In this approach, the constraint partial differential equations could be solved by finite element methods on a domain with a solution-driven evolving boundary. Rigorous analysis for the stability and convergence of such finite element approximations is still missing from the literature due to the complex nonlinear dependence of the boundary evolution on the solution. In this article, rigorous analysis of numerical approximations to the evolution of the boundary in a prototypical shape gradient flow is addressed. First-order convergence in time and $k$th order convergence in space for finite elements of degree $kgeqslant 2$ are proved for a linearly semi-implicit evolving finite element algorithm up to a given time. The theoretical analysis is consistent with the numerical experiments, which also illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in simulating two- and three-dimensional boundary evolution under shape gradient flow. The extension of the formulation, algorithm and analysis to more general shape density functions and constraint partial differential equations is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":56295,"journal":{"name":"IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71509733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method employs a strong Itô–Taylor scheme for simulating SDE paths, and adaptively decreases the step size in the numerical integration as the solution approaches the boundary of the domain. These techniques complement each other nicely: adaptive timestepping improves the accuracy of the exit time by reducing the magnitude of the overshoot of the numerical solution when it exits the domain, and higher-order schemes improve the approximation of the state of the diffusion process. We present two versions of the higher-order adaptive method. The first one uses the Milstein scheme as the numerical integrator and two step sizes for adaptive timestepping: $h$ when far away from the boundary and $h^2$ when close to the boundary. The second method is an extension of the first one using the strong Itô–Taylor scheme of order 1.5 as the numerical integrator and three step sizes for adaptive timestepping. Under some regularity assumptions, we show that for any $xi>0$, the strong error is ${mathcal{O}}(h^{1-xi })$ and ${mathcal{O}}(h^{3/2-xi })$ for the first and second method, respectively. Provided quite restrictive commutativity conditions hold for the diffusion coefficient, we further show that the expected computational cost for both methods is ${mathcal{O}}(h^{-1} log (h^{-1}))$. This results in a near doubling/trebling of the strong error rate compared to the standard Euler–Maruyama-based approach, while the computational cost rate is kept close to order one. Numerical examples that support the theoretical results are provided, and we discuss the potential for extensions that would further improve the strong convergence rate of the method.","PeriodicalId":56295,"journal":{"name":"IMA Journal of Numerical Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71509777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to the local discontinuous Galerkin methods, the proposed scheme uses fewer auxiliary variables and is more computationally efficient. We prove several properties of the scheme. For example, we show that the scheme is unconditionally stable and that it achieves optimal convergence in $L^2$ norm for both the solution and the auxiliary variables without imposing penalty terms. A key part of the proof of the stability and convergence analysis is the special choice of the test function for the auxiliary equation involving the time derivative of the displacement variable, which leads to a linear system for the time evolution of the unknowns. Then we can use standard mathematical techniques in discontinuous Galerkin methods to obtain stability and optimal error estimates. We also obtain energy dissipation and/or conservation of the scheme by choosing simple and mesh-independent interelement fluxes.
