Local Projection-Based Stabilized Mixed Finite Element Methods for Kirchhoff Plate Bending Problems by Xuehai Huang

“…Then we design an a posteriori error estimator which is closely related to the equilibrium equation, constitutive equation, and nonconformity of the finite element spaces. With the help of Zienkiewicz-Guzmán-Neilan element spaces, we prove the reliability of the a posteriori error estimator. …”

Strong Convergence Theorems for Zeros of Bounded Maximal Monotone Nonlinear Operators by C. E. Chidume, N. Djitté

“…An iteration process studied by Chidume and Zegeye 2002 is proved to converge strongly to a solution of the equation Au=0 where A is a bounded m-accretive operator on certain real Banach spaces E that include Lp spaces 2≤p<∞. The iteration process does not involve the computation of the resolvent at any step of the process and does not involve the projection of an initial vector onto the intersection of two convex subsets of E, setbacks associated with the classical proximal point algorithm of Martinet 1970, Rockafellar 1976 and its modifications by various authors for approximating of a solution of this equation. …”

Investigation on Nonuniform Extension of Hydraulic Fracture in Shale Gas Formation by Zhiheng Zhao, Youcheng Zheng, Yili Kang, Bo Zeng, Yi Song

“…It is implied that with the reduction of cluster number and the growth of cluster spacing and flow rate, the length and average width of interior fractures are inclined to increase due to the mitigation of stress shadowing effect, contributing to the lower standard deviation (SD) of fracture length, but too small cluster number or too large cluster spacing is not recommended. …”
