Nonconforming Galerkin Methods Based on Quadrilateral Elements for Second Order Elliptic Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low-order nonconforming Galerkin methods will be analyzed for second-order elliptic equations subjected to Robin, Dirichlet, or Neumann boundary conditions. Both simplicial and rectangular elements will be considered in two and three dimensions. The simplicial elements will be based on P1, as for conforming elements; however, it is necessary to introduce new elements in the rectangular case. Optimal order error estimates are demonstrated in all cases with respect to a broken norm in H(Ω) and in the Neumann and Robin cases in L(Ω). AMS Subject Classification. 65N30.

P1-Nonconforming Quadrilateral Finite Element Methods for Second-Order Elliptic Problems
A P1-nonconforming quadrilateral finite element is introduced for second-order elliptic problems in two dimensions. Unlike the usual quadrilateral nonconforming finite elements, which contain quadratic polynomials or polynomials of degree greater than 2, our element consists of only piecewise linear polynomials that are continuous at the midpoints of edges. One of the benefits of using our elem...
متن کاملOn the Implementation of Mixed Methods as Nonconforming Methods for Second-order Elliptic Problems
In this paper we show that mixed finite element methods for a fairly general second-order elliptic problem with variable coefficients can be given a nonmixed formulation. (Lower-order terms are treated, so our results apply also to parabolic equations.) We define an approximation method by incorporating some projection operators within a standard Galerkin method, which we call a projection fini...
متن کاملLocal flux conservative numerical methods for the second order elliptic equations
A discontinuous Galerkin type nonconforming element method and a local flux matching nonconforming element method for the second order elliptic boundary value problems are presented. Both of these methods enjoy the local flux conservation property. The local flux matching method finds a numerical solution in the same solution space of the DG type nonconforming element method, but it achieves mu...
متن کاملNonconforming H-Galerkin Mixed Finite Element Method for Pseudo-Hyperbolic Equations
Based on H-Galerkin mixed finite element method with nonconforming quasi-Wilson element, a numerical approximate scheme is established for pseudo-hyperbolic equations under arbitrary quadrilateral meshes. The corresponding optimal order error estimate is derived by the interpolation technique instead of the generalized elliptic projection which is necessary for classical error estimates of fini...
