A full space-time convergence order analysis of operator splittings for linear dissipative evolution equations

The Douglas--Rachford and Peaceman--Rachford splitting methods are common choices for temporal discretizations of evolution equations. In this paper we combine these methods with spatial discretizations fulfilling some easily verifiable criteria. In the setting of linear dissipative evolution equations we prove optimal convergence orders, simultaneously in time and space. We apply our abstract results to dimension splitting of a 2D diffusion problem, where a finite element method is used for spatial discretization. To conclude, the convergence results are illustrated with numerical experiments

Operator splitting for dissipative delay equations

We investigate Lie-Trotter product formulae for abstract nonlinear evolution equations with delay. Using results from the theory of nonlinear contraction semigroups in Hilbert spaces, we explain the convergence of the splitting procedure. The order of convergence is also investigated in detail, and some numerical illustrations are presented.Comment: to appear in Semigroup Foru

New versions of iterative splitting methods for the momentum equation

[EN] In this paper we propose some modifications in the schemes for the iterative splitting techniques defined in Geiser (2009) for partial differential equations and introduce the parallel version of these modified algorithms. Theoretical results related to the order of the iterative splitting for these schemes are obtained. In the numerical experiments we compare the obtained results by applying iterative methods to approximate the solutions of the nonlinear systems obtained from the discretization of the splitting techniques to the mixed convection-diffusion Burgers' equation and a momentum equation that models a viscous flow. The differential equations in each splitting interval are solved by the back-Euler-Newton algorithm using sparse matrices. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Convergence analysis of Strang splitting for Vlasov-type equations

A rigorous convergence analysis of the Strang splitting algorithm for Vlasov-type equations in the setting of abstract evolution equations is provided. It is shown that under suitable assumptions the convergence is of second order in the time step \tau. As an example, it is verified that the Vlasov-Poisson equation in 1+1 dimensions fits into the framework of this analysis. Also, numerical experiments for the latter case are presented.Comment: submitted to the SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysi
