Partition of Unity Refinement for local approximation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, we propose a Partition ofUnity Refinement (PUR)method to improve the local approximations of elliptic boundary value problems in regions of interest. The PUR method only needs to refine the local meshes and hanging nodes generate no difficulty. The mesh qualities such as uniformity or quasi-uniformity are kept. The advantages of the PUR include its effectiveness and relatively easy implementation. In this article, we present the basic ideas and implementation of the PUR method on triangular meshes. Numerical results for elliptic Dirichlet boundary value problem on an L-shaped domain are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The extensions of the PURmethod to multilevel and higher dimension are straightforward. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 00: 000–000, 2010

An Adaptive hp-Version of the Multilevel Particle–Partition of Unity Method
This paper is concerned with the hp-adaptive multilevel solution of second order elliptic partial differential equations using the meshfree particle–partition of unity method. The proposed refinement scheme automatically constructs new discretization points (or particles), the meshfree analogue of an adaptive h-refinement, and local approximation spaces with better local resolution, a p-refinem...
متن کاملThe Partition of Unity Finite Element Approach with hp-refinement for the Stationary Fokker-Planck Equation
In this paper, the stationary Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) is solved for nonlinear dynamical systems using a local numerical technique based on the meshless partition of unity finite element method (PUFEM). The method is applied to stationary FPE for two, three and four-dimensional systems and is argued to be an excellent candidate for higher dimensional problems and the transient problem. Loca...
متن کاملEffortless construction of hierarchical spline quasi-interpolants
Quasi-interpolation is a well-known technique to construct accurate approximants to a given set of data or a given function by means of a local approach. A quasi-interpolant is usually obtained as a linear combination of a given system of blending functions that form a convex partition of unity and possess a small local support. These properties ensure both numerical stability and local control...

متن کاملMultivariate normalized Powell-Sabin B-splines and quasi-interpolants
We present the construction of a multivariate normalized B-spline basis for the quadratic C-continuous spline space defined over a triangulation in R (s ≥ 1) with a generalized Powell-Sabin refinement. The basis functions have a local support, they are nonnegative, and they form a partition of unity. The construction can be interpreted geometrically as the determination of a set of s-simplices ...
