Abstract
SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page B229-B253, June 2024. Abstract. In this paper we present a framework for the construction and implementation of general virtual element spaces based on projections built from constrained least squares problems. Building on the triples used for finite element spaces, we introduce the concept of a virtual element method (VEM) tuple which encodes the necessary building blocks to construct these projections. Using this approach, a wide range of virtual element spaces can be defined. We discuss [math]-conforming spaces for [math] as well as divergence and curl free spaces. This general framework has the advantage of being easily integrated into any existing finite element package, and we demonstrate this within the open source software package Dune. Reproducibility of computational results. This paper has been awarded the “SIAM Reproducibility Badge: Code and data available” as a recognition that the authors have followed reproducibility principles valued by SISC and the scientific computing community.

期刊介绍:
The purpose of SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (SISC) is to advance computational methods for solving scientific and engineering problems.
SISC papers are classified into three categories:
1. Methods and Algorithms for Scientific Computing: Papers in this category may include theoretical analysis, provided that the relevance to applications in science and engineering is demonstrated. They should contain meaningful computational results and theoretical results or strong heuristics supporting the performance of new algorithms.
2. Computational Methods in Science and Engineering: Papers in this section will typically describe novel methodologies for solving a specific problem in computational science or engineering. They should contain enough information about the application to orient other computational scientists but should omit details of interest mainly to the applications specialist.
3. Software and High-Performance Computing: Papers in this category should concern the novel design and development of computational methods and high-quality software, parallel algorithms, high-performance computing issues, new architectures, data analysis, or visualization. The primary focus should be on computational methods that have potentially large impact for an important class of scientific or engineering problems.
