AbstractWe derive optimal-order homogenization rates for random nonlinear elliptic PDEs with monotone nonlinearity in the uniformly elliptic case. More precisely, for a random monotone operator on $$\mathbb {R}^d$$ R d with stationary law (that is spatially homogeneous statistics) and fast decay of correlations on scales larger than the microscale $$\varepsilon >0$$ ε > 0 , we establish homogenization error estimates of the order $$\varepsilon $$ ε in case $$d\geqq 3$$ d ≧ 3 , and of the order $$\varepsilon |\log \varepsilon |^{1/2}$$ ε | log ε | 1 / 2 in case $$d=2$$ d = 2 . Previous results in nonlinear stochastic homogenization have been limited to a small algebraic rate of convergence $$\varepsilon ^\delta $$ ε δ . We also establish error estimates for the approximation of the homogenized operator by the method of representative volumes of the order $$(L/\varepsilon )^{-d/2}$$ ( L / ε ) - d / 2 for a representative volume of size L. Our results also hold in the case of systems for which a (small-scale) $$C^{1,\alpha }$$ C 1 , α regularity theory is available.

AbstractThe major emphasis of this work is the derivation of a posteriori error estimates for the mixed finite volume discretization of second-order elliptic equations. The estimates are established for meshes consisting of simplices on unstructured grids. We consider diffusion problems with nonhomogeneous diffusion coefficients. The error estimates are of residual types and are formulated in the energy semi-norm for a locally postprocessed approximate solutions. The estimates are fully computable and locally efficient that they can serve as indicators for adaptive refinement and for the actual control of the error. Numerical results are shown for two test examples in two space dimensions. It is found that the proposed adaptive mixed finite volume method offers a robust and accurate approach for solving second-order elliptic equations, even when highly nonhomogeneous diffusion coefficients are used in the simulations.

We shall prove in Chapter I the hypoellipticity for a class of degenerate elliptic operators of higher order. Chapter II will be devoted to the consideration of the regularity at the boundary for the solutions of general boundary problems for the equations considered in Chapter I being restricted to the second order.

The problem of establishing oscillation and non-oscillation criteria for elliptic equations has recently been considered by several authors. Extensive bibliographies may be found in the books by C. A. Swanson, [7], and by K. Kreith, [3].Most of the interest has so far centered on equations of second order with some results also established for fourth order equations. Non-oscillation theorems for higher order equations have recently been established by the author, [1], and by Noussair and Yoshida, [5]. In particular, both in [1] and [5], Kneser-type theorems were established for classes of higher order elliptic equations.
