We consider bivariate piecewise polynomial finite element spaces for curved domains bounded by piecewise conics satisfying homogeneous boundary conditions, construct stable local bases for them using Bernstein-Bézier techniques, prove error bounds and develop optimal assembly algorithms for the finite element system matrices. Numerical experiments confirm the effectiveness of the method.
We introduce bivariate C 1 piecewise quintic finite element spaces for curved domains enclosed by piecewise conics satisfying homogeneous boundary conditions, construct local bases for them using Bernstein-Bézier techniques, and demonstrate the effectiveness of these finite elements for the numerical solution of the Monge-Ampère equation over curved domains
Abstract. We develop stable splitting of the minimal determining sets for the spaces of bivariate C 1 splines on triangulations, including a modified Argyris space, Clough-Tocher, Powell-Sabin and quadrilateral macro-element spaces. This leads to the stable splitting of the corresponding bases as required in Böhmer's method for solving fully nonlinear elliptic PDEs on polygonal domains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
