| Meta Title | "Numerical methods for fully nonlinear second order partial differentia" by Michael Joseph Neilan |
| Meta Description | This dissertation concerns the numerical approximations of solutions of fully nonlinear second order partial differential equations (PDEs). The numerical methods and analysis are based on a new concept of weak solutions called moment solutions, which unlike viscosity solutions, are defined by a constructive method called the vanishing moment method. The main idea of the vanishing moment method is to approximate fully nonlinear second order PDEs by a family of fourth order quasi-linear PDEs. Because the method is constructive, we can develop a wealth of convergent numerical discretization methods to approximate fully nonlinear second order PDEs. We first study the numerical approximation of the prototypical second order fully nonlilnear PDE, the Monge-Ampère equation, det(D²u) = f (> 0), using C¹ finite element methods, spectral Galerkin methods, mixed finite element methods, and a nonconforming Morley finite element method. We then generalize the analysis to other fully nonlinear second order PDEs including the nonlinear balance equation, a nonlinear formulation of semigeostrophic flow equations, and the equation of prescribed Gauss curvature. |
