The mimetic finite difference discretization of diffusion problem on unstructured polyhedral meshes

We study the mimetic finite difference discretization of diffusion-type problems on unstructured polyhedral meshes. We demonstrate high accuracy of the approximate solutions for general diffusion tensors, the second-order convergence rate for the scalar unknown and the first order convergence rate for the vector unknown on smooth or slightly distorted meshes, on non-matching meshes, and even on...

Convergence of Mimetic Finite Difference Method for Diffusion Problems on Polyhedral Meshes

The main goal of this paper is to establish the convergence of mimetic discretizations of the firstorder system that describes linear stationary diffusion on general polyhedral meshes. The main idea of the mimetic finite difference (MFD) method is to mimic the underlying properties of the original continuum differential operators, e.g. conservation laws, solution symmetries, and the fundamental...

Convergence Analysis of the mimetic Finite Difference Method for Elliptic Problems with Staggered Discretizations of Diffusion Coefficients

We propose a family of mimetic discretization schemes for elliptic problems including convection and reaction terms. Our approach is an extension of the mimetic methodology for purely diffusive problems on unstructured polygonal and polyhedral meshes. The a priori error analysis relies on the connection between the mimetic formulation and the lowest order Raviart–Thomas mixed finite element met...

A new discretization methodology for diffusion problems on generalized polyhedral meshes

We develop a family of inexpensive discretization schemes for diffusion problems on generalized polyhedral meshes with elements having non-planar faces. The material properties are described by a full tensor. We also prove superconvergence for the scalar (pressure) variable under very general assumptions. The theoretical results are confirmed with numerical experiments. In the practically impor...
