Solution of Steady Incompressible MHD Problems with Quasi-Least Square Method
Abstract
1. Introduction
- The weak problems are, in general, coercive.
- Conforming discretizations lead to stable and, ultimately, optimally accurate methods.
- The resulting algebraic problems are symmetric and positive definite.
- Essential boundary conditions may be imposed in a weak sense.
- Finite element spaces of equal interpolation order, defined with respect to the same triangulation, can be used for all unknowns.
- Algebraic problems can be solved by using standard and robust iterative methods, such as conjugate gradient methods.
- Methods can be implemented without any matrix assemblies, even at the element level.
- Only a single parameter with a single initial guess is sufficient to establish the well-posedness of the solution. In the existing literature this is the first time we apply for this model.

4. QLSFES Convergence and Existence of the Solutions
- We demonstrate property of the bilinear function. For any parameter and are introduced in such a way that there exists a bounded function set that is well defined and continuous as and holds in this bounded domain.
- In step two, we find out a large domain of bounded functions which holds all solutions of the System (8)–(13). We intend to solve the nonlinear coupled equations by the right choice of and ,and is well-defined as and are in this large domain of functions.
- To show the well-posedness of the proposed scheme QLSFES, we establish the nonlinear plan of the scheme in such a way that the solutions under some nominated domain are fixed points. In step one and step two, we summarize that for a specific value of and , the system of the nonlinear model is distinctively executable in this specific bounded set (see detail in Lemmas 3 and 4). Moreover, in Theorem 1, by using the fixed point theory [23], we illustrate briefly the existence of solutions of the scheme.
- In the fourth step, Theorem 2 is given to illustrate the convergence and existence of the proposed scheme QLSFES.Before proceeding to the actual contribution, we intend to understand several existing results which are utilized in the immanent sections. By the theory of embedding and the Poincaré’s inequality, the positive constants e, , and always depend on the fact that the domain can be recalled as
