\(r\)-refinement for evolutionary PDEs with finite elements or finite differences (Q1379048): Difference between revisions

The author establishes the main differences and similarities with respect to the grid properties of two methods from the class of \(r\)-refinements methods, namely, moving finite elements and moving finite differences. The usefulness of \(r\)-refinement, even in 1D, is shown by considering a reaction-diffusion system for two irreversible chemical reactions. The effect of collapsing grids in 2D is considered in connection with a first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation.
