Space-time FEM-BEM couplings for parabolic transmission problems

Gregor Gantner: Thursday, 17th October at 11:00

Abstract:

In this talk, we discuss stable space-time FEM-BEM couplings [1] to numerically solve parabolic transmission problems on the full space and a finite time interval.
The couplings are based on the space-time FOSLS [2,3] in the interior and the space-time BEM [4] in the exterior.
In particular, we demonstrate coercivity of the couplings under certain restrictions and validate our theoretical findings by numerical experiments.
