Abstract:
In this thesis, numerical methods for nonlocal problems with local boundary conditions from the area of peridynamics are studied. The novel operators that satisfy local boundary conditions were proposed as an alternative to the original nonlocal problems which uses nonlocal boundaries. Peridynamic theory is reformulation of continuum mechanics by integral equations for which it has some advantages over traditional partial differential equations. In peridynamic theory, a point can interact with other points within a certain distance which is called horizon and indicated by the parameter δ. In this thesis, we are particularly interested in role of the parameter δ in numerical methods for the novel problems. More precisely, we aim to show its role in condition number, discretization error and convergence factor of multigrid method.
