Stability Estimates of the Mortar Finite Element Method for 3-Dimensional Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the mortar finite element method for three spatial variables. The two main issues are the proof of the LBB condition based on appropriate choices of Lagrange multipliers and optimal efficiency of corresponding multigrid schemes for the whole coupled systems of equations. The implementation of the smoothing procedure also differs from that one used in the 2-dimensional case.

A mortar element method for elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients
This paper proposes a mortar finite element method for solving the two-dimensional second-order elliptic problem with jumps in coefficients across the interface between two subregions. Non-matching finite element grids are allowed on the interface, so independent triangulations can be used in different subregions. Explicitly realizable mortar conditions are introduced to couple the individual d...
متن کاملOptimal order finite element approximation for a hyperbolic integro-differential equation
Semidiscrete finite element approximation of a hyperbolic type integro-differential equation is studied. The model problem is treated as the wave equation which is perturbed with a memory term. Stability estimates are obtained for a slightly more general problem. These, based on energy method, are used to prove optimal order a priori error estimates.
متن کاملMortar estimates independent of number of subdomains
The stability and error estimates for the mortar finite element method are well established. This work examines the dependence of constants in these estimates on shape and number of subdomains. By means of a Poincaré inequality and some scaling arguments, these estimates are found not to deteriorate with increase in number of subdomains.
متن کاملStability and Convergence of Nonconforming /AJI Finite-Element Methods
The stability and convergence of nonconforming hp finite-element methods, in particular, the mortar finite-element method and its variants, are established based on a new stability measure for these methods. Using a generalized eigenvalue analysis, estimates for this measure are computed numerically. Our numerical results demonstrate that these nonconforming methods prove to be good candidates ...

We derive error estimates in the appropriate norms, for the streamlinediffusion (SD) finite element methods for steady state, energy dependent,Fermi equation in three space dimensions. These estimates yield optimal convergencerates due to the maximal available regularity of the exact solution.High order SD method together with implicit integration are used.
