Transient And Steady State

We apply the mixed Petrov–Galerkin formulation to construct finite element approximations for transient and steady-state creep problems. With the new approach we recover stability, convergence, and accuracy of some Galerkin unstable approximations. We also present the main results on the numerical analysis and error estimates of the proposed finite element approximation for the steady problem, and discuss the asymptotic behavior of the continuum and discrete transient problems.

Abstract In this paper we introduce and analyze a mixed finite-element approach for a coupled bulk-surface problem of second order with a Wentzell boundary condition. The problem is formulated on a domain with a curved smooth boundary. We introduce a mixed formulation that is equivalent to the usual weak formulation. Furthermore, optimal a priori error estimates between the exact solution and the finite-element approximation are derived. To this end, the curved domain is approximated by a polyhedral domain introducing an additional geometrical error that has to be bounded. A computational result confirms the theoretical findings.
