Positive nonlinear CVFE scheme for degenerate anisotropic Keller-Segel system

Abstract

Abstract. In this paper, a nonlinear control volume finite element (CVFE) scheme for a degenerate Keller-Segel model with anisotropic and heterogeneous diffusion tensors is proposed and analyzed. In this scheme, degrees of freedom are assigned to vertices of a primal triangular mesh, as in finite element methods. The diffusion term which involves an anisotropic and heterogeneous tensor is discretized on a dual mesh (Donald mesh) using the diffusion fluxes provided by the conforming finite element reconstruction on the primal mesh. The other terms are discretized using a nonclassical upwind finite volume scheme on the dual mesh. The scheme ensures the validity of the discrete maximum principle without any restriction on the transmissibility coefficients. The convergence of the scheme is proved under very general assumptions. Finally, some numerical experiments are carried out to prove the ability of the scheme to tackle degenerate anisotropic and heterogeneous diffusion problems over general meshes.Math. classification. 65N08, 65N30.

A positive cell vertex Godunov scheme for a Beeler–Reuter based model of cardiac electrical activity

“…Following [27,28], we give a precise definition of the CVFE scheme for the monodomain equations. We recall that Ω is an open, bounded, connected polygonal domain in R d , d = 2, with boundary Ω.…”

“…Now, we consider Equation (3.12) and we assume that (v n K ) K∈ and (w n+1 K ) K∈ exist. The existence of a solution (v n+1 K ) K∈ can be proved by a slight modification of the proof of Proposition 3.11 in [27] or Proposition 3.12 in [28], which rely on a topological degree argument.…”

Positivity-preserving finite volume scheme for compressible two-phase flows in anisotropic porous media: The densities are depending on the physical pressures

“…A proof on the first property is detailed in Lemma A.1. For the convergence results, it is sufficient to proceed as in [8,10]. Now, to evaluate the error between the analytical solution and the discrete one we compute the norms :…”

“…This approach was performed using the global pressure formulation for the system of interest where the gas density depends on the global pressure. The point is to view the elliptic part like a hyperbolic one as done in [8,10].…”

“…In , the author proposes and analyzes a finite‐volume scheme for a PKS system with additional cross‐diffusion. We refer to for the convergence of a positive nonlinear control volume finite element (CVFE) scheme for degenerate anisotropic PKS system.
