چکیده

Mimetic discretization methods for the numerical solution of continuum mechanics problems rely on vector calculus and differential forms identities in their derivation and analysis. Fully mimetic discretizations satisfy discrete analogs of the continuum theory results used to derive energy inequalities. Consequently, continuum arguments carry over and can be used to show that discrete problems are well-posed and discrete solutions converge. A fully mimetic discrete vector calculus on three dimensional tensor product grids is derived and its key properties proven. Opinions regarding the future of the field are stated. 2000 Mathematical subject classification: 65N12; 65N06.

Mimetic Discretizations for Maxwell's Equations and the Equations of Magnetic Di usion

We have constructed reliable nite diierence methods for approximating the solution to Maxwell's equations and the equations of magnetic eld diiusion using accurate discrete analogs of diierential operators that satisfy the identities and theorems of vector and tensor calculus in discrete form. The numerical approximation does not have spurious modes and mimics many fundamental properties of the...

Fast and accurate tensor approximation of a multivariate convolution with linear scaling in dimension

In the present paper we present the tensor-product approximation of multidimensional convolution transform discretized via collocation-projection scheme on the uniform or composite refined grids. Examples of convolving kernels are given by the classical Newton, Slater (exponential) and Yukawa potentials, 1/‖x‖, e−λ‖x‖ and e−λ‖x‖/‖x‖ with x ∈ Rd. For piecewise constant elements on the uniform gr...

Discrete 2-Tensor Fields on Triangulations

Geometry processing has made ample use of discrete representations of tangent vector fields and antisymmetric tensors (i.e., forms) on triangulations. Symmetric 2-tensors, while crucial in the definition of inner products and elliptic operators, have received only limited attention. They are often discretized by first defining a coordinate system per vertex, edge or face, then storing their com...
