A mortar element method for elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients

چکیده
This paper proposes a mortar finite element method for solving the two-dimensional second-order elliptic problem with jumps in coefficients across the interface between two subregions. Non-matching finite element grids are allowed on the interface, so independent triangulations can be used in different subregions. Explicitly realizable mortar conditions are introduced to couple the individual discretizations. The same optimal L2-norm and energy-norm error estimates as for regular problems are achieved when the interface is of arbitrary shape but smooth, though the regularity of the true solution is low in the whole physical domain.

A FETI-DP Method for the Mortar Discretization of Elliptic Problems with Discontinuous Coefficients
Second order elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients are considered. The problem is discretized by the finite element method on geometrically conforming non-matching triangulations across the interface using the mortar technique. The resulting discrete problem is solved by a FETI-DP method. We prove that the method is convergent and its rate of convergence is almost optimal and indepe...
متن کاملParallel scalability of a FETI–DP mortar method for problems with discontinuous coefficients
We consider elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients discretized by FEM on non-matching triangulations across the interface using the mortar technique. The resulting discrete problem is solved by a FETI–DP method using a preconditioner with special scaling described in Dokeva, Dryja and Proskurowski [to appear]. Experiments performed on hundreds of processors show that this FETI–DP mor...

متن کاملMultiplicative Average Schwarz for Elliptic Problems with Discontinuous Coefficients and Nonmatching Grids
We propose a multiplicative Schwarz preconditioner for solving systems of algebraic equations resulting from the mortar finite element discretization of second order elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients. We consider coefficients may have large jumps across subregions, and the meshes to be nonmatching across the subregions. The preconditioner is based on exact solvers for its nonove...
متن کاملAdditive Schwarz methods for the Crouzeix-Raviart mortar finite element for elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients
In this paper, we propose two variants of the additive Schwarz method for the approximation of second order elliptic boundary value problems with discontinuous coefficients, on nonmatching grids using the lowest order Crouzeix-Raviart element for the discretization in each subdomain. The overall discretization is based on the mortar technique for coupling nonmatching grids. The convergence beha...
