To analyze resonances in an axisymmetric inhomogeneous cavity, a higher-order finite element method (FEM) is developed. Mixed higher-order node-based and edge-based elements are applied to eigenvalue analysis for the azimuthal component and meridian components of the field, respectively. Compared with the lower-order FEM, the higher-order FEM can improve accuracy with the same number of unknown...

Polygonal meshes show up in more and more applications and the BEMbased Finite Element Method turned out to be a forward-looking approach. The method uses implicitly defined trial functions, which are treated locally by means of Boundary Element Methods (BEM). Due to this choice the BEM-based FEM is applicable on a variety of meshes including hanging nodes. The aim of this presentation is to gi...

A new finite element method is proposed for the numerical solution of a class of initial-boundary value problems for first-order hyperbolic systems in one space dimension. An application of our procedure to a system modeling gas flow in a pipe is discussed. Asymptotic error estimates are derived in the L norm in space.

We apply in this paper the weak Galerkin method to the second order parabolic differential equations based on a discrete weak gradient operator. We establish both the continuous time and the discrete time weak Galerkin finite element schemes, which allow using the totally discrete functions in approximation space and the finite element partitions of arbitrary polygons with certain shape regular...

In this paper, we solve a linear system of second-order boundary value problems by using the quadratic B-spline nite el- ement method (FEM). The performance of the method is tested on one model problem. Comparisons are made with both the analyti- cal solution and some recent results.The obtained numerical results show that the method is ecient.
