Generalizations of the Finite Element Method

Marc Schweitzer (2012)

Open Mathematics

This paper is concerned with the generalization of the finite element method via the use of non-polynomial enrichment functions. Several methods employ this general approach, e.g. the extended finite element method and the generalized finite element method. We review these approaches and interpret them in the more general framework of the partition of unity method. Here we focus on fundamental construction principles, approximation properties and stability of the respective numerical method. To...

Generic implementation of finite element methods in the Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment (DUNE)

Peter Bastian, Felix Heimann, Sven Marnach (2010)

Kybernetika

In this paper we describe PDELab, an extensible C++ template library for finite element methods based on the Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment (Dune). PDELab considerably simplifies the implementation of discretization schemes for systems of partial differential equations by setting up global functions and operators from a simple element-local description. A general concept for incorporation of constraints eases the implementation of essential boundary conditions, hanging nodes and varying...

Global Lipschitz continuity for elliptic transmission problems with a boundary intersecting interface

Pierre-Etienne Druet (2013)

Mathematica Bohemica

We investigate the regularity of the weak solution to elliptic transmission problems that involve two layered anisotropic materials separated by a boundary intersecting interface. Under a pair of compatibility conditions for the angle of the two surfaces and the boundary data at the contact line, we prove the existence of up to the boundary square-integrable second derivatives, and the global Lipschitz continuity of the solution. If only the weakest, necessary condition is satisfied, we show that...

Gravimetric quasigeoid in Slovakia by the finite element method

Zuzana Fašková, Karol Mikula, Róbert Čunderlík, Juraj Janák, Michal Šprlák (2007)

Kybernetika

The paper presents the solution to the geodetic boundary value problem by the finite element method in area of Slovak Republic. Generally, we have made two numerical experiments. In the first one, Neumann BC in the form of gravity disturbances generated from EGM-96 is used and the solution is verified by the quasigeoidal heights generated directly from EGM-96. In the second one, Neumann BC is computed from gravity measurements and the solution is compared to the quasigeoidal heights obtained by...

Guaranteed and robust a posteriori error estimates for singularly perturbed reaction–diffusion problems

Ibrahim Cheddadi, Radek Fučík, Mariana I. Prieto, Martin Vohralík (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We derive a posteriori error estimates for singularly perturbed reaction–diffusion problems which yield a guaranteed upper bound on the discretization error and are fully and easily computable. Moreover, they are also locally efficient and robust in the sense that they represent local lower bounds for the actual error, up to a generic constant independent in particular of the reaction coefficient. We present our results in the framework of the vertex-centered finite volume method but their nature...
