The postprocessing procedure is implemented in each element independently, and we only need to solve a 6‐by‐6 (resp. 8‐by‐8) local linear algebraic system for triangular (resp. quadrilateral) element. The novelty of this paper is that, by designing some new quadratic dual meshes, and adding six/eight special constructed element‐wise bubble functions to quadratic/serendipity finite element solutions, we prove that the postprocessed solutions satisfy local conservation property on the new dual meshes. In particular, for any full anisotropic diffusion tensor, arbitrary triangular and quadrilateral meshes, we present a general framework to prove the existence and uniqueness of new quadratic/serendipity finite volume element solutions, which is better than some existing ones. That is, the existing theoretical results are improved, especially we extend the traditional rectangular assumption to arbitrary convex quadrilateral mesh. As a byproduct, we also prove that the new solutions converge to exact solution with optimal convergence rates under and norms on primal arbitrary triangular/quasi–parallelogram meshes. Finally, several numerical examples are carried out to validate the theoretical findings.","PeriodicalId":19443,"journal":{"name":"Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139836606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Discrete null field equation methods for solving Laplace's equation: Boundary layer computations","authors":"Li-Ping Zhang, Zi‐Cai Li, Ming-Gong Lee, Hung‐Tsai Huang","doi":"10.1002/num.23092","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/num.23092","url":null,"abstract":"Consider Dirichlet problems of Laplace's equation in a bounded simply‐connected domain , and use the null field equation (NFE) of Green's representation formulation, where the source nodes are located on a pseudo‐boundary outside but not close to its boundary . Simple algorithms are proposed in this article by using the central rule for the NFE, and the normal derivatives of the solutions on the boundary can be easily obtained. These algorithms are called the discrete null field equation method (DNFEM) because the collocation equations are, indeed, the direct discrete form of the NFE. The bounds of the condition number are like those by the method of fundamental solutions (MFS) yielding the exponential growth as the number of unknowns increases. One trouble of the DNFEM is the near singularity of integrations for the solutions in boundary layers in Green's representation formulation. The traditional BEM also suffers from the same trouble. To deal with the near singularity, quadrature by expansions and the sinh transformation are often used. To handle this trouble, however, we develop two kinds of new techniques: (I) the interpolation techniques by Taylor's formulas with piecewise ‐degree polynomials and the Fourier series, and (II) the mini‐rules of integrals, such as the mini‐Simpson's and the mini‐Gaussian rules. Error analysis is made for technique I to achieve optimal convergence rates. Numerical experiments are carried out for disk domains to support the theoretical analysis made. The numerical performance of the DNFEM is excellent for disk domains to compete with the MFS. The errors with can be obtained by combination algorithms, which are satisfactory for most engineering problems. In summary, the new simple DNFEM is based on the NFE, which is different from the boundary element method (BEM). The theoretical basis in error and stability has been established in this article. One trouble in seeking the numerical solutions in boundary layers has been handled well; this is also an important contribution to the BEM. Besides, numerical experiments are encouraging. Hence the DNFEM is promising, and it may become a new boundary method for scientific/engineering computing.","PeriodicalId":19443,"journal":{"name":"Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139777475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
