Dystonia affects musicians in a variety of ways; in pianists fingers can curl or extend uncontrollably, fingers can curl on a violinist’s fingerboard, wind players can experience difficulties with forked fingering, and the cramping of lips in brass players can affect the embouchure. Less common is the effect of musician’s dystonia on the vibrato of string players. This case study describes a pr...

Reliable a posteriori error estimates without generic constants can be obtained by a comparison of the finite element solution with a feasible function for the dual problem. A cheap computation of such functions via equilibration is well known for scalar equations of second order. We simplify and modify the equilibration such that it can be applied to the curl-curl equation and edge elements. T...

In this paper, we will discuss the meshless polyharmonic reconstruction of vector fields from scattered data, possibly, contaminated by noise. We give an explicit solution of the problem. After some theoretical framework, we discuss some numerical aspect arising in the problems related to the reconstruction of vector fields.

This paper analyses a two-level preconditioning scheme for H(curl) bilinear forms. The scheme utilizes an auxiliary problem on a related mesh that is more amenable for constructing optimal order multigrid methods. More specifically, we analyse the case when the auxiliary mesh only approximately covers the original domain. The latter assumption is important since it allows for easy construction ...

We consider H(curl, Ω)-elliptic variational problems on bounded Lipschitz polyhedra and their finite element Galerkin discretization by means of lowest order edge elements. We assume that the underlying tetrahedral mesh has been created by successive local mesh refinement, either by local uniform refinement with hanging nodes or bisection refinement. In this setting we develop a convergence the...
