A finite element method on composite grids based on Nitsche’s method
In this paper we propose a finite element method for the approximation of second order elliptic problems on composite grids. The method is based on continuous piecewise polynomial approximation on each grid and weak enforcement of the proper continuity at an artificial interface defined by edges (or faces) of one the grids. We prove optimal order a priori and energy type a posteriori error estimates in 2 and 3 space dimensions, and present some numerical examples.

A Finite Element Model Based on Discontinuous Galerkin Methods on Moving Grids for Vertebrate Limb Pattern Formation
Skeletal patterning in the vertebrate limb, i.e., the spatiotemporal regulation of cartilage differentiation (chondrogenesis) during embryogenesis and regeneration, is one of the best studied examples of a multicellular developmental process. Recently [Alber et al., The morphostatic limit for a model of skeletal pattern formation in the vertebrate limb, Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2008, v70, pp. 460-483], a simplified two-equation reaction-diffusion system was developed to describe the interaction...
A finite element scheme for the evolution of orientational order in fluid membranes
We investigate the evolution of an almost flat membrane driven by competition of the homogeneous, Frank, and bending energies as well as the coupling of the local order of the constituent molecules of the membrane to its curvature. We propose an alternative to the model in [J.B. Fournier and P. Galatoa, J. Phys. II7 (1997) 1509–1520; N. Uchida, Phys. Rev. E66 (2002) 040902] which replaces a Ginzburg-Landau penalization for the length of the order parameter by a rigid constraint. We introduce...

A finite volume method for the Laplace equation on almost arbitrary two-dimensional grids
We present a finite volume method based on the integration of the Laplace equation on both the cells of a primal almost arbitrary two-dimensional mesh and those of a dual mesh obtained by joining the centers of the cells of the primal mesh. The key ingredient is the definition of discrete gradient and divergence operators verifying a discrete Green formula. This method generalizes an existing finite volume method that requires “Voronoi-type” meshes. We show the equivalence of this finite volume...

A fixed point theorem for affine mappings and its application to elasticity theory
In this paper we obtain a general fixed point theorem for an affine mapping in Banach space. As an application of this theorem we study existence of periodic solutions to the equations of the linear elasticity theory.

A Fortin operator for two-dimensional Taylor-Hood elements
A standard method for proving the inf-sup condition implying stability of finite element approximations for the stationary Stokes equations is to construct a Fortin operator. In this paper, we show how this can be done for two-dimensional triangular and rectangular Taylor-Hood methods, which use continuous piecewise polynomial approximations for both velocity and pressure.
A Fractional Analog of the Duhamel Principle
Mathematics Subject Classification: 35CXX, 26A33, 35S10The well known Duhamel principle allows to reduce the Cauchy problem for linear inhomogeneous partial differential equations to the Cauchy problem for corresponding homogeneous equations. In the paper one of the possible generalizations of the classical Duhamel principle to the time-fractional pseudo-differential equations is established.* This work partially supported by NIH grant P20 GMO67594.
