Finite element method

Finite element exterior calculus

Finite element exterior calculus (FEEC) is a mathematical framework that formulates finite element methods using chain complexes. Its main application has been a comprehensive theory for finite element methods in , computational solid and fluid mechanics. FEEC was developed in the early 2000s by Douglas N. Arnold, and Ragnar Winther, among others. Finite element exterior calculus is sometimes called as an example of a compatible discretization technique, and bears similarities with discrete exterior calculus, although they are distinct theories. One starts with the recognition that the used differential operators are often part of complexes: successive application results in zero. Then, the phrasing of the differential operators of relevant differential equations and relevant boundary conditions as a Hodge Laplacian. The Hodge Laplacian terms are split using the Hodge decomposition. A related variational saddle-point formulation for mixed quantities is then generated. Discretization to a mesh-related subcomplex is done requiring a collection of projection operators which commute with the differential operators. One can then prove uniqueness and optimal convergence as function of mesh density. FEEC is of immediate relevancy for diffusion, elasticity, electromagnetism, Stokes flow. For the important de Rham complex, pertaining to the grad, curl and div operators, suitable family of elements have been generated not only for tetrahedrons, but also for other shaped elements such as bricks. Moreover, also conforming with them, prism and pyramid shaped elements have been generated. For the latter, uniquely, the shape functions are not polynomial. The quantities are 0-forms (scalars), 1-forms (gradients), 2-forms (fluxes), and 3-forms (densities). Diffusion, electromagnetism, and elasticity, Stokes flow, general relatively, and actually all known complexes, can all be phrased in terms the de Rham complex. For Navier-Stokes, there may be possibilities too. (Wikipedia).

Epsilon delta limit (Example 3): Infinite limit at a point

This is the continuation of the epsilon-delta series! You can find Examples 1 and 2 on blackpenredpen's channel. Here I use an epsilon-delta argument to calculate an infinite limit, and at the same time I'm showing you how to calculate a right-hand-side limit. Enjoy!

Ari Stern: Hybrid finite element methods preserving local symmetries and conservation laws

Abstract: Many PDEs arising in physical systems have symmetries and conservation laws that are local in space. However, classical finite element methods are described in terms of spaces of global functions, so it is difficult even to make sense of such local properties. In this talk, I wil
