Summary. The present paper deals with a variant of a non conforming domain decomposition technique: the mortar finite element method.
In the opposition to the original method this variant is never conforming because of the relaxation of the matching constraints at the vertices (and the edges in 3D) of subdomains. It
is shown that, written under primal hybrid formulation, the approximation problem, issued from a discretization of a second
order elliptic equation in 2D, is nonetheless well posed and provides a discrete solution that satisfies optimal error estimates
with respect to natural norms. Finally the parallelization advantages consequence of this variant are also addressed.

Summary. This paper is concerned with the analysis of discretization schemes for second order elliptic boundary value problems when
essential boundary conditions are enforced with the aid of Lagrange multipliers. Specifically, we show how the validity of
the Ladyškaja–Babušska–Brezzi (LBB) condition for the corresponding saddle point problems depends on the various ingredients
of the involved discretizations. The main result states that the LBB condition is satisfied whenever the discretization step
length on the boundary, , is somewhat bigger than the one on the domain, . This is quantified through constants stemming from the trace theorem, norm equivalences for the multiplier spaces on the
boundary, and direct and inverse inequalities. In order to better understand the interplay of these constants, we then specialize
the setting to wavelet discretizations. In this case the stability criteria can be stated solely in terms of spectral properties
of wavelet representations of the trace operator. We conclude by illustrating our theoretical findings by some numerical experiments. We stress that the results presented
here apply to any spatial dimension and to a wide selection of Lagrange multiplier spaces which, in particular, need not be
traces of the trial spaces. However, we do always assume that a hierarchy of nested trial spaces is given.

Summary. We propose here a stabilization strategy for the Lagrange multiplier formulation of Dirichlet problems. The stabilization
is based on the use of equivalent scalar products for the spaces and , which are realized by means of wavelet functions. The resulting stabilized bilinear form is coercive with respect to the
natural norm associated to the problem. A uniformly coercive approximation of the stabilized bilinear form is constructed
for a wide class of approximation spaces, for which an optimal error estimate is provided. Finally, a formulation is presented
which is obtained by eliminating the multiplier by static condensation. This formulation is closely related to the Nitsche's method for solving Dirichlet boundary value problems.

Summary.
Convergence for the spatial discretization by linear finite
elements of the non-parametric mean curvature flow is proved under natural
regularity assumptions on the continuous solution. Asymptotic convergence is
also obtained for the time derivative which is proportional to mean curvature.
An existence result for the continuous problem in adequate spaces is
included.

Summary. In the Dual-Primal FETI method, introduced by Farhat et al. [5], the domain is decomposed into non-overlapping subdomains,
but the degrees of freedom on crosspoints remain common to all subdomains adjacent to the crosspoint. The continuity of the
remaining degrees of freedom on subdomain interfaces is enforced by Lagrange multipliers and all degrees of freedom are eliminated.
The resulting dual problem is solved by preconditioned conjugate gradients. We give an algebraic bound on the condition number,
assuming only a single inequality in discrete norms, and use the algebraic bound to show that the condition number is bounded
by for both second and fourth order elliptic selfadjoint problems discretized by conforming finite elements, as well as for
a wide class of finite elements for the Reissner-Mindlin plate model.

Stability and analyticity estimates in maximum-norm are shown for spatially discrete finite element approximations based
on simplicial Lagrange elements for the model heat equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The bounds are logarithm free
and valid in arbitrary dimension and for arbitrary polynomial degree. The work continues an earlier study by Schatz et al.
[5] in which Neumann boundary conditions were considered.

To the best knowledge of the authors, this work presents the first convergence analysis for the Infinite Element Method (IEM)
for the Helmholtz equation in exterior domains. The approximation applies to separable geometries only, combining an arbitrary
Finite Element (FE) discretization on the boundary of the domain with a spectral-like approximation in the “radial” direction,
with shape functions resulting from the separation of variables. The principal idea of the presented analysis is based on
the spectral decomposition of the problem.

Summary. This analysis of convergence of a coupled FEM-IEM is based on our previous work on the FEM and the IEM for exterior Helmholtz
problems. The key idea is to represent both the exact and the numerical solution by the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators that
they induce on the coupling hypersurface in the exterior of an obstacle. The investigation of convergence can then be related
to a spectral analysis of these DtN operators. We give a general outline of our method and then proceed to a detailed investigation
of the case that the coupling surface is a sphere. Our main goal is to explore the convergence mechanism. In this context,
we show well-posedness of both the continuous and the discrete models. We further show that the discrete inf-sup constants
have a positive lower bound that does not depend on the number of DOF of the IEM. The proofs are based on lemmas on the spectra
of the continuous and the discrete DtN operators, where the spectral characterization of the discrete DtN operator is given
as a conjecture from numerical experiments. In our convergence analysis, we show algebraic (in terms of N) convergence of arbitrary order and generalize this result to exponential convergence.

Summary. In this paper, we develop and analyze a new finite element method called the sparse finite element method for second order
elliptic problems. This method involves much fewer degrees of freedom than the standard finite element method. We show nevertheless
that such a sparse finite element method still possesses the superconvergence and other high accuracy properties same as those
of the standard finite element method. The main technique in our analysis is the use of some integral identities.

Summary. An unusual stabilized finite element is presented and analyzed herein for a generalized Stokes problem with a dominating
zeroth order term. The method consists in subtracting a mesh dependent term from the formulation without compromising consistency.
The design of this mesh dependent term, as well as the stabilization parameter involved, are suggested by bubble condensation.
Stability is proven for any combination of velocity and pressure spaces, under the hypotheses of continuity for the pressure
space. Optimal order error estimates are derived for the velocity and the pressure, using the standard norms for these unknowns.
Numerical experiments confirming these theoretical results, and comparisons with previous methods are presented.

Summary.
The finite element method for an elliptic equation with discontinuous
coefficients (obtained for the magnetic potential from Maxwell's
equations) is analyzed in the union of closed domains the boundaries
of which form a system of three circles with the same centre.
As the middle domain is very narrow the triangulations obeying
the maximum angle condition are considered. In the case of piecewise
linear trial functions the maximum rate of
convergence in the norm
of the space is proved
under the following conditions:
1. the exact solution
is piecewise of class ;
2. the family of subtriangulations
of the narrow
subdomain satisfies the maximum angle condition
expressed by relation (38). The paper extends the results of [24].

Summary. We study preconditioners for the -version of the boundary element method for hypersingular integral equations in three dimensions. The preconditioners are
based on iterative substructuring of the underlying ansatz spaces which are constructed by using discretely harmonic basis
functions. We consider a so-called wire basket preconditioner and a non-overlapping additive Schwarz method based on the complete
natural splitting, i.e. with respect to the nodal, edge and interior functions, as well as an almost diagonal preconditioner.
In any case we add the space of piecewise bilinear functions which eliminate the dependence of the condition numbers on the
mesh size. For all these methods we prove that the resulting condition numbers are bounded by . Here, is the polynomial degree of the ansatz functions and is a constant which is independent of and the mesh size of the underlying boundary element mesh. Numerical experiments supporting these results are reported.

Summary. A model for the phase separation of a multi-component alloy with non-smooth free energy is considered. An error bound is
proved for a fully practical piecewise linear finite element approximation using a backward Euler time discretization. An
iterative scheme for solving the resulting nonlinear algebraic system is analysed. Finally numerical experiments with three
components in one and two space dimensions are presented. In the one dimensional case we compare some steady states obtained
numerically with the corresponding stationary solutions of the continuous problem, which we construct explicitly.

Summary.
The mortar element method is a
non conforming finite element method with
elements based on domain decomposition. For the Laplace equation,
it yields an ill conditioned linear system. For solving the linear system,
the so called preconditioned conjugate gradient method in
a subspace is used. Preconditioners are
proposed, and estimates on condition numbers
and arithmetical complexity are given.
Finally, numerical experiments are presented.

Summary.
We estimate condition numbers of -version matrices

product elements with two choices of reference element degrees of
freedom. In
one case (Lagrange elements) the condition numbers grow
exponentially in ,
whereas in the other (hierarchical basis functions based on
Tchebycheff
polynomials) the condition numbers grow rapidly but only
algebraically in .
We conjecture that regardless of the choice of basis the
condition numbers
grow like or faster, where is the dimension

Summary. We analyze V–cycle multigrid algorithms for a class of perturbed problems whose perturbation in the bilinear form preserves the convergence
properties of the multigrid algorithm of the original problem. As an application, we study the convergence of multigrid algorithms
for a covolume method or a vertex–centered finite volume element method for variable coefficient elliptic problems on polygonal
domains. As in standard finite element methods, the V–cycle algorithm with one pre-smoothing converges with a rate independent of the number of levels. Various types of smoothers
including point or line Jacobi, and Gauss-Seidel relaxation are considered.

Summary.
The aim of this work is to study a decoupled algorithm of
a fixed point for solving a
finite element (FE) problem for the approximation of viscoelastic
fluid flow obeying an Oldroyd B differential model. The interest for
this algorithm lies in its applications to numerical simulation and
in the cost of computing. Furthermore it is easy to bring this
algorithm into play.
The unknowns
are
the viscoelastic part of the extra stress tensor,
the velocity and
the pressure.
We suppose that the solution
is sufficiently
smooth and small. The approximation
of stress, velocity and pressure are resp.
discontinuous,
continuous,
continuous FE. Upwinding needed for convection of
, is made
by discontinuous FE. The method consists to
solve alternatively a transport equation for the stress,
and a Stokes like problem for velocity and pressure. Previously,
results of existence of the solution for the approximate problem and
error bounds have been obtained using fixed point
techniques with coupled algorithm.
In this paper we show that the mapping of the decoupled
fixed point algorithm is locally (in a neighbourhood of
)
contracting and we obtain existence, unicity (locally) of the solution
of the approximate problem and error bounds.

Summary. This paper describes the numerical analysis of a time dependent linearised fluid structure interaction problems involving
a very viscous fluid and an elastic shell in small displacements. For simplicity, all changes of geometry are neglected. A
single variational formulation is proposed for the whole problem and generic discretisation strategies are introduced independently
on the fluid and on the structure. More precisely, the space approximation of the fluid problem is realized by standard mixed
finite elements, the shell is approximated by DKT finite elements, and time derivatives are approximated either by midpoint
rules or by backward difference formula.
Using fundamental energy estimates on the continuous problem written in a proper functional space, on its discrete equivalent,
and on an associated error evolution equation, we can prove that the proposed variational problem is well posed, and that
its approximation in space and time converges with optimal order to the continuous solution.
