Interpolation and quasi - interpolation in h - and hp - version nite element spaces ( extended version )

چکیده
Interpolation operators map a function u to an element Iu of a finite element space. Unlike more general approximation operators, interpolants are defined locally. Estimates of the interpolation error, i.e., the difference u− Iu, are of utmost importance in numerical analysis. These estimates depend on the size of the finite elements, the polynomial degree employed, and the regularity of u. In contrast to interpolation the term quasi-interpolation is used when the regularity is so low that interpolation has to be combined with regularization. This paper gives an overview of different interpolation operators and their error estimates. The discussion includes the h-version and the hp-version of the finite element method, interpolation on the basis of triangular/tetrahedral and quadrilateral/hexahedral meshes, affine and nonaffine elements, isotropic and anisotropic elements, and Lagrangian and other elements. approximation, polynomial interpolation, nodal interpolation, quasi-interpolation, Clément interpolation, Scott-Zhang interpolation, isotropic finite element, shape-regular element, anisotropic element, h-version, p-version, hp-version

Finite element quasi-interpolation and best approximation
This paper introduces a quasi-interpolation operator for scalarand vector-valued finite element spaces constructed on affine, shape-regular meshes with some continuity across mesh interfaces. This operator gives optimal estimates of the best approximation error in any Lp-norm assuming regularity in the fractional Sobolev spaces W r,p, where p ∈ [1,∞] and the smoothness index r can be arbitraril...
متن کاملhp-Spectral Finite Element Analysis of Shear Deformable Beams and Plates
There are different finite element models in place for predicting the bending behavior of shear deformable beams and plates. Mostly, the literature abounds with traditional equi-spaced Langrange based low order finite element approximations using displacement formulations. However, the finite element models of Timoshenko beams and Mindlin plates with linear interpolation of all generalized disp...
متن کاملSome Remarks on Multilinear Maps and Interpolation
A multilinear version of the Boyd interpolation theorem is proved in the context of quasi-normed rearrangement-invariant spaces. A multilinear Marcinkiewicz interpolation theorem is obtained as a corollary. Several applications are given, including estimates for bilinear fractional integrals.
متن کاملAnalytic families of multilinear operators
We prove complex interpolation theorems for analytic families of multilinear operators defined on quasi-Banach spaces, with explicit constants on the intermediate spaces. We obtain analogous results for analytic families of operators defined on spaces generated by the Calderón method applied to couples of quasi-Banach lattices with nontrivial lattice convexity. As an application we derive a mul...
متن کاملNo . 38 / 2014 Local high - order regularization and applications to hp - methods ( extended version )
We develop a regularization operator based on smoothing on a locally defined length scale. This operator is defined on L and has approximation properties that are given by the local regularity of the function it is applied to and the local length scale. Additionally, the regularized function satisfies inverse estimates commensurate with the approximation orders. By combining this operator with ...
