1 Department of Mathematical Sciences Revision: April 11, 2015 Error Analyses of Stabilized Pseudo-Derivative MLS Methods Don French, M. Osorio and J. Clack Moving least square (MLS) methods are a popular type of meshfree approximation scheme. These MLS schemes, when combined with pseudo derivatives (PDs), are simpler and these PDs retain a similar structure to the MLS functions. PDMLS methods have been developed and implemented in both Galerkin and least squares (LS) frameworks for elasticity and fluids problems. Galerkin PDMLS implementations have low levels accuracy. The LS approach yields more appropriate rates of convergence. The existing literature on PDMLS schemes is entirely computational. In this talk we describe our theoretical error analysis results for PDMLS methods using both the Galerkin and LS approaches on a range of prototype differential equation problems as well as a simple fractional derivative problem. We introduce a special stabilization that remedies the Galerkin low accuracy issue and seems crucial for the effectiveness of PDMLS methods as well.

2 The Moving Least Squares Approach: Let Λ = {x 1, x 2,..., x N } in Ω = [0, 1] have distinct points, p(z) = {1, z, z 2,..., z m } T m ( ) y x k ( ) y x PU (x, y) = a k (x) = p T a(x) and U R (x) = PU (x, x) (m << N). R R k=0 N ( ) a(x) = {a 0 (x), a 1 (x),..., a m (x)} T xi x (PU ) 2 minimizes W (x, x i ) U(x i ). R i=1 with U = [U(x 1 ), U(x 2 ),..., U(x N )] T. Weight function W is smooth, nonnegative, max s R W (s) = 1 and Supp(W ) [ 1, 1]. N ( ) ( ) ( ) a(x) = M 1 xk x xk x (x)b(x) U where M(x) = W p p T xk x, R R R k=1 ( ) ( ) xi x xi x ith Column of B(x) = W p. R R (M(x) is m + 1 m + 1 and B(x) is m + 1 N.) Approximability of U R to U: There exist constants C 1 and C 2 independent of R such that U U R 0,2,Ω C 1 R m+1 and U U R 0,2,Ω C 2 R m (U smooth.) Note: There are several mesh and weight function assumptions. (E.g. For each x Ω there exists at least m + 1 distinct points from Λ in B R/2 (x). Often N = 2m/R.) 2

5 Pseudo-Derivatives: In PD schemes only the polynomial in P U is differentiated. MLS (Real) Derivative: U R (x) = d dx P U(x, x) = p T (0) d dx a(x) = pt (0) d dx Pseudo (Diffuse) Derivative: δu R (x) = lim y x Approximability of δ : PU (x, y) y = lim y x ( M 1 (x)b(x) U ) (= a 0 (x)).

6 Villon et al (2003) Div-Free PD Method: Incompressible Stokes Problem: ν U + P = f in Ω U = 0 in Ω U = 0 on Ω. Find div-free U which is zero on Ω such that U V da = f V da Ω Ω for all div-free V which are zero on Ω. Pseudo-Divergence Free Spaces: m = 1 case; they define ( ) ( ) P1 ( x, y) a00 ( x) + a 10 ( x)(y 1 /R) + a 01 ( x)(y 2 /R) ( u( x) ) ( P1 ( x, x) ) P 2 ( x, y) = b 00 ( x) + b 10 ( x)(y 1 /R) + b 01 ( x)(y 2 /R) and v( x) = P 2 ( x, x) and require, after a pseudo-divergence computation, y1 P 1 ( x, y) + y2 P 2 ( x, y) = 0 a 10 ( x) + b 01 ( x) = 0. This restricted solution form is then used in a Galerkin MLS formulation of the Incompressible Stokes Problem... 6

7 Yoon, Lee, Belytschko PDMLS X -Methods (2004, 2006, 2007): Suppose F S (z) exhibits a singular behavior in a PDE problem. scheme from with Yoon et al form an MLS type P U (x, y) = p T( y x) a(x) + c(x)fs (y) and u(x) = P U (x, x) R δu(x) = lim y x y P u (x, y) = 1 R a 1(x) + c(x)f S (x). A collocation method is formed for the problem by requiring the full (strong form) of the PDE with all Pseudo-Derivatives to hold at node points. Remark: Belytschko and co-authors state that Galerkin formulations with pseudo-derivatives have low accuracy. 7

8 Function Spaces V R : For nodal values v 1,..., v N associated with grid Λ = {x 1, x 2,..., x N } and parameter R we can develop local polynomials P v (x, y) and MLS function v(x) = P v (x, x) where ( ) y x P v (x, y) = p T b(x) with b(x) = M 1 (x)b(x) v. R Stabilization: For MLS functions v and z let P(v, z) = Ω [ l Λ(x;R) where Λ(x; R) = {l : x l [x R, x + R]}. (P v (x, x l ) v l )(P z (x, x l ) z l ) Lemma: There exists a constant C, independent of R, such that v δv 2 0,2,Ω C P R 2 v (x, x k ) v k 2 dx = C R2P(v, v). Ω k Λ(x;R) Lemma: There exists constant C independent of R such that ] dx (P(U R, U R )) 1/2 CR m+1 (U is smooth). (P and lemmas based on theory in Armentano & Duran (2001)). 8

9 BVP Stabilized Diffuse Galerkin Method (SDGM): { (au ) + ku = f on Ω = (0, 1), a(x) a 0 > 0, k > 0 U (0) = 0, U (1) = 0. Weak Form: Find U H 1 (Ω) such that (au, V ) + (ku, V ) = (f, V ) V H 1 (Ω) where (Z, W ) = (SDGM) Find MLS function u so that (a δu, δβ) + (ku, β) + R 2γ P(u, β) = (f, β). for all MLS functions β. Find MLS function u that minimizes Ω Z(x)W (x) dx. (γ > 0) J(v) = (a δv, δv) + (kv, v) 2(f, v) + R 2γ P(v, v) (γ > 0) over MLS functions. Theorem: There exists a constant C independent of R such that, δu δu R 0,2,Ω CR m/2, (γ = m/2 + 1 and U smooth.). 9

11 Proof of Error Estimate δu δu R 0,2,Ω CR m/2 where γ = m/2 + 1: Let e = U R u and B(β, ζ) = (aδβ, δζ) + k(β, ζ) U u 0,2,Ω e 0,2,Ω + U R U 0,2,Ω and since e is an MLS function B(U R, e) = ( (f, e) [ (au, e ) + k(u, e) ]) + [ (aδu R, δe) + k(u R, e) ] And substituting gives = (f, e) + (au, δe e ) + (a(δu R U ), δe) + k(u R U, e) (f, e) = B(u, e) + R 2γ( ) P(u, U R ) P(u, u) B(e, e) + R 2γ P(u, u) = (au, δu R U R ) (au, δu u ) Since We find + [ (aδu R U, δe) + k(u R U, e) ] + R 2γ P(u, U R ) B(e, e) = δe 2 0,2,Ω + k e 2 0,2,Ω. δe 2 + k e 2 0,2,Ω + R 2γ P(u, u) CR m + C ɛ R 2m + ɛ( δe 2 0,2,Ω + k e 2 0,2,Ω ) +C δu u 0,2,Ω + ɛr 2γ P(u, u) + C ɛ R 2γ P(U R, U R ). Then, from the stabilization lemma, δu u 0,2,Ω C ɛ R 2(γ 1) + ɛr 2γ R 2 δu u 2 0,2,Ω C ɛr 2(γ 1) + ɛr 2γ P(u, u). Choosing γ = m/2+1 and using P(U R, U R ) CR 2m+2 ( 2(γ 1) = m and 2γ+2m+2 = m) provides the error estimate. 11
