  • In this paper we extend the mixed finite element method and its $L_2$-error estimate for postprocessed solutions by using Crank-Nicolson time-discretization method. Global $O(h^2+({\Delta}t)^2)$-superconvergence for the lowest order Raviart-Thomas element ($Q_0-Q_{1,0}{\times}Q_{0,1}$) are obtained. Numerical examples are presented to confirm superconvergence phenomena.

  • In this paper, we propose a two-level overlapping domain decomposition preconditioner for three dimensional vector field problems posed in H(div). We introduce a new coarse component, which reduces the computational complexity, associated with the coarse vertices. Numerical experiments are also presented.

  • In this paper we analyze an error estimator for the lowest-order triangular Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element which is based on solution of local problems for the error. This estimator was proposed in [Alonso, Error estimators for a mixed method, Numer. Math. 74 (1996), 385{395] and has a similar concept to that of Bank and Weiser. We show that it is asymptotically exact for the Poisson equation if the underlying triangulations are uniform and the exact solution is regular enough.

  • In this paper we present a postprocessing scheme for the Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element approximation of the second order elliptic eigenvalue problem. This scheme is carried out by solving a primal source problem on a higher order space, and thereby can improve the convergence rate of the eigenfunction and eigenvalue approximations. It is also used to compute a posteriori error estimates which are asymptotically exact for the $L^2$ errors of the eigenfunctions. Some numerical results are provided to confirm the theoretical results.

  • The approximation properties for $L^2$-projection, Raviart-Thomas projection, and inverse inequality have been derived in 3 dimensional space. h-p-mixed finite element methods for strongly nonlinear second order elliptic problems are proposed and analyzed in 3D. Solvability and convergence of the linearized problem have been shown through duality argument and fixed point argument. The analysis is carried out in detail using Raviart-Thomas-Nedelec spaces as an example.

  • The aim of this papaer is to prove the discrete compactness property for modified Raviart-Thomas element(MRT) of lowest order on quadrilateral meshes. Then MRT space can be used for eigenvalue problems, and is more efficient than the lowest order ABF space since it has less degrees of freedom.

  • We extend a p-hierarchical decomposition of the second degree finite element space of N$\acute{e}$d$\acute{e}$lec for tetrahedral meshes in three dimensions given in [1] to meshes with hexahedral elements, and derive p-hierarchical decompositions of the second degree finite element space of Raviart-Thomas in two dimensions for triangular and quadrilateral meshes. After having proved stability of these subspace decompositions and requiring certain saturation assumptions to hold, we construct a local a posteriori error estimator for fem and bem coupling of a time-harmonic electromagnetic eddy current problem in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We perform some numerical tests to underline reliability and efficiency of the estimator and test its usefulness in an adaptive refinement scheme.

  • An upstream scheme based on the pseudostress-velocity mixed formulation is studied to solve convection-dominated Oseen equations. Lagrange multipliers are introduced to treat the trace-free constraint and the lowest order Raviart-Thomas finite element space on rectangular mesh is used. Error analysis for several quantities of interest is given. Particularly, first-order convergence in $L^2$ norm for the velocity is proved. Finally, numerical experiments for various cases are presented to show the efficiency of this method.

  • In this paper we present an a posteriori error estimator for the stabilized P1 nonconforming finite element method of the linear elasticity problem based on a nonsymmetric H(div)-conforming approximation of the stress tensor in the first-order Raviart-Thomas space. By combining the equilibrated residual method and the hypercircle method, it is shown that the error estimator gives a fully computable upper bound on the actual error. Numerical results are provided to confirm the theory and illustrate the effectiveness of our error estimator.

  • In this paper, we discuss the a posteriori error estimates of the semidiscrete mixed finite element methods for quadratic optimal control problems governed by linear hyperbolic equations. The state and the co-state are discretized by the order $k$ Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is approximated by piecewise polynomials of order $k(k{\geq}0)$. Using mixed elliptic reconstruction method, a posterior $L^{\infty}(L^2)$-error estimates for both the state and the control approximation are derived. Such estimates, which are apparently not available in the literature, are an important step towards developing reliable adaptive mixed finite element approximation schemes for the control problem.
