Some weaker forms of compactness
We present a new class of self-adaptive higher-order finite element methods (-FEM) which are free of analytical error estimates and thus work equally well for virtually all PDE problems ranging from simple linear elliptic equations to complex time-dependent nonlinear multiphysics coupled problems. The methods do not contain any tuning parameters and work reliably with both low- and high-order finite elements. The methodology was used to solve various types of problems including thermoelasticity,...
The author presents a simple method (by using the standard theory of connections on principle bundles) of -decomposition of the physical equations written in terms of differential forms on a 4-dimensional spacetime of general relativity, with respect to a general observer. Finally, the author suggests possible applications of such a decomposition to the Maxwell theory.
For a three-web of codimension on a differentiable manifold of dimension , the author studies the Chern connection and a family of parallelizing connections. The latter ones have a common property with the former: the web-distributions are parallel with respect to them.
