A new a priori error estimate of nonconforming finite element methods

This paper is devoted to a new error analysis of nonconforming finite element methods.Compared with the classic error analysis in literature,only weak continuity,the F-E-M-Test for nonconforming finite element spaces,and basic Hm regularity for exact solutions of 2m-th order elliptic problems under consideration are assumed.The analysis is motivated by ideas from a posteriori error estimates and projection average operators.One main ingredient is a novel decomposition for some key average terms on(n.1)-dimensional faces by introducing a piecewise constant projection,which defines the generalization to more general nonconforming finite elements of the results in literature.The analysis and results herein are conjectured to apply for all nonconforming finite elements in literature.     

A locking-free anisotropic nonconforming rectangular finite element approximation for the planar elasticity problem

This paper deals with a new nonconforming anisotropic rectangular finite element approximation for the planar elasticity problem with pure displacement boundary condition. By use of the special properties of this element, and by introducing the complementary space and a series of novel techniques, the optimal error estimates of the energy norm and the L^2-norm are obtained. The restrictions of regularity assumption and quasi-uniform assumption or the inverse assumption on the meshes required in the conventional finite element methods analysis are to be got rid of and the applicable scope of the nonconforming finite elements is extended.

Robust error estimates for the finite element approximation of elliptic optimal control problems

In this paper, we consider the finite element approximation of an elliptic optimal control problem. Based on an assumption on the adjoint state of the continuous problem with a small parameter, which represents a regularization of the bang-bang type control problem, we derive robust a priori error estimates for optimal control and state and a posteriori error estimate is also presented. Numerical experiments confirm our theoretical results.     

Nonconforming elements in least-squares mixed finite element methods

In this paper we analyze the finite element discretization for the first-order system least squares mixed model for the second-order elliptic problem by means of using nonconforming and conforming elements to approximate displacement and stress, respectively. Moreover, on arbitrary regular quadrilaterals, we propose new variants of both the rotated nonconforming element and the lowest-order Raviart-Thomas element.

     

Robust a posteriori error estimation for the nonconforming Fortin-Soulie finite element approximation

We obtain a computable a posteriori error bound on the broken energy norm of the error in the Fortin-Soulie finite element approximation of a linear second order elliptic problem with variable permeability. This bound is shown to be efficient in the sense that it also provides a lower bound for the broken energy norm of the error up to a constant and higher order data oscillation terms. The estimator is completely free of unknown constants and provides a guaranteed numerical bound on the error.

     

Nonconforming rotated Q_1 element on non-tensor product anisotropic meshes

In this paper, we consider the nonconforming rotated Q1 element for the second order elliptic problem on the non-tensor product anisotropic meshes, i.e. the anisotropic affine quadrilateral meshes. Though the interpolation error is divergent on the anisotropic meshes, we overcome this difficulty by constructing another proper operator. Then we give the optimal approximation error and the consistency error estimates under the anisotropic affine quadrilateral meshes. The results of this paper provide some hints to derive the anisotropic error of some finite elements whose interpolations do not satisfy the anisotropic interpolation properties. Lastly, a numerical test is carried out, which coincides with our theoretical analysis.

A new quadratic nonconforming finite element on rectangles

A new quadratic nonconforming finite element on rectangles (or parallelograms) is introduced. The nonconforming element consists of P₂ ⊕ Span{x²y,xy²} on a rectangle and eight degrees of freedom. Our element is essentially of seven degrees of freedom since the degree of freedom associated with the integration on rectangle is essentially of bubble‐function nature. Global basis functions are constructed for both Dirichlet and Neumann type of problems; accordingly the corresponding dimensions are counted. The local and global interpolation operators are defined. Error estimates of optimal order are derived in both broken energy and L²(Ω) norms for second‐order of elliptic problems. Brief numerical results are also shown to confirm the optimality of the presented quadratic nonconforming element. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2006

Nonconforming mixed finite elements for linear elasticity on simplicial grids

This paper introduces a new family of nonconforming mixed finite elements for solving the linear elasticity equations on simplicial grids. Besides, this paper describes the construction of the lowest order basis functions. The construction only involves simple computations due to the new explicit stress shape function spaces and the procedure applies for high order cases. Numerical experiments for four benchmark problems in mechanics indicate the robust locking‐free behavior and show that the lowest order nonconforming mixed method leads to smaller stress errors than the first and second order standard Galerkin methods for the nearly incompressible case.     

A new cubic nonconforming finite element on rectangles

A new nonconforming rectangle element with cubic convergence for the energy norm is introduced. The degrees of freedom (DOFs) are defined by the 12 values at the three Gauss points on each of the four edges. Due to the existence of one linear relation among the above DOFs, it turns out the DOFs are 11. The nonconforming element consists of . We count the corresponding dimension for Dirichlet and Neumann boundary value problems of second‐order elliptic problems. We also present the optimal error estimates in both broken energy and norms. Finally, numerical examples match our theoretical results very well. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 31: 691–705, 2015     

Reliable a posteriori error control for nonconforming finite element approximation of Stokes flow

We derive computable a posteriori error estimates for the lowest order nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart element applied to the approximation of incompressible Stokes flow. The estimator provides an explicit upper bound that is free of any unknown constants, provided that a reasonable lower bound for the inf-sup constant of the underlying problem is available. In addition, it is shown that the estimator provides an equivalent lower bound on the error up to a generic constant.
