FEM with Trefftz trial functions on polyhedral elements
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 gets into the line of recent developments in several areas. The arising local problems are treated by two dimensional Galerkin schemes coming from finite and boundary element formulations. With the help of a new interpolation operator and its properties, convergence estimates are proven in the H1as well as in the L2-norm. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results.

Convection-adapted BEM-based FEM
We present a new discretization method for homogeneous convectiondiffusion-reaction boundary value problems in 3D that is a non-standard finite element method with PDE-harmonic shape functions on polyhedral elements. The element stiffness matrices are constructed by means of local boundary element techniques. Our method, which we refer to as a BEM-based FEM, can therefore be considered a local ...
متن کاملTrefftz finite element method and its special purpose elements
Abstract In this report, the hybrid Trefftz finite element method based on nonsingular T-complete functions is first briefly reviewed for the purpose of establishing notation; then various special purpose elements are developed to illustrat the major advantage of Trefftz methods. In HT-FEM, elements containing local defects are treated by simply replacing the regular T-complete functions with a...
متن کاملFrom the Boundary Element DDM to local Trefftz Finite Element Methods on Polyhedral Meshes
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 PD...
متن کاملAnalysis 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 ...
