Two-grid finite volume element method for linear and nonlinear elliptic problems.
(English)
[J] Numer. Math. 108, No. 2, 177-198 (2007). ISSN 0029-599X; ISSN 0945-3245/e

First the finite volume element method (FVEM) is applied to solve the two-dimensional problem $$-\nabla \cdot (\bold{a} \nabla u )+ \bold{b} \cdot \nabla u +cu=f \quad \text {in} \quad \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$$ $$u=0 \qquad \text {on} \quad \partial \Omega.$$ $\Omega$ is a convex bounded convex polygonal domain and {\bf a} symmetric and positive definite. The idea of the two-grid method is to reduce the non-selfadjoint and indefinite elliptic problem on a fine grid into a symmetric and positive definite elliptic problem on a fine grid by solving a non-selfadjoint and indefinite elliptic problem on a coarse grid. In the last section the authors consider the FVEM for the two-dimensional second-order nonlinear elliptic problem with homogeneous boundary condition for $$-\nabla \cdot (A(u) \nabla u )=f.$$
