Conforming polygonal finite elements
In this paper, conforming finite elements on polygon meshes are developed. Polygonal finite elements provide greater flexibility in mesh generation and are better-suited for applications in solid mechanics which involve a significant change in the topology of the material domain. In this study, recent advances in meshfree approximations, computational geometry, and computer graphics are used to...
متن کاملConvergence rates for adaptive finite elements
In this article we prove that it is possible to construct, using newestvertex bisection, meshes that equidistribute the error in H-norm, whenever the function to approximate can be decomposed as a sum of a regular part plus a singular part with singularities around a finite number of points. This decomposition is usual in regularity results of Partial Differential Equations (PDE). As a conseque...
متن کاملOn the Convergence of Adaptive Non-Conforming Finite Element Methods
We formulate and analyze an adaptive non-conforming finite-element method for the solution of convex variational problems. The class of minimization problems we admit includes highly singular problems for which no Euler–Lagrange equation (or inequality) is available. As a consequence, our arguments only use the structure of the energy functional. We are nevertheless able to prove convergence of...
متن کاملConvergence analysis of a conforming adaptive finite element method for an obstacle problem
The adaptive algorithm for the obstacle problem presented in this paper relies on the jump residual contributions of a standard explicit residual-based a posteriori error estimator. Each cycle of the adaptive loop consists of the steps 'SOLVE', 'ESTIMATE', 'MARK', and 'REFINE'. The techniques from the unrestricted varia-tional problem are modified for the convergence analysis to overcome the la...
متن کاملMixed Methods Using Standard Conforming Finite Elements
We investigate the mixed finite element method (MFEM) for solving a second order elliptic problem with a lowest order term, as might arise in the simulation of single phase flow in porous media. We find that traditional mixed finite element spaces are not necessary when a positive lowest order (i.e., reaction) term is present. Hence we propose to use standard conforming finite elements Qk × (Qk...
