The Lotka-McKendrick model which describes the evolution of a single population is developed from the well known Malthus model. In this paper, we introduce the Lotka-McKendrick model. We approximate the solution to the model using hp-discontinuous Galerkin finite element method. The numerical results show that the presented hp-discontinuous Galerkin method is very efficient in case that the solution has a sharp decay.

In this paper, we consider discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods with interior penalty term to approximate the solution of nonlinear parabolic problems with mixed boundary conditions. We construct the finite element spaces of the piecewise polynomials on which we define fully discrete discontinuous Galerkin approximations using the Crank-Nicolson method. To analyze the error estimates, we construct an appropriate projection which allows us to obtain the optimal order of a priori ${\ell}^{\infty}(L^2)$ error estimates of discontinuous Galerkin approximations in both spatial and temporal directions.

We formulate and study a finite element method for a linearized steady state, compressible, viscous Navier-Stokes equations in 2D, based on the discontinuous Galerkin method. Dislike the standard discontinuous galerkin method, we do not assume that the triangle sides be bounded away from the characteristic direction. the unique stability follows from the inf-sup condition established on the finite dimensional spaces for the (incompressible) Stokes problem. An error analysis having a jump discontinuity for pressure is shown.

In this paper, we propose an iterative method for a symmetric interior penalty Galerkin method for heterogeneous elliptic problems. The iterative method consists mainly of two parts based on a non-overlapping domain decomposition approach. One is an intermediate preconditioner constructed by understanding the properties of the discontinuous finite element functions and the other is a preconditioning related to the dual-primal finite element tearing and interconnecting (FETI-DP) methodology. Numerical results for the proposed method are presented, which demonstrate the performance of the iterative method in terms of various parameters associated with the elliptic model problem, the finite element discretization, and non-overlapping subdomain decomposition.

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, we analyze discontinuous Galerkin methods with penalty terms, namly symmetric interior penalty Galerkin methods, to solve nonlinear parabolic equations. We construct finite element spaces on which we develop fully discrete approximations using extrapolated Crank-Nicolson method. We adopt an appropriate elliptic-type projection, which leads to optimal ${\ell}^{\infty}$ ($L^2$) error estimates of discontinuous Galerkin approximations in both spatial direction and temporal direction.

A time-discontinuous Galerkin method based upon using a finite element formulation in time has evolved. This method, working from the differential equation viewpoint, is different from those which have been generally used. They admit discontinuities with respect to the time variable at each time step. In particular, the elements can be chosen arbitrarily at each time step with no connection with the elements corresponding to the previous step. Interpolation functions and weighting functions are taken to be discontinuous across inter-element boundaries. These methods lead to a unconditional stable higher-order accurate ordinary differential equation solver.

We consider a model of population dynamics whose mortality function is unbounded. We approximate the solution of the model using a discontinuous Galerkin finite element for the age variable and a backward Euler for the time variable. We present several numerical examples. It is experimentally shown that the scheme converges at the rate of $h^{3/2}$ in the case of piecewise linear polynomial space.

The Lotka-McKendrick equation which describes the evolution of a single population under the phenomenological conditions is developed from the well-known Malthus’model. In this paper, we introduce the Lotka-McKendrick equation for the description of the dynamics of a population. We apply a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method in age-time domain to approximate the solution of the system. We provide some numerical results. It is experimentally shown that, when the mortality function is bounded, the scheme converges at the rate of $h^2$ in the case of piecewise linear polynomial space. It is also shown that the scheme converges at the rate of $h^{3/2}$ when the mortality function is unbounded.

In this paper, we adopt discontinuous Galerkin methods with penalty terms namely symmetric interior penalty Galerkin methods, to solve nonlinear viscoelasticity type equations. We construct finite element spaces and define an appropriate projection of u and prove its optimal convergence. We construct extrapolated fully discrete discontinuous Galerkin approximations for the viscoelasticity type equation and prove ${\ell}^{\infty}(L^2)$ optimal error estimates in both spatial direction and temporal direction.
