چکیده

Abstract. A numerical method for a two-dimensional curl-curl and grad-div problem is studied in this paper. It is based on a discretization using weakly continuous P1 vector fields and includes two consistency terms involving the jumps of the vector fields across element boundaries. Optimal convergence rates (up to an arbitrary positive ) in both the energy norm and the L2 norm are established on graded meshes. The theoretical results are confirmed by numerical experiments.

Multigrid Methods for Maxwell's Equations List of Tables

In this work we study finite element methods for two-dimensional Maxwell’s equations and their solutions by multigrid algorithms. We begin with a brief survey of finite element methods for Maxwell’s equations. Then we review the related fundamentals, such as Sobolev spaces, elliptic regularity results, graded meshes, finite element methods for second order problems, and multigrid algorithms. In...

Finite Element Methods for Maxwell Equations

1. SOBOLEV SPACES AND WEAK FORMULATIONS Let Ω be a bounded Lipschitz domain in R. We introduce the Sobolev spaces H(curl ; Ω) = {v ∈ L(Ω), curlv ∈ L(Ω)}, H(div; Ω) = {v ∈ L(Ω),div v ∈ L(Ω)} The vector fields (E,H) belong to H(curl ; Ω) while the flux (D,B) in H(div; Ω). We shall use the unified notation H(d; Ω) with d = grad , curl , or div. Note that H(grad ; Ω) is the familiar H(Ω) space. The...

A Discrete Duality Finite Volume Approach to Hodge Decomposition and div-curl Problems on Almost Arbitrary Two-Dimensional Meshes

Abstract. We define discrete differential operators such as grad, div and curl, on general two-dimensional non-orthogonal meshes. These discrete operators verify discrete analogues of usual continuous theorems: discrete Green formulae, discrete Hodge decomposition of vector fields, vector curls have a vanishing divergence and gradients have a vanishing curl. We apply these ideas to discretize d...

Efficient Parallel Preconditioners for High-Order Finite Element Discretizations of H(grad) and H(curl) Problems

In this paper, we study preconditioning techniques for both H(grad) and H(curl) problems. For an H(grad) elliptic problem discretized by high-order finite elements with a hierachical basis of k-th order, we design and analyse an parallel AMG preconditioner based on a two-level method and a block Gauss–Seidel smoothing technique. For an H(curl) elliptic problem discretized by high-order edge fin...

Algebraic Multigrid for High-Order Hierarchical H(curl) Finite Elements

Classic multigrid methods are often not directly applicable to nonelliptic problems such as curl-type partial differential equations (PDEs). Curl-curl PDEs require specialized smoothers that are compatible with the gradient-like (near) null space. Moreover, recent developments have focused on replicating the grad-curl-div de Rham complex in a multilevel hierarchy through smoothed aggregation ba...
