We show that three well-known \variational crimes" in nite elements { upwinding, mass lumping and selective reduced integration { may be derived from the Galerkin method employing the standard polynomial-based nite element spaces enriched with residual-free bubbles.

In this paper, we develop the locally divergence-free discontinuous Galerkin method for numerically solving the Maxwell equations. The distinctive feature of the method is the use of approximate solutions that are exactly divergence-free inside each element. As a consequence, this method has a smaller computational cost than that of the discontinuous Galerkin method with standard piecewise poly...

We present an adaptive spacetime discontinuous Galerkin (SDG) method for linearized elastodynamics. The SDG method uses a simple Bubnov-Galerkin projection that delivers stable and oscillation–free solutions, with O (N) complexity and exact momentum balance on every spacetime element. An extended version of the Tent Pitcher algorithm generates unstructured spacetime grids that support simultane...

The aim of the book is to provide an analysis of the boundary element method for the numerical solution of Laplacian eigenvalue problems. The representation of Laplacian eigenvalue problems in the form of boundary integral equations leads to nonlinear eigenvalue problems for related boundary integral operators. The solution of boundary element discretizations of such eigenvalue problems require...

In an abstract framework we present a formalism which speciies the notions of consistency and stability of Petrov-Galerkin methods used to approximate nonlinear problems which are, in many practical situations, strongly nonlinear elliptic problems. This formalism gives rise to a priori and a posteriori error estimates which can be used for the reenement of the mesh in adaptive nite element meth...

The application of a coupled ®nite element± element-free Galerkin (EFG) method to problems in threedimensional fracture is presented. The EFG method is based on moving least square (MLS) approximations and uses only a set of nodal points and a CAD-like description of the body to formulate the discrete model. The EFG method is coupled with the ®nite element method which allows for the use of the...

We propose an hp-version discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for fully nonlinear second-order elliptic Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations with Cordes coefficients. The method is proved to be consistent and stable, with convergence rates that are optimal with respect to mesh size, and suboptimal in the polynomial degree by only half an order. Numerical experiments on problems with nonsmo...

in this paper, the ritz-galerkin method in bernstein polynomial basis is applied for solving the nonlinear problem of the magnetohydrodynamic (mhd) flow of third grade fluid between the two plates. the properties of the bernstein  polynomials together with the ritz-galerkin method are used to reduce the solution of the mhd couette flow of non-newtonian fluid in a porous medium to the solution o...
