چکیده

This paper introduces a novel lowest-order discontinuous Petrov Galerkin (dPG) finite element method (FEM) for the Poisson model problem. The ultra-weak formulation allows for piecewise constant and affine ansatz functions and for piecewise affine and lowest-order Raviart-Thomas test functions. This lowest-order discretization for the Poisson model problem allows for a direct proof of the discrete inf-sup condition and a complete a priori and a posteriori error analysis. Numerical experiments investigate the performance of the method and underline the quasi-optimal convergence.

FEM Convergence Studies for 2-D and 3-D Elliptic PDEs with Smooth and Non-Smooth Source Terms in COMSOL 5.1

Numerical theory provides the basis for quantification on the accuracy and reliability of a FEM solution by error estimates on the FEM error vs. the mesh spacing of the FEM mesh. This paper presents techniques needed in COMSOL 5.1 to perform computational studies for an elliptic test problem in two and three space dimensions that demonstrate this theory by computing the convergence order of the...

An Iterative Finite Element Method for Elliptic Eigenvalue Problems

We consider the task of resolving accurately the nth eigenpair of a generalized eigenproblem rooted in some elliptic partial differential equation (PDE), using an adaptive finite element method (FEM). Conventional adaptive FEM algorithms call a generalized eigensolver after each mesh refinement step. This is not practical in our situation since the generalized eigensolver needs to calculate n e...

A Unified Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin Method and Its Analysis for Friedrichs' Systems

We propose a unified discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin (DPG) framework with optimal test functions for Friedrichs-like systems, which embrace a large class of elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs). The well-posedness, i.e., existence, uniqueness, and stability, of the DPG solution is established on a single abstract DPG formulation, and two abstract DPG methods c...

Discrete Abp Estimate and Convergence Rates for Linear Elliptic Equations in Non-divergence Form

We design a two-scale finite element method (FEM) for linear elliptic PDEs in non-divergence form A(x) : D2u(x) = f(x). The fine scale is given by the meshsize h whereas the coarse scale is dictated by an integrodifferential approximation of the PDE. We show that the FEM satisfies the discrete maximum principle (DMP) for any uniformly positive definite matrix A(x) provided that the mesh is weak...
