AbstractA finite element Galerkin method for a diffusion equation with constrained energy and nonlinear boundary condition is analysed and optimal error estimates in L2 and L∞-norms are derived. These results improve upon previously derived estimates by Cannon et al. [4].

A differential inequality technique is used to determine a lower bound on the blow-up time for solutions to the heat equation subject to a nonlinear boundary condition when blow-up of the solution does occur. In addition, a sufficient condition which implies that blow-up does occur is determined.

We propose a new scheme for elasticity problems having discontinuity in the coefficients. In the previous work (Kwak et al., 2014), the authors suggested a method for solving such problems by finite element method using nonfitted grids. The proposed method is based on theP1-nonconforming finite element methods with stabilizing terms. In this work, we modify the method by adding the consistency terms, so that the estimates of consistency terms are not necessary. We show optimal error estimates inH1and divergence norms under minimal assumptions. Various numerical experiments also show optimal rates of convergence.
