MOX–Report No. 14/2010 A Mimetic Discretization of Elliptic Obstacle Problems
We develop a Finite Element method (FEM) which can adopt very general meshes with polygonal elements for the numerical approximation of elliptic obstacle problems. This kind of methods are also known as mimetic discretization schemes, which stem from the Mimetic Finite Di erence (MFD) method. The rst-order convergence estimate in a suitable (mesh-dependent) energy norm is established. Numerical...
متن کاملConvergence 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...
متن کاملSuperconvergence of the Velocity in Mimetic Finite Difference Methods on Quadrilaterals
Abstract. Superconvergence of the velocity is established for mimetic finite difference approximations of second-order elliptic problems over h2-uniform quadrilateral meshes. The superconvergence result holds for a full tensor coefficient. The analysis exploits the relation between mimetic finite differences and mixed finite element methods via a special quadrature rule for computing the scalar...
متن کاملA Mimetic Discretization of Elliptic Control Problems
In this paper we investigate the Mimetic Finite Difference method for the approximation of a constraint optimal control problem governed by an elliptic operator. A priori error estimates of the first order are derived in suitable discrete norms for both the control and the state variables. The theoretical results are confirmed by numerical experiments performed on a set of test cases selected f...
متن کاملA mortar mimetic finite difference method on non-matching grids
We consider mimetic finite difference approximations to second order elliptic problems on non-matching multi-block grids. Mortar finite elements are employed on the non-matching interfaces to impose weak continuity of the velocity. Optimal convergence and, for certain cases, superconvergence is established for both the scalar variable and the velocity.
