some recent applications of the mimetic finite difference method to nonlinear problems (variational inequalities and quasilinear elliptic equations) and optimal control problems governed by linear elliptic partial differential equations. Several numerical examples show the effectiveness of mimetic finite differences in building accurate numerical approximations. Finally, driven by a real-world industrial application (the numerical simulation of the extrusion process) we explore possible further applications of the mimetic finite difference method to nonlinear Stokes equations and shape optimization/free-boundary problems.
