TLDR
A finite difference technique on rectangular cell-centered grids with local refinement is proposed in order to derive discretizations of second-order elliptic equations of divergence type approximating the so-called balance equa1 1/2 tion.
Abstract
A finite difference technique on rectangular cell-centered grids with local refinement is proposed in order to derive discretizations of second-order elliptic equations of divergence type approximating the so-called balance equa1 1/2 tion. Error estimates in a discrete H -norm are derived of order h ' for a simple symmetric scheme, and of order h ' for both a nonsymmetric and a more accurate symmetric one, provided that the solution belongs to H +a for a > \\ and a > \\ , respectively.

An adaptive, formally second order accurate version of the immersed boundary method

TL;DR: The results obtaining by the adaptive method show good qualitative agreement with simulation results obtained by earlier non-adaptive versions of the method, but the flow in the vicinity of the model heart valves indicates that the new methodology provides enhanced boundary layer resolution.

The mimetic finite difference method on polygonal meshes for diffusion-type problems ∗

TL;DR: New mimetic discretizations of diffusion-type equations (for instance, equations modeling single phase Darcy flow in porous media) on unstructured polygonal meshes are derived and the first order convergence rate and the second-order convergence rate for the pressure are demonstrated with numerical experiments.

On convergence of block-centered finite differences for elliptic-problems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider linear, selfadjoint, elliptic problems with Neumann boundary conditions in rectangular domains and demonstrate that with sufficiently smooth data, the discrete $L^2 $-norm errors for tensor product block-centered finite differences in both the approximate solution and its first derivatives are second-order for all nonuniform grids.

Bounds for a class of linear functionals with applications to Hermite interpolation

TL;DR: In this article, a general estimation theorem is given for a class of linear functionals on Sobolev spaces, which are those which annihilate certain classes of polynomials, and an interpolation scheme of Hermite type is defined in N-dimensions.
