4 Introduction : A parabolic model problem Let Q = Q T := Ω (0, T ) be our space-time cylinder and Σ := Ω (0, T ), Σ 0 := Ω {0} and Σ T := Ω {T }. Then: Given f, g, ν and u 0, find u such that u t (x, t) div x(ν(x, t) x u(x, t)) =f(x, t), (x, t) Q, u(x, t) =g(x, t) = 0, (x, t) Σ, u(x, 0) =u 0 (x) = 0, x Ω, where ν is a given uniformly positive and bounded coefficient. Examples: diffusion, heat-conduction and 2D eddy current. A. Schafelner JKU Linz 3 / 39

A. Schafelner JKU Linz 5 / 39

8 Space-time Variational Formulations : Space-time Variational Formulations II several ways to obtain wellposedness of the continuous problem Space-time v.f. in Sobolev spaces on the space-time cylinder, see, e.g., Ladyšhenskaya! in H kx,kt (Q) + b.c. Space-time v.f. in Bochner spaces of abstract functions, see, e.g., Lions, Friedman! in H kt (0, T ; H kx (Ω)) + b.c. A. Schafelner JKU Linz 6 / 39

9 Space-time Variational Formulations : A (very) weak space-time variational formulation Find u H 1,0 0 (Q) s.t. a(u, v) = l(v) v H 1,1 0,0 (Q), with a(u, v) := u(x, t) t v(x, t) + ν(x, t) x u(x, t) x v(x, t) d(x, t), Q l(v) := f(x, t) v(x, t) d(x, t) + u 0 (x) v(x, 0) dx. Q Ω A. Schafelner JKU Linz 7 / 39

10 Space-time Variational Formulations : Regularity results from Ladyžhenskaya et al If u 0 L 2 (Ω), f L 2,1 (Q T ) := {v : T 0 v(, t) L 2 (Ω) dt < }, and 0 < ν ν(x, t) ν, then there exist a unique generalized solution u H 1,0 0 (Q T ) that is a generalized solution in V 1,0 2,0 (Q T ). For ν 1, f L 2 (Q T ) and u 0 H0 1 (Ω), Ladyžhenskaya proved that the generalized solution u even belongs to space H,1 0 (Q T ) = {v H 1 0 (Q T ) : x v L 2 (Q T )}, and continuously depends on t in the norm of the space H 1 0 (Ω). A. Schafelner JKU Linz 8 / 39

11 Space-time Variational Formulations : Maximal parabolic regularity For the class of problems t u div x (ν(x, t) x u) = f }{{} =Lu with u 0 = 0, we have maximal parabolic regularity if t u X + Lu X C f X, where X = L p (0, T ; L q (Ω)) = L p,q (Q), 1 < p, q <. For p = q = 2, we denote the space of such functions by H L,1 (Q) = {v L 2 (Q) : t u L 2 (Q) Lu L 2 (Q)}. A. Schafelner JKU Linz 9 / 39

12 Introduction Space-time Variational Formulations Space-time Finite Element Methods Numerical Experiments Conclusions & Outlook A. Schafelner JKU Linz 10 / 39

13 Space-time Finite Element Methods : Space-time FEM with time-upwind stabilization The main idea: for each element K, define individual upwind test function v h,t (x, t) := v h (x, t) + θ K h K t v h (x, t), for all (x, t) K, with θ K positive parameter, and h K := diam(k), for each element K, multiply the PDE by v h,t (x, t), sum up over all elements K, proceed as usual, IbyP, etc. A. Schafelner JKU Linz 10 / 39

14 Space-time Finite Element Methods : Derivation of the FE scheme Let u H L,1 (Q) be the solution of our IBVP, i.e. t u div x (ν x u) = f in L 2 (K). Multiplication of the PDE with v h,t, integration over a single element K, and summing up over all elements yields t u(v h + θ K h K t v h ) d(x, t) K T h K + div x (ν x u)(v h + θ K h K t v h ) d(x, t) K = f(v h + θ K h K t v h ) d(x, t) K T h K A. Schafelner JKU Linz 11 / 39

15 Space-time Finite Element Methods : Derivation of the FE scheme (cont.) The time derivative and the r.h.s. remain unchanged, IbyP wrt x on the div x -term gives us div x (ν x u)(v h + θ K h K t v h ) d(x, t) K = (ν x u) x v h + θ K h K (ν x u) x ( t v h ) d(x, t) K (n x (ν x u))v h + θ K h K (n x (ν x u)) t v h ds (x,t) K A. Schafelner JKU Linz 11 / 39

16 Space-time Finite Element Methods : Derivation of the FE scheme (cont.) We keep the volume integrals and take a closer look at the boundary terms. Summing again up gives (n x (ν x u)) v h ds (x,t) + θ K h K (n x (ν x u)) t v h ds (x,t) K T h K If u is sufficiently smooth, we have at a common edge/face/volume K (n x (ν x u)) K = ( n x (ν x u) ) K A. Schafelner JKU Linz 11 / 39

17 Space-time Finite Element Methods : Derivation of the FE scheme (cont.) Hence, the first integral vanishes at all inner edges/faces/volumes. Since v h Σ = 0 and n x 0 on Σ 0 and Σ T, the first integral vanishes on the entire boundary Q = Σ Σ 0 Σ T, i.e., (n x (ν x u)) v h ds (x,t) = 0 K T h K The second boundary term however does not vanish, as in general θ K θ K and h K h K for K K. A. Schafelner JKU Linz 11 / 39

18 Space-time Finite Element Methods : The space-time FE scheme Find u h V 0h := {v C(Q) : v(x K ( )) P p (K), v Σ Σ0 = 0} : a h (u h, v h ) = l h (v h ), v h V 0h, (1) where a h (u h, v h ) := t u h v h + θ K h K t u h t v h d(x, t) K T h K + (ν x u h ) x v h + θ K h K (ν x u h ) x ( t v h ) d(x, t) K θ K h K (n x (ν x u h )) t v h ds (x,t), K l h (v h ) := f (v h + θ K h K t v h ) d(x, t). K T K h A. Schafelner JKU Linz 12 / 39

19 Space-time Finite Element Methods : Ellipticity = Stability Definition 3.1 (Mesh dependent norm). v h 2 h := K T h [ ν 1/2 x v h 2 L 2(K) + θ Kh K t v h 2 L 2(K)] v h 2 L 2(Σ T ). Lemma 3.2 (Coercivity on the FE space). There exits a constant µ a such that a h (v h, v h ) µ a v h 2 h, v h V 0h, with µ a = min K Th { 1 ci,divx νk θ K 4h K } 1 2 for θ K h K c 2 I,divx ν K, i.e., µ a = 1 2 for θ K = h K c 2 I,divx ν K. A. Schafelner JKU Linz 13 / 39

20 Space-time Finite Element Methods : The constant c I,divx the constant c I,divx comes from the inverse inequality div x (νw h ) L2 (K) c I,divx h 1 K νw h L2 (K), w h W h K, with W h K := {w h : w h = x v h, v h V 0h K } and ν W (T 1 h ), c I,divx is independent of h K, but depends on polynomial degree p and the dimension d, c I,divx is computable! to be precise, we can compute a sharp lower bound for c I,divx h 1 K A. Schafelner JKU Linz 14 / 39

21 Space-time Finite Element Methods : The constant c I,divx ci,divx 10 1 Values of c I,divx p d = 1 d = 2, min d = 2, max d = 3, min d = 3, max p 2 on the coarsest triangulation of the d + 1 hypercube. A. Schafelner JKU Linz 14 / 39

22 Space-time Finite Element Methods : Boundedness Definition 3.3. v 2 h, = v 2 h + [ (θk h K ) 1 v 2 L 2 (K) + θ Kh K v 2 ] H 2 (K) K T h Lemma 3.4. The bilinear form a h (.,. ) is uniformly bounded on V 0h, V 0h, i.e., a h (u, v h ) µ b u h, v h h, where V 0h, := V 0h + H 2 (T h ) H 1,0 0 (Q), and µ b = { max K Th 2(1 + θk h 1 K c2 ν 2 K T r ν ), 2c 2 K T r ν2 K, 2 + c2 I,1, 1 + (c I,νθ K ) 2} 1/2 that is bounded provided that θ K = O(h K ). A. Schafelner JKU Linz 15 / 39

23 Space-time Finite Element Methods : A Cea-like estimate Lemma 3.5. Let u V 0 H 2 (T h ) be the exact solution, and u h V 0h the solution of the finite element scheme (1). Then there holds the Cea-like estimate u u h h ( 1 + µ ) b µ a inf v h V 0h u v h h, Remark. We can again weaken the assumptions on u, in particular, it is enough to require u H L,1 (Q). A. Schafelner JKU Linz 16 / 39

24 Space-time Finite Element Methods : An a prior error estimate I Theorem 3.6. Let s and k be positive integers with s [2, p + 1] and k > (d + 1)/2. Furthermore, let u V 0 H k (Q) H s (T h ) be the exact solution, and u h V 0h the solution of the finite element scheme (1). Then there holds the a priori error estimate ( 1/2 u u h h c h 2(s 1) K u 2 H (K)) s. (2) K T h A. Schafelner JKU Linz 17 / 39

25 Space-time Finite Element Methods : An a prior error estimate II Remark. u H k (Q) with k > (d + 1)/2 is a rather strong assumption needed because of Lagrange Interpolant Π h can be weakened Duan et al. have shown (v I h v) L2 (Q) C M i=1 for v H s (T (Q)) with s = (s 1,..., s M ) and h s i 1 i v H s i(qi ), H s (T (Q)) := {v L 2 (Q) : v Qi H si (Q i ), for all i = 1,..., M} A.
