Explicit preconditioned domain decomposition schemes for solving nonlinear boundary value problems

AbstractA new class of inner-outer iterative procedures in conjunction with Picard-Newton methods based on explicit preconditioning iterative methods for solving nonlinear systems is presented. Explicit preconditioned iterative schemes, based on the explicit computation of a class of domain decomposition generalized approximate inverse matrix techniques are presented for the efficient solution of nonlinear boundary value problems on multiprocessor systems. Applications of the new composite scheme on characteristic nonlinear boundary value problems are discussed and numerical results are given

Efficient high-order iterative methods for solving nonlinear systems and their application on heat conduction problems

[EN] For solving nonlinear systems of big size, such as those obtained by applying finite differences for approximating the solution of diffusion problem and heat conduction equations, three-step iterative methods with eighth-order local convergence are presented. The computational efficiency of the new methods is compared with those of some known ones, obtaining good conclusions, due to the particular structure of the iterative expression of the proposed methods. Numerical comparisons are made with the same existing methods, on standard nonlinear systems and a nonlinear one-dimensional heat conduction equation by transforming it in a nonlinear system by using finite differences. From these numerical examples, we confirm the theoretical results and show the performance of the presented schemes.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad MTM2014-52016-C2-2-P and by Generalitat Valenciana PROMETEO/2016/089.Cordero Barbero, A.; Gómez, E.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.

Preconditioned fully implicit PDE solvers for monument conservation

Mathematical models for the description, in a quantitative way, of the damages induced on the monuments by the action of specific pollutants are often systems of nonlinear, possibly degenerate, parabolic equations. Although some the asymptotic properties of the solutions are known, for a short window of time, one needs a numerical approximation scheme in order to have a quantitative forecast at any time of interest. In this paper a fully implicit numerical method is proposed, analyzed and numerically tested for parabolic equations of porous media type and on a systems of two PDEs that models the sulfation of marble in monuments. Due to the nonlinear nature of the underlying mathematical model, the use of a fixed point scheme is required and every step implies the solution of large, locally structured, linear systems. A special effort is devoted to the spectral analysis of the relevant matrices and to the design of appropriate iterative or multi-iterative solvers, with special attention to preconditioned Krylov methods and to multigrid procedures. Numerical experiments for the validation of the analysis complement this contribution.Comment: 26 pages, 13 figure

A family of parametric schemes of arbitrary even order for solving nonlinear models

[EN] Many problems related to gas dynamics, heat transfer or chemical reactions are modeled by means of partial differential equations that usually are solved by using approximation techniques. When they are transformed in nonlinear systems of equations via a discretization process, this system is big-sized and high-order iterative methods are specially useful. In this paper, we construct a new family of parametric iterative methods with arbitrary even order, based on the extension of Ostrowski' and Chun's methods for solving nonlinear systems. Some elements of the proposed class are known methods meanwhile others are new schemes with good properties. Some numerical tests confirm the theoretical results and allow us to compare the numerical results obtained by applying new methods and known ones on academical examples. In addition, we apply one of our methods for approximating the solution of a heat conduction problem described by a parabolic partial differential equation.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad MTM2014-52016-C02-2-P and FONDOCYT 2014-1C1-088 Republica Dominicana.Cordero Barbero, A.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.; Vassileva, MP.

Memory in a new variant of King's family for solving nonlinear systems

[EN] In the recent literature, very few high-order Jacobian-free methods with memory for solving nonlinear systems appear. In this paper, we introduce a new variant of King's family with order four to solve nonlinear systems along with its convergence analysis. The proposed family requires two divided difference operators and to compute only one inverse of a matrix per iteration. Furthermore, we have extended the proposed scheme up to the sixth-order of convergence with two additional functional evaluations. In addition, these schemes are further extended to methods with memory. We illustrate their applicability by performing numerical experiments on a wide variety of practical problems, even big-sized. It is observed that these methods produce approximations of greater accuracy and are more efficient in practice, compared with the existing methods.This research was supported by PGC2018-095896-B-C22 (MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE).Kansal, M.; Cordero Barbero, A.; Bhalla, S.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.

Design and multidimensional extension of iterative methods for solving nonlinear problems

[EN] In this paper, a three-step iterative method with sixth-order local convergence for approximating the solution of a nonlinear system is presented. From Ostrowski¿s scheme adding one step of Newton with ¿frozen¿ derivative and by using a divided difference operator we construct an iterative scheme of order six for solving nonlinear systems. The computational efficiency of the new method is compared with some known ones, obtaining good conclusions. Numerical comparisons are made with other existing methods, on standard nonlinear systems and the classical 1D-Bratu problem by transforming it in a nonlinear system by using finite differences. From this numerical examples, we confirm the theoretical results and show the performance of the presented scheme.This research was partially supported by Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad MTM2014-52016-C2-2-P and FONDOCYT 2014-1C1-088 Republica Dominicana.Artidiello, S.; Cordero Barbero, A.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.; Vassileva, MP.

On a Variational Method for Stiff Differential Equations Arising from Chemistry Kinetics

For the approximation of stiff systems of ODEs arising from chemistry kinetics, implicit integrators emerge as good candidates. This paper proposes a variational approach for this type of systems. In addition to introducing the technique, we present its most basic properties and test its numerical performance through some experiments. The main advantage with respect to other implicit methods is that our approach has a global convergence. The other approaches need to ensure convergence of the iterative scheme used to approximate the associated nonlinear equations that appear for the implicitness. Notice that these iterative methods, for these nonlinear equations, have bounded basins of attraction

A new class of iterative processes for solving nonlinear systems by using one divided differences operator

[EN] In this manuscript, a new family of Jacobian-free iterative methods for solving nonlinear systems is presented. The fourth-order convergence for all the elements of the class is established, proving, in addition, that one element of this family has order five. The proposed methods have four steps and, in all of them, the same divided difference operator appears. Numerical problems, including systems of academic interest and the system resulting from the discretization of the boundary problem described by Fisher's equation, are shown to compare the performance of the proposed schemes with other known ones. The numerical tests are in concordance with the theoretical results.This research has been supported partially by Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades PGC2018-095896-B-C22, PGC2018-094889-B-I00, TEC2016-79884-C2-2-R and also by Spanish grant PROMETEO/2016/089 from Generalitat Valenciana.Cordero Barbero, A.; Jordan-Lluch, C.; Sanabria-Codesal, E.; Torregrosa Sánchez, JR.
