Abstract
In this paper, we construct a combined upwinding and mixed finite element m ethod for the numerical solution of a two-dimensional mean field model of s uperconducting vortices. An advantage of our method is that it works for an y unstructured regular triangulation. A simple convergence analysis is give n without resorting to the discrete maximum principle. Numerical examples a re also presented. Mathematics Subject Classification. 65N99, 82D55.
