Finite element variational crimes in the case of semiregular elements
The finite element method for a strongly elliptic mixed boundary value problem is analyzed in the domain whose boundary is formed by two circles , with the same center and radii , , where . On one circle the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and on the other one the nonhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition are prescribed. Both possibilities for are considered. The standard finite elements satisfying the minimum angle condition are in this case inconvenient; thus triangles obeying...
Finite elements methods for solving viscoelastic thin plates
The present paper deals with numerical solution of a viscoelastic plate. The discrete problem is defined by -elements and a linear multistep method. The effect of numerical integration is studied as well. The rate of cnvergence is established. Some examples are given in the conclusion.

Finite volume box schemes and mixed methods
Finite Volume Box Schemes and Mixed Methods
We present the numerical analysis on the Poisson problem of two mixed Petrov-Galerkin finite volume schemes for equations in divergence form . The first scheme, which has been introduced in [CITE], is a generalization in two dimensions of Keller's box-scheme. The second scheme is the dual of the first one, and is a cell-centered scheme for u and the flux φ. For the first scheme, the two trial finite element spaces are the nonconforming space of Crouzeix-Raviart for the primal unknown u...

Finite volume methods for elliptic PDE’s : a new approach
We consider a new formulation for finite volume element methods, which is satisfied by known finite volume methods and it can be used to introduce new ones. This framework results by approximating the test function in the formulation of finite element method. We analyze piecewise linear conforming or nonconforming approximations on nonuniform triangulations and prove optimal order norm and norm error estimates.

Finite volume schemes for fully non-linear elliptic equations in divergence form
We construct finite volume schemes, on unstructured and irregular grids and in any space dimension, for non-linear elliptic equations of the p-Laplacian kind: -div(|∇u|p-2∇u) = ƒ (with 1 < p < ∞). We prove the existence and uniqueness of the approximate solutions, as well as their strong convergence towards the solution of the PDE. The outcome of some numerical tests are also provided.
Finite volume schemes for the p-laplacian on cartesian meshes
This paper is concerned with the finite volume approximation of the p-laplacian equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on rectangular meshes. A reconstruction of the norm of the gradient on the mesh’s interfaces is needed in order to discretize the p-laplacian operator. We give a detailed description of the possible nine points schemes ensuring that the solution of the resulting finite dimensional nonlinear system exists and is unique. These schemes, called admissible, are locally...

Finite-element discretizations of a two-dimensional grade-two fluid model
We propose and analyze several finite-element schemes for solving a grade-two fluid model, with a tangential boundary condition, in a two-dimensional polygon. The exact problem is split into a generalized Stokes problem and a transport equation, in such a way that it always has a solution without restriction on the shape of the domain and on the size of the data. The first scheme uses divergence-free discrete velocities and a centered discretization of the transport term, whereas the other schemes...

Flux-upwind stabilization of the discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin formulation with Lagrange multipliers for advection-diffusion problems
In this work we consider the dual-primal Discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin (DPG) method for the advection-diffusion model problem. Since in the DPG method both mixed internal variables are discontinuous, a static condensation procedure can be carried out, leading to a single-field nonconforming discretization scheme. For this latter formulation, we propose a flux-upwind stabilization technique to deal with the advection-dominated case. The resulting scheme is conservative and satisfies a discrete maximum...
