Superconvergence for Neumann boundary control problems governed by semilinear elliptic equations
This paper is concerned with the discretization error analysis of semilinear
Neumann boundary control problems in polygonal domains with pointwise
inequality constraints on the control. The approximations of the control are
piecewise constant functions. The state and adjoint state are discretized by
piecewise linear finite elements. In a postprocessing step approximations of
locally optimal controls of the continuous optimal control problem are
constructed by the projection of the respective discrete adjoint state.
Although the quality of the approximations is in general affected by corner
singularities a convergence order of is proven for domains
with interior angles smaller than using quasi-uniform meshes. For
larger interior angles mesh grading techniques are used to get the same order
of convergence
An -Adaptive Newton-Galerkin Finite Element Procedure for Semilinear Boundary Value Problems
In this paper we develop an -adaptive procedure for the numerical
solution of general, semilinear elliptic boundary value problems in 1d, with
possible singular perturbations. Our approach combines both a prediction-type
adaptive Newton method and an -version adaptive finite element
discretization (based on a robust a posteriori residual analysis), thereby
leading to a fully -adaptive Newton-Galerkin scheme. Numerical experiments
underline the robustness and reliability of the proposed approach for various
examples.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1408.522
