In this paper, we develop discontinuous Galerkin methods with penalty terms, namaly symmetric interior penalty Galerkin methods to solve nonlinear parabolic equations. By introducing an appropriate projection of u onto finite element spaces, we prove the optimal convergence of the fully discrete discontinuous Galerkin approximations in ${\ell}^2(L^2)$ normed space.

In this paper, finite volume element methods for nonlinear parabolic problems are proposed and analyzed. Optimal order error estimates in $W^{1,p}$ and $L_p$ are derived for $2{\leq}p{\leq}{\infty}$. In addition, superconvergence for the error between the approximation solution and the generalized elliptic projection of the exact solution (or and the finite element solution) is also obtained.

This paper is devoted to simplified Tikhonov regularization for two kinds of parabolic equations, i.e., a sideways parabolic equation, and a two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problem. The measured data are assumed to be known approximately. We concentrate on the convergence rates of the simplified Tikhonov approximation of u(x, t) and its derivative $u_x$(x, t) of sideways parabolic equations at 0 $\leq$ x < 1, and that of two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problem at 0 < x $\leq$ 1, respectively.

In this paper, we study the first-order system least-squares (FOSLS) spectral method for parabolic partial differential equations. There were lots of least-squares approaches to solve elliptic partial differential equations using finite element approximation. Also, some approaches using spectral methods have been studied in recent. In order to solve the parabolic partial differential equations in parallel, we consider a parallel numerical method based on a hybrid method of the frequency-domain method and first-order system least-squares method. First, we transform the parabolic problem in the space-time domain to the elliptic problems in the space-frequency domain. Second, we solve each elliptic problem in parallel for some frequencies using the first-order system least-squares method. And then we take the discrete inverse Fourier transforms in order to obtain the approximate solution in the space-time domain. We will introduce such a hybrid method and then present a numerical experiment.

Most of parabolic approximation models employ a relatively limited open boundary condition in which there is no depth variation in the longshore direction outside of the computation domain so that Snell's law may be presumed to hold. Existing Kirby's condition belongs to this category and in the paper both modified Kirby's method and Dirichlet boundary condition are presented in detail and numerical results of three methods were shown. Judging from computation to wave propagations over a circular shoal in a constant depth, the method based on present Dirichlet boundary condition with fictitious numerical adjusting regions in both sides of the computation domain gives the least distorted amplitude ratio distribution.

In this paper we consider the nonlinear parabolic problems with mixed boundary condition. Under comparatively mild conditions of the coefficients related to the problem, we construct the discontinuous Galerkin approximation of the solution to the nonlinear parabolic problem. We discretize spatial variables and construct the finite element spaces consisting of discontinuous piecewise polynomials of which the semidiscrete approximations are composed. We present the proof of the convergence of the semidiscrete approximations in $L^{\infty}(H^1)$ and $L^{\infty}(L^2)$ normed spaces.

Hydraulic model experiments were conducted fur a series of regular and uni-directional irregular waves propagating over a submerged elliptic shoal. Two different sets of experiments have been studied； one considers regular wave transformation with no breaking, and the other considers uni-directional irregular wave with partial breaking on top of the shoal. The numerical experiments are also performed using a numerical model based on the parabolic approximation equation. The result of the numerical experiments are compared with that of hydraulic experiments.

In this paper, a new two dimensional (2D) analytical model of a Dual Material Gate tunnel field effect transistor (DMG TFET) is presented. The parabolic approximation technique is used to solve the 2-D Poisson equation with suitable boundary conditions. The simple and accurate analytical expressions for surface potential and electric field are derived. The electric field distribution can be used to calculate the tunneling generation rate and numerically extract tunneling current. The results show a significant improvement of on-current and reduction in short channel effects. Effectiveness of the proposed method has been confirmed by comparing the analytical results with the TCAD simulation results.

This paper is concerned with the investigation on the stability and convergence characteristics of the Crank-Nicolson-Galerkin scheme that is widely being employed for the numerical approximation of parabolic-type partial differential equations. Here, we present the theoretical analysis on its consistency and convergence, and we carry out the numerical experiments to examine the effect of the time-step size △t on the h- and P-convergence rates for various mesh sizes h and approximation orders P. We observed that the optimal convergence rates are achieved only when △t, h and P are chosen such that the total error is not affected by the oscillation behavior. In such case, △t is in linear relation with DOF, and furthermore its size depends on the singularity intensity of problems.

Low-frequency hi-static reverberation model (LHYREV-B, Low-frequency Hanyang univ. Reverberation model-Bistatic) based on the parabolic approximation for shallow water environment is presented. In this paper bistatic reverberation level is computed using the angle-independent scattering strength function and the wave-based acoustic model. The signal simulated by the LHYREV-B model is compared with the observed signals and it is shown that the LHYREV-B model provides a closer fit to the observed signals.
