Burak Aksoylu, David Bernstein, Stephen Bond, Michael Holst

摘要:

首先回顾了爱因斯坦约束方程的共形公式,然后考虑了自适应多层有限元型数值方法的设计、分析和实现。我们推导出弱配方的耦合约束,并审查了一些新的发展的解决方案理论的约束的情况下,恒定的平均外曲率(CMC)的数据,近CMC数据,和任意规定的平均外曲率数据。然后,我们概述了一些最近的结果先验和后验误差估计的广泛的一类Galerkin型逼近方法,该系统包括技术,如有限元,小波和谱方法。然后,我们使用这些估计构造一个自适应有限元方法(AFEM)数值求解这个系统,并概述了一些新的收敛性和最优性结果。然后,我们详细描述了使用FETK软件包,这是一个自适应的多级有限元代码,旨在解决非线性椭圆和抛物系统的黎曼流形的方法的实施。最后,我们描述了一个简单的网格生成算法紧凑的二进制对象,然后看看一个详细的例子,显示使用FETK的数值解的约束。

英文摘要:

The conformal formulation of the Einstein constraint equations is first reviewed, and we then consider the design, analysis, and implementation of adaptive multilevel finite element-type numerical methods for the resulting coupled nonlinear elliptic system. We derive weak formulations of the coupled constraints, and review some new developments in the solution theory for the constraints in the cases of constant mean extrinsic curvature (CMC) data, near-CMC data, and arbitrarily prescribed mean extrinsic curvature data. We then outline some recent results on a priori and a posteriori error estimates for a broad class of Galerkin-type approximation methods for this system which includes techniques such as finite element, wavelet, and spectral methods. We then use these estimates to construct an adaptive finite element method (AFEM) for solving this system numerically, and outline some new convergence and optimality results. We then describe in some detail an implementation of the methods using the FETK software package, which is an adaptive multilevel finite element code designed to solve nonlinear elliptic and parabolic systems on Riemannian manifolds. We finish by describing a simplex mesh generation algorithm for compact binary objects, and then look at a detailed example showing the use of FETK for numerical solution of the constraints.
