From the Boundary Element DDM to local Trefftz Finite Element Methods on Polyhedral Meshes

چکیده
We derive and analyze new boundary element (BE) based finite element discretizations of potential-type, Helmholtz and Maxwell equations on arbitrary polygonal and polyhedral meshes. The starting point of this discretization technique is the symmetric BE Domain Decomposition Method (DDM), where the subdomains are the finite elements. This can be interpreted as a local Trefftz method that uses PDE-harmonic basis functions. This discretization technique leads to largescale sparse linear systems of algebraic equations which can efficiently be solved by Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) methods or AMG preconditioned conjugate gradient methods in the case of the potential equation and by Krylov subspace iterative methods in general.

Analysis of a Non-standard Finite Element Method Based on Boundary Integral Operators
We present and analyze a non-standard finite element method based on element-local boundary integral operators that permits polyhedral element shapes as well as meshes with hanging nodes. The method employs elementwise PDE-harmonic trial functions and can thus be interpreted as a local Trefftz method. The construction principle requires the explicit knowledge of the fundamental solution of the ...
متن کاملA More General Version of the Hybrid-Trefftz Finite Element Model by Application of TH-Domain Decomposition
In recent years the hybrid-Trefftz finite element (hT-FE) model, which originated in the work by Jirousek and his collaborators and makes use of an independently defined auxiliary inter-element frame, has been considerably improved. It has indeed become a highly efficient computational tool for the solution of difficult boundary value problems In parallel and to a large extent independently, a ...

متن کاملBoundary-element-based Finite Element Methods for Helmholtz and Maxwell Equations on General Polyhedral Meshes
We present new finite element methods for Helmholtz and Maxwell equations for general three-dimensional polyhedral meshes, based on domain decomposition with boundary elements on the surfaces of the polyhedral volume elements. The methods use the lowest-order polynomial spaces and produce sparse, symmetric linear systems despite the use of boundary elements. Moreover, piecewise constant coeffic...
متن کاملFEM with Trefftz trial functions on polyhedral elements
The goal of this paper is to generalize the BEM-based FEM for second order elliptic boundary value problems to three space dimensions with the emphasis on polyhedral meshes with polygonal faces, where even nonconvex elements are allowed. Due to an implicit definition of the trial functions, the strategy yields conforming approximations and is very flexible with respect to the meshes. Thus, it g...
