Findings from Shandong University Provide New Insights into Numerical Analysis

  2012 APR 17 - (VerticalNews.com) -- "For the transient behavior of a semiconductor device, the modified method of characteristics finite element alternating-direction procedures with moving meshes are put forward," researchers in Shandong, People's Republic of China report.

  "Some techniques, such as calculus of variations, operator-splitting, characteristic method, generalized L-2 projection, energy method, negative norm estimate and prior estimates and techniques are employed. Optimal order estimates in L-2 norm are derived for the error in the approximation solution," wrote Y.R. Yuan and colleagues, Shandong University.

  The researchers concluded: "Thus the well-known theoretical problem has been thoroughly and completely solved."

  Yuan and colleagues published their study in International Journal of Numerical Analysis and Modeling (The Characteristic Finite Element Alternating-direction Method With Moving Meshes For The Transient Behavior Of A Semiconductor Device. International Journal of Numerical Analysis and Modeling, 2012;9(1):86-104).
